Seeing an old, thin, sick dog in a dream, according to dream books, promises household troubles and breakdowns in the house. For women, the dreamed vision reminds of household chores that the dreamer abandoned or lost sight of.
A sick dog seen in a dream reflects the emotional imbalance of the sleeping person, a pre-depressive state, the cause of which may be obvious problems of friends or close people taken to heart. If in a dream a four-legged animal has a black color, it means that the experience is associated with betrayal or unworthy behavior of a friend.
For people involved in entrepreneurship, a thin, sick dog portends difficult times in business, stagnation or collapse of previously conceived plans. If it is black, it means that all this comes from the hand of a close friend, companion or business partner.
According to the Big Dream Book, what you dream of about an old sick dog, small in size, promises disappointment in reality. It is likely that the goals you set earlier will be in jeopardy or will lose relevance for you.
Biting your leg
Don’t know how to interpret night dreams? Refer to the dream book. If a dog bites your leg and it doesn’t hurt, what could such a vision mean? Soon one of your friends or relatives will get sick. A person can cause you a lot of trouble with his worries. But you can easily cope with all the problems and help your friend. The subconscious always warns the dreamer in advance about adversity. A person who sees an image of a sick dog should think about which of his friends has health problems. If you warn a person in time about the impending danger, you will help him avoid many problems.
Habits and behavior
Seeing an old or sick dog struggling to get up on its paws indicates unfinished business for loved ones, which the sleeping person will have to complete. Another interpretation of what such a picture means in a dream is related to the deterioration of the dreamer’s health. Perhaps chronic illnesses or accumulated fatigue will make themselves felt.
If you dreamed that a sick black dog was grinning or growling at you, it means that your friend’s problems will soon affect your interests. Perhaps, escaping from trouble, a friend will ask for your protection. Think carefully about your actions, since, most likely, the person will not fulfill his obligations and will blame the solution to the problematic issue on you.
If in a dream a pet is unwell and has some kind of illness in reality, then, according to the dream book, such a dream promises the recovery of the four-legged pet. To see a four-legged pet sick in a dream, when in real time it is in good health - take a close look at the animal.
Biting your hand
Did the animal behave aggressively in your night dreams? Does a dog bite your hand hurt? The dream book interprets such a dream as a conflict situation. You and one of your friends will soon disagree or have already disagreed on some issue. The conflict can turn out to be very serious, but it will not affect the friendship in any way. If the dog did not cause you any inconvenience in a dream, and you woke up with a calm heart, it means that the conflict can be resolved peacefully. If the dog bit your hand to the bone, and it was very painful for you, it means that you cannot avoid a quarrel with your friend. The subconscious mind warns that you need to be careful. Treat others with understanding and give each person the right to have their own opinion on a particular issue.
Does a dog bite your hand hurt? The dream book can interpret this image as financial losses. Soon the dreamer will have to spend money on purchasing something expensive. You should be prepared to spend money and set aside some money for a rainy day.
Animal interaction
If you dreamed that a sick dog was affectionately clinging to you, hiding its muzzle - beware of the treachery of people whom you consider your friends. Probably, communication with you is caused not only by sympathy, but also by the secret personal motives of these persons. In a dream, a dog barks at the dreamer - the dream book warns that someone will openly show hostility.
According to the interpretation of the General Dream Book, fattening a thin, sick dog foreshadows a situation in which you will drive yourself into a corner and appear to others in an unfavorable light. There is no need to follow the lead of people close to you and take on their obligations.
Another version of the explanation describing why such a plot is dreamed of is available in Vanga’s dream book. According to the soothsayer, the vision indicates that the dreamer is a serious and independent person who can be relied upon. This is why others love and respect you.
The explanations of dream books do not end there - there are several more interesting versions about why a dog dreams!
Miller's dream book: if a dog licks
According to Miller, if you dream that a dog is licking, you will be at a wedding ceremony, seeing distant relatives, making plans for the future. If you are lucky enough to see this symbol, there will be more than just an imminent wedding. According to Miller's publications, this is a reflection of a global change in human life. And in some situations, it can mean the imminent arrival of a child in the family.
Dogs, from Miller’s point of view, are a very significant symbol. Their regular appearance is especially fortunate; they are harbingers of good and positive changes. Sometimes they also represent the emergence of new partners and companions. With all this, Miller recommended being careful and not making hasty decisions.
