Using psychology we find that "dogs" in dreams in our database link to the following real feelings(each quote represents the thoughts or emotions which triggered a real dream. Links to full dreams appear at the bottom of this page)

- "I keep thinking about a dog next door which is being maltreated."

- "I was thinking about my GROUP OF FRIENDS. I cannot tell if one of their behaviour was nasty or was merely banter."

- "I have been helping an illiterate man learn to read."

- "I live in a very CONSERVATIVE CULTURE which PRESSURISES people into forced marriages." (the pack of dogs pressurises in the same way)

- "I am getting these signals from a younger woman who is being very FRIENDLY."

- "I am upset because my grandma has just died. I am looking for support and help from PEOPLE CLOSE TO ME."

- "I believe this dream to be a premonition of my pet dog dying in real life."

- "I am trying to get ahead in life." (going with her dog perhaps links to a need for faith and familiar things around her in a new venture)

- "I have ruined an IMPORTANT RELATIONSHIP with some hasty actions."

- "I do not understand why such a GOOD RELATIONSHIP could break up. There were issues but nothing which could be sorted out."

- "I keep thinking about how bad my eyes are. I am going to need HELP AND PROTECTION from FRIENDS."

- "I have been promoted but have made some mistakes and my boss has been thinking how he has made the wrong choice."

- "I have an appointment which I am NERVOUS about. I hope it will go without any problems. I hope I get someone FRIENDLY who will deal with me.
