Dream Meaning: Dogs
Updated
Dreams about dogs are commonly interpreted as loyalty, friendship and protection. Dream symbols are personal — the emotion you felt in the dream matters more than the symbol itself.
Common interpretation
Most dream dictionaries and psychologists who work with dreams read dogs as loyalty, friendship and protection. Recurring dreams tend to fade once the waking-life issue is addressed.
Ask yourself
Who is loyal to me, or to whom am I loyal? Write the answer down within a few minutes of waking — dream memory fades fast.
