Dreams About Dogs

What do dreams about dogs mean?

To dream of a vicious dog, denotes enemies and unalterable misfortune. To dream that a dog fondles you, indicates great gain and constant friends. To dream of owning a dog with fine qualities, denotes that you will be possessed of solid wealth. To dream that a blood-hound is tracking you, you are likely to fall into some temptation, in which there is much danger of your downfall. To dream of small dogs, indicates that your thoughts and chief pleasures are of a frivolous order. To dream of dogs biting you, foretells for you a quarrelsome companion either in marriage or business. Lean, filthy dogs, indicate failure in business, also sickness among children. To dream of a dog-show, is indicative of many and varied favors from fortune. To hear the barking of dogs, foretells news of a depressing nature. Difficulties are more than likely to follow. To see dogs on the chase of foxes, and other large game, denotes an unusual briskness in all affairs. To see fancy pet dogs, signifies a love of show, and that the owner is selfish and narrow. For a young woman, this dream foretells a fop for a sweetheart. To feel much fright upon seeing a large mastiff, denotes that you will experience inconvenience because of efforts to rise above mediocrity. If a woman dreams this, she will marry a wise and humane man. To hear the growling and snarling of dogs, indicates that you are at the mercy of designing people, and you will be afflicted with unpleasant home surroundings. To hear the lonely baying of a dog, foretells a death or a long separation from friends. To hear dogs growling and fighting, portends that you will be overcome by your enemies, and your life will be filled with depression. To see dogs and cats seemingly on friendly terms, and suddenly turning on each other, showing their teeth and a general fight ensuing, you will meet with disaster in love and worldly pursuits, unless you succeed in quelling the row. If you dream of a friendly white dog approaching you, it portends for you a victorious engagement whether in business or love. For a woman, this is an omen of an early marriage. To dream of a many-headed dog, you are trying to maintain too many branches of business at one time. Success always comes with concentration of energies. A man who wishes to succeed in anything should be warned by this dream. To dream of a mad dog, your most strenuous efforts will not bring desired results, and fatal disease may be clutching at your vitals. If a mad dog succeeds in biting you, it is a sign that you or some loved one is on the verge of insanity, and a deplorable tragedy may occur. To dream of traveling alone, with a dog following you, foretells stanch friends and successful undertakings. To dream of dogs swimming, indicates for you an easy stretch to happiness and fortune. To dream that a dog kills a cat in your presence, is significant of profitable dealings and some unexpected pleasure. For a dog to kill a snake in your presence, is an omen of good luck

I just woke up from a dream that a little green dog was following me, I didn't want it to follow me really running around by my leg, but then it turned into a swan and swam gracefully and I thought it looked really cool. If anyone knows what the hell this means, send meaning to

Hello, any comment would be appreciated... (I am not dreaming)For the past 2 1/2 weeks now when ever I go outside of my home I keep finding white poodle mix dogs, I would of nothad made any reference to anything being wrong but it is always those type of dogs I find. The first came to me and allowed me to put a leash on it and I took it to a shelter and the next would only come as far as 2 feet of me but allowed me to give him water then he just walked off. I need a lil input why I keep finding strays but only of this kind?

I currently own a Dog who is 3/4 White German Shepherd and 1/4 Timber Wolf. I had a dream last night that my dog and I were traveling alone on on a dirt road that went through a forest. All of a sudden he went missing and I started to freak out and was frantically searching for hitowns calling out his name but to no avail. Then I woke up. In my dream I never found my dog. I was scared when I woke up, then felt better once I saw my dog sleeping on the floor on his bed safe and sound. What does this dream mean?

I had a dream I found a small nice dog then ended up in a field with a friend (who was the reason for finding the dog) and another person lookin at this big massive black deer. The dog ran around the deer and chased it towards us to where the deer tried to run us down a few times but there was a fence to help protect us but the deer was still able to break through it at the same time. No one was hurt

Sandy @ 2012-02-26 21:27:08
This is the third time I have had this dream. first of all It's a big dog not sure of the breed. I cross a fence and this guy has a dog he says he is very playful but this dog keeps putting my right hand in it's mouth, I press down on it's mouth hoping it will let go but it doesn't and it is hurting really bad and it keeps chewing my fingers then my hand. any input would be great if any :) sdu826@aol.com dream of dog

i dreamt that me and some friends got on a train and these hippies had a rockvilla(sorry about the wrong spelling, but black and brown dog) which was calm. They had a mini pig that was running around and a grey dog with black streaks in which had red eyes. He was running up and down the carriage biting people but they were not moving and didn't seem to be bothered about it. He was barking as well.
Me and my friend were so scared that we got of the train cause it was barking at us and putting his front paws on us.

I woke up with quite a fright. Can anyone help with meaning of this?

my dog died yesterday very bad death and my 5 year had a dream that he was sitting on the other side of the rainbow looking at it with her what does that mean

kenshelle Washington @ 2012-03-23 17:16:24
I had this dream that my mother gave me a mastiff dog. This dog was really big and didn't like me at all. He would try to rush me all the time, and I was so scared of this dog. Then one day I was upset and started to cry. The dog came in my room and put his body on me, like he was protecting me. For some reason this dream really got my attention. I looked it up on the web and couldn't believe what i read. My dream means i would marry a kind and intelligent man. Hope this dream meaning comes true....

tabatha @ 2012-03-26 07:48:57
I woke from a very unusual dream...do not have this type of dog nor have i ever known a dog of this type. dream was me lying in bed as i do with my own Lhasa Opso dog at the foot of the bed. was trying to fall asleep in the dream. heard noise downstairs thought it was our old radiators dismissed it. shortly there after a black and tan rottweiler dog appeared at the side of my bed slight show of teeth no growl or biting. i reached out and put my hand to pet over the dogs head and ears then i woke up.

Aggressively growling at me but I somehow managed to bypass them without getting bitten, I was in a backyard some were and there were other people around as well...I then carried on straight to the end of the backyard were I saw a small dog that wasn't aggressive at all. I was scared at first but then it came closer and my fear left me. I picked it up and it climbed to the top of my left shoulder were it stood easily balanced it was like this dog could read my thoughts...and the rest of the people kept saying "look at how that dog is sitting on his shoulder" can anyone tell me what this strange dream means?

I dreamt of being on a plane, but the plane was badly damaged, the floor of the plane was ready to give way, while the left side of the plane was missing. Standing beside me was a little white dog. I lifted the dog up and held him close in my left arm in-case he’d fell out of the plane. I hung on tight with my right hand to support strap.
We landed safely and as I walked away from the plane and was glad to get of it, I forgot about the dog and went back from him.
Can anyone explain what this dream means? I can’t stop thinking about it..!
