What does it mean if you dream about an animal that keeps following you?

The animal in your dream represents something in your real life that has the qualities and characteristics of this animal. For example, if the dream is a frightening nightmare in which you are trying to escape this animal, then it represents a problem that you are trying to escape or avoid instead of resolving. On the other hand, if the dream is calm and the animal is cute and friendly, that represents something or someone cute and friendly that accompanies your (or whom you would LIKE to accompany you) in real life.
