The last few times in which I have woken up from a nightmare have involved dogs. I haven't had a nightmare that still had my panicked when I woke up in a long time but the last one I had involved a doberman/Rottweiler type of dog.

I have no fear of dogs at all, I love dogs(not as much as cats, but still) And I have a soft spot for the great big ones such as German Shepards, huskies, Akitas, wolf-dogs etc. I don't have any memory of being afraid of dogs either.

So i think it's strange that the only nightmares that I wake up from involve one or more dogs. After such nightmares I usually can't fall back asleep for a night or two. Is this normal at all? Is there any meaning to it?

I got bit by a dog when I was about 9-10 and had some bad dreams about getting bit when I was in my early teens, but nothing since and I'm 54. I don't know what else could cause that.
