Being surrounded by animals in a dream occurs when the mind sorts through the many people and duties that fill a life. This imagery organizes the various influences and ties that demand attention and maintenance.
The way these figures appear can shift the focus from stability to tension. When the connections being sorted are perceived as unpredictable or threatening, the dream shows social friction or the presence of people who do not act in good faith. This brings a feeling of vulnerability to the dreamer’s environment.
The presence of these figures signifies that the capacity to navigate one’s social world is active. The mind is simply making sense of the crowd.
A dream of being surrounded by wild animals changes the focus from general social ties to the specific stress of dealing with people who are perceived as hostile or untrustworthy. The brain uses this state to rehearse a response to social conflict or the feeling of being caught in a struggle with rivals.

Owen SterlingInterpreter interprets your dreams
Many people believe a frightening dream announces something, when more often the brain was simply sorting the days just before it. During the night the mind files what was carried over from recent hours, and what gets filed loudest is what was felt most. A rough night leaves a residue by morning that fades with daylight. Nothing was sent. The sleeper was working, and the work is done.
