Pregnant Dog Dream

I had an odd dream last night that had a variety of symbols. I am trying to put it all together.

I was driving in a car with my Mom and fiance. We passed by a pregnant dog about to give birth. So we stopped and wanted to take care of the dog and monitor her. In the same dream I also started a community group and people were joining and were actively participating. I ate some cake and left cake out for the group.

I’m going to start with the first part of my dream.

I know the car symbolizes your life and the direction you are headed in life. I am glad I was the one driving (means I am in control of my life) and had my two priorities in life with me (Mom and fiance).

Now for the pregnant dog.

Tricky thing is that I did not dream that I’M pregnant. The dog is pregnant.

If you dream that you are pregnant, it could symbolize:

… an aspect of yourself or some aspect of your personal life that is growing and developing. It may represent the birth of a new idea, direction, project or goal.

I was happy to find that dreaming about a dog show indicates many advantages and good fortune (unless the dog is mad!). The dog symbolizes:

Intuition, loyalty, generosity, protection, and fidelity. The dream suggests that your strong values and good intentions will enable you to go forward in the world and bring you success.

A dog that has puppies can refer to your nurturing abilities. But my dog didn’t have puppies in the dream yet. She was pregnant and about to give birth.

Here is what birth could mean:

To dream of giving birth or see someone else giving birth suggests that you are giving birth to a new idea or project. It can also represent a new attitude, fresh beginnings, or a major event.

I also read that a pregnant dog is related to the word “litter”, and it could indicate “a precognitive feeling of a pending litter of tasks one will be facing in real life”. Another possible interpretation according to Dreamota is that it could symbolize sexual or maternal instincts.

This was interesting because I am in a turning point in my life and have been wanting to make changes. The dog symbolizes my good intentions and hopefully success will come my way. The dog’s pregnancy represents my development and as mentioned above, birth means new beginnings, a new idea or new project. The dog did not give birth yet but was about to give birth, which means that the change has not occurred but is yet to come.

And finally, cake could mean

1.  That you need to learn to share and allocate your workload instead of trying to do everything yourself
2.  That you feel you are not getting your fair share
3.  Selfishness
4.  Could represent accomplishments and achievements

I think the first definition applies to me, because I often try to do everything myself in all aspects of my life, including my new goal.
