The German shepherd, a guard and working dog, is read as vigilance, duty and protection. Dream books link it to someone who watches over you, or to your own watchful side.
Has this come up in your dreams before? What was going on in your life then?
My Cosmic Code has a private dream journal. Write a dream down and the app picks out the symbols in it, shows what dream books say about them and, over time, which words recur across your entries. The journal is stored on your device only.
