Popular Dream Symbols

When dogs act viciously in dreams, they may take the form of a wolf or behave similarly. Because of the extreme injury a wolf can inflict, it can represent death, particularly in certain cultures. Children can also dream that their sisters or brothers turn into wolves when they're emotionally wounding them by treating them unkindly. On the flip side, pet dogs are loyal and protective, and similarly, children feel closely connected to them. So much so that they typically dream of them as getting hurt or going missing. In addition, animals have heightened physical abilities, so a child who dreams of a specific animal may wish to have certain abilities. For example dogs have acute hearing, so for example, if a child's dream focuses on that, perhaps that's an ability the kid desires.
