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.
Earthquake
Earthquake dreams represent fundamental disruption — something shaking the very foundations of your life or beliefs.
