In this case, the idiom is literal. Howling at the moon is simply a poeticway to describe dogs, wolves, coyotes howling at night. There is no other meaning. It is to be taken at face value and to be appreciatedfor it's inherent beauty. If you have ever been out in the middleof nowhere and heard the howling of a lone dog, you know that it isterrifying,liberating and above all else, The phrase doesn't needto be given extra symbolism. Just remember to listen.... Show More
