In most cities, dogs should be tied with ropes, and this reduces the risk of animals walking on the street and getting hit by a car, injured and dead. In the countryside, as in a farm, however, dogs often move freely.

Dogs symbolize obedience, loyalty, and intimate love. Psychologically, a dog is a symbol of love and commitment, on the one hand, is aggressiveness. Dogs protect their masters by attacking enemies. Dogs are considered the most faithful of human friends. Many people have a dog as a pet.

For dog owners, the dream in which a dog dies, it is considered a nightmare. However, even people who do not keep dogs in real life can also dream of this sort of thing. A dog can refer to our relationship and friendship. If in your dream that a dog dies, it is a sign that bond can be threatened. Dead dogs can also represent difficulties and problems, such as at work or in financial terms.

When you dream of a dead dog, the animal symbolizes parts of your life where you need emotional protection. They also express happiness and joy, because that is when you see a dog in a dream; you have to consider the type, size, color, and behavior, to be able to interpret it correctly.

Dreams of a Running Dog

A dream about a running dog could mean a myriad of things. It’s important to consider the entire mental scene: Is the dog running toward you? Away from you? Do you feel threatened by the dog?

“DREAMS ARE NOT RANDOM,” SAYS LOEWENBERG. “EVERY DETAIL MATTERS.”

A dog running toward you in a non-threatening manner could represent a new relationship in your life, says Loewenberg. While a dog running away from you could symbolize a relationship where you feel distance. It could also be telling you there’s a relationship in your life that you need to get out of ASAP.

Because many of us recognize that animals operate on a more instinctual level than humans, chasing a dog in your dreams could symbolize an unconscious urge that wants to materialize in your waking mind but can’t, says Muller.

“In the dream, I’m using my human brain and all of my faculties, but they’re not sufficient to catch that dog who’s operating on a primary survival level,” says Muller.

Dreaming of an Angry Dog

If you dream of a dog chasing or threatening you, it likely represents a situation in your life that makes you feel victimized, angry or powerless, says Loewenberg.

Dogs are territorial and have a pack mentality, says Muller. Are your boundaries in waking life being tested? Are there any pack leader-like figures who make you feel nervous or threatened?

Dreaming of angry dogs could also represent a risk you’re afraid to take, or the feeling you’re wandering into unknown territory in some aspect of your waking life, she says.

Dreaming About Dogs You Know

Not only can dogs symbolize relationships and situations in our lives, they can also represent us.

“Everything in your dream is really symbolic of you or something about you,” says Loewenberg.

Dreaming of a current or past pet, or any familiar dog, may represent who you were when the dog was part of your life, says Loewenberg. For example, if you dream of a dog who ran away when you were a kid, leaving you feeling abandoned, it could represent the fact you’re feeling lonely in your current waking life.

One of the most common questions Muller gets asked as a dream interpreter is if dreaming of a pet who has passed is the animal’s way of saying hello.
