Dogs are man’s best friends and also very popular among women; therefore, it’s no surprise that dogs will appear in our dreams. Yet, just as there are many different types of dog breeds, there are many possibilities of dog dream meanings. This is why interpreting your dog symbol can have many different messages depending on the feelings within the dream, past experiences, present situations, and possible future circumstances.
Dog Dream Meanings
Here are seven possible interpretations for symbol of dogs:
- Loyalty.
- Unconditional love.
- Best friend.
- Ugly woman or man.
- Someone who barks a lot.
- A prevented man.
- You are accepting bad behavior.
Feelings in the Dream
Feelings can change the dog dream meanings for people, even if it’s the same dream scene. Let’s use the following example:
A dog jumps up on your bed and licks you on the face.
- Feeling joyful could mean that you’re a dog lover.
- Being disgusted might be the emotion of someone who thinks dogs are dirty creatures.
- Having fear would be appropriate for a person afraid of dogs.
Past Experiences
Events that occurred in your life alter the dream interpretation for dogs. For instance:
You dream of a dog barking.
- You recognized the sound of your deceased dog bark and knew it was him/her saying hello.
- Someone who was bitten after the dog barked could be having a warning dream about an aggressive person who’s always talking.
- Somebody who used to work at a dog shelter is receiving a message about their current work using symbolism from their former job.
Present Situations
We often have solution dreams to assist us with choices or problems that are currently happening. This is where dream interpretation is very helpful. Here are a few illustrations:
- Trying to figure out if she should continue to go out with a man, Nancy falls asleep. She dreams he turns into a dog, who continues to lick her body despite telling him to stop, and then bites her throat.
- Determining if whether or not he should do business with a potential vendor, Mike ask for guidance in his dream. He dreams that his unethical neighbor’s dog is cozying up to this vendor.
- Wondering all day if a job offer is right for her, Veronica finally drifts off to sleep. In her dream, a beautiful golden retriever is blocking the door at her current office, then in the next dream scene the dog leads her into the new job office.
Possible Future Circumstances
It’s possible for you to have precognitive dreams of upcoming future events. The following are examples of this:
- A single woman dreams of German Sheppard walking, yet all she can view of the dog’s owner is his business pants and dress shoes. Months later, at a party she meets a businessman who loves his German Sheppard.
- You dream that a dog is pooping in your closet. A week later, you catch your roommate wearing your clothes without asking for permission.
- A man dreams of a puppy whining in pain on his desk at work, vomits, then walks out of the office. He recognizes the significance a year later when he left the job that was causing havoc on his health and begins his new business.
Hopefully, all these dream examples will help you ponder on what your dog dream was really about. If you need assistance interpreting your dreams, please visit dream interpretation services. To expand your personal growth and spirituality, check out spiritual growth coaching.
