White Dog Symbolism in Cultures
The symbol of the dog is deep and ancient, its image transpires in various mythological figures: from the Goddess Hecate who reigns in the underworld, to the Cerberus monster guarding the infernal river of the Styx, to the Egyptian deities who accompanied the dead in the passage to the afterlife.
The dog is a “psychopomp” animal, it represents the entity that accompanies the souls during their journey in the afterlife. The energy of the symbol then moves in a direction more linked to the spirit, to spiritual or psychological support. But the dog, is also linked to the “animal part” present in each of us, represents the instincts that can present themselves “domesticated”, partially integrated, or already accepted already in the sphere of action of the dreamer.
Dreaming of a dog or many dogs ready to attack, refers to the aggressive impulses and the fear that they can take control, or refers to real fears of the dreamer of not being able to defend himself from the fury and aggression of others.
While the dog in dreams that defends us or follows us amicably, makes us think of the need for support, help or the need to delimit a territory, that is to put boundaries to the claims of others, to assert their ideas and opinions.
For Freud, the symbol of the dog in dreams is linked to the sexual instinct, while Jung traces it back to a friendly bond, a life partner or an inner self guardian of instincts.
The inoffensive and playful appearance of the puppy dog in the dream, help the dreamer to accept instinctive or aggressive parts that frighten her. It is a small “trick” that uses our psyche to put us in touch with aspects of us that we are not yet fully ready to accept. The unconscious, with this image, renders “instinctive” an instinctive energy, of which the dreamer must not be afraid and which can later modify and manifest itself in its reality.
The meaning of the dog in dreams is often linked to the body and instincts, to the defense of one’s own well-being and territory, from which a conciliatory relationship with others is not excluded.
