The Flock are a herd of demonic sheep, and the remnants of Bill's drove. Technically, they belong to a class of being known as 'nightmares'.
History
The Flock was inherited by Dipper along with Bill's power. It's most likely he first discovered them around the time he worked out he owned his own plot of the Mindscape.
They serve Alcor henceforth, and maintain the duty of protecting his corner of the Dreamscape from intruders. At first coming off as rather enigmatic, he proves to be a good influence on the sheep.
Later, the flock would even come to take 'dreams'- a helpless class of beings that nightmares normally devour- taking the form of lambs under their protection.
Even after the universe ends, the Flock remains. The influx of new energy released when Dipper restarts everything transforms nightmares, including The Flock, into demons, and the dreams into angels.
Relationship with Dipper
While in general, demons tend to merely tolerate the nightmares and occasionally eat them, Dipper cares for his Flock.
Besides defending them against intruders, he also helps them out of dreamcatchers if needed. If harmed, he also uses his energy to heal them.
Outside of the Mindscape Dipper summons them either just to visit his family or to give people certain dreams. For family and friends who have trouble sleeping, he would call them to give them good dreams or to protect them. Similarly, he would send them to enemies to give them nightmares.
Either way, he would also spend casual time with them in the Mindscape. During such times, he plays them music, talks to them and tells them about himself or about events they did not see, and listens when they talk to him.
