Holding Comfort Cross
I dreamt a car ran over a dog what does it mean?

I dreamt i was walking down a main road behind a lady holding the hand of a small toddler and they had a little Yorkshire terrier (kind of like Toto out of the wizard of oz) with them. They stopped to cross the road and the little dog ran across in front of them and just as they were about to cross a car drove past, i thought it had missed the dog. The car did not stop but after it had driven off i saw the dog and it had been run over right through its hips which were all broken and bleeding. The lady looked heartbroken and as i rushed over the child who had appeared stunned started to scream. The lady tended to the dog and i picked up the child to comfort them.
Then i woke up. I don't normally question dreams but it was so grotesque and vivid it has stayed with me for a few days...

Can anyone tell me what this may mean?
I don't drive by the way...

I am studying dream interpretation myself, but I really do not recommend dream dictionaries like the second answer gave. The problem with dream dictionaries is that every symbol is set to one certain meaning, and alot of the time it is so vague that the definition leaves you more confused than you started.

Dream Interpretation is all about what the factors in the dream mean to you. What does a dog mean to you? Do you in fact find them to be loyal and loveable? I take it that since you ran over to the child so quickly, you like children and don't have any problems with them. You should think about why you would run to comfort the child instead of the dog...after all, the dog is the one mashed to the ground.

While a dog typically means loyalty and a child represents the innocence and purity out of life, both of these parts were distressed at the exact same time, but you chose to comfort innocence over loyalty. Are you having trouble tending to people you care about because what they are asking is too much for you? Are some of your friends or family members doing things you don't approve of and you want to help them but you want to keep your innocence at the same time?

A car also typically means freedom, especially for any young person. It's wierd how freedom managed to kill loyalty...do you think thats happening to you? For example, when I first got my car I lost nearly all my friends because they got too comfortable with it, and when my car would break down they wanted nothing to do with me. Maybe something similar happened to you?

Like I said before, no one can interpret a dream like the dreamer. I gave you some tips and insight, now you should figure out what this dream means to you...not some pre-written crap.
