Dog Days

This Story Comes From A Dreamer Like You...

So back home in Portland, OR I worked at a place called the Baghdad Theater where you can have dinner and a movie. In my dream everyone had dogs with them literally everyone in the theater had at least one dog and up to three or four dogs on a leash. I was working concessions and we were very busy tonight and with all the added dogs the whole place was noisy. There was one man in particular that caught my attention. This man had two dogs with him and they both were very excited by all the commotion of the theater. He had a smaller toy like dog and brown lab, and they were getting out of control; they were barking and snapping at the other dogs. This man was getting visibly upset with his dogs and he starts to yell at them and yank on the leashes nearly pulling them off of their feet. This does not stop the dogs from going wild so he drags them out of the theater into the front of the building. I turned to my co worker and said something along the lines of "Wow some people shouldn't own animals" I could see him through the glass doors in front of the theater scolding at his dogs. Then the man reaches down and picks up his smaller barking dog picking it up and smashing it to the ground. I stood there horrified watching from inside the building. His small dog laid broken on the ground bruised and dying. He reached down and picked up the lifeless body of his dog and slammed it to the ground again with no mercy. I am distraught and tears are falling uncontrollably. This man continued the carnage by killing his other dog and many others until there was a literal pile of dead dogs around him. I just remember before I woke up thinking how could someone be so terrible.  

Interpretations From: http://www.dreammoods.com/
Dog 
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. If the dog is vicious and/or growling, then it indicates some inner conflict within yourself. It may also indicate betrayal and untrustworthiness. To see a sick dog in your dream symbolizes a neglected friendship. If the dog is dead or dying, then it means a loss of a good friend or a deterioration of your instincts. Also consider common notions associated with the word dog, such as loyalty ("man's best friend") and to be "treated like a dog". To dream that you are feeding a dog means that you are nurturing an old skill or talent. It also implies that you need to put more time and effort into fostering your friendships. If you dream that a dog has puppies, then it refers to your nurturing abilities. Dreaming that you cannot get a dog off your back implies that you are not able to shake someone off your back. Perhaps they are being too overbearing or too dependent on you.

Movie Theater 
To dream that you are in a movie theater indicates that you are attempting to protect yourself from your emotions and/or actions. Viewing them on a movie screen projects them onto another person and thus makes those feelings and actions seem more distant. Your subconscious is trying to protect you from experiencing them directly.

Work 
To dream that you are at work indicates that you are experiencing some anxiety about a current project or task. The dream may also be telling you that you need to "get back to work". Perhaps you have been slacking off and need to pick up the pace. Stop procrastinating. Alternatively, the dream reflects your success.
To dream that you are at your former work suggests that there is an old lesson that you need to learn and apply to your current situation.

Job 
To dream about your current job suggests that you need to work harder or be more effective at work. There may be something or some task that must be done at once. Or the dream may mean you are overworked or preoccupied with work. You need to make time for leisure and relaxation. If you dream that you are still working at your old job, then it suggests that there is an old lesson that you need to learn and apply to a current situation. It may also mean that you are regressing into your comfort zone.
