I carried a Rottweiler in my arms in the dream.

James: “Why are you carrying the dog?”
Me: “I was afraid he might accidentally bite someone. He’s not aggressive, though.”
James: “Put him down. Such a powerful dog shouldn’t be carried in someone’s arms. His place is in the field. Trust your instinct. It’s strong.”

The Rottweiler is the powerful instinct within every woman—the part of her that knows before she can explain why.
She may fear its strength, restrain it, carry it in her arms as though it cannot be trusted. But instinct is not meant to be carried or controlled. It needs ground beneath its feet and space to move.
Once trusted, it becomes a guide and protector—powerful, alert, and fiercely loyal.
