Dream Interpretation Jackal | Dream Meanings
The jackal, or wild dog, in your dream is a warning symbol and shows that you may be being used by a friend, or friends, to further their own careers and leave yours in the dust; such people are known as jackals because they ‘feed’ off of you.
The warning is doubled if the jackal in your dream is your dream pet, or excessively friendly.
