To understand a dream, it’s helpful to keep in mind why and how we dream. When we sleep, the body and perception systems are shut down, but the brain remains active. The brain thinks about what has recently been most active during waking hours—experiences, thoughts and feelings accessed recently whether consciously or not. The brain is still active, so it works on this content, but not in a familiar, rational way. During sleep, this material is not related using input from the external real world, but rather by the brain connections already established in the cortex. So the story connectedness isn’t like everyday experience, but rather a strange, circuitous flow from one image to the next. So dreams aren’t magical messages to guide our life, but dream imagery is taken from everyday experiences, thoughts and feelings that matter most to us during our waking life. So it’s a mistake to apply standard symbol definitions, such as Freudian meanings or standard “dreammoods” symbols. All you need to do is think about what kind of imagery it is and how it relates to your daily life.

The image in this dream is one of nature depicted as a grand, beautiful beast. Because it is white, nature is seen as pure, powerful and spiritually significant. Because buffaloes almost became extinct, they also represent the fragility of nature at the hands of mankind. Someone who reveres nature might have this image in a dream.

I don't think dreaming of a white buffalo means anything different than dreaming about green jelly beans.

Dreams are just your brain reprograming itself, by storing all the inputs it was exposed to during the day, saving what is usefull and deleting what is not.

you have many dreams every night, but hardly remember any.

And none of them have meaning.
