I dreamed of a dog I used to have.

Grief, and the unconditional thing you had with them. Let it be about that.

A dog was guarding a door.

Something is protecting an opportunity from you until you are ready. Ask what the dog wanted.

Dreaming of dog

A dog is loyalty and protection — a relationship you can rely on, or the part of you that guards what matters. An aggressive dog is loyalty turned into fear; a lost dog is a bond you are afraid of losing.

Common meanings

01
Loyalty: a friend, partner or family member the dream is checking on.
02
Protection and instinct — the guard that knows a threat before you do.
03
Companionship you want more of, if the dog was a stranger who chose you.

The emotional angle

Warmth, usually. Fear of a dog in a dream is often fear of someone’s loyalty being tested — including your own.

What it may be asking of you

Dog dreams point at relationship work. Ask who the dog was, if it was someone, and what protection you have been providing or missing.

Tonight’s intention

I keep faith with what keeps faith with me.

Questions people ask

Loyalty betrayed, or a boundary you crossed with someone who trusted you. Note whose dog it was.

Dreamed of dog last night?

A dictionary reads the word. The decoder reads your dream — where it was, who was there, what you felt.
