Hellhounds in a cemetary

I dreamed I was walking by a cemetary at night, and two evil hounds were barking at me from the other side of the fence. I think their eyes were red. I looked these aspects up, but with multiple possible meanings for each, the final meaning seems like a needle in a haystack. Was wondering if anyone else experienced something similar, and what you got from it. My suspicions are there are evil entities that are upset at me for my dog's remains being placed where he remains.

I occasionally have dreams featuring hostile or 'evil' dogs; some large and others small and yippy.  They usually serve 'guardian' or obstacle style roles, and wish to prevent me in reaching certain non-physical goals or locations.  Several times in the astral mindset I've encountered such dogs, that try to bite and snap at me, though I'm generally able to fly high enough to avoid them. 

I can't speak for your own interpenetration of the dream, as it's quite personal, and not within my range of experience.  Your description reminds me of the myth of Cerberus, the 3-headed dog that guards the Greek underworld.  After all, your dogs were just behind the gates to a cemetery, a symbolic 'realm of the dead', and seemed to be protecting it.  Perhaps these dogs are the guardians/obstacles/fears separating your waking world from the world of the dead/astral plane?

I wonder if the hinderance is myself. I was born into Christianity, from which I've adopted fears of the occult, (AP and non Christian communion being one of the taboos) and I often find obstacles when breaking away.

You assessment is likely more accurate than anything I could come up with about you, so it's worth considering. 

Remember this; your beliefs are fears are NOT you, just something you've experienced and are holding on to.  Observe them, acknowledge them and integrate them.  Dreams, I've found, are a great way to do this.
