Claw dream meaning is explained below using 6 different sources. Each interpretation is shown with its source.
Interpretation 1 — Klaus Vollmar
The fear of the animalistic. Also, “claw” implies grabbing. It can represent the dreamer’s own wild and greedy grabbing for a world that he is either “dreaming” about or is actually living. Is the animal threatening you with its claw?
However, the claw could just as easily be a “healthy” sign if you are very timid. It might, however, suggest that you need to control your greed instead of living it out.

Interpretation 2 — Martha Clarke
As in other dreams, this one has not a single one interpretation: if it is a bird’s claw, you will have serious difficulties carrying out your projects; if it is a feline’s claw you will suffer a little upset with family; and if it is a dog’s or wolf’s one someone close to you will spread gossip about you.
