Stampede
Stampeding animals, Stampeding herd, Crowd stampede
A stampede starts with one startled animal, and within seconds the whole herd is running, simply because everyone else is. That chain reaction is what this dream is about: panic or excitement spreading through a group faster than anyone can think. It may appear when rumors are flying at work, or your friends are all rushing toward the same decision. The rumble of hooves and shaking ground show how strong that collective push feels. Standing your ground while the herd flows around you is a sign of steady judgment.
