The sheep is renowned for its flock instinct and it is this interpretation that is most usually accepted in dreams. The helplessness of the sheep when off balance is also another aspect that is recognizable, as is the apparent lack of intelligence. The god-fearing, 'good sheep' and also the passive and 'sheepish' may have relevance within the context of the dream. To dream of sheep and wolves or of sheep and goats is to register the conflict between good and evil.
