Do you ever dream about your pet? Dreams about your dog, cat, horse or iguana usually symbolize your ability to nurture yourself. After all, we take care of these beloved creatures, so in our dreams, they represent the vulnerable parts of ourselves that need to be cared for.
Most important, pay attention to what's happening to your pet in the dream. Is it in trouble? Are you trying to protect it from harm? If so, ask yourself if some vulnerable part of you is feeling threatened. Perhaps your job is stressful, or you're having problems with your kid or partner that's taking its toll on your peace of mind. You probably need to take some time for yourself to recharge and get centered. In other words, nurture yourself.
Get control
Dreaming about a pet can also reveal how disciplined you are. If your pet is running wild, check to see if you're undisciplined in some part of your life. Is your eating or drinking out of control? Are you falling behind on your bills because of spending sprees? Is your workspace a disaster? Animals are instinctual symbols, and you need to use your intellect to control (not eliminate) your instincts if they're running your life. It's all about balance, after all.
A dream...
Sharon offers a great example of wayward instincts. She says she sometimes dreams of trying to catch her husky, Angie, who is running around loose. These dreams baffled Sharon, until she realized that she usually dreamed about her dog being loose when she over-ate the day before. The dreams were telling her that her instincts, symbolized by Angie, were out of control and causing her to binge on the wrong foods.
Psychic conncetion
Perhaps the most intriguing kind of pet dreams are those that reveal our psychic connections to our pets. This is especially true if you dream of a beloved animal that has died, because the souls of our animal companions can visit us in dreams. These dreams can be incredibly reassuring that our pets, and the love we shared with them, do indeed live on in the afterlife.
A dream...
David tells of a lucid dream he had of his deceased malamute, Shawnee, that is just as vivid now as when he had the dream years ago. At the time, David was devastated by the death of Shawnee from cancer. About a month after the loss, he had a psychic dream about his beloved dog that helped to heal his grief.
In the middle of a regular dream, I suddenly realize I'm dreaming! My greatest desire is to visit Shawnee, so I lift off in a rush of flight, calling her name. A moment later I land on a vast farm surrounded by mountains. Several other dogs are about, including one who looks like Shawnee's friend, Beau. Looking around, I see a man entering a farmhouse several yards away, but I don't see my dog. Then, in the distance near the mountains, I see a small white speck running toward me - there she is! I joyfully throw my arms around her and we run together for awhile. When we stop, I reach down and take her face in my hands and ask her why she had cancer. The dream fades before I receive an answer. I awaken, knowing this dream is a tremendous gift.
Dreams about our pets can offer insights about our inner lives, including the need to nurture ourselves. And perhaps most important, they remind us of the power of love, which never dies.
