Since bulls are said to ‘see red’ they can be a symbol of repressed anger and the bull headed attitudes that keep you from self-actualization or feelings of self-worth. Often representing characteristics adopted from the father, the bull can appear in dreams when you are coming to terms with the source of your repressed anger. As territorial creatures, the bull can symbolize your feelings about Self value and what you hold and protect. The Bull’s association with the astrological sign Taurus as an Archetype can represent areas of life associated with security, the senses and the value you place on experience. Bulls have mythological significance in the area of controlling passions in pursuit of a more spiritual awareness. Also see Animals .
