Don’t panic! This is a really scary dream to have, I know, but it doesn’t mean your dog is going to die. It just means that you love him, and you don’t want anything bad to happen to him.
A lot of our dreams are just manifestations of our subconscious, so it’s quite normal for our hopes and fears – usually fears, as they’re stronger – to float into our heads when we’re asleep. They’re not premonitions, though, however real they might seem.
I remember the first time I dreamed that my pony Dougal had died. I woke up and cried, because it seemed like it had really happened! I read up about death dreams online and checked my dream book, and everything I read said not to worry.
I had that dream over two years ago, and he’s still okay, so it didn’t mean anything.
Every now and then I still have dreams of my pony running away or dying, but it’s just because I love him, and not because it’s actually going to happen. You just have to chill out and stop worrying – that will only make the dreams worse.
Another thing - don't watch Marley and Me if you're prone to having sad dreams about your dog!
