What It Can Point To
- Base symbol: loyalty, protection, instinct, friendship, or warning.
- Modifier meaning: Support is near, or your instincts are calm.
- Check ordinary causes first: stress, grief, memory, illness, conflict, media, alcohol, medication, or bad sleep.
- A repeated modifier matters more than one strange image after a difficult day.

Before You Decide
Read the ordinary cause first. Then read the pattern. If you skip the ordinary cause, you will scare yourself and call it intuition. I do not work that way.
Do not assume a real person is disloyal because of one animal dream. Look for waking evidence. One dream detail is not proof against another person and not a command to act.
