Dream symbol · R

Rabid Dog

A warning of uncontrolled aggression or trust betrayed by a close friend.

Dream interpretation

The dog is a symbol of loyalty, but when rabid, it embodies distorted faithfulness or the fear of betrayal. There may be someone in your circle who has lost self-control, or you yourself may be suppressing a great deal of anger. If it chases you, your mind is signaling a conflict that has become destructive. The advice here is to avoid open confrontations until emotions have cooled. Consider where in your life you feel threatened by someone you previously considered to be faithful.
