If the oxen in your dream are well-fed and impressive, this means that fortunate times, good luck and prosperous businesses are waiting for you in the waking world just around the corner. You are going to become a leader and a very important person in your community. Fat oxen grazing on a field also announce successful undertakings, increasing wealth and ascension on the social ladder.
The ox as a sexual symbol stands for masculinity and attraction, therefore if the person who has the dream is a man, the animal illustrates his sexual magnetism and success with women. If a well-built, strong ox appears in the dream of a woman, the animal represents her sexual desire.
Seeing a pair of well-matched oxen on a pasture means that you are going to meet the right person for a stable relationship in the near future or, if you are not single, that you have already met the perfect mate.
If well-fed and strong animals usually stand for beautiful upcoming events in your waking life; seeing animals in poor health, wounded or dead in your dream forewarns of bad luck, distress and misfortune in your life.
Oxen drinking from a clear pond announce great, unexpected benefit and earnings. This may refer to wealth and estates, but also metaphorically to an inestimable companion or life partner.
If the ox or oxen in your dream are lean and undernourished, it means that you are going to experience financial losses and conflicts with your friends, family or partner. Moreover, dead oxen in your dream forewarns of irreparable loss - of a dear one or of fortune.
