Ox
A well-fed ox — strong, patient, yoked to labour — often touches becoming a leading figure in your community, with fortune in fat oxen and dwindling means in lean ones. The dream may ask where steady, uncomplaining strength is lifting you toward prominence, and whether the beast of your industry is thriving or wasting in poor pasture.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for ox, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To see a well-fed ox, signifies that you will become a leading person in your community, and receive much adulation from women.
To see fat oxen in green pastures, signifies fortune, and your rise to positions beyond your expectations. If they are lean, your fortune will dwindle, and your friends will fall away from you.
If you see oxen well-matched and yoked, it betokens a happy and wealthy marriage, or that you are already joined to your true mate.
To see a dead ox, is a sign of bereavement.
If they are drinking from a clear pond, or stream, you will possess some long-desired estate, perhaps it will be in the form of a lovely and devoted woman. If a woman she will win the embraces of her lover.
