What does dreaming about lamb & sheep mean in the Bible?
Belonging to the Shepherd — and the Lamb of God
Sheep are the Bible's picture of us: prone to wander, yet known, led and defended by the Shepherd. The Lamb is its picture of Christ — the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. Dreaming of sheep may raise a gentle question: whose voice are you following? In the SoulGuide Dream Guide, lamb & sheep is filed under animals — one of 54 symbols in the guide — and is answered with 3 King James Version passages quoted in full: John 1:29, Psalms 100:3, Isaiah 53:6. Each passage below carries a short note explaining why it applies to lamb & sheep, so the entry can be read on its own without the rest of the guide.
