If you dream of animals, you should know that animals represent our basic instincts or parts of our personality. On the other hand, folkloric interpretations suggest that some animals bring bad or good luck. However, we must look at the nature of the creature and with what character features or feelings we associate it. Also, it is important to note that animal symbols can carry positive and negative potentials and should be correlated with your feelings and emotions about them.

It is also good to know the mood of your dream. It happens that sometimes we don't remember the dream itself, but we definitely remember the mood in which we wake up. If you woke up feeling depressed, or sad, there might be an indication of a problem or any other aspect, which you haven't acknowledge yet in waking life and need to focus on.

Another tip in understanding your dreams is analysing what feelings and emotions you had during them. If you felt cold, it may suggest that you are indifferent towards someone, and feeling hot could mean that you are passionate about someone. If you dream about getting sunburned, the dream could indicate that you are taking risks in waking life.
