Cow
Cows waiting patiently for the milking hour were long held to promise abundance—hopes and desires fulfilled in their own good time. There is plenty here, but plenty that rewards patience. Sometimes the dream asks what you've been tending and waiting on, and whether you trust it will come good if you don't rush it.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for cow, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To dream of seeing cows waiting for the milking hour, promises abundant fulfilment of hopes and desires.
[45] See Cattle.
Fontaine, 1862
If you dream of seeing large herds of cows, it predicts prosperity and wealth. To see one cow in your dream is a sign of a good piece of luck of some kind. If a young girl dreams of cows, it is a sign she will marry a rich man, and have numerous children.
