Collie Meaning and Messages

For the most part, Collie symbolism is asking you to come home to yourself. All too often, we get caught up in the drama all around us. Moreover, this spirit animal indicates that this can be to the point where we lose ourselves and who we are. When this happens, we get into a state of reacting instead of acting in our own best interests. Collie symbolism has come to your aid by reminding you that you need to be faithful and true to yourself and your personal goals.

In other words, be sure to re-establish your priorities and stay focused on the present. The Collie meaning is directing you to return to what makes you happy. As a result, this grounding and centeredness will show you exactly what your next decision will be and enable you to take appropriate action.

Alternatively, Collie symbolism may be warning you that you have forgotten who you are. Moreover, you must let go of everyone else’s problems so that you can take care of your own needs and desires. Therefore the Collie meaning is reminding you that it is essential to love and nurture yourself first. There will always be more than enough of you to share if you look after yourself.

Collie Totem, Spirit Animal

People with the Collie totem are the “Good Samaritans” in everyone’s life. They live for service to others and will often forgo their own goals and dreams to help others with theirs. These people are faithful and loyal to their family and peers, and they are also highly intelligent. Collie totem folks always have a good sense of direction. Occasionally, when they choose to, these folks can keep their goals in sight singlemindedly. They have a strong sense of right and wrong and tend to want to correct all the things that they perceive as “wrong.”

Collie Dream Interpretation

When you have a Collie dream in which the dog is traveling or passing through, it signifies that you need to find your way back home spiritually. In other words, you have been giving away too much power to others. You have lost your way because of it. If this dog is in a kennel, then it symbolizes that you are feeling trapped or caged in by some situation or dilemma. The first step to freeing yourself is always the recognition that something needs to change.

Alternatively, if the dog is resting quietly by your side, the dream symbolizes that you are entering a time of peace and contentment with your life. You are now in a position to enjoy the fruits of all your hard work and have come home. If the dog is white in your Collie dream, it is symbolic of a new compelling spiritual awakening within you. Hence you should keep yourself open to receiving guidance from others.
