Growl – A growl is a menacing noise that indicates to you that the person or thing facing you in your dream is an enemy to you. If you dream of a growling dog, this is a threat facing you in your personal life. Watch out for new people entering your life, because the guard dog of your subconscious is warning you that they are not to be trusted. Your relationship to the growling dog is important. If the growl is meant to protect you, this means you should be on your guard against threats. If the growl is aimed at you, this means that someone in your life considers you to be an enemy and does not trust you, or that you yourself know you have not acted in a trustworthy manner to that person.
