jss:
I had a dream last night — a very vivid one — that an angry pit bull was attacking me. I have no idea a)why the dog was attacking me or b)why I was dreaming about said dog attacking me. I woke up scared to death and tried my hand at happier dreams, only to later awake after dreaming about a mangy black lab with rabies attacking me. WTF?!
I’m encouraged to know that so many people look to me on such a wide variety of topics. How amazing I find it, however, when people such as JSS send me questions on which I am an expert, specifically in this case, dreams of being attacked by animals.
As a youngster, yours truely was prone to having what some call ‘night terrors’. I would awaken convinced that some viscious predator were feasting upon my toes. Remarkably, I would often find my feet covered in wetness, no doubt perspiration for what my body believed to be a very real threat.
I remember rather vividly one night in particular awaking with a start. Mother’s riding instructor appeared almost instantly and assured me it was my mind playing tricks on me. That Steven was always so helpful around the house, considering he was a riding instructor. Why I can also remember many times Steven assisting mother with rearranging the furniture in her living quarters while Poppa was away on business.
Forgive me, where was I? Oh yes. Dreams. You should know that when you dream of dogs attacking you, it suggests a need or desire to be sexually submissive. Either that or that you have just viewed the film Kujo.
Have a splendid day.
