Dreams are a part of our mind and thoughts that occur when we are in a semi-conscious state of sleep or fully asleep. They have long been a source of mystery and fascination, as through the realms of dreams, we can perhaps unveil our future or uncover some hidden messages that can shed light on our past, present, or future.
Definition of Dreams
Vedic Astrology guides us through the interpretation of dreams, giving us a unique perspective of the symbols or emotions and helping us understand how we connect with them. Planetary energies, too, influence our dreams, as their alignment at the time of our birth can give insights into the messages in the dreams.
Dreams can unveil past-life memories, karmic patterns, and unresolved past-life experiences that can impact our present and future. They can also allow glimpses into the future with hints at upcoming events or choices that can shape our destiny.
Our dreams can be varied—about people, places, or situations—and sometimes bizarre, so it becomes difficult to remember or interpret them. Let's see how dreaming about animals impacts us. Dogs, for example, are one of the best-loved animals, and seeing them in our dreams is a positive indication.
Dreams of Dogs
Dreaming of dogs can be meaningful, and there could be variations. It can be intuitive, trustworthy, or aggressive. Seeing a happy dog in our dreams tells us about a situation that can emanate joy, balance, and peace. However, if the dog appears to be aggressive, it can indicate a negative situation of anger, mistrust, fear, and lack of freedom. This situation can create discomfort or sadness.
Scenarios of Doggy Dreams
Dogs can appear in different scenarios in our dreams. Our four-legged friends are so active that we most likely see them in motion. Here are some instances that can happen in our dreams.
A Dog Chasing You
This is a reality for some people. A dog chasing you in a dream is possible, but it is no cause for alarm. Instead, it gives you happy indications and symbolises love, probably by the opposite gender. If there is someone you love, then this dream is a validation of that love. Even if it is not the case, there is the possibility of someone loving you. So, it is a pleasant dream that holds joyous hope.
Dog Trying to Bite You
Having a dream where a dog is trying to attack you or bite you can be a warning of impending danger. It could signify trouble or concerns associated with your physical surroundings. It could be an indication that you should be alert and aware of your surroundings. You may need to be serious, take control of your life, and ensure you stay safe. It could also mean you have an internal battle with someone close to you.
Black Dog Biting You
Black is associated with something dark, and seeing a black dog in your dreams can signify something negative. Getting bitten by a dog in your dream could indicate resisting change and allowing for personal growth.
The dog attack could indicate your fear, worry, distrust or anxiety about something or someone. Dogs are the most loyal beings, and a dog in your dream symbolises someone you trust in your waking life. However, that individual may not have the same trust in you, or their behaviour could hurt you. You may feel anger or frustration, manifesting as a dog biting you in your dream.
The dream could be situational, indicating that there is someone in your life with a darker side you are unaware of. It could be a family member or a friend. It could also indicate that someone is untrustworthy in your life. Sometimes, it can be interpreted as your feeling of unease towards your friend's behaviour, causing him pain in the future.
Dreams of Dog Biting Your Hand
Hands symbolise creativity and are the primary tools for working or creating something. While your right hand represents the masculine side of strength, acceptance and activity, your left hand represents the feminine side of giving and generosity.
If you dream about a dog biting your right hand and not letting go, someone or something is blocking your creative mind and creating obstacles. A dog biting any hand can signify dominance by someone who influences you and perceives you as lacking strength. They can use negative remarks to hurt you.
Dreams of Dog Biting Your Leg
Legs symbolise motion, the act of moving forward and maintaining balance in life. A dog biting your leg can mean that something or someone is blocking your path and not allowing you to progress. The dream also indicates that some factors are preventing your success and self-confidence.
Dream of a Group of Dogs Attacking You
Do you have dreams of many dogs attacking you? If you do, it means you need to be very aware and check your surroundings. There may be a lot of problems lining up in your future, and you may need all the strength you can muster to face them.
This dream might be trying to tell you to pay attention to your subconscious mind and focus on your dominant side so that you can take control of situations and your life. More importantly, the dream may signify that it is time to change your thoughts and actions and garner strength and control.
In Vedic Astrology, dogs are believed to be the Vahana (Vehicle) of Bhairava, a manifestation of Shiva. They are a sign of fidelity and devotion. They are also perceived as the ones who guard the doorways to heaven and hell. In the Tihar festival, people worship the guard dog by applying Tilak on the forehead and offering a garland of marigold flowers.
In the epic Mahabharata, a dog follows the Pandavas, and finally, Yudhishthira approaches heaven with this dog. The traditional belief is that caring for dogs can guide you towards heaven. If you dream of a dog biting you, it could be associated with a mistake you might have committed, shown to you by your spirit guide.
Getting bitten by a dog can be unpleasant, but it can also help you focus on your dream and understand what message it is trying to convey. It may require you to turn around negativity and make room for more positive things in your life.
