Interpretation of a Dog Dream by Ibn Sirin and Al-Nabulsi
Ibn Sirin’s View
Ibn Sirin says that dogs in a dream represent a corrupt, foolish man. Seeing a dog in a dream may indicate weak enemies with little honor. A rabid dog symbolizes a thief or a person of low morals. Dogs in a dream can also signify those who invent or promote innovations (heresies) or follow them. If someone sees themselves chasing a dog in a dream, it means they are pursuing an innovation. If dogs are chasing the dreamer, it points to enemies lying in wait.
Al-Nabulsi’s View
Sheikh Al-Nabulsi interprets dogs in a dream as lowly, despicable people. A dog may represent a stingy, greedy person obsessed with worldly gains. Symbolically, a dog in a dream is a man who boldly commits sins and acts foolishly. An attack by a dog in a dream indicates enmity with an immoral person.

Ibn Shaheen states that a dog in a dream symbolizes an enemy with little zeal. A female dog (bitch) represents a woman without opinion or judgment. Seeing a dog in a dream indicates a cold-hearted enemy who is outwardly compassionate and harmless. For a married woman, dogs may signify a greedy man or a poorly performing servant.

Interpretation of a Dog Bite in a Dream
Ibn Sirin’s Interpretation
Ibn Sirin says a dog bite in a dream foretells misfortune with no good in it. If a dog tears the dreamer’s clothes, it represents a vile man tarnishing their honor. A dog bite may also indicate betrayal by a craftsman or worker against their benefactor, or treachery by a guard. Seeing a dog bite suggests the dreamer follows innovators and adopts their heresies. The harm from a dog bite reflects the enemy’s malice, proportional to its severity.
