It started with a scene of my mother taking me somewhere by car. We had normal conversations (in real life we often fight). Then I felt like I was waking up (I could feel the blankets and the cold air), but I couldn't. I was back in the dream when I felt an intense, overwhelming sense of deja vu, and I told my mother that. She shrugged and replied "Yeah, you've always been like that".

The dream changed scene. It was at my garage. I was feeding stray cats that stayed there.

Then suddenly I and another person (I can't remember the face, only remember that he/she was a friend) were fighting an invisible person. It was a bad fight, I felt the hatred and the blood thirst radiating from the invisible person. I sprayed water from a hose to locate that person, and stopped when the friend yelled "Stop, he'll melt." I stopped and saw an unknown, naked man with some sort of writhing snakes n vines tattoos covering his shoulder and neck lying on the floor of the garage unconscious. He I stepped forward, preparing to finish him off with my sword, but for some reason decided against it. Just left him there.

The mood of the dream changed.

I was still feeding stray cats when the friend told me they found an unknown cat in the garage. It was a dirty Calico, with a tiny kitten clung to its neck. I proposed bringing the cat to the vet, but it was too close to dying, and we laid it down on a patch of grass, gave it some milk. The kitten clung to it, but disappeared when I turned my back. We tried to find the kitten but couldn't.

Some strangers came, one kept saying that it was my fault I lost the kitten. So a huge argument broke out. I woke up feeling disoriented and ticked off.

Several time during the dream, I "woke", felt myself moved around in the bed, "looked" at myself sleeping...etc.. But I got sucked back into the dream every time.

I think athenegoddess is on the right track.

To me, this dream seems to be about internal change and conflict.

The first scene is a starting point. It reflects parental control/direction/influence (your mother is driving), and how "you've always been".

The stray cats could represent aspects of yourself which have been ignored/forgotten and need your energy (you feed them), or aspects you are outgrowing but still holding on to.

The invisible person could represent an unknown aspect of self which is fighting to emerge, or perhaps repressed energies (anger, fear, bad experience?) that you are fighting to keep away. Either way, there is inner conflict and the aspect/energy remains unconscious (man unconscious).

The unknown cat again represents an unknown aspect of self, or energy, which is trying to emerge (kitten). Again there is inner conflict (huge argument), and again the aspect/energy remains unknown (kitten lost).

I am not sure what is at the root of this dream, and I won't make any suppositions, but there are a lot of opposing energies that could be interpreted in several ways. Male/female (unconscious man/cats). Nurturance or compassion/aggression (feed cats/fighting). "Dirty" calico/"innocent" kitten. There could even be feelings of guilt hinted at, but I'm not sure.

What is changing within you? What are you battling? What are you fighting/struggling with?

Is there something you don't want to deal with? Something you don't want to think about or remember? Or maybe you are simply resisting some of the changes that come with maturing and growth?

What do you think? Any ideas?
