SAVING CAT FROM DROWNING

Yesterday I had the weirdest dream. I dreamt that I was cycling through my neighbourhood known to me when I was a child, on my old rickety bicycle, where I chanced upon a river. Surprisingly, the water in the river was clear despite all the rubbish floating.

I saw a white furball struggling trying to get out from the river. It was a cat. It didn’t purr but it was asking for help. “Help me! Help me! HELP!”.

I rubbed my eyes, thinking I was seeing things. It was indeed a cat asking for help. Without hesitation, I dived into the river to save the cat.

Upon approaching the cat, it snarled at me; getting ready to claw me. I told the cat – “Yo Buddy! I am here to help you! Don’t snarl at me!” and gently shove the cat to the bank of the river. I got out from the river, all drenched. Miraculously, the cat was dried instantly and it walked away.

There were some series of intermittent dreams thereafter which I couldn’t really recall.

I decided to google and find out the meaning of this dream.

Cat

To see a cat in your dream, signifies much misfortune, treachery, and bad luck. However, for the cat lover, cats signifies an independent spirit, feminine sexuality, creativity, and power. If the cat is aggressive, then it suggests that you are having problems with the feminine aspect of yourself.

To dream that a cat is biting you, symbolizes the devouring female. Perhaps you are taking and taking without giving. You may be expressing some fear or frustration especially when something is not going as planned.

To dream that you chase the cat away, signifies that you will overcome your obstacles.

To see a white cat in your dream, denotes that you are going through difficult times.

Drowning

To dream that you are drowning, signifies that you are overwhelmed by emotions or repressed issues that is coming back to haunt you. You may be proceeding too quickly in trying to discover your unconscious thoughts. If you drown to death, your relationship will fail or you will suffer major business losses. If your survive the drowning, then your relationship will be rescued by some intervention. You will rise to a higher position of wealth and honor.

To see someone drowning in your dream, suggests that you are becoming too deeply involved in something that is beyond your control. Alternatively, it represents a sense of loss in your own identity. You are unable to differentiate who you are anymore.

My interpretation:

I am going through difficult times with the sudden change in my life (New job? New friends?). I am all stressed out. I became emotionally involved in something that I could not control – which made me lost in the sea of emotional turmoil.

I think I am having some sort of a relationship problem – nothing romantic though. It was something to do with work or family or friends.

Some friends are envious as they always see me happy – as if there is nothing in this world would be bothering me. Most of the time – I appear to be this way because I chose to. At times, whenever there is a nagging problem, I would try to sleep on it and hoping it would be better the next day. Some problems just don’t go away with the snap of fingers. I understand how one could be depressed over problems or issues that are beyond their control.

Whenever I am upset, it is usually visible and loud. Friends commented that I am a temperamental person (tell me - which woman is not?) but as soon as the volcano stop erupting, things would be the way they used to be. I am quite vocal when it comes to handling my emotions. I believe in letting the emotions break loose rather than bottling them inside, which would lead to further frustrations or worse – sicknesses.

To end this post with a high note, as I always have, I guess I need to access on what I really want in this life, and plan strategically. I cannot be always sweeping things under the carpet, hoping the problems would take care by themselves or would go away someday.

For the time being, I just hope my friends would be able to tolerate my mood swings!
