Why do you dream about a dog? Dream Interpretation

It's no secret that the human subconscious has limitless possibilities. Instead of directly communicating with our consciousness and offering us its observations, it is often only actively connected at night when we sleep. Many scientists talk about the possibility of predicting the future in a dream, because not a single detail from our life escapes the subconscious - everything is analyzed, compared and the overall result is derived. That is why people have treated dream interpreters with respect since ancient times. A modern version of such a sage is a dream book. There are well-known authoritative publications, such as Miller’s dream book, and less common ones; and each of them gives its own interpretation of this or that dream.

Let's look at what a dream in which a dog or several dogs are present means, based on various sources. Why do you dream about a dog? These best friends of man can evoke completely opposite feelings in many people: love, pity, compassion, but also fear, hatred, anxiety. So:

Dog - Miller's dream book

Miller distinguishes between different behaviors, types and attitudes towards a dog in a dream. As a rule, it symbolizes a specific person or group of people:

an evil dog will bring you intrigues from enemies and even friends, including if it bites you; but kind and friendly, on the contrary, means good luck and good attitude towards you;
a skinny, dirty and hungry dog means illness, bankruptcy or failure, and a purebred beautiful animal means success in the financial sphere. In a woman's personal life, good luck will be brought by a large dog that she was afraid of, but it can also symbolize society and resistance to it; light flirting and optional relationships will bring girls small purebred dogs.
if a dog growls behind you, then someone is plotting against you; if he barks, expect bad news;
a mad dog symbolizes your problems in one area or another of your life; how you deal with it will solve them.
a hunting dog brings favorable circumstances, and a bloodhound following you warns against temptations.

How many dogs were there?

One

Having a rebellious character, a strong inner core. The sleeper does not rely on the help of other people, preferring to achieve goals independently.

Two

The body is exhausted morally and physically. Rest is required - if not with friends, then a regular walk in nature.

Three

Uncertainty about the planned enterprise, doubt about a favorable outcome.

Pack

Aggressive dogs signal problems and conspiracies created by dubious acquaintances.
Friendly dogs in a pack mean success in business, an opportunity to start something that has been planned for a long time.
A playing flock means successful cooperation.

A lot of

A pleasant evening in a fun company.

Dogs walking next to you mean travel, auspicious business trip.
Running towards you in a friendly manner - meeting like-minded people.

Why do you dream about a dog according to Vanga’s dream book?

Vanga gives dogs the meaning of a friend or some kind of higher power.

So, why do you dream about a dog according to Vanga’s dream book? A white dog will bring support from friends, while a black dog will bring betrayal and disappointment in them. A sick or dead dog directly indicates what may happen to your close friend in the near future. The same applies to stray or driven dogs - financial problems and struggles with society.

But the dog’s attitude towards you means an invasion of higher powers into your life; if it protects you, then you don’t have to worry - these are your guardian angels. But an attacking dog is the intervention of evil otherworldly forces. To save yourself and resist them, Vanga advises turning to God.

Interpretation of dreams with a dog

According to most somnologists, the image of a dog in a dream is a reflection of a person’s emotions, his desires and hopes. However, in some cases, this animal may appear in a dream, as a warning about what is to come. In order to correctly interpret dreams with a dog, you should rely on the following criteria:

Number of animals in a dream;
Dimensions of the dog;
Color and breed of the dreamed dog;
Actions performed by the dreamed animal.

Depending on these nuances, a dream with a dog can be either positive or negative. Let's consider each of the above points separately.

By number of dogs

One of the main criteria by which dreams about a person’s four-legged friends should be interpreted is the number of dogs in the dream. Thus, if you dream:

A lonely animal can be a symbol of one specific emotion, event and person. If this is your personal dog or a familiar mongrel, then the events concern you or your loved ones;
Two or three dogs - confusion, uncertainty about the successful outcome of the plan. You are literally torn between two fronts;
Several dogs, a pack - this is your environment. The meaning of the dream depends on the behavior of the animals. If the pack is aggressive and you are surrounded by enemies, you should pay close attention to people.

It is very rare to dream of a dog giving birth. Such a dream means the birth of something fundamentally new from what is already familiar or the appearance of a new friend and like-minded person. If the dream is psychedelic in nature (the dog reproduces by division or in some other unnatural way) and the dream process itself is characterized by an alarming and depressing feeling, your subconscious mind is telling you about an impending emotional disorder.

According to dog size

Another important criterion is the size of the dreamed animal:

If you dream of a big dog, then most often this is a good sign. In the near future you will meet an interesting person who will become your friend and loved one. A dream in which a large dog fawns over the dreamer has a particularly good meaning. However, if the animal barks loudly and mournfully, this is bad news. At the same time, an attacking huge dog means a powerful enemy that you cannot defeat alone. If in a dream you feed a big beautiful dog and it protects you, then in the near future you will climb the career ladder;
If you dream of an average dog, then your dream is about the financial side of life. Depending on the dog’s behavior, your capital will either increase to unexpected heights, or you will face financial collapse and complete bankruptcy. If you dream that you are taming a wild and frightened medium-sized animal, this means that a successful and profitable change of activity awaits you in the near future;
If you dream of a small dog, then the dream speaks of a relationship with a loved one. For example, according to Sigmund Freud's dream book, a small dog wagging its tail signals insufficient flirting in a relationship with a loved one. In addition, if you dream of a pack of small dogs, the interpretation of the dream depends on the behavior of the animals. If they are irritated, then in the near future you will have a disagreement with relatives, which will have dire consequences for the whole family. If you feed small dogs by hand and they fawn on you, family relationships will be harmonious and strong.

A dog of gigantic size, towering above buildings and trees, means events of colossal importance. Whether they are negative or not depends on the behavior of the animal. The most disturbing is the dream about the hellish Cerberus chasing you. Such a dream means that in the near future you will be overwhelmed by a stream of problems so destructive that you will not be able to cope with them yourself. However, according to the Psychological Dream Book, the image of the hellish Cerberus can also be a residual image, depicted by the subconscious as a result of stress or severe psychological trauma.

By color and breed

The color of the fur of a dog seen in a dream is also of great importance. For example, the color white symbolizes the attitude of a loved one towards you. Thus, if you dream of a white animal:

While hunting - perhaps you are promiscuous;
Barking - betrayal by a friend or relative;
Playful - you are overprotective of children or other younger relatives;
Put on a chain and which you stroke - your enemy will become your friend;
A pack of white dogs means close family ties.

If you dream of a black dog , this could be an omen of illness, trouble and even death. In particular:

A pack of black dogs means the appearance of evil envious people and enemies who are ready to do anything to destroy you. The brighter the feeling of anxiety when these animals approach, the stronger your enemies in real life;
A desperately howling dog - to the death or serious illness of one of the relatives, close friends or good acquaintances;
An exhausted, hungry or dying animal means the loss of something important and valuable in life.

However, there is no need to be scared. If a black dog behaves friendly in a dream, the dream you saw means that in the near future you will meet an unusual and multifaceted person who will become your friend.

If you dream of a gray dog , then, according to the Big Dream Book, your close friend will face imminent trouble. However, if the dog appears gray only because of the dust and dirt that has covered it, from which you have successfully washed it, you are able to help your friend and help him out in a difficult situation. The further well-being of your loved one depends on you.

The image of a red dog in a dream speaks of future intimate relationships. If the animal's fur is smooth and shiny, and the animal itself is affectionate and friendly, exciting adventures in your intimate life await you. If the dog is sick or embittered, alas, there will be no luck in his personal life.

The breed of dog is also of great importance when determining sleep. If you dream:

Shepherd - an interesting person will appear in your life who will become either your best friend or your strongest enemy;
A Labrador or Golden Retriever is your close friend. Depending on what is happening with the dog, the dream about this person can be interpreted;
Any hunting or hound - according to one interpretation, you are overwhelmed by disturbing thoughts, or someone is chasing you or watching you. However, according to Freud’s dream book, there is another interpretation, according to which a hunting or hound dog in a dream symbolizes a sexual partner;
Chihuahua - symbolizes a petty, cowardly person who has appeared in your life, or a minor nuisance;
Mongrel - you will experience feelings or emotions that have long been familiar to you, and events may also happen with a person you know well.

Other breeds and external features of the dog seen in a dream do not matter in the interpretation. However, if in a dream you buy a purebred dog, this means extraordinary profit.

By action

The actions of an animal in a dream are a key criterion for the correct interpretation of a dream. Depending on what happens to the dog himself and what he does himself, the interpretation of the dream with his participation depends:

An aggressive dog is chained - your ill-wisher is trying to get closer to you, but his attempts are not crowned with success;
An animal comes into the house - fortunately;
A dog attacks the dreamer - you need to take a closer look at your friends, since a hidden enemy is lurking among them;
A mother dog fiercely protects her offspring - to unexpected profit;
The dog is looking for someone and sniffs out a trail - a warning about the danger threatening the dreamer;
An animal hit by a car means sudden problems;
If a dog attacks , a person may be accused of a crime that he did not commit;
Killing an aggressive dog in a dream means getting rid of a strong enemy. However, if in a dream you killed a kind and affectionate dog, you will have a quarrel with a friend, which will occur through your fault;
The beast howls - to trouble. If an animal whines pitifully - it means illness; if it howls pitifully and sadly - it means the death of someone close. But if the howl sounds threatening and frightening, it means there are intrigues behind your back;
Feeding the dog means good news coming from afar;
An animal dies - to losses, which only time can make up for;
Embittered dogs fight among themselves - according to the interpretation of most dream books, this is a warning sign. The dreamer's environment is against him. A person should be more careful.

Separately, we should consider the meaning of a dog bite in a person’s dream:

A mongrel bites you hard on the hand - expect a major quarrel, followed by financial losses;
A dog chases a person and, having caught up, bites his leg - to a scandal with relatives;
A weak bite without blood or pain means a quarrel with your loved one;
A dog attacks and gnaws the dreamer to death - to a serious enmity with once close people, former friends or a loved one.

It should be noted that for people in whose house a dog has died, dreams are typical in which they see the image of their four-legged friend. Such dreams also have their own meanings:

The pet is joyful, wagging its tail, fawning - good news;
The four-legged friend is scared, whines pitifully, hides - a warning. Some kind of threat is hanging over you;
Your deceased dog appears in a dream as a small puppy - your four-legged pet is saying goodbye to you.

According to the Psychological Dream Book, if after the death of your pet you dream again and again that the animal is dying, at the moment it is simply difficult for you to cope with the loss of the dog. It takes time to cope with this undoubtedly difficult loss.

Freud's Dream Book - Dog

Who else but Sigmund Freud delved into the depths of the human subconscious as much as possible. In his characteristic manner, Freud explained the meaning of any dream by the desire to satisfy one’s desires, including sexual ones, and therefore many interpretations of dreams are of an erotic nature.

The German psychoanalyst considered the dog a symbol of the child.

If you beat a dog or mock him, then you have a clear desire and inclination to have sexual relations with children. Be careful!

A hunting dog means an active sex life and the absence of any worries about the possible conception of a child. Most often, men dream of such a dog.

But if you are a parent and you dreamed that you were walking your dog, then you are faced with the problem of “fathers and sons”, you do not understand your child and are lost in your thoughts, not noticing his aspirations. In the future, this may lead to a deterioration in your relationship with your child. If you stroke and caress the dog, then you care too much about your child, perhaps you should give him more freedom.

Pet's appearance

In a dream, a lot depends on how the dog looked. The appearance of a dog in dreams can mean even more than its actions and behavior. Try to remember everything in great detail: what the animal looked like, what its color was, size, breed, features. The more details, the more interpretations there will be.

Size

You probably remember this. The scale of events depends on the size of the dreamed animal. For example, a small but angry and barking dog means that you are in vain attaching importance to small and funny problems.

And if the dog is small and kind, sweet, affectionate, perhaps this is advice for you to learn to enjoy the little things, and also to notice people around you who treat you very well. Perhaps there is a devoted friend nearby, and you downplay his importance in your life. Very in vain!

Big Dog - big events, or your too serious attitude towards them. For example, if an animal threatens, attacks or even bites you, this is a symbol that someone or something nearby may pose a serious threat. You should be careful - perhaps there is an enemy or ill-wishers who want to do harm in some way.

On the contrary, if a big dog behaves friendly in a dream, wags its tail and generally shows goodwill, you can count on the most pleasant and very large-scale event in reality. It is quite possible that you will meet a very important person in your life. Perhaps you will make a new friend, and he will play a very important role in your life. Be that as it may, a big good plus in a dream is a sign of something very good that awaits you.

Color

Pay attention to what color the dog was in your dream. The color of the dog, its coloring is very important, and the outcome of the interpretation may depend on these details.

White dog

A white dog is a very good sign. It doesn’t matter at all what this animal did in your dream. Its white color already says it all. For an unmarried girl, such dreams foreshadow great strong love and early marriage. For a married lady, a white dog in a dream is a symbol of stability and the fact that a new period of love, prosperity, mutual understanding and prosperity will begin in her family.

For business people, this dream promises great success in business, a successful turn of events, fortune and all the best things. In a word, if you dreamed of a white dog, expect all the most wonderful things and don’t worry about anything.

Black Dog

The black dog, on the contrary, is a symbol of danger and perhaps even symbolizes enemies. If the black dog was large, be careful. Perhaps difficulties await you in work, in business, in social life. It is likely that you will have to fight with competitors, ill-wishers, and an opponent. Perhaps life has prepared some tests for you, but you must pass them with dignity.

If the black dog was small, then this could mean two things.

The first is that minor troubles arise on your way that can irritate and distract you, but cannot harm you in any way. Try not to attach importance to them and focus on what is really important to you.
There is a second option. A small black dog may indicate that in reality you are paying too much attention to something insignificant. There may be some minor difficulties, but you are exaggerating them too much. Such a dream tells you that you need to learn to be simpler, ignore everything that does not deserve your attention, and more often pay attention to pleasant and good things.

Ginger dog

But a red dog always means those people we love. This is probably the image of your lover, husband, boyfriend or girlfriend. But what this dream promises will be suggested by the events and behavior of the dog.

If everything was fine in the dream, and the animal behaved kindly, then everything will be fine in reality. If the dog behaved aggressively, try to be more attentive to your other half in reality. You can prevent quarrels in advance if you show wisdom and patience.

Breed of dog

Of course, you shouldn’t ignore the breed of the dog you saw in your dream. If you remember what breed the dog was, take this into account and get a more detailed interpretation.

The dachshund is a wonderful sign. If you see a dachshund, no matter how big or small, expect good news at work. Good luck finally awaits you, and all difficulties will soon end.
Husky is not only a wonderful breed, but also an excellent symbol in dreams. The interpretation of a dream involving a husky is very good: you will have communication or cooperation with nice people, and everything will end with an excellent project and unique ideas.
An interesting symbol is the Labradorite. Such a dream suggests that a breakthrough in your work, a new solid position, a promotion or a new project awaits you. What you dreamed of at work will soon come true!
A German Shepherd in dreams is a reliable, loyal friend in reality. The dream reminds you that there are people nearby who are always ready to help, and you should not neglect their help!
The Rottweiler in dreams symbolizes change. Dream books advise not to forget that change is always for the better, even if it is experienced with difficulty and stress.

Interpretation of the image of a dog according to Nostradamus’ dream book

The great predictor of the past also had his own opinion on this matter. However, he went his own way and got a little involved in politics and science, while describing dreams that few people can come to in their entire life.

So, if a dog negotiates with a whale, this is a symbol of establishing world balance with the help of some new deadly weapon. The dog and whale here apparently symbolize world powers.

A man in the form of a dog in a dream is a snowman in reality. These could be scientific discoveries or any mention of him.

A dog with a snake signifies the conclusion of a very productive alliance between states.

What principles and observations Nostradamus was guided by remains a mystery. Apparently these were the events following his dreams.

Other sleep options

What does a dog mean according to Aesop's dream book?

Aesop is a legendary ancient Greek fabulist. This is what he thought about the appearance of a dog in a dream.

The dog is a symbol of your friends, which means that its behavior predicts their corresponding actions. If a dog is kind, cuddles up to you, protects you, or shows his devotion, then one of your friends will do the same. When a dog barks, bites, attacks you - expect intrigues, betrayal and envy that accompany any success.

When you see in a dream several dogs fighting over a piece of meat, then you will soon have the opportunity to encounter a greedy and stingy person, perhaps someone you know. In this case, it is better not to be greedy.

If you see a dog dying from a snake bite, then the snake in this case symbolizes you. You do not value your friends and will probably resort to betrayal, which you will very much regret in the future.

Dog - Medea's dream book

According to Medea's dream book, a dog is a symbol of uncertainty. She can show contradictory qualities, such as aggressiveness and loyalty to her master, anger and friendliness. Therefore, if the dog is sleeping or does not show itself in any way, and you cannot judge his character, then this is a clear sign of uncertainty and unpredictability of the situation. You may need the ability to make quick decisions depending on her development.

A dog that bites you portends troubles and quarrels. Also, such a dream may directly indicate some kind of illness related to the site of the bite.

An affectionate, friendly dog will bring support and attention from friends.

Other meanings of dreams with a dog

It should be noted that there are several different interpretations of the image of a dog seen in a dream. The interpretation also depends on the gender and age of the dreamer, as well as on the specific dream book, since each author of these publications has his own method for determining the meaning of a dream. We recommend paying attention to the following dream books:

Female;
Male;
Children's;
Small Velesov dream book;
Miller's Dream Interpretation Dictionary of Dreams.

Let's consider the interpretation of the image of a dog in each of them.

An indifferent dog is a sign of stability in a child’s relationship with his friends;
A dog that comes into the house means guests;

Mad dog - a friend will soon get sick or a strong enemy will appear. At the same time, beating a mad dog in a dream means visiting guests;
Black dog - you will meet a friend or an enemy, depending on the behavior of the dog. A red animal is a dishonest person, a white one is prosperity;

According to Miller's dream book

According to the interpretation of the dream book by Gustav Hindman Miller, a practicing psychoanalyst and somnologist, dreams with the presence of an image of a dog are interpreted as follows:

An angry yard dog - to failure and treachery on the part of enemies;
An affectionate dog means unexpected good news;
If a girl dreams of cute little dogs, the words of her admirer are insincere;
Growling or barking behind one's back - unsightly gossip is being spread about the dreamer in order to discredit his good name;

A dog kills a snake - a good friend will come to the rescue in a difficult situation;

A white, friendly dog circling around the dreamer in a dream is a sign of great success with the opposite sex.

Dream Interpretation - an angry, big dog in a dream

Why else do you dream about a dog? What does a big dog mean in a dream, good or evil? In any dream book, an angry dog portends some kind of trouble. It can mean betrayal by friends, possible problems with strangers or colleagues, as well as unfavorable circumstances that do not depend on the person (illness, death, bankruptcy).

But a big dog can have different interpretations depending on its mood, behavior and physical condition. But a big dog always symbolizes what is above us, over which we have no control. A calm and majestic big dog in a dream will bring you in reality the patronage and support of your superiors or some strong personality, perhaps even higher supernatural forces. If a dog is sick or aggressive, then the larger its size, the more illnesses and troubles it portends.

The main meaning of sleep

Many psychologists explain the image of a dog as a desire for warm and friendly relationships. In a dream, such an animal can symbolize a quick reward for work or diligence. Most often, with the help of dreams, the human subconscious gets in touch. But not all dreams are a reflection of reality.

Often they foreshadow something that awaits us in the future or even warn about some events.

A dog can be a symbol of trusting relationships with your friends. An angry dog may be a reflection of your attempts to resolve a difficult conflict situation.

A dream with a purebred dog can foretell imminent wealth. A deeper interpretation depends on the appearance and behavior of the animal. For a girl, such a dream may foretell a quick acquaintance with her future husband.

If a married woman dreams of a dog with puppies, then this is a symbol of harmonious relationships in the family.

A dog in a dream biting, attacking, barking - interpretation

Such actions on the part of dogs are usually precursors to unpleasant situations in various areas of your life.

Each compiler of dream books gives dogs their own symbolism: children, friends, political events, or yourself. And accordingly, aggression on the part of a dog can mean betrayal, intrigue and envy on the part of your loved ones; war or natural disasters. Sometimes in a dream you resist a dog, you can kill or drive it away. In this case, the dream is favorable, even though it carries bad news, because you will withstand the fight against your enemies with dignity.

Universal dream book

The dog is a symbol of fidelity, but also speaks of the manifestation of instincts: maternal, sexual or self-preservation. A friendly, affectionate dog in a dream indicates that we do not suppress our instincts, but we also do not follow their lead. In addition, it promises good luck and true friends. If she behaves aggressively, perhaps we are either afraid of the manifestation of our instincts, or we are slaves to them. Besides, a dog is a friend. A dog barking at you may be a friend who is angry with you. But a dog rushing at you from a gateway in a dream clearly indicates an unexpectedly appearing enemy or unexpected trouble. If the dog is familiar to you, this indicates the source of the trouble. An excellent pedigree for your dog will most likely mean that you have inflated claims in relation to life or career. A bloodhound running on your trail means either an enemy chasing you or a friend who is looking for you. If you were bitten by a dog, then this means an insult received from a friend. A skinny, hungry, homeless dog can indicate illness and distress among friends or troubles in your personal life. If your friend works with you in business, then the image of a skinny, big dog may indicate troubles and illness of this particular friend. A dog show indicates your ambitions and claims. Seeing yourself as a dog owner in a dream means success; This is the personification of the fact that you control yourself, control the situation. Also, a dog in a dream can be a harbinger of the appearance of a new partner or girlfriend, and this can apply to both professional and personal life. The color of the dog is of great importance when interpreting this dream. Dark dogs dream of relationships that will proceed rather stormily, but as a result you will be satisfied with them. If you dreamed of a completely white dog, then in real life you can always count on the help of your close friend.

Black, white, red dog - dream book

The color of the dog, as well as its behavior and mood, show the direction of the events that it predicts.

White color is a symbol of positive development of the situation. A white dog will bring good luck and happiness to your home. If a white dog behaves aggressively, then this may mean quarrels with your loved ones, but such quarrels that arise due to misunderstanding and always end in reconciliation.

Black coloring portends negativity. As a rule, black dogs dream of various troubles and troubles. If she behaves calmly and friendly, then perhaps this is just flattery and hatred hidden behind smiles on the part of your friends, which in the future can turn into a disaster.

But many dream book authors have completely different opinions about the red dog. It can predict both the appearance of an intimate partner in your life and an angry, envious person.

Dream Interpretation - dead, deceased dog in a dream

A dying or sick dog brings misfortune to the house. It can portend death or a serious illness, both yours and someone close to you.

Sometimes it can symbolize a great betrayal that will knock you down, but also a betrayal on your part towards your friends and loved ones.

However, a dog killed in a dream can also bring positive changes. So, if you deal with the negative character of your dream, that is, an angry, attacking or rabid dog, then you can just as easily deal with the problems that come to your home, which are symbolized by the negative behavior of animals in a dream.

On hands

The desire to care and patronize a loved one.

On road

If it lies across, then the burden of a serious offense; if he runs towards you and blocks the road, it means trouble in the service.

In water

Changes in fate that determine the future.

Loff's Dream Book

Dogs can symbolize both true friends and worst enemies. A dog in a dream is a confirmation of a reliable and trusting relationship between you and your friend. Wild Dog is an attempt to resolve a seemingly intractable conflict. (Of course, in both cases, your dream may just be a repetition of a life situation with a dog - evil or kind). Do you want someone who is unreasonably harassing you to stop harassing you? Is there a person in your life whose loyalty you doubt or whose loyalty is deliberately emphasized?
