Billy goat in a dream
A billy goat in a dream is read in folk tradition as persistence, stubbornness and the strength to see a plan through.
In folk belief the billy goat stands for a firm will and a nature that does not give way easily. If he was calm and grazing in your dream, it is believed that patience will bring you to a goal others find too high. A billy goat that rears up or shakes his horns is read only as a hint not to carry a quarrel to the bitter end out of sheer spite. Old folk say this is a dream of people who know what they want and need just a touch of give.
