writes:I had a dream that's too bizarre to discuss with anyone I know, and I hope that someone in this audience could interpret. I hate to think of what the dream implies, but I think that the true meaning of the dream is deeper than the obvious implication. I dreamed I was a dog! Not the sexiest dream, I know. I have no idea what KIND of dog I was, and I don't even know if that's relevant, but I remember that I was some kind of guard breed. I remember that I was very large, and black and very fierce (I'm NOT afraid of ANY dog, so this is a bit counterintuitive). Most importantly, I dreamed that I was guarding something really valuable, possibly a treasure. In the dream, other girls (no one specifically that I know) came close to the treasure and I would growl and snarl at them to back off and they would become very afraid and run away. But boys would come up and pet me, and instead of biting, I would let them. I've read about dream interpretation and understand that the meaning of dreams is subjective to the dreamer. I love dogs (there are a few breeds I don't like) and there is absolutely no breed that I am the least bit scared of. I have been missing my own dog, a beautiful German Shepherd mix, lately, but I don't think that's it. My dog that I have now is a pet, not a guard, and while I love her enough to die for her, I don't think this dream was connected to her. When I was a kid, we DID have a very similar dog, that protected our home. Does this dream represent nostalgia for my childhood? Reply to this Question

 The meaning of dogs in dreams is often related to your body and sexual instincts ( the " animal " part of yourself ). As well as to the necessity of protecting your wellbeing and your territory.
So it could mean that , while you want men to " pet your dog " , i.e. to take an interest in you as a sexual being and awaken your wild, instinctual self- you feel in competition with the other females that you perceive as rivals who threaten your " territory ".
Do you happen to feel a bit insecure about your attractiveness and sexyness ? Do you compare unfavourably yourself to other women ?
