1- We may be word-associating as in the sense of being ‘fleeced’ or cheated.
The fleece of a sheep also represents security, warmth and comfort and will often signify those creature comforts we are able to give ourselves.
2- Dreaming of a fleece, as opposed to the sheep itself, signifies a return to an older set of values. It links with the tasks which are given us when we set out on our Hero’s journey (See Also: Archetypes).
We may fear that what we are about to do is impossible, but our sense of self-preservation will not allow us to give up.
3- We may be in line for a spiritual reward. In this case the message would be ‘keep up the good work’. Our task will bring us success.
