Dream of Dog Dying – Spiritual Meaning:
It is about the end of a protective influence
“Faithful are the wounds of a friend; profuse are the kisses of an enemy.” — Proverbs 27:6
If I dream of a dog, more often than not it symbolises loyalty, friendship and protection.
By nature, dogs are protectors and they take care of someone who they love with all their heart.
Thus when I dream of a dead dog it’s synonymous with my guardian dying.
Perhaps it is not a person, but something I believed in, or something that used to protect me.
In the spiritual manifestation, this dream represents a time in my life where I will have to grow and find out how to be self-sufficient.
It is as though I am going from leaning on an outside source for protection, to finding my power within myself.
The stripping of this barrier for a moment sucks but that means I get grow — to become empowered without fear.
This shift is not the universe turning its back on me. But, it supplies me for freedom of am an independent.
In the ancient teachings of spirituality we are taught that when a protector dies it is a symbol for that it have become our turn to learn to be own protectors.
Even though it sucks, this is the seed of autonomy and self-assuredness.
Friendship
“A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.” — Proverbs 17:17
To dream of a dying dog can imply that long-standing friendships or loyalties are are being tested or transformed.
It does not always have to be the physical death of a relationship, rather it changes within it.
The bond I have with someone in my life might be evolving.
The fact that a dog is dying in my dream might mean the way I relate needs to change, even if it somehow signals a loss.
It may be time to reevaluate what loyalty looks like for me and how it fits in with those in my life.
Relationships have to change if you are growing in the spiritual sense.
The new dream is letting me know that it may be time for me to examine whether or not some of the friendships are still in alignment with where I am on my spiritual path.
In many circumstances, a relationship may even come to an end or shift completely so that there is space for new growth to occur.
It is about emotional attachments
“Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.” — 1 Peter 5:7
In the emotional sense, dogs represent unconditional love.
If i have a dream of dog dying it means that it says its time to let go some emotions.
I guess I have been clutching on to old wounds, pending quarrels and emotional baggage far too tightly.
This dream is a sign that it was time to release them.
WISDOM is learning how to LET GO of one of the toughest lessons ON THE SPIRITUAL PATH.
A dog dying in a dream can feel like part of the emotional support structure that backs up those open wallets is pulling away.
Basically, the dog dying is representative of me needing to feel the feelings, mourn a little and bury it all down deep.
So I can eventually move on from this place where my emotions are keeping me stuck.
It is about intuition
“The only real valuable thing is intuition.” – Albert Einstein
In dreams, dogs signify my intuition.
The part of me that inherently knows what is best for myself.
If I dream of a dog dying, it means that I have broken my inner guide.
Possibly I have become too dependent on external stimuli to guide me.
This dream is telling me to connect with my spirit more.
It shows that I have reached a place at which external advice and protection will not supplement my voice.
Once again my initial feeling of dread regarding the death of a dog in a dream was just another invitation to begin healing my relationship with myself.
Old Habits
“Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature.” — Colossians 3:5
I can be as loyal as a dog.
To my daily habits, routines and thought processes.
A dog dying in my dream is actually the death of an old habit that has accompanied me in life for too long.
It tells me that these habits are not in alignment with my highest good.
I am being called to let these people go so that they can no longer stand in the way of my development.
When something feels like the whole world is ending, it actually means that the world you have grown to know will soon be finished.
Releasing these old patterns will only lead to closer access of the person I was meant to evolve into.
It is about grief
“Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.” — Matthew 5:4
My very worst fears come up in death dreams and it causes me great distress to face them.
The passing of a dog can evoke feelings of sorrow.
This dream represents that I must go through the feelings and learn how to channel them.
This may be due to a recent experience of loss in my waking life, real or symbolic, which is represented as this dream and the resultant mournfulness.
Its the spiritual meaning that is important here, not the loss in itself but how do I choose to move through it.
Grief is where I learn my greatest spirituality.
This dream is telling me to feel my feelings and mourn, as part of the mechanisms I need right now.
I’m spiritually healed not by avoiding loss but laying bare to loss.
A Shift
“The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.” — Proverbs 16:9
Dreaming that a dog dies can be quite symbolic of a great change on my spiritual path.
Dogs as our companion, almost spirit guide and protector offering spiritual assurance to follow my path.
For me, the passing of a dog in my dream signifies that my spiritual journey is taking a different course.
I have transcended parts of the spiritual practices that used to be so directing.
This dream tells me I am to forge new spiritual paths, let the old go and know that new directions will follow. And, spiritually speaking, this signifies that I’m growing and evolving.
While this change may be accompanied by insecurity, it results in greater revelation.
It is about loyalty
“Do not give dogs what is holy, and do not throw your pearls before pigs.” — Matthew 7:6
Dogs in dreams represent my loyalty.
For example if I am dreaming that a dog is dying, it will be time for me to think about to whom or where my loyalty has been and in which way is been the establishment of my limits.
Maybe, I have simply been loyal to what may not be merit of all that energy from me in form of people/ places /commitments!
I need to examine my boundaries.
I think maybe what I am being asked, is have I been giving away in a way that has been too depletive of my inner resource that keeps me well and at peace.
This pattern ends with the death of the dog and is a step to emotional health.
Fear
“For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.” — 2 Timothy 1:7
My dreams of death are mostly to do with my fears of the unknown.
If I dream of the dog death might represent my fears for upcoming changes or when things do not go as planned.
Because dogs are protectors, their dying in my dream are a reflectiong of the vulnerability I experience around what is unknown.
This dream is a spiritual message for me to let go of those fears.
Although, it may be intimidating not knowing what to expect, but at the same time lays an infinite number of possibilities for potentials!
So my higher self tells me to just TRUST the process, EMBRACE all that is new and is changing around me.
It is about death
“To live is Christ and to die is gain.” — Philippians 1:21
In a spiritual sense, dreams about dying are a reflection of the natural state of life.
If I have a dream of a dead dog, it represents death and rebirth, elements of the cycle of life.
This dream tells me to respect these cycles. Death is not the end but a necessary step in order to re-birth.
Inner Conflict
“For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit.” — Galatians 5:17
A dream in which a dog dies reflects inner conflict, especially if dogs symbolize my loyalty, love or protective instinct.
The death of a dog would speak to internal conflict, where I am torn between different aspects of myself.
This battle is making difficult choices, or forcing me to face my values and take active steps that contradict how I want to see myself.
The dream is telling me that I need to resolve these two things so that it becomes a balanced in me.
The dog that is dying symbolizes the part of me weighed down by trying to balance two sides neutrally.
It tells me something in there must be unburied before I can walk more freely through the world, uninhabited.
In the end, this dream is calling me to confront my bullshit and work out what the hell to do with myself.
A true harmony and spiritual evolution will arise as I incorporate both my brightness and all darkness sides of me within a single half.
It is about abandonment
“I will never leave you nor forsake you.” — Hebrews 13:5
Dogs represent lifelong friends and unwavering loyalty.
I may be haunted with the ancient anxiety from losing another dog. I have a fear of being that kid that is left behind, the lasting one waiting.
The dreaminspires me to face these emotions and mend the pains of old deceit.
Fear of abandonment is one of the biggest emotional blocks.
It impacts on my relationships, judgement and self esteem.
The sick dog in my dream is the announcement of the end of this fear.
Personal Sacrifice
“Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.” — John 15:13
It is because dogs are thought to be the ultimate representations of selflessness, and they always sacrifice themselves for the benefit of their owners.
Dreams in which a dog dies is a sign of what sacrifices I made, or must make soon in my life.
A dream about a dog dying reveals times when I have sacrificed myself for others.
Sacrifice is noble, but it will also suck me dry should I do so in excess.
