I always have such a strange dream, help!?
Byalways have this dream where I go into a pet store and I reallllly don not want to be there. All of the fish are scary, their water is green and bubbly and I feel sorry for them for some reason even though they totally freak me out. Sometimes there is even a big barracuda-like fish running around and I worry about it and tell it that it had better get back into its tank. The owner of this pet store is not nice and does not treat the animals well. He makes me very angry but I never know what to do about it so I just leave. In my most recent version of this dream there was a lawyer standing out front of the pet store and I walked up to him and told him all about the evil doings of the owner and tried to help him catch the bad guys (I don’t remember f we actually succeeded). In the back right hand corner of the pet store there are a lot of dogs in cages and I want to help them but I never do anything, every time there is a boxer dog in one of the cages and a fluffy white dog in another. Every time I am in the pet store, I am with someone else. For some reason, every time I have this dream it completely creeps me out. And sometimes I even dream that I walk back into the area where they keep the dogs, its sort of like a maze. In the back of the maze they are euthanizing dogs but I never can look.

Your dream may suggest an overall aprehension on your part of being caged/boxed in/ or contained (in either the physical or metaphorical sense). For example, you may be facing fears having to do with being chained down emotionally, being obligated to do things you dont want to, or feeling forced into certain situations. The owner of the pet store may represent authority figures who have forced you into certain situations that you wish you weren’t a part of (whether it be friends with lots of influence/peer pressure, teachers/principals having you comply with rules you dont understand, coaches pushing you to be competitive, etc)
The lawyer may represent a parental figure, or someone you regard as posessing a sense of “right” and “wrong” and that has the power to do something about it.
Dream interpretation is difficult – symbols and imagery found in the dreams do not hold universal meaning, but rather they are unique to the individual. Dreams are usually an attempt by your subconscious to convey a message to the conscious sense of self. Put differently, dreams are often a way of yourself telling yourself something that you dont think about in waking state, usually because it’s too emotionally painful or is an ego blow. However, not all dreams have meaning. Often, dreams are simply your mind categorizing memories from short into long term storage, and the randomness of them are the result of certain parts of the brain (ie prefrontal cortex) remaining dormant during the sleep process. Keep these thoughts in mind next time you wonder the significance of your dreams, they may help in providing insight into why you’re dreaming what you are!

Unfortunately you are in an unpleasnat time of your life.. the fact this dream keeps reoccurring means you must take note of its meaning… once you get a true interpretation it will stop. forget modern psychology its is ridiculous for interpreting dreams..
a dog means an argument or conflict
a shop means a covering.. could be father, boss, or something similiar..
water means emotions and fish the actions that come from those emotions.
so all toghether it basically means you are in a place in your life where you are forced to do or be something you do not like and its causing internal or perhaps external conflicts, which you cant even express (hence the caged dogs) It is wrong of them to be treating you like this hence the lawyer represents ur desire to make things right and get justice.. to be free from the situation.
so either ur work place, ur father or someone making you be or do something in ur life you really do not like… and watever it is ur not facing and holding in ur conflict against the situation.. hence the dream is repeating. acknowledge you dont like being on the place you are or doing what ur made to do and unleash the dogs! express your concerns to ppl. dont hold things in.
God bless.
