Personal Focus: Cowboys represent the rugged individualism that is intrinsically bound up with the mythology of the American tradition of expansion and cultivation. The cowboy is often considered a lone figure; connecting with a sense of isolation that is no less capable for his solitude. The media has turned the cowboy into an icon of enormous proportions. They represent the silent strength of the masculine principle at its absolute best. Any dream that features a cowboy is likely connecting to this spirit of independence.
