Interpretation 2 — Eric Ackroyd

(1) A lamb may symbolize vulnerability and dependence - the child in you, that needs your love.

See also Child, sections (2) and (5).

(2) It may symbolize innocence - the beauty of yourself as you originally were, before the innocent joy of being gave way to the perplexing complications of doing, getting and achieving.

See also Child, section (2).

(3) Is it a lamb for the slaughter; a sacrificial lamb (the Lamb of God that takes away the sins of the world)? This probably reflects a longing to be rid of guilt-feelings, but it may also signify that sins can be dissolved - if we learn to forgive both ourselves and others.

See also Sheep.
