In a dream it is a strong, awe-inspiring, brave, hardy chief who follows innovation, who fears nothing and bears people's harm beyond his capacity. If a woman sees that she has a horn like the horns of a water buffalo, she will attain an office of authority, or a king will marry her if she is fit for that, or one of those connected with the king; otherwise its interpretation applies to her guardian. The water buffalo is an awe-inspiring man of much cunning, who listens a great deal to what is said, travels much by land and sea, runs swiftly, and has dominion over enemies. It may signify toil, striving and hardship together with the good, kindness and benefit in it. Seeing it may signify wrongdoing. If it is used for plowing or for turning [a water wheel or mill], it signifies destitution and need.
Whoever sees that he owns a herd of water buffalo will be in charge of great, powerful men.
Whoever sees that he is riding a water buffalo, or handling it, or that it entered his house, or did something to him, it is in the same position as the bull in all of that; and female water buffalo are in the position of cows in all their states.
