Summary

How does the dream maker help us when we’re lost and alone in the wilderness of our lives?

Let your inner dogs guide you to a deeper understanding of yourself—discover the wisdom in your dreams this fall at DREAM SCHOOL.

We love dogs, and they love us. For millennia, they have held deep symbolic meaning in mythology, religion, and literature, often serving as protectors, guides, loyal companions, and a connection to our instincts. When it comes to dog symbolism in dreams, they can embody emotional support, intuition, or boundless enthusiasm. Whether acting as guardians, like in ancient myths, or loyal companions, dogs often reflect our need to trust our instincts and deal with unresolved issues or unprecedented transitions in our lives. Their appearance in dreams evokes a connection between our conscious and unconscious minds, helping us navigate challenges that our waking minds cannot fully grasp.

Prepare to discover what dogs symbolize when they appear in your dreams, how the roles of dogs in myth and religion reflect essential psychological processes, which existential dilemmas might be addressed by the appearance of dogs in your psyche, whether a dream dog’s presence signals unresolved emotional conflict or an opportunity for inner growth, why inner dogs offer a connection to the deeper, instinctual aspects of Self…and so much more.
