A dog has always been considered a man’s friend, so it is not surprising that the murder of a four-legged creature seen in a dream evokes sad emotions, especially if the animal dies at your hands. To find out the meaning of this dream and understand what it means kill a dog in a dream, you should consult dream books.
Killing a dog in a dream
A dog is a man’s friend and, naturally, the dream of killing this devoted animal will not leave anyone indifferent. Especially if it was done by you. To interpret such a dream, you should look into the dream book, and, at the same time, do not forget about the important details of the dream.
If in a dream you had to commit this terrible act, defending yourself from a mad dog, then this means that intrigues and gossip are being woven against you.
And this is done by a close person or relative. As the dream book interprets, killing a dog means that you will cope with all the obstacles awaiting you.
It is also important to pay attention to what this fight was like. If it turned out to be fast and the victory was easy, then in real life you will easily cope with the troubles that come your way.
If the dog was calm and its killing was cold-blooded, then such a dream does not bode well.
A dark streak will come in your life, it is possible that your mood will be greatly spoiled, and it is possible that, for a number of reasons, depression may occur.
This dream also means that through your fault a person close to you will suffer or there will be a quarrel with your significant other, which quite possibly will lead to a break in the relationship.
Miller's Dream Book
A dog is a symbol of a close, faithful, devoted friend. Dogs have long lived among people, helping to protect settlements from wild animals and evil people. It is from this point of view that Mr. Miller approaches decoding. A four-legged friend, as a rule, talks about something good: support in difficult times, timely warning, comfortable relationships, and the like. Another thing is a dead dog. Miller's dream book is sure that this image portends trouble. If you just saw a dead dog, you will lose confidence and calm. People will turn away from you, refuse to understand and support you. This is a symbol of mistakes made out of a selfish desire to be the best, to get the most delicious piece. According to this dream book, killing a dog in a dream with your own hands means becoming the initiator of a serious conflict in a friendly circle. By defending your opinion, you will not spare the feelings of a person who has done nothing but good to you. He will be justifiably offended. It will be very difficult, almost impossible, to restore the relationship if you do not realize in time that you are attacking the poor fellow in vain. The dream warns against rash words and actions. Killing a mad dog, on the contrary, is good. The plot foreshadows the identification of a traitor, gossip, liar among close friends.
What is important to consider
Also, the interpretation of a dream depends on the method and weapon of murder.
- If the animal was strangled with bare hands, then such a dream means that the problem will not be easy to solve. You will have to put a lot of effort into this, but in the end you will definitely cope with it.
- Drowning in water means that difficulties that will initially be small will begin to grow and this will be your fault.
- Stabbing a dog with a knife. Such a dream foreshadows getting rid of competitors, enemies and ill-wishers. Also, such a dream may mean that you will soon have an increase in money.
- To beat with a stick speaks of an imminent illness. Depending on how difficult the fight with the animal was in the dream, how difficult the disease will progress.
- The dog was shot with a gun or pistol, this means excessive self-confidence. If there were misfires or simply didn’t hit the dog, it means that such self-confidence will let you down and will be more of a disadvantage for you than it will add any advantages.
From the above, it becomes clear that killing a dog in a dream is an open betrayal and a difficult fight against it.
Near and dear people will deceive and betray you, but you will cope with it and be able to survive. You will only be left with an unpleasant aftertaste from what happened, which will remind you for a long time that you cannot trust people without looking back.
Determining why you dream of killing a dog is not always easy; there are some nuances that can affect the interpretation of the dream:
- whether the dog was killed by you personally or you just watched the fight from the side;
- what she looked like;
- during the fight, the dog bit or not;
- if she bit, was there a lot of blood;
- the dog was alone or there was an attack by a whole pack.
Interpretation of popular dream books
Among the literature on dream interpretation one can find many works by world-famous masters. But why do you dream about a dead dog? Their opinions differ. This is due to the duality of the image of a pet. In the West, it is a faithful guard and friend of man, while in Eastern culture it is an unclean animal.
Decoding from dream books:
- Miller. Here the meaning of sleep is negative. A dead four-legged friend promises troubles and adversity. The person will lose peace, confidence in himself and those around him. Friends and loved ones may turn away and betray. Murder symbolizes a rash step taken for selfish reasons. Trying to jump higher than everyone else, the dreamer risks getting involved in an insoluble conflict and losing the trust and support of loved ones.
- The lunar dream book offers many multi-valued interpretations. It all depends on the appearance of the pet. The destruction of a white dog is a gloomy harbinger of a terrible mistake. Protection from an evil black dog - getting rid of enemies and troubles. If harm is caused to a skinny and sick animal - excessive pride and contempt for people.
- The Eastern dream book interprets the image of a dog as an enemy, so dreams of killing them are considered a good sign. They promise victory over an opponent, a reduction in life's problems and recovery.
- The interpretation of the family dream book is more negative; such dreams mean the beginning of a dark streak. You can expect discord and scandals in the family, as well as a complete misunderstanding of relatives and friends.
- Zhou Gong gives dogs supernatural powers of foreseeing the future. By killing his pet in a dream, a person deprives himself of intuition and subtle perception of the world around him.
Do not forget that each dream requires individual interpretation. The personal attitude of the sleeper towards dogs plays an important role.
Seeing a dog being killed
If in a dream you are attacked by a dog and your loved one, protecting you, kills it, then it becomes clear that your significant other will do anything to protect you from harm.
It will also support you in all your troubles and help you get through your darkest streak in life.
If a stranger killed an enraged pet, then at a difficult moment for you, someone from whom you did not expect help will help. Well, in the case of a dream where this role was performed well or by an unfamiliar person, then try not to lose touch with this person.
It is quite possible that, having overcome some difficulties together, you will become close friends.
Appearance of the dog
Killing an old dog in a dream means coping with a serious illness. The same interpretation applies to a dream in which you see and kill a skinny and slaughtered animal.

A stray dog in a dream and its murder foreshadows your imminent bankruptcy. It is best to be careful during this period in business and avoid unnecessary waste. And, quite possibly, you will be able to save your situation.
Why you dream of killing a dog also depends on its color.
A white and clean pet means your friend or loved one.
Black is an ill-wisher who hides his motives for the time being and always smiles sweetly at you.
A red dog is a harbinger of betrayal, the appearance of a rival or rival in your personal life. Killing any of these dogs in a dream means how your relationship with this person will develop in real life.
To dream that you were attacked by a three-headed dog means that in the near future you should not take on several things at the same time. It’s better to deal with each of them in turn or ask for help.
If this does happen, such a dream means that you will not be able to cope with many goals and will not complete most of the tasks and obligations you have undertaken. Be careful in making decisions.
Dog bite
A dream in which you were bitten by a dog means that more than one person will be angry with you. In the near future you will have to resolve a conflict with several people.
Each dog bite means how difficult it will be to cope with this problem and resolve the conflict peacefully and without unnecessary intrigue.
If there was a lot of blood during the bite, such a dream means a complication in an already existing situation, but if you didn’t see any blood, you can rest assured that troubles will pass you by.
Russian dream book
The dog signifies friendliness and brotherhood. Stories in which an animal dies are interpreted negatively here. If you yourself killed a dog, it means that your dissatisfaction and tendency to indiscriminate criticism are creating problems for others. People are simply tired of listening to constant accusations and moaning. They will try to avoid you so as not to receive unnecessary negativity. If you don't change your behavior, you will remain alone. To kill a dog means to lose friendly warmth and support. Sleep is good only for egoists who do not understand why people value communication so much and strive for it.
Uneven fight
A terrible dream in which a pack of dogs attacks you definitely does not bode well. You should be alert and very attentive. It is quite possible that they will want to replace you at work or even set you up.
You shouldn’t trust people you don’t know well, and you should also be wary of a stab in the back from a loved one. Killing the entire pack or several of its members in a dream and dispersing the rest means that you will cope with this current difficult situation and emerge victorious.
