I find that a lot of my dreams contain dogs or sometimes wolves / werewolves (the latter I do like horror films so that may be why)
Thing is I don't own a dog at all, but I've had a few dreams where I have my own dog, usually I obtain it somehow i.e. sometimes it is a stray or it may be someone elses but it ends up with me. The dogs are all different each time I dream, generally friendly usually on their own but on odd occassions there has been more than one.
Oh, might add as well, sometimes I meet a very aggressive dog which involves it biting my hand or sometimes my fingers to the point where I have actually seen blood and lost fingers!!!
Just wondering what dogs tend to symbolise in general, they range from puppies to adult dogs and on very rare occassions they talk, but I don't find that unusual in my dreams.
Anyway, enough waffling, any suggestions?
RE: Dogs in dreams
I had to reply to this because, although it isn't exactly related, I keep dreaming about one dog in particular. It' the dog I grew up with and it's always so vivid. Nothing happens like you're talking about, but it does feel so intense and I always remember these dreams because they leave me feeling like the dog (Sam) has actaully been in the room. Do animals have spirits? I'd like to think so...
Coming back to your question. I don't think I can help, perhaps you have thought about getting a dog at some stage but at the same time have a subconscious fear of them. Somebody recently suggested that I keep a "dream diary" so that I might start to see patterns in my dreams and explain some things for myself. Might be an idea for you.
Hope you find some answers!!
RE: Dogs in dreams
I love animals, but in the last couple of years I've developed an allergy to cats and dogs for some unkown reason, so realistically I'll never be able to have them as pets and to be honest I wouldn't have the time to care for them. As an alternative in the last few years I've had hamsters and find I'm fine with them, plus they are very cute and cuddly (and wriggly)

Hi Gemma!
That's a shame about the allergy. I would definitely have a dog if I had time to look after it too. I do look forward to that cause they are such a great addition to any family!
Can't say I'm that fond of cats though, had some bad experiences...Hamsters are cute, I agree!
Hope your enjoying HP. I see you're relatively new like myself. I love your signature by the way. I remember when I he said this in the film, so true!
