What Does Dog Mean in Dream Interpretation?

Dreaming of a dog means loyalty. A friendly dog is a real friend; an aggressive one is loyalty turned strained.

The dog stands for faithfulness in dreams as consistently as it does in waking life. It usually points at a specific person.

Its behaviour is the reading: a friendly dog confirms someone reliable, a growling one suggests a friendship under strain.
