Dream Interpretation: Basset Hound Puppy

I rarely dream these days. If I do, I dream about work coz that's all I am busy with these days. Call me a workaholic and all, but I just love how I spend my time right now. So it came as a surprise when I dreamt of a puppy. I am not really sure if it's the Basset Hound type but because of its long ears (where one got torn in my dream), it probably was a Basset Hound. We used to own one. Her name was Sam. But we couldn't take care of her anymore so we gave her up. It's not that I miss her but I really wonder what my dream means. So I consulted with dreammoods.com and this is what they have to say:

To see a puppy in your dream, symbolizes your playfulness and carefree nature. It also refers to a blossoming friendship. If you are taking care of a puppy, then it means that you are reliable and trustworthy. Others can depend on you, especially during difficult times.

To see a happily barking dog in your dream, symbolizes pleasures and social activity. You are being accepted into some circle.

To see a dog in your dream, symbolizes intuition, loyalty, generosity, protection, and fidelity. The dream suggests that your strong values and good intentions will enable you to go forward in the world and bring you success. The dream dog may also represent someone in your life who exhibits these qualities. Alternatively, to see a dog in your dream, indicates a skill that you may have ignored or forgotten.

So I guess it was a good dream then. ^_^ Thank you for clearing that up DreamMoods!
