Human relation — Pet, predator, herd member, or pest—your role toward cow matters. Ecology hint — Habitat in the dream (home, forest, water) grounds the cow in waking context.

Attribute psychology — falling

Footing lost — Sudden drop—not gradual decline. Catch panic — Witness agency under time pressure. Impact fear — Consequence at bottom. Height scale — Balcony vs cliff calibrates stakes. Gravity return — Idealism meets ground.
