| Cats! |
I have to say that this dream really confused me at first. It took a
while before I found the pun -- the key to the interpretation.
The Dream
I am standing outside on a patio or deck with some people -- it's
seems to be a party. We go through a sliding glass door and
into the house. I am mingling with these people and then I see
cats. I start saying to everyone, "Who let the cats in. Get the
cats out." I see a number of cats, big cats and baby cats, all
over the house. I pick one up, open the sliding glass door and
throw it outside. I'm going around the house trying to catch the
cats and keep saying, "Get the cats out". I catch another and
throw it out the door. Someone asks, "How can you be so cruel,
it might get hurt". I say, "It's OK, cats always land on their feet."
I look outside and the cat I just threw out is on its feet and
walking away. I wake up.
The Symbols
People in dreams often reflect different parts of yourself. Going
through a door can signify a change from one condition or
circumstance to another. Cats have several meanings in
dreams including, magic, intuition, femininity and sexuality. In
addition. None of these seem to fit.
The Interpretation
At first, this dream had me dumbfounded. None of the
interpretations for cats that I could think of seemed to fit the
dream or anything happening in my life. Then it hit me -- cats
are called "kitties" or "kits" -- which sounds like "kiddies" or
"kids". I started laughing. Babies at this point in my life is
downright laughable. Then I remembered the fact that I'm
throwing the cats out -- and suddenly it all made sense -- and I
laughed even harder. My youngest son was 19 at the time and
all I've been saying since he graduated from HS last June is -- "I
can't wait for him to get a good job and move out."
So here is the interpretation:
I am standing outside. I go through the door. I interpret this as
the change that I am about to go through in my life - that of
being a mother to being a single woman alone (YIPPEE!!!). In
this case, I believe the door being made of glass is also
significant -- you can see through glass; so the glass door is
suggesting that I "see" this change coming. I believe the
people are me in the different roles I've played in my life --
child, wife, mother, career woman, single woman, etc. I am at a
party (celebrating these role changes) with these people. I see
the cats and I want them out. I pick one up and throw it out -- no
problem, my oldest (25) has been on his own for quite a while
now. I pick up the second and throw it out and someone asks
how I can be so cruel (to want to throw your kid out). This is not
an unreasonable question, as most mothers don't look forward
to their kids leaving home. They continue with, "It might get
hurt." (After all, he is still just a baby.) And my answer is, "Don't
worry, cats always land on their feet". So, I know that he will be
all right on his own.
I believe the dream makes it quite clear that I am really, really
looking forward to finally being alone.
My Action Plan
This dream was simply telling me that I am looking forward to my
future. There is no action plan needed as a result of
interpreting this dream.
