General meaning of the symbol
Since ancient times, the dog has been a human's assistant and bodyguard. Therefore, often, seen in a dream, it is a warning about some imminent event. If you interpret the dream correctly, you can predict many events in life. An animal you see in a dream will tell you who is a friend and who is an enemy, and how to behave in different situations.
Dog character
To correctly understand the meaning of a dream, you need to remember which animal was in the dream, good or evil:
- to see a kind dog in a dream means that you will soon meet an old acquaintance who will tell the person good news;
- if the dog is angry, it means that he will soon defeat his enemy.
Dog character
A dog is not always affectionate and kind; sometimes the animal behaves aggressively . Such dreams have a certain interpretation. If the dreamer pets an evil dog, he will have a meeting with an ill-wisher. How this meeting will end is still unknown, but the fact that the person was petting an aggressive animal speaks of his advantage over the enemy.
An aggressive animal did not accept affection and bit an outstretched hand - the dreamer should reconsider his life priorities. To cope with problems, you need to radically change yourself and your life in general. Mad dogs in a dream represent the dreamer's enemies. Such a night vision suggests that a person will have to endure shame or humiliation due to an unfair accusation.
Petting a kind dog in a dream is a good sign. Fate will favor the sleeper. In the near future, an old acquaintance will bring good news that will positively affect the dreamer’s entire future life.
Dreamer's emotions
Depending on the feeling with which a person stroked an animal in a dream, different outcomes are possible:
- Petted with tenderness - romantic adventures await.
- If you have experienced joy and satisfaction, you must boldly implement the decision you have been thinking about lately.
- If you feel disgusted when stroking - don’t be upset, this means good money.
- Pity - support will come soon.
- If you haven’t experienced any emotions, it means a promotion is coming.
Emotional background
The meaning of a dream in which you pet a dog depends on the emotional coloring of the dream:
- The pleasure of stroking a pet indicates the correctness of a recently made decision. If you need to make a choice in a difficult situation, you should act immediately, listening to the call of your heart.
- Feeling pity for an animal in a dream means you can count on support from colleagues, friends and loved ones.
- A surge of tenderness towards the four-legged creature predicts a quick acquaintance with a person of the opposite sex and romantic adventures.
- A feeling of disgust speaks of a “dirty business” upcoming in the near future, which will allow you to make good money.
In the absence of any emotions during contact with the dog, there is a high probability of promotion on the career ladder or positive changes in fate.
What color was the pet?
To accurately interpret a dream, it is important to remember what color the animal’s fur was:
- If white, then this is a sign of great luck and joy. For an unmarried girl, such a dream foreshadows an early meeting with her soulmate.
- If the fur was red, then new love will appear in the person of an old acquaintance. Therefore, it is worth paying attention to those who are nearby and then you can understand who the dream is talking about. For men, red hair portends lucrative business contracts and good relationships in the team.
- If the wool was black, surprisingly, the enemy will soon recognize authority and become a good friend.
- If the color was uneven and consisted of several colors, then in the near future you can expect a monetary replenishment.
- The dog's brown fur indicates that one of his friends needs help and support.
A collar was worn
Since ancient times, merchants sent their day's earnings home in a dog's collar, and they themselves went to the tavern. Naturally, the dogs were fighting and powerful; to reach into the wallet of such a guard meant losing an arm.
- Seeing a powerful combat collar in a dream means big profits through hard work.
- A fashionable modern collar - easy money for your home. The newer and more beautiful it is in your dream, the easier money awaits you.
- Accordingly, the dream book states: the more old-fashioned the collar, the more hard work you will get the money.
In any case, a collar on a dog, according to the dream book, means money.
Whose dog
It is important to remember whose dog the sleeping person was petting in his dream. Perhaps in reality he does not have a dog, but in a dream it is quite possible to be its owner. This situation predicts new acquaintances and making new friends. If there was someone else’s dog in the dream, you still have to wait for new meetings and acquaintances.
Important! For a woman getting married, petting someone else's dog in a dream is a very good sign. This means that her marriage will be successful and she made the right choice.
Pregnant dog and puppies
A pregnant dog dreams of happiness and peace of mind. According to popular dream books, a dog that gives birth in a dream foretells successful results of work related to people and a team.
A dog that has given birth promises a fateful meeting for lonely people: for a woman it is a love relationship with a younger person, for the childless it is a new addition to the family, for the rest it is the attainment of spiritual harmony.
Puppies dream of unexpected surprises, as well as troubles and undertakings without benefit for themselves. Picking up an abandoned dog means the need to perform an altruistic act soon.
Patting a dog on the head
If in a dream a person strokes a dog on the head, this indicates that in reality he is far-sighted and prudent. Such a person is used to realistically assessing the state of things, seeing his prospects and can increase them.

Petting a small dog in a dream
Seeing a small dog in a dream, that is, stroking such a dog, usually means worries, worries, and troubles.
Usually interpretation means a number of different meanings:
- caressing a tiny animal means an endless stream of vanity;
- if you see a puppy, then it portends kindness and love for someone. It is possible that to a spouse or lover;
- when you dreamed of petting a dog of dwarf breeds, for example, a small poodle, terrier or spitz: friends remember the person;
- seeing a small dog lying sadly and not responding to affection means the failure of romantic plans;
- if a tiny animal expressed joy when it was stroked, but was tied, then the dream promises a quarrel and refusal of sympathy;
- Various interpretations explain why petting a small dog. If you dream that a small dog was not only petted, but also given something tasty, then the vision promises reconciliation with old rivals, but also further peace without quarrels.
The size of the dog in general is of considerable importance, because petting a large dog always dreams of victories on the love front. If a person has already found a family, then the dream promises large cash flows.
Therefore, unlike small breeds, petting, for example, a Great Dane or a Shepherd means receiving significant help from friendly people. However, when a large animal expresses hostility in response, you should take a closer look at your surroundings. Most likely, the person mistook the enemy for a friend.
Tsvetkov
When asked why a woman dreams of dogs, Tsvetkov advised paying attention to the height and breed of the dog. However, his interpretation of the dream is very similar to Miller’s explanation. According to Tsvetkov, a dream in which large breeds appear also speaks of the help of friends.
Petting a decorative dog - the dream book says that this is a sign of fun. The girl will soon be at the party and have a great time. In addition, a pleasant surprise awaits the young lady in the form of a long-awaited and desired meeting with a person from the past. However, such a date will lead nowhere. Therefore, the lady can hardly expect serious changes in life.
Black Dog
Seeing in a dream - petting a black dog - means good changes in life. More precisely, this means that the sleeper (sleeping) will be able to turn some of his enemies into his true friends.
If a large black dog attacks the dreamer, tries to growl and bite her, this can be explained as the fact that the lady pays a meager amount of attention to her family (husband, children and parents). In addition, she herself may be aggressive towards her family, and there may be various reasons for this. Having seen something like this, you definitely need to become kinder to your loved ones.
Condition of the animal
Dreams can be scary but actually have a favorable reading. Anyone who stroked a dead dog in a dream should not worry. In the near future, the problem that has been worrying for a long time will be successfully resolved, and things will go smoothly. Everything will go well both at work and in your personal life.
If the dreamer’s dog has already died, but in the dream it appeared alive and healthy, it means that his old friend will return to the person. The meeting will be very warm and fun . You should also pay attention to the age of the dog:
- an adult dog portends success in business.
- an old animal symbolizes reliability and financial well-being.
- petting a puppy in a dream - this can be a dream about making new friends who will bring a lot of joy.
