Hiding

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.
Hiding
Hiding in dreams represents avoidance, the desire for protection, or shame about something in your life. What you're hiding from reveals what you're avoiding in waking life. Successfully hiding may indicate relief from pressure, while being found despite hiding suggests that avoidance isn't working. Hiding someone else may represent protecting someone or concealing a secret.
