Deceased Pet Visitation

While I was sleeping last night a dog visited me. It was happy and jumped around my face, brushing its fur against my cheek. The tail looked odd, but when I knew the dog, her tail had been clipped. The dog that visited me had a full tail with a knot close to the base. This was ex's dog who passed away last year. I know because I'm not a pet owner and the only dogs I've been close to were my ex's 2 dogs (when we were together) and my mom's dog. I try to talk to the dog and it ran off. I don't know what to make of this.

That is very interesting. I think the dog was saying hello to you and telling you not to worry (:

Thanks I think so. 🙂 I never had a pet to visit me in a dream before, so I am very intrigued. My ex loved her very much and I texted him that she was happy and at peace. Mind you I had no clue she had passed on.

To see a dog in your dream, symbolize a skill that you have not used, ignored or even forgotten. This skill needs to be activated. Alternatively, dogs may indicate intuition, loyalty, protection, generosity and fidelity. Dreaming of dog shows, that your own values and intentions will enable you to go forward in the world and succeed.

This is definitely true also. I am becoming self aware that I have been holding back in certain areas of my life.

I think it odd too that I got the pet visitation dream, instead of my ex.

PETS IN DREAMS : Understanding dreams is not so difficult. In practice dream symbols translate into certain words within the English language. For instance a "pet" dream may simply capture an everyday thought such as "I need comforting due to all my financial problems". In that way the pet can literally be translated into the words "I need comforting" as comfort is one of the things that we associate with pets.

KEYWORDS CONNECTED TO THIS SYMBOL
In practice pets have several symbolic meanings. Here is the full list.
- "affectionate and nice" (There are not usually complications with pets. They are usually very affectionate and loyal. So they are a symbol for any friendships or affectionate relationships. Think of any connection in your thoughts with affection. Do you need more affection?)
- "a boyfriend" (We expect loyalty and trust and affection from a boyfriend. These are also qualities which we associate with pets. Your dream could be about your boyfriend in some way. It could suggest that you have realised how affectionate he is? It may hint that you wish for him to be more affectionate and loyal?)
- "a loyal and trusted friend" (We expect total loyalty from pets. So these are symbols for loyalty in any aspect of our lives. )
- "missing someone dearly" (Is your husband or a loved one away at the moment? If you are missing someone a lot a pet dream may tap into that loss.)
