So I tripped across these old dreams ( I had jotted them down) and I thought I would share them with you ( so you can run mad dashingly away as soon as you discover how my mind works bwahahahahaha!).
So yeh these snippets are all from the same night about 2 years ago.
Feel free to give your two centavos.
************************************************** *****
Jerry (my hubby) was home. YAY! We are all hanging out watching movies ( much like I was doing before going to bed). Jerry is under the impression that he needs to do something to help. I get irritated. I pissed him off because I snapped that if he wanted to be useful he could make dinner for 6 or more people because I didna feel like cooking yet again.
Nice huh?
Jay (my roomy/babydaddy)is in the kitchen in a rocker ( wicker to be precise). I was razzing him and shook the chair some. This hurt his hips. So he got up and I thought he was gonna kill me.
WTF?
So I am driving......I have to make it to 38th street. I overshoot my turn so continue on straight. It is raining and this seems to affect my brakes as I barely come to a stop on these steep hills ( why I am trying to get to 38th Street by going all the way downtown is beyond me....damn dream logic). I almost wreck into a few cars.
I totally overshoot my turns and now I am on my way out to Dash Point. In that direction though the clouds are dark and menacing. I mean straight EVIL. Tornado EVIL. Spooky and unpleasant. I do a U-Turn after I make sure the cop is no longer following me ( yeah I had a cop follow me for awhile after that not quite crash). I am no longer in a car. I am on a bicycle. Don't ask. This happens to me all the time in my dreams and seems to make sense at the time. Hell I didna even notice until I had to strap it to my back and run. That comes nextish though.
Anyways I am biking when I pass this wooden fence. There is a cat there ( grey male tabby longhair) and beneath it is a kitten which is being strangled by some blue twine. I go to save the kitten. I thought it was dead but it was na. This folks is where it gets disturbing........
There is another kitten only its a blonde fluffy thing. Real cute and fat. The big male tabby looks at me all content and cat like. That is when I hear a mewing noise and see another blonde kitten with its face shoved and almost stuck in a knot hole of the fence. I help free it. The male tabby looks irritated. To make it's point it grabs a kitten, holds it in a violent choking fashion and snaps it's neck. Then it looks at me with smiles in its eyes. I am shocked and notice in the yard behind the cats a person laying face down in the yard ( male in 30s?) and an elderly lady ( 60's). The male cat is trying to get it's paws on the fluffy fat blond kitten. I am screaming at the lady "You can't let him DO THAT!! HE's gonna kill it!!!" and she replies all worried like with "We've tried you know. There really isn't much we can do with him. It just don't work."
I was living at our old house and our landlord was putting in 15 foot wooden fences and some odd trelliss roofwork over a garden path in the back yard. I thought to myself "finally!" I was not hot on the decorations for it though. All the plants and flowers were fake.
Mh - due to a lack of time right now (I SHOULD be working my a** of right now...but your dream got me!) I will merely concentrate on the "long" one - or at least one aspect of it that was really striking to me!
Hope you remember the situation (or parts of it) you dreamt them in?
For the cats:
A cat in dream usually is your female side - female insight, female sexuality/libido especially - anything female. A cat in trouble makes you "overlooking" a certain part of yourself, or not taking over enough responsibility for yourself. Now let's put that together in your dream.
So obviously you've been at a time where you tried to rescue your female qualities. Plus you must have had the feeling that they are not "grown" enough (kitten!). The big male cat there - he simply does not understand your urge to save (or re-surrect?) your female qualities. The tom might be either your own male side/qualities or "friends" that don't accept you the way you are. From the whole context I'd guess that it's your own male qualities getting in your way. Why? well --
---Fits perfectly with the elderly people lying in the garden. A garden usually represents your inner self. So there are the grown-up parts of yourself, lying down defeated, given up on saving the female selfs of you from the male self, which seems to be a lot bigger and stronger. Still - you "panic" because of that ... so maybe your dream came at a time when you noticed this "incongruity" in your life - or your dream threw you into noticing it.
Does that make any sense to you?
By the way - the last garden-shot...again your inner self. Why do you have someone else put a fence around the path you have found/walked within yourself? What is it that holds you or keeps you from exploring more? Or do you restrict yourself from more or deeper (and genuine) insights?
So much on my side...
Hope you'll be able to make some sense...

Reason: please try to avoid formatting with colors as they make it hard to read sometimes with the lighter colors on other themes.
MoonDancer thank you so much for your insight.
I'm sorry I didn't get back to you sooner on this. I was looking through these entries ( I totally forgot about this dream however reading it brought it all back in vivid color) and I wanted to thank you. At the time the dream didn't make a lot of sense and Iwas trying to make sense of what you said ( I really meant to reply sooner). Looking back on it though it does make sense ( isn't that how most things work though right?).
