Dreaming of a dog that bites - meaning and interpretations
The dog is one of the animals that appears most frequently in dreams. Depending on how it looks, how it behaves towards the dreamer and many other details, the correct interpretation of the dream image can be drawn. However, man's best friend is not always dreamed of in friendly and playful attitudes. In fact, in some cases, dogs are dreamed of showing their aggression. Here are all the meanings when it happens to dream of a dog biting.
Symbology of the dog in dreams
Not only in dreams, but also in the collective imagination, the dog usually has a positive meaning. Always considered as the most faithful and loyal friend of man, the dog is an animal that usually inspires trust and security. However, even these animals sometimes reveal their more instinctive side, which can turn into aggression. For this reason, the meaning of dream dogs can vary from case to case. These are the most common interpretations:
- Fidelity and loyalty: as already mentioned, the dog is considered man's best friend. This particularly positive reputation owes it to his particularly protective character towards those he loves.This is why over time it has become the symbol of these qualities and can also represent them in dreams. In the dream world, dogs can be "messengers" of the unconscious who come to the aid of the dreamer or who can encourage him to pursue his goal.
- Instinct: despite the fact that some of its qualities are close to human ones, the dog remains an animal made of instincts. When you dream it, it can reflect the feelings and the most irrational part of the dreamer.
- A loved one: we know that in the dream world everything is possible and this means that a dog can indicate in the dream a person who helps us in everyday life or who is always ready to support us with extreme loyalty.
- Ferocity: finally, however, a rabid dog that barks, growls and tries to bite scares anyone. Dreaming of this animal while it behaves like this means either that the dreamer has a strong accumulation of repressed anger or that he is surrounded by aggressive people towards him.

Dreaming of a dog biting a certain part of the body or an object
Dreaming of a dog biting can have more than one meaning, depending on the part of the body or the object that is bitten. In general, however, it is often the symbol of a person that the dreamer considers a threat or the most hidden instincts that they are taking over, risking serious damage, but if it doesn't hurt when it bites, then it's as if it wants to lead you on the right path to prevent you from making mistakes.
