Cowboy

Cowgirl, Cowboys, Rodeo, Wild West

Riding the range under a wide sky, the cowboy is one of America's most familiar figures: tough, self-reliant and at home in open country. In a dream a cowboy can point to plain speaking, hard work and a code of fairness you try to live by. Becoming one yourself means you're itching to round up a messy situation and sort it out. A rodeo, with its bucking broncos and cheering stands, may reflect a challenge you've taken on partly for the show of it.

Dream variations

• Riding with a group of cowboysYou're part of a team where people rely on one another's skills. Pull your weight and enjoy the company.
• Riding off into the sunsetYou want to close a chapter your own way. Part on good terms with the people who rode with you.
• Lassoing somethingYou're trying to catch hold of a goal that keeps getting away. Aim carefully; one good throw beats ten wild ones.
• A standoff in a Western townA disagreement has become a test of who blinks first. Find a way to lower the stakes.
