Ram

Rams, Bighorn sheep, Battering ram

A ram lowers its curled horns and charges, and the crack of two rams clashing can carry across a mountainside. In a dream a ram often stands for drive, leadership and the will to push forward, sometimes a little too hard. Seeing one lead the flock can mean you're stepping up to set the direction for others. As the first sign of the zodiac, Aries the ram also belongs to spring and new beginnings. A battering ram, the kind once used to break down castle gates, hints that you're forcing your way through when a key might work.
