What does it mean to dream about our pets?

It is one thing to dream about pets, but another to dream about your own pet since the meaning is much more personal and it is related to your own life.

If you dream about your pet, it can mean that you want to start a new stage in your life and that you can even take care of someone else, not necessarily a pet. It can also refer to a child or another responsibility of this kind.

However, dreaming about your own pets can have different meanings, such as:

• You are ready to take on great responsibilities: This is the main meaning of this type of dreams. Just as you have the responsibility of protecting your pet in your dream, you are also ready to face obstacles and overcome them in real life. 
• You are quite overprotective: whether it comes to your partner, children or the people you live with. You might be exaggerating a little about how you treat them, so think about it and improve that relationship.
• You may be exaggerating when it comes to your partner: You may even treat him or her like a pet, which can lead to arguments and troubles in your relationship. This dream warns you to open your eyes to what is happening and what you need to change or improve about yourself. 
• You are a vulnerable person: Dreaming about pets can symbolize your need to give and receive affection from others. You may find yourself at a very vulnerable time in your life. Therefore, you need to become stronger so you do not become emotionally dependent on others. 
• You are a nice person: Empathy is probably one of your greatest features, as you care about your loved ones and the people around you. In this case, dreaming about pets can make you see that you have this great virtue and that you like to know that your friends and family are well.
