Fox dream?
So I'll make it quick.The dream was me in the mountains it was covered in heavy snow but the weather is calm and it's sunny.A pack of foxes all run down in hostile motion but keep going down after I didn't do anything.The last one stopped...it was all orange with a werid gradient blue on it's back...it was growling and very hostile till I put my hand out and slowly moved to it it snuggled into my arms and shedded a tear.
Now I know that's really werid n random
I also don't think foxes run in packs and growl but could someone help me understand because according to Google its saying foxes mean lies or something and I really don't agree with that so thanks!!

I had sex with a fox, what could this mean?
I (f) had a weird dream last night. I was at my boyfriends parents and one of my coworkers was there (in real life I don’t really like him but he’s the only man in my age -we’re under 30-so we talk sometimes). We went to the garage, talked a bit then we started to have sex. While doing it he turned into a fox and said something like see you later then he left. In the evening we would have met so I wanted to wear something pretty. The clothes from my bag was all over the ground. I thought it was him and he did it to make me hurt. First I thought great I can have an affair with someone else occasionally, then I started to see bright and was thinking about how will I tell this to my boyfriend then I woke up.

What does it mean to dream of a fox turning into a human?
I had a dream that a fox came into my room and turned into a person. I interacted with this person, they happened to be a boy, and they ended up making me open up emotionally. They tried to get close to me, and in the end I was extremely frustrated and mad that they tried to get close to me and said "get the fuck out". The "fox person" wasn't offended, and turned back into a fox and fled from the house. The fox was a beautiful light orange color, like a pastel orange and when he left my room he was in the sunlight which made his pelt glow.
My guardian seen the fox and thought it was so cool that one was in my room, but I gave little regard for it, as I was frustrated that this fox had tried to make me open up.
I ended up hanging out with a few of my relatives, such as my aunty and my cousin. And in the midst of this, I checked my phone.
I logged in to my old instagram account, and I discovered that my boyfriend had used my old account to text this girl that I know. (I'm not close to the girl, I haven't talked to her in months) They were sending pictures, texts, and voice messages back and forth. Often they were very flirty, and I discovered that he was cheating on me.
Then, I got a text from another girl that I know, and she texted me saying that "my man" had been trying to get with her. She sent me an audio of my boyfriend saying "yeah don't worry I'll be there in like 19 minutes".
What bothered me in the dream was that my boyfriend hadn't been answering my calls, even though I was calling him all night. Yet, he was making time for these people.
I left my aunty and cousin, went into bed, and started crying uncontrollably.
I feel like the fox person signifies something important in the dream, but I don't understand what it could be. I was wondering if anyone could help me interpret this dream?

Dream about a white fox
Last night I dreamed I had escaped from somewhere with a white fox, carrying it in my arms. We traveled through a desert with patches of grass and bushes. I think I was also carrying a backpack with random stuff. I can't remember what was in it. The last thing I remember was we took refuge in a woman's shed. I think the woman had 2 or 3 kids. I think I ended up releasing the fox into the desert before I woke up, but I can't recall.
Does this mean something?
