Psychology
An alpaca wrapped in soft fleece can stand for a wish to be held and protected. When you are tired or tense, a longing for softness may take this form.
Folklore and history
Alpacas have long been raised in the Andes for their fine fleece, sustaining life in the cold highlands. In Japan they are popular, gentle animals seen at farms and zoos.

This site's view
In this site's view, was it shorn? Fluffy means your warmth is comforting others. Shorn means check whether you have given so much that you are left cold. Warmth is for sharing, but keep a little for yourself.
Going deeper: our reading
Alpacas are known for making a soft humming sound to one another within the herd. They are said to hum when uneasy or when checking on a companion, so beneath their calm looks they are quietly keeping track of each other. In this site's reading, if you heard alpacas humming in your dream, it reflects a wish to stay connected through small, wordless signals. Blending into a herd and hearing their quiet voices nearby suggests you can rest easy in the presence of those around you. A lone alpaca humming at a distance may be the loneliness of wanting someone to sense your feelings without being able to say them. This is our speculation, but burying your face in soft fleece suggests you want someone who simply stays beside you, more than words of encouragement. That warm memory can also help you do the same for another.
What to do on waking
Wear something soft to the touch today. At night, ask yourself whether you have been giving too much to others.
