Dream Interpretation…a wolf killed?

I had a very very sad dream last night, broke my heart. I was attacked by a little wolf, it was so small I could hold it away by grabbing it’s snapping snout and he was unable to hurt me, or at least not very much. But before I could get away from it, someone ran up and killed it (slit it’s throat) right before my eyes and I weeped and held it and could do nothing to ease it’s suffering while it died in my arms. I just remember not being able to cry hard enough, express deeply enough, the level of pain I was in over it’s death. And I felt guilt for it, since it was for my protection it was killed. It seemed so sensless while I mourned.

That’s about all it was about, the attack, the kill strike, then the pain as the little thing died. One of the shortest dreams I have ever had. And it was all in a bluish, wintery light if that makes whit of difference.

The little wolf is a symbol for some specific problem in your life, or an important area of your life that is causing you trouble. The problem is hurting you in some way, yet you have confidence that you can manage it, just as you managed the little wolf. Someone else, probably somebody with some authority, wants to totally eliminate the problem for you, or perhaps has already removed it. From your perspective, this action is entirely too harsh, and you feel deep loss that you are (or were) not allowed to manage the situation in your own way.

Once you recognize what the little wolf represents you can respond appropriately. At the very least you might learn to communicate clearly with authority, stating your determination to manage your own difficulties.
