The death of a dog can be a real tragedy for its owner, both in real life and in a dream. Dream books interpret such a plot in a negative way. However, it all depends on the details seen. To understand why you dream about the death of a dog, you need to remember the color of the coat, and also remember in your memory the circumstances under which it happened and what the actions and emotions were in the dream and after waking up.
What does this dream mean?
Animals seen in dreams are usually considered protectors or guides to other worlds. Dreams in which they pass away are always of great interest. Deciphering a dream in which a dog dies in a dream (dream books indicate this fact) can be quite difficult. In order to correctly interpret this dream, you should take into account many important details:
- The dreamer's feelings.
- Did this dog belong to him or not?
- The cause of death of the animal.
- Did the dreamer or a stranger kill the dog?
- Size and color of the dog.
Dogs, being loyal and friendly animals, have always been associated with close people and established relationships. Therefore, such a dream (the dog died) often signals that strong ties may suddenly break off.
Freud's interpretation
Sigmund Freud said that if you dream about a dead dog, it is not a good sign. A dog, playful and cheerful, represents a child, a pure soul and its death in a dream, symbolizes problems and strong shocks, stress.
Therefore, advice from a psychologist is to treat yourself to something pleasant, because there is already little light in your world. On the other hand, such a vision may indicate real problems for the dreamer’s children, troubles and illnesses, so show maximum attention to their affairs and lives.
I dreamed about my own dog
A beloved pet that is no longer in this world indicates that long-standing friendship is not in danger. Seeing a dog dying in its kennel in a dream means betrayal of loved ones. A dog whose wound is bleeding symbolizes the bad deed of a relative.
A puppy attacked by dogs or wolves foreshadows bureaucratic litigation that would be better resolved peacefully. A dog who dies in the dreamer’s bed means divorce and division of property. Holding a four-legged pet in your arms means that a person whom the dreamer completely trusts can become the initiator of a quarrel.
For a representative of the fair sex, seeing a dying dog in a dream is good - the relationship with a former lover can resume. If the girl does not repeat her previous mistakes and accepts the young man for who he is, their relationship will develop well.
A man often dreams of a dying or deceased dog before betrayal. He should pay close attention to the behavior of his significant other and friends; there is a possibility of his lady’s betrayal or interruption of friendly relations.
Death of a dog - general interpretation of a dream
The death of your pet in a dream is often a warning for the future - a lack of vigilance can cause things to worsen at work or problems in personal areas. To avoid serious losses, you need to devote maximum time to completing existing tasks and not take on new large projects in the near future.
Seeing your dog old and dead is a sign of positive changes in life that will happen without your participation. A dying puppy indicates that the sleeper will be able to get rid of long-standing illusions, identify traitors and complete long-standing affairs. This will help you start a new stage in life, reconsider your surroundings or take up your favorite hobby.
If the pet died a peaceful death, problems in life will be resolved quickly and without much loss. If a four-legged friend wriggled in agony or whined loudly in pain before death, one of the relatives will become very ill or even die.
Pulling a dead pet on a leash means wasting most of your energy on unnecessary things.
Image of a dog
In dream books, the meaning of a dog’s death differs depending on the color of the animal:
- A pet with red fur indicates a desire to get rid of constraining circumstances - the dreamer subconsciously wants to change his life. To avoid feelings of dissatisfaction and realize your potential, it is recommended to change jobs, travel, or end a relationship that is no longer enjoyable.
- A black dog warns of a conflict situation with a friend - this person will set you up for his own benefit. Due to the end of a long friendship, he will experience suffering and a lack of faith in people for a long time.
- A dog with a white color symbolizes the sleeper’s refusal of love or friendship for reasons known only to him. It is recommended to take your time and think carefully about the current situation - perhaps, due to far-fetched fears, the dreamer will make a terrible mistake, and will then greatly regret his actions.
Seeing a dying dog of an unnatural color in a dream means alternating white and black stripes in life. In the near future, it is necessary to avoid adventurous transactions, rash financial investments or extreme recreation.
A huge dead dog in a dream symbolizes big problems, the solution to which will be helped by an experienced and wise person who comes to the rescue in time.
If the image of a small pet appears in a dream, this indicates a lack of self-confidence. To achieve your goals, you need to learn to be assertive and overcome your inhibitions.
Why does he die?
The cause of the dog’s death also affects the interpretation of night vision:
- A pet was hit and killed by a car - there will be problems with the law. If at the time of the dream the sleeper is involved in some kind of legal proceedings, the decision will not be made in his favor.
- Dreaming of a barely alive dog on the bed is a bad sign, indicating an imminent divorce, as well as the division of property between former spouses or relatives. At the end of the dispute, the dreamer will receive practically nothing.
- An animal that dies of illness in the arms of its owner dreams of great suffering due to the loss of a loved one. It is recommended to experience the loss with friends and family members, otherwise there is a high risk of prolonged depression and deterioration in well-being.
- To dream of strangling a pet means in reality to commit an unpleasant act that will be condemned by the people around you. The dreamer may be the subject of ridicule or condemnation from other people for a long time.
- To fatally wound a dog with a pistol is to disregard moral principles in order to achieve the goal. This will help the sleeper achieve what he wants, however, it will cause a deterioration in relationships with family members.
- A drowned pet in a dream means things at work will worsen due to the rash actions of your partners. Businessmen are advised to intervene in the final decision of the transaction - this will help avoid large losses and even complete ruin.
- A pet who died due to a serious illness prophesies that there is no need to take on new projects in the near future - they will not bring profit or recognition. This time should be spent on friends and relatives - due to being too busy at work, you risk moving away from loved ones.
A dog dying from beatings dreams of facing serious problems at work due to the dreamer’s mistake. Such an offense can put an end to further career growth.
A revived dog symbolizes the solution to other people's problems, on which the dreamer will spend a lot of time and effort, but will not receive due gratitude. If a reborn animal attacks a sleeping person and tries to bite him, an envious person will appear in the immediate environment, capable of creating a lot of problems.
Familiar dog
Seeing a dead familiar dog on your doorstep means that its owner in real life is in a difficult situation and needs your help. By helping this person, you will forever find in him a faithful and devoted comrade.
To dream of losing a friend's dog, which will subsequently die, means serious disagreements in reality that arose due to an incorrect interpretation of the dreamer's actions. You will probably groundlessly accuse a close friend of betrayal or your significant other of infidelity.
