Dog Attack Dream

Dog Attack Dream

Dream meaning dog attacking you

Dogs are a direct descendant of the gray wolf. Like the gray wolf, some dogs attack. Dogs are wild. Dogs attack. Dogs bite. Similar to wolves. Every so often in life you will encounter a hidden "wolf" in life. Whether they come as a friend. Come as a boss. Come as a lover. Or come as a family member. You will encounter the wolf. The liers. The enemy in life. The secret gossiper. The person who never likes your social media but watches. The one that does not like it if you succeed. The lady that steals your lover. The man that fakes he likes you. And, when you do come up against someone don't fear. Dog attacks in dreams are no different from wolves.

Your spirit team is forcing you to be present in the moment and make sure you know who is for you - its time to put your own full self in alignment. To heal. To forget things. To stop with the messy thoughts. Think of the biblical saying "sheep in wolf clothing" in the bible God sent out the sheep among wolves. (Matthew 7:15-23, Part 2) you have been sent out to realize those around you that are not for you.

Sheep have lots of wool they find it hard to sometimes run away. Do you find it hard to run away from people that hurt you? Sheep can't run fast when being attacked. Therefore, sometimes you have to face the wolf. Just like maybe you had to face the dog attack in the dream. If you are constantly in trauma you cannot think straight, this dream has come because it is time. Time to realize that people can't treat you badly anymore. Time to move forward. Time to heal. Time for you. Time to not fake it. Time to stand up for what you believe. Time for justice. And, time for your own self worth.

What did Sigmund Freud say about pet dreams?

Sigmund Freud was a famous dream psychologist in the 1930s. He is most famous in our Western world, calling all dreams the “royal road to our unconscious”. For him, dreams were an expression of what our conscious mind. In simpler words, he actually believed that our unconscious mind is able to understand what our conscious mind can’t at the moment. Following his logic, the hidden perspective of the psychological problems of seeing pets in a dream represents our own comfort.

Freud himself considered animals in dreams to be a unique and beautiful class of dreams. When you dream of animals, you need to ask yourself, is the animal representing you? Animals represent instincts in dreams. The word “instinct” comes from the Latin word “instinctus”, meaning something from the inside. Etymologically, the term represents the animal faculty of intuitive view. However, people prefer to leave their instincts aside when making an important decision because they believe that instincts are rather dangerous and threatening. This is wrong because we need to use our instincts in order to feel passion, power, and sensitivity. Our instincts are the guidance we need to make the right thing in life.

According to Carl Jung, our instincts are a far better protection than all the intellectual wisdom in the world. Meaning, instincts can protect us from dangers, not the opposite.  The “dog attack” enters our dreams as the dog is there to remind us to use our instincts in dreams. Our instincts are masked in animals in our dreams to remind us that we need to review our relationships.
