Dog can be as a symbol of happiness and joy, if the dreamer knows dog as the pet from his childhood. In this case very often dog stands for happy memories and playful experiences. Otherwise, the meaning of the dog refers to what is known for a man and symbolizes the possibility of the loyalty and unconditional love.

Quality of the dreamer – If in the dream about dog, the dreamer is aware that it is of the specific dog breed or it is a dog with specific characteristics such as the speed of a greyhound or the protectiveness of a rottweiler, a mastiff or a boxer, or even the aggressiveness of a sharpei, a pit bull terrier, or a staffordshire, and so on, then this special gift of the dog refers to the quality, which must be attributed to the dreamer and also this quality is in the need for the further development. Only with this quality the dreamer will be able to evolve as whole personality. And then he can continue to focus on his plans or specific goal. His efforts will be rewarded with great success for sure.

Expression after suppression or aggression – Other significance in the interpretation of dog relates with impulses and instincts, especially sexual, and feelings. Dreaming of dog brings attention to the dreamer’s own attitudes about his mental and physical health. If in waking life this correlation makes sense, then such dream is the expression of strong suppressed psychical and physical contents in the dreamer’s life. Perhaps the dream is the warning too, that warns about being very critical and suggests to release your emotions or to fulfill your desires. In other hand, but it is very unusual, dog can be a warning against being too much aggressive (more often dreaming of wolf has this meaning).

Guide for self-realization – Sometimes dog appears in the sleep as a guide through the world of the unconsciousness and calls for self-realization, for complete fulfillment of one’s own potential.

Aggressive behavior or strength – In broader sense most common symbolism of dog is same as the animal. These dreams’ symbols embody the aggressive masculine sexuality and show power of the dreamer.

• Bite or howl means threat – In the dream to see or to hear howling dog is bad sign. Also, dreaming of biting dog is bad omen too. Hearing of howling dog is interpreted as a general warning of serious danger. To be bitten by dog can be interpreted as more direct danger against the dreamer;
• Chase means risk – Dreaming of chasing dog shows a superficial, frivolous attitude with a tendency to risky adventures (especially sexual). To be chased by dogs also can be interpreted as being chased by your own shady habits and questionable actions. More dogs – more doubts. If others were chased in the dream, then it means that risky persons around you. Being able to run away from dog or dogs means hope and possible bright future;
• Play means victory – In the dream to play with your dog or to see happy and playful dogs means that you will overcome your opponents. If someone else is playing with dog, he will be lucky too. If this person isn’t friendly with you, then this dream is a message to be more patient and careful in order to overcome your enemies;

But dreaming of such foretells that you have revealed the dark side of someone who is close to you and now you’re in good position, because of the ability to see true intentions. If you see a lot of black dogs, means that there might be more than one traitor;
• Barking, arguing or quarreling dogs means family’s problems – In the dream to see or to hear that several dogs are barking on each other, between them, shows family feud or also it can mean dispute with your partner or quarrel in the family.

Psychological Meanings:

Protector and aggressor – The dog in the dream must be always considered in the connection of two opposite meanings, because it has two different symbolism. On the one hand he is a friend and protector of the people and a guard of the property, on the other hand, he is an attacker of his master’s enemies and because of that gets a clear symbolism of aggression in the interpretation of the dream.

Understanding and releasing emotions – When the dream is about a pack of wild dogs, then this represents feelings, that are confronting with fears. It is very possible that the dreamer has worries about his emotions or impulses or maybe he even hide something deep inside under the pressure, but that need to be in the release.

Fear of sexual or primal desires – The sexual significance of dogs in the dream is very strong, because of their true nature and their character. Dogs are performing sexual acts in public without any restriction and therefore dog is considered as a symbol of unrestrained activity of the human. So, dreaming of dog symbolizes things or actions, that you dare to do mostly hidden, and subconscious is calling to act more bravely and without anxiety. In other words dogs symbolize primal instincts and basic desires of the human life and these are always associated with a confusion or fear, that might arise, if one as the dog carry out primitive behavior.

Attacking & biting dogs meanings

For man means envy – Biting dogs in the dream of a man indicates jealousy. Being bitten by vicious dog means being targeted by jealous people. To see in the dream that dog bites someone else shows that this person is a victim or a source of envy.

For woman means overrated freedom – Biting dogs in the dream of a woman, denotes that she is assessed fairly unrestrained. The dream about biting dogs does not mean that she also lives like that. It means that there only exists the assessment for lack of restraint.
