Dream Symbol
dog
dog
Loyalty, protectiveness. Dreaming of this animal can represent:
- Having too much of one of these qualities, or that you could benefit by being less this way
- Not having enough of one of these qualities, or that you could benefit by being more like this
- Someone or something in your real life with whom you associate one of these qualities (an event, situation, threat, etc.)
For more clues, pay attention to what the animal was doing or any particular characteristic that stood out. A dog can also represent an actual dog in your life, or your inner child (meaning that you could benefit from more attention to your fun, playfulness, or nurturing).
A dog in trouble, sick, or overlooked can mean you may be overlooking a responsibility for yourself or your life.
An aggressive dog can mean you're feeling afraid or threatened (often by a perceived emotional threat) in your real life.
