Spiritual Meaning:
A dog symbolizes the guardian of the underworld. In Egyptian mythology this is depicted by Anubis, the dog-headed god, who guided the souls of the dead to the underworld – our most secret part.

Psychological / Emotional Perspective:
To dream of a pack of wild dogs portrays emotions and feelings of which we are afraid. To be chased by a black dog suggests a fear of depression.

Everyday Material Aspects:
Dreaming of a dog depends on whether it is one known to us (such as a childhood pet), when it then may represent happy memories;  if unknown it may signify the qualities of loyalty and unconditional love associated with dogs.
