Expert’s Opinion
Dr. Nereida Gonzalez-Berrios, MD, reviewer and certified psychiatrist of ThePleasantDream, commented, “Animals constitute a large part of nature because wherever we go, we always find some animals that are native to it. As dreams are aligned with our current events of life and animals being a part of our ecosystem, seeing them in dreams is quite natural. Therefore, people might be searching for their meanings and hence the google search data.”
She further added, “Dreaming of wild animals can make you feel liberated and independent, just like a wild animal in its natural habitat. However, every animal signifies something unique about your waking life. So, if you wish to figure out more about these dreams, you must recollect the details first and seek professional help if you wish to dive deeper.”
