Christoph,
In the Vita Prima Sancti Bernardi it is written that, whilst pregnant,
Bernard's mother dreams about a dog is barking in her womb. This
is interpreted as the noise Bernard would make with his preaching all over
Europe.
Sorry, I can't remember the precise reference, but it's near the beginning!!
Best wishes,
