What does a hound mean in dreams?
1. The traditional interpretation

A dream about a hound can symbolize loyalty, devotion, and companionship, reflecting your relationships with those around you. That's the most simplistic interpretation.
If the hound is friendly, it may indicate a strong bond with a friend or partner. If it's aggressive or chasing you, it could represent a conflict or a betrayal. Being chased by a hound can also symbolize running away from a problem or responsibility. It's a call to confront the issue head-on. Remember, the emotions and context in the dream are as important as the symbols themselves.
A hound is a very deep and multifaceted dream symbol to offer a definitive opinion on. To know without any doubts, I would need to really get to know the dreamer's life story and circumstances.
2. The psychoanalyst's interpretation

Dreaming of a hound, in Freudian terms, may be a representation of the id, the primal part of our psyche that seeks immediate gratification.
With that being said, a hound can be more complicated than that. The hound's pursuit can symbolize our own internal struggle with primal desires or instincts. If you're being chased, it may indicate a repression of these instincts, a fear of succumbing to base desires. The hound's demeanor is crucial; a calm hound may suggest a harmonious relationship with your id, while an aggressive one may signify internal conflict. Remember, dreams are subjective and multi-layered, reflecting not just our conscious thoughts but our unconscious ones as well.0
3. The spiritualist's interpretation

Dreaming of a hound may symbolize your spiritual guide or protector, reflecting your connection with the divine. If the hound is friendly, it suggests a harmonious spiritual journey. If it's aggressive or chasing you, it could signify spiritual trials or tests you need to overcome. Being chased by a hound may symbolize your spiritual awakening, urging you to confront your fears and grow spiritually. The hound's demeanor is a reflection of your spiritual state; a calm hound signifies inner peace, while an aggressive one indicates spiritual turmoil. Remember, dreams are divine messages, providing guidance for your spiritual journey.
