Dream Interpretation: Dog

The dog has been humanity's loyal companion for millennia – in life as in dreams. It stands for loyalty, protection, and trust in relationships. As a dream symbol, it can also embody your own instinct, your inner sense for what feels right and what doesn't.

A friendly, playful dog in a dream often mirrors deep bond, friendship, or the need for companionship. An aggressive or threatening dog, on the other hand, can point to conflicts in relationships or suggest that you feel pressured by someone – or a part of yourself. A stray dog sometimes tells of feelings of abandonment or a longing for belonging.

Which person in your life connects you with the feeling of unconditional loyalty – and do you give yourself this feeling too?
