Dream Interpretation / Grilled cats
« on: August 04, 2021, 04:19:30 PM »
I usually feel pretty good about interpreting my own dreams but this one has me puzzled and a bit disturbed. Help would be appreciated.
I dreamt I was walking around to the back of my childhood house and saw that someone had grilled a cat. It wasn’t quite dead. The white stripes on the tail stood out prominently to me and I feared it was my cat. I wouldn’t let it be cat so after rationalizing it away I felt better but was still concerned that I needed to do something to put the cat out of it’s misery. I didn’t want to even though I knew it would be a mercy. I went to get someone or something to do it with and when I came back there was what appeared to be another cat, bigger and fully dead. It looked like a sleeping cat charred black. I woke up just as I was wondering why whoever roasted it hadn’t eaten it before leaving.
After journaling and considering some suggested meanings, all that came to me is this could possibly be related to the feelings I’ve been having towards a friend who used to be a romantic relationship. I’m annoyed that he seems to be pining over the past even though he chose not to pursue anything more than friendship. I don’t understand why someone would pine over something they rejected and continue to reject. It seems like a weak connection but it’s all I came up with. I’d appreciate other possibilities/insights. Also, I don’t know if it’s useful but my mom died a few months ago and I have also felt “homeless” in a way since then. Thanks, J
