Tips for Interpreting Your Dog Dreams
The key to dream interpretation is detail. There are many possible meanings behind seeing a dog in your dreams, so try to remember as much as you can about your dream to add greater context.
Did you see the dog inside or outside? Was it at a distance away from you, or was it close by? Were you being chased by a dog in a dream? Was it malnourished or healthy? Was it a house pet or wild animal? Try to remember as much as you can about the dog, including the environment surrounding you and the animal.
You should also consider smaller symbols within your dreams. Note any pictures on the walls, smaller creatures and animals, language, numbers, and colors. These seemingly minor details can piece together a more coherent meaning for you.
Lastly, we recommend writing down what you remember before attempting to interpret your dream. This practice helps prevent your biases from interfering with your memory.
