Weird Dream
I had a very strange dream. It involved me visiting my parents. I went
downstairs (they don't have a downstairs!) and I saw a big pretty fluffy tortie. I picked the cat up and carried it upstairs. What's this, I asked? Dad replied, "That's Jonathan. He's not feeling very well, we'll have to take him to the vet." What's strange about this? Dad wouldn't be owned by a cat if his life depended on it. Mom is indifferent to them. Neither of them want pets of any kind. They live vicariously through photos of mine. I wonder why I'd dream they have a cat? Jill -- I used to have a handle on life...but it broke off. |

Jo LOL Mom knows I'm a tad old to begin producing children. Lord knows they had enough trouble with my now 22 year old nephew; I don't think they would want more! Jill |

I wonder why I'd dream they have a cat? Jill My amateur psychologist take on this: John is your long lost love, right? The Tortie represents John. You found him in the dream just like your found him in real life and it has been a beautiful pleasant surprise. But you also know that your parents might have ambiguous feelings about John and especially your Dad who feels annoyed when you travel with John. John is coming to visit you and you have a certain amount of anxiety about that so your parents represent that anxiety and the fact that the cat wasn't well and needs to go to the vet is your anxiety over the fact that your Dad has voiced a certain amount of disapproval. Or alternately for that last part it is your literal anxiety over John's health which has been giving him problems for the last year or so. And if I misremembered John's name and it is really Ed well, then...I don't know. :-) -- Margaret Fine |

I told my mom I'm going out of town but I don't dare mention it to my dad. In his eyes I'm still a little girl... yeah, this "little girl" is going through menopause LOL I also keep dreaming about my ex- and in every dream he criticises me and treats me badly (not that he ever really treated me badly, just sort of ignored me like I was a cat toy to be played with if he decided he wanted to). I think those dreams are telling me I'm HAPPY now!! Jill |
