Shepherd in a dream
A shepherd in a dream is read in folk tradition as a caring keeper, a calm life and duty toward those who trust you.
In folk songs the shepherd is a man with a flute who lives slowly and looks after what has been entrusted to him. A dream about him is read as care for family, work or the people who rely on you. A shepherd in a green meadow is believed to announce a serene period and good progress. If the flock was all together, you are said to be keeping things in order. The dream reminds you that even a keeper should sometimes sit down in the shade and play something for his own soul.
