To see yourself caring for an animal in a dream denotes a compassionate personality. It is likely that in real life you’re being called to look after a person or situation, or perhaps there’s something that you need to nurture within yourself. If you’re caring for a pet, this suggests that you have a strong bond, and the emotional connection between you transcends any barriers to communication. It could be that you’re feeling overanxious about your pet, and this worry has seeped into your dream.
