I had a dream where I think I was some sort of knight-errant, or at least some fantasy novel type figure. I was looking for something with the help of a small, mousy woman. She seemed like a thief type, her and I proceeded to gather some dogs together and we laid them out on the bed of someone I used to be friends with. We'd lay the dogs on their back and open this weird skin flap that was near the stomach of the dogs. Once we opened the flap, we'd fish around inside the dog's innards to see if we can't find what it was. The act wasn't violent, the dogs were calm and seemed happy even. The woman then said she once found a bag full of 50 gold pieces one time, even in my dream it left me perplexed
Dreams are highly subjective and can have various interpretations. However, I can offer some possible meanings for elements in your dream:
Knight-Errant/Fantasy Novel Figure: This could represent a desire for adventure, bravery, or a longing for a more exciting or purposeful life.
Small, Mousy Woman: This character might symbolize your own introspective or cautious side. She could represent qualities of vulnerability, resourcefulness, or a need for companionship.
Gathered Dogs: Dogs often symbolize loyalty, protection, and friendship. In this context, they may represent gathering or searching for support or guidance in your search for something important.
Opening Skin Flaps in Dogs' Stomachs: This action can be seen as a metaphorical exploration of deep emotions or hidden aspects of yourself. It might suggest a desire to uncover something buried within yourself or to gain insight into a situation.
The Woman Finding 50 Gold Pieces: This could reflect a longing or desire for material wealth, or it could symbolize the discovery of hidden treasures within yourself or your environment. It may leave you perplexed because it represents something unexpected or unattainable in waking life.
Overall, this dream seems to highlight a quest for something meaningful, symbolized by the knight-errant figure. The presence of the mousy woman and the dogs suggests the importance of companionship and support in this endeavor. The act of exploring the dogs' innards could represent a need for introspection and self-reflection. The mention of finding gold pieces might point to a longing for material or metaphorical abundance. However, remember that dreams are specific to each individual, so personal experiences and emotions should be considered for a more accurate interpretation.
