Death (Others)
Dreaming of someone else dying typically doesn't predict their death. Instead, it may represent changes in your relationship with that person, qualities of theirs that you're losing touch with, or your fears about losing them. If the person is a stranger, they may represent aspects of yourself that are 'dying' or transforming.
Dog
Dogs in dreams typically represent loyalty, companionship, and unconditional love. A friendly dog may symbolize a trustworthy friend or your own protective instincts. An aggressive dog could represent feelings of betrayal or a threatening situation. The breed, size, and behavior of the dream dog all carry significance. Puppies often represent new friendships or nurturing aspects of yourself.
