I had a dream about a cat last night. A dusty grey fiend that was semi-kitten, semi-adult, very defiant, mouthy and troublesome. I felt upset about the dream when I woke up and was left feeling many emotions, fear being the main one.
The interesting thing about the dream was that the cat could talk. I googled ‘dream interpretations’ immediately and apparently talking animals symbolised superior wisdom & a desire to express something in real life whilst cats represented female eroticism, creativity, independence and a repressed desire for freedom.
The whole dream was based around me thinking there was something wrong with the cat and that it must be carried by me everywhere until I could get to my Father’s house in Greece, where it would be contained and safe. I kept it close to my stomach under my shirt until its fur got damp and matted from perspiration, then I would have to move it around. At some point it would get limp and I would freak out that I’d hurt it- then it would yowl again and I would struggle to regain control of it. The cat was quite mean and resentful of me. It was talking at me the whole time, complaining that I never let it be free and that it was uncomfortable in its current condition. I was very afraid of it escaping. The dream involved much stress as I tried to run about the city finding the cat a safe home. I was so scared to let it go.
I feared it because I could not control it.
It wriggled so much.
My heart beat fast the whole night long.
You can never tell a cat what to do.
Q: Have any of your dreams ever been genuinely symbolic of a situation/ an event going on in your life?
