Tsvetkov
When asked why a woman dreams of dogs, Tsvetkov advised paying attention to the height and breed of the dog. However, his interpretation of the dream is very similar to Miller’s explanation. According to Tsvetkov, a dream in which large breeds appear also speaks of the help of friends.
Petting a decorative dog - the dream book says that this is a sign of fun. The girl will soon be at the party and have a great time. In addition, a pleasant surprise awaits the young lady in the form of a long-awaited and desired meeting with a person from the past. However, such a date will lead nowhere. Therefore, the lady can hardly expect serious changes in life.
Attack and bite
If in a dream there is strong pain after a dog bite, a friendship in reality may be lost as a result of a quarrel. Looking at a bleeding, painful wound means there will be a serious disagreement with a relative. If there are no sensations, but the sight of blood is present, family problems will have to be discussed.
If an animal attacks quietly, biting your leg, the dream promises betrayal. Competitors weave intrigues and harm business. Managed to drive the dog away - this means protecting yourself from troubles and not giving envious people a chance to touch your heartstrings.
According to most dream books, a dog barking in a dream means success. But if for this reason the sleeper was frightened, unpleasant news awaits. According to many dream books, a dog and barking in a dream signify a big scandal and trouble in reality.
Angry dog
Trying to pet an angry dog - the dream book explains such a dream as a warning. The dreamer needs to sort out her future a little. Or rather, change some planned lines of behavior. If this is not done and everything is left to chance, then it may happen that the quality of life will deteriorate significantly.
The dream book does not recommend petting an angry dog - in real life the dreamer will have many envious women. These persons, in addition to quiet envy, will make attempts to harm the girl.
Fighting with a ferocious dog and escaping from him means declassifying the lady’s enemies and defeating them.
Dog character
- Have you dreamed of a kind dog that you stroked in your sleep? This is a good sign. This means that fate itself has come to visit you and treats you with warmth; you should expect a good meeting with your old acquaintance, who is very positive towards you and will bring good news.
- Petting an angry dog is also a pretty good sign. Only the strong (the one who is stronger than the dog and whose strength is recognized by the four-legged dog) can pet an aggressive animal. Such a dream is a sign of imminent victory over your enemy.
Puppy
Puppies seen in a dream promise pleasant moments. It is especially good to pet a small, affectionate puppy - this dream foreshadows romantic encounters in the near future.
If puppies bark loudly and annoyingly in night dreams, irritating the dreamer with such actions, this dream may be a harbinger of annoying gossip that discredits one’s reputation. To reduce rumors about you, try not to talk about your achievements and wealth. The people around you may not share your joys at all.
Emotions for the dog
Often, knowing what emotions the stroking caused, many answers can be given:
- Disgust is related to finances. You have a complex, “dirty” business ahead of you that will bring profit.
- Tenderness - expect romantic adventures.
- Pity (for the dog) - they will understand you and support you in your problems.
- Satisfaction in a dream from stroking an animal is clearly interpreted by the dream book as a correctly made decision. If you need to make a difficult decision, take action - your decision will be the only right one.
- The absence of emotions predicts a promotion or other changes for the better in your destiny.
White dog
Petting a big white dog in a dream means you will soon meet your soulmate. If in real life you already have a partner, then by petting a dog in your dreams, get ready for the growth of relationships and feelings. It may well happen that a lady will be proposed for marriage after she has such a dream.
And seeing a snow-white dog expecting offspring in your dreams is a good sign. A woman who remembers a similar fact from her dream can radically change her place of work. Everything will work out in the best possible way, the work will meet expectations and become more profitable.
Why dream of petting a dog - general interpretation
Almost all dream books claim that a dog appearing in a dream indicates the dreamer’s desire to meet an old friend or expand his circle of friendships.
If it is clear that the animal is experiencing pleasure and joy from affection, then in reality it will soon have a fun time in a friendly company. If the dog sits calmly and does not react in any way to being petted, then in reality the dreamer will have to make an effort to get the person of the opposite sex he likes to pay attention to him.
The dog caresses, gratefully rubs against the person who is stroking him - the dream predicts the normalization of the situation in all areas of life. There is a bright streak ahead, you can forget about troubles.
A person who pets a stray dog will face housing problems. If in a dream it is known for sure that the dog has an owner, then the plot takes on the opposite meaning: the dreamer will soon improve his living situation.
Petting a lot of dogs in a dream means in reality joining a good friendly company or joining a close-knit team.
A dream in which you caress a dog with a collar has several interpretations, but they are always related to money:
- seeing a thick, heavy collar with spikes on a large fighting dog means receiving a large income, which will be the result of a lot of hard work;
- seeing an elite dog with a beautiful, fashionable, new collar in a dream means making easy profits;
- petting a dog with an old, tattered collar means earning money through hard, exhausting work.
Ginger dog
A red dog is also a messenger of new feelings. The dream of stroking a red dog promises a quick love discovery. New love may appear in your life in the person of an old acquaintance or friend. Pay attention to those who are next to you, and you will definitely understand who such a dream is telling you about.
A red dog or a dog whose color is closer to brown suggests that there is a person in the circle of friends who is mentally devastated and exhausted. Take a closer look at your friends; if you see this person, help him. At least talk about his problem.
A red dog can also mean that your new acquaintance is a person who is not entirely trustworthy. Before you plunge headlong into new feelings, you need to make sure that your acquaintance is a gentleman and test him in many emergency situations.
General meaning of the symbol
Since ancient times, the dog has been a human's assistant and bodyguard. Therefore, often, seen in a dream, it is a warning about some imminent event. If you interpret the dream correctly, you can predict many events in life. An animal you see in a dream will tell you who is a friend and who is an enemy, and how to behave in different situations.
Dog character
To correctly understand the meaning of a dream, you need to remember which animal was in the dream, good or evil:
- to see a kind dog in a dream means that you will soon meet an old acquaintance who will tell the person good news;
- if the dog is angry, it means that he will soon defeat his enemy.
Black Dog
Seeing in a dream - petting a black dog - means good changes in life. More precisely, this means that the sleeper (sleeping) will be able to turn some of his enemies into his true friends.
If a large black dog attacks the dreamer, tries to growl and bite her, this can be explained as the fact that the lady pays a meager amount of attention to her family (husband, children and parents). In addition, she herself may be aggressive towards her family, and there may be various reasons for this. Having seen something like this, you definitely need to become kinder to your loved ones.
Who exactly was petted?
Interpreters attach great importance to the breed of the pet that they happened to pet in a dream. It is this factor that will tell you how best to act in the coming days.

Stroke and regret

Moreover, in a dream you can feel pity and tenderness for the animal. Then this warns about the help that will be provided to you and which will be necessary and timely.
A dog that is dirty and causes some disgust, appearing in a dream, indicates that there are dirty, but money-making “deeds” ahead, which the dreamer will cope with and become rich due to this.
Emotional background
The meaning of a dream in which you pet a dog depends on the emotional coloring of the dream:
- The pleasure of stroking a pet indicates the correctness of a recently made decision. If you need to make a choice in a difficult situation, you should act immediately, listening to the call of your heart.
- Feeling pity for an animal in a dream means you can count on support from colleagues, friends and loved ones.
- A surge of tenderness towards the four-legged creature predicts a quick acquaintance with a person of the opposite sex and romantic adventures.
- A feeling of disgust speaks of a “dirty business” upcoming in the near future, which will allow you to make good money.
In the absence of any emotions during contact with the dog, there is a high probability of promotion on the career ladder or positive changes in fate.
Someone else's dog came running to you
A dream about how a dog ran away from its owner and began to fawn on you, and you stroked it and were happy about it, says that a joyful new acquaintance in reality awaits you. A person will bring a new trend, joy and fun with positive emotions into your slightly stagnant life.
A girl who is about to tie the knot and shortly before the wedding has a dream about stroking a dog can be calm. Such a vision tells her that she made the right choice, and her life partner is her person forever.
Pregnant dog and puppies
A pregnant dog dreams of happiness and peace of mind. According to popular dream books, a dog that gives birth in a dream foretells successful results of work related to people and a team.
A dog that has given birth promises a fateful meeting for lonely people: for a woman it is a love relationship with a younger person, for the childless it is a new addition to the family, for the rest it is the attainment of spiritual harmony.
Puppies dream of unexpected surprises, as well as troubles and undertakings without benefit for themselves. Picking up an abandoned dog means the need to perform an altruistic act soon.
Appearance of the dog
It is also important to remember the size and breed of the animal. If this is a small dog of a dirty red color, then in reality the dreamer should be wary of gossip and rumors that ill-wishers spread about him. A large, well-groomed dog means a strong enemy capable of causing significant harm to a person. The large size of the animal indicates the serious status of the ill-wisher, who is in power and associated with state or political activities. Such a high-ranking official in real life can cause a lot of problems for the dreamer. If a woman dreams of a big red dog, then in reality she will be pestered by an annoying admirer.
A miniature dog almost always symbolizes the weaker sex. A young lady who sees a small dog in a dream is advised to worry about getting rid of her rival, who is trying to charm her chosen one. To do this, you need to take a closer look at your friends who are excessively intrusive, constantly asking about the dreamer’s personal life. Dreaming of a red spaniel means that in reality a person pays little attention to his family. A large Great Dane guarantees that management will be dissatisfied with the dreamer’s work. A red toy terrier, bulldog, Pekingese or chao-chao will bring misunderstandings in your relationship with your loved one, which will not be difficult to resolve. Dreaming of an affectionate dog is a good sign, speaking of loyal friends whom the dreamer can count on in any situation.

Size matters

Also, such a dream may indicate that comrades will help the dreamer financially. Thanks to this, it will be possible to solve pressing problems and stay afloat.
The miniature dog is interpreted ambiguously. If he was sweet and affectionate, joyful events and good news are expected in reality. In the same case, if the animal was aggressive, numerous troubles are possible, the solution of which will take a lot of time. But then life will begin to change for the better.
