Losing a dog in a dream is a very unpleasant experience. Especially impressionable people can remember the details of such a dream for a long time. They will digest what they saw again and again. A lost friend means oppressive anxiety, heartbreak and loss of mental balance. This condition can portend serious troubles. What do proven dream books say?
Miller's version: no more attraction
The famous dream interpreter argued that losing a dog in a dream means losing contact with some person. If the animal was kind and affectionate, then in reality you will lose a close and faithful friend. If the dog in the dream was irritated and angry, then in reality you will have a break with a friend who had a bad influence on you.
Interestingly, the size of the dog also influences the meaning of the dream. If the pet was small, it means you will lose touch with a friend who was indifferent to you. If you dreamed about your pet covered in blood, it means that in the future you are in danger of parting with a blood relative.
Animal coat color
In accordance with the interpretation of dream books, the color of the pet that disappeared in your night vision also plays an important role in the correct interpretation of a dream. At the very beginning, remember that the loss of a pet is parting with a friend, the loss of someone close to you.
It is important to take into account not only the color of the animal, but also its breed, and even if this issue is not important for the owner, it plays a special role in the interpretation of sleep. If the dog is wild and mongrel, this is an indication of an unresolved problem and it will not be easy for you to find a way out of it.
But a purebred dog and its loss in a dream is an indication that your life will soon change for the better. Of course, problems will still appear on your way, because the dog has run away, and material expenses are possible. But you will overcome everything - you can do it. In this case, it is worth paying special attention to the animal’s fur and how long it is. The longer it is, the greater the losses will be, so you should pay maximum attention. And if you do everything wisely, troubles will pass you by.
Interpretation of the White Mage: Mission at Risk
This dream book has its own interpretation of why you can lose a dog in a dream. The specialist strongly recommends that you never ignore such a dream. It can say a lot. The dog has disappeared from sight and, no matter how hard you try, you cannot find it? This is certainly a symbol of bereavement. But don’t rush to get upset! This dream can symbolize hope. True, under one condition: the pet must certainly be found. Losing a dog in a dream and not finding it means unpleasant and even tragic consequences.

Interpretation of Pastor Loff: an optimistic forecast
This interpreter is full of optimism. He claims that losing a dog in a dream means that all hopes and plans will come true. True, for success to be 100 percent, you still need to find a pet. If you succeed almost immediately, happiness is just around the corner. Otherwise, the implementation of the plan will have to wait until better times. However, this is not a problem either! Believe in success, and a solution will certainly be found. That is, a dog will inevitably be found in a dream! If the dog ran away from you on its own in a dream, then you should reconsider your attitude towards life. The end does not always justify the means. Find another way and everything will be fine!
Women's dream book: bitter disappointment
This source provides a clear answer to why you dream of losing a dog in a dream and not finding it. For a woman, such a dream is a harbinger of bitter failure, deep disappointment.

Suit matters: possible options
So, you happened to lose a dog in a dream. What is this for? It turns out that a lot depends on the color of the pet. Many interpreters have come to this conclusion, so we will not dispute it. Let’s just note that the interpretations are quite predictable:
- the loss of a white dog means parting with a good friend;
- the loss of a black pet means a break with the pretender, who was so convincing that you clung to the relationship with him to the last;

A dream in which the sleeper lost his dog
Why do you dream about losing a dog? If you had to carefully search for the dog, this shows the sleeping person’s solution methods: he is used to solving everything with outside help from friends or relatives. In addition, you need to take into account many other elements of the dream that will help give the correct explanation.
Doggie color
Suit plays an important role in interpretation:
- The white puppy symbolizes the best friend. The loss of a dog of this color in a dream promises the loss of the best and most faithful person. The sleeper should think about his actions and decisions.
- The loss of a black dog symbolizes obsessive friendship coming from the dreamer. He should think carefully about whether he needs to bother a person.
- The red color of a missing pet becomes a harbinger of a quarrel between lovers. It won't be a major quarrel, but there will be disagreements.
- The gray color of the lost dog is a symbol of a person unnecessary to the sleeping person.
Dog size
The size of the animal represents the closeness of the relationship. In such a dream, the larger the dog, the closer the person who will have to be lost in reality.
Pet age
Such an element means similarity in age to the real person illustrated by the dog in the dream. The search for an adult four-legged animal shows that it is worth taking a closer look at your older relatives, with whom the sleeper has a close relationship.
How many doggies were there?
A large number of lost dogs can indicate both a breakdown in relationships with a large group of close friends and separation from a closest friend.
Lost Pet Breed
This detail illustrates more specific events to expect and the people involved:
- Decorative dogs are a symbol of close and good friends.
- Guard breeds represent close people who are ready to rush to the aid of the sleeping person at any moment.
- Hunting and hound dogs are a positive sign if the person sleeping in reality has them. It is a symbol of monetary gain and good luck. But if the dreamer does not have such a breed, he should be more careful with the people around him - selfish and vile people have appeared around him.
Negative interpretation: expect a quarrel
Interpreters look for the answer to the question of why one dreams of losing a dog in a dream in the depths of the human subconscious. And they often come to the right conclusions. After all, the images that appear in dreams are not born in our imagination by chance. Most often, we ourselves know what the consequences of our actions will lead to. We just can’t openly admit it to ourselves. A dog in a dream can symbolize a friend or an enemy, depending on the situation. The dreamer is advised to pay attention to her behavior. If she behaves friendly, she symbolizes a pleasant person. Perhaps this is your close friend, a break with whom does not bode well. It turns out that in the near future you are in danger of a quarrel with a very important person for you. Relationships can deteriorate either with a good friend or with a blood relative. If in a dream a large black dog ran away from you, then in the future you will defeat your enemy. Feel free to enter into confrontation - you will surely emerge victorious.
Why dream of losing a dog: interpretation of the dream
The dog is a well-known symbol of friendship and devoted love. Therefore, a dream about the loss of an animal can represent alienation in relationships with loved ones.
In the dream book of the Italian psychotherapist Antonio Meneghetti, dreams about dogs are interpreted from the point of view of dominance and submission. It is believed that they indicate relationships between blood and emotionally closely related people, in which one person takes a dominant, protective position in relation to the other, protects and at the same time suppresses the partner’s personality.
Thus, the loss of a large dog in a dream most likely warns of the loss of support from a high-ranking and influential person. If a small dog or puppy rubs itself, a deterioration in the relationship with a child or subordinate is expected. According to Miller’s dream book, the loss of a small dog in a dream is seen as a sign of liberation from minor worries, troubles, and vanity. According to the dream book of the famous Austrian psychiatrist Sigmund Fred, a runaway dog is dreamed of when a child begins to live separately from his parents.
Note! Dogs in a dream can serve as a symbol not only of people with the appropriate character, but also of the personal traits of the sleeping person.
The dog personifies such positive qualities as vigilance, courage, sincerity, and phenomenal instincts. Therefore, according to Medea’s dream book, losing a dog in a dream means for the dreamer to show weakness, to lose the necessary caution and prudence in business.
What does a dog's breed mean?
What can you say about what it means to lose a dog in a dream? For a true dog lover, it does not matter at all what breed his pet is. It’s a different matter in a dream: here the pedigree of the animal can play a role. For example, a wild dog may indicate an unresolved problem. Moreover, finding an approach to the current situation will not be easy. After such a dream, you urgently need to analyze your behavior in your personal and public life. Are you treating your significant other poorly? Perhaps she is suffering from your inattention? Or do you have to sacrifice a lot for your career? Maybe the people around you are suffering from your activity? Look around! This will allow you to make the right decision and get out of a confusing situation. However, a wild dog in a dream is a reason to think seriously. This means that the situation may soon become completely uncontrollable.
A purebred dog in a dream is a sign that a white streak will soon come in your life. No, misunderstandings will inevitably appear in your life, because the pet was lost in the dream. Therefore, you may face bankruptcy or demotion. Moreover, interpreters strongly advise paying attention to the length of the animal’s fur. If it is long, then material losses will be significant. Therefore, if you dreamed of a dream on the eve of a major transaction, then, for obvious reasons, it is better to postpone it. However, if you are careful, troubles will still pass you by. And there will be a light of hope ahead.

The dog is missing: interpretation for young maidens
What can a proven dream book advise young girls? Losing a dog in a dream means a short marriage. If the sleeping woman is about to get married and sees such a dream, then she is asked to think: is the game worth the candle? Perhaps her chosen one is an unreliable person. Or maybe she herself doesn’t have strong feelings for him. In a word, the girl needs to weigh everything carefully again and make the right decision. If a young lady dreamed that her pet ran away after mongrels, it means that in reality she will be bothered by rumors and gossip. However, a dream about a lost dog can also have a positive meaning. If a girl is annoyed by complex and confusing relationships, then now she can be calm: very soon she will lose touch with the person who has bothered her. Moreover, a new relationship awaits her.
Professional difficulties
For business people, losing a small dog in a dream means minor troubles in business. If you dreamed that the dog was constantly grinning and nervously looking around, it means that a very unpleasant person will soon disappear from the sleeper’s environment. For a dreamer who has suffered greatly from squabbles and gossip, this news will be very pleasant. In addition, the dream tells him that soon his good name and reputation will be completely restored.
Sometimes people dream about a multi-headed animal. If in a dream it disappears from sight, it means that in reality a person will be delivered from vanity. Litigation, preparation for a noisy celebration, real estate transactions and other troublesome enterprises will be successfully completed. However, if the dreamer’s professional activity is associated with active work, then this dream speaks of the loss of a job or the closure of an enterprise.
Breed value
The breed of the dog is also important. If the sleeper lost a mongrel stray dog in a dream, this may mean problems in his life that are quite difficult to resolve. To find a way out of the situation, the dreamer should remember how he behaves in public and personal life. Perhaps his loved one is suffering from inattention or bad attitude.
Perhaps, in order to achieve success in his career, the dreamer sacrifices something important.
If you dream of a purebred dog, a white streak will soon come in a person’s life. But since the dog is lost, problems cannot be avoided: the dreamer will face material losses.

But if a person begins to behave more carefully, notices and avoids obstacles in time, then a streak of luck awaits him.
Truth or lie?
Dreaming about losing a dog can symbolize someone's good or bad intentions. This usually concerns recently received information. If a sleeping person dreams of a dog with white fur, it means that the promised help will not come soon. And no matter how much they assure you that they will certainly support you, don’t believe it. Deal with your problems on your own.
Black fur on a lost dog symbolizes a dirty lie. Have you received negative information about someone close to you? The dream indicates ordinary gossip that has nothing to do with the truth.
Interpretation of dreams from various sources
Experts in the field of neurophysiology and esotericism interpret dream images in different ways.
Important! We must try to analyze the details of the situation we saw. This will help you choose the most accurate interpretation of the symbols.
Miller's Dream Book
Miller's dream book considers several situations with the appearance of dogs in the dreams of a sleeping person. If a person hears a growl behind him, but does not see the source of the sound, such an image warns of impending provocations. Somewhere in the environment an ill-wisher has appeared who is secretly weaving intrigues and turning people against the dreamer.
When observing a two-headed creature of the canine family, you should not be afraid. This is a reminder that you shouldn't take on two things at once. Such activity will not bring success in both events. We saw that the dog was aggressive and tried to attack - failures in the personal or business sphere. Someone is very angry and is preparing a plan for revenge.
Note! At first glance, an unpleasant image does not always portend danger. It is worth remembering the details for a more accurate interpretation.
The dog you met was affectionate and friendly, which means success lies ahead. Friends or someone close to you will present a pleasant surprise. Probably a new interesting acquaintance.
Attributes in a dream
Details are of great importance when interpreting a dream. For example, you should pay attention to the leash. Losing a dog in a dream in a foreign city because it broke free and ran away with the leash is a sign of impending danger. The sleeper needs to be extremely careful. Soon certain events in life will make him lose control of the situation. If the dreamer has a piece of wiring left in his hands, it means he needs to be extremely careful about requests from people around him. You should not burden yourself with new loans. It is also better to postpone transactions and other financial transactions. Vouching for other people before credit structures is not at all recommended. Surely this person will disappear forever, and the sleeper will have to pay off his debts.
Symbol of devotion
Since ancient times, the dog has been considered a symbol of devotion. Therefore, losing her in a dream means feeling the pain of an irreparable loss, feeling vulnerable and unhappy. Almost all interpreters agree that losing and then regaining a four-legged friend in a dream means overcoming all obstacles in reality. The sleeper will find the desired peace of mind, make peace with friends and relatives, and be successful in business.
However, it is not recommended to see a stray dog in a dream. She herself is a symbol of financial losses and damages. The dreamer may well lose everything he has acquired through backbreaking labor. Therefore, the sooner such an animal disappears from sight, the better.
Looking for a lost dog in a dream means finding the desired compromise. Most likely, the dreamer is tired of constant disagreements and is looking for reconciliation. How successful he will be depends on the details of the dream. They can be very diverse. And only the sleeper can understand their hidden meaning.
