If there’s an animal in your dream – that means something...

Think hard about the last dream you had...  

Was there an animal lurking around somewhere? Lauri Quinn Loewenberg, author of “Dream On It,” says about 50% of our dreams feature an animal somewhere – and each animal breeds a different message in our dream:

• A horse represents self-confidence. If it’s happy or running free, you’re feeling secure and confident. If it’s sick or timid, something is holding you back in life.

• A wild cat like a lion or tiger represents your ambition: Dreaming of a predatory cat suggests you’re on the hunt for something. If it’s chasing you, you may be afraid of getting what you really want.

• A house cat represents your sensual side. Dreaming of them is usually a sign of confidence and sex-appeal. If it’s meowing or trying to get your attention, you’re probably neglecting that part of yourself.

• A bird represents freedom. If it’s flying, that’s good news. If it’s ill or wounded, or in a cage, you’re probably stuck in a rut or frustrated.

• A dog represents your relationships. The behavior of the dog in your dreams will likely be very similar to that of the person in your closest relationship.
