I had a dream i was visiting my parents home and our dog wasn’t around. My parents showed me another dog but it wasn’t mine. When i realized my dog was missing, my parents confessed that my dog had an accident and fell down stairs and died. I was so devastated and never cried so hard before. I woke up when i was crying in the dream.
This dream could indicate a strong emotional attachment that you have with your pet dog, which is very common. The absence of your dog in your dream may represent a fear of losing something that is very important to you. The idea of your parents showing you another dog symbolizes an attempt to replace or fill the void of what was lost. However, the dog not being yours suggests that you cannot replace what you have lost. The fact that your dog died due to an accident may symbolize a sense of helplessness or powerlessness that you may feel in certain life situations. The dream may also reflect feelings of guilt or regret over not being able to protect or prevent the loss of something that is valuable to you. The intense emotional reaction in your dream and waking up crying may imply that the grief and sadness related to your dog's loss are still present and may need to be dealt with in your waking life.
