I had a dream that I was in some kind of shack with my partner H, his mom, and my kid( she wasn't visible in the dream, but I had called out to her, implying she was there).

It started with H kicking out some dogs that somehow got in, or were already in the place as we arrived. I had just gotten off the phone with one of my best friends and finished doing something akin to baby sitting. Next thing I knew, different types of cats with deformities were showing up. There was tall grass in this place, as if no one had been in here for a while. I even saw another set of people, not sure if they belonged there, or they were like us, or what happened.

H's mom opened the front door (she and I do not talk because we do not get along), and shooed some cats outside. I was concerned that our cat would accidentally get lost by running out (she was not visible in this dream either). I wanted to keep a cat from the bunch as a companion for our cat, but my partner said no, especially not the one I pointed at, which turned out to have three or four eyes.

I called my kid to bring me the broom, but I found it and picked it up. Used it to sweep out the remaining cats out of the place.

Just confused in general of what it means. The dream is low key freaking me out.

Hi MetalAphrodite,
Do you feel like a "deformed cat" someone (i.e. H's mom) doesn't want "inside"? Do you entertain any doubt concerning which side H takes? Or perhaps you feel this issue relates to someone else, maybe your kid? What are your ideas concerning this scene in the dream? Your baby-sitting could refer to your motherhood, and both your kid and cat being there but not apparent may hint a connection. Perhaps the "missing", unseen part is the center around which the dream revolves. What do you think?

Before/during/after the dream, not particularly. It was just an interesting thing. I've been thinking a lot about family since having moved. Idk if that contributed to my dreaming state.

I've had problems with H's mom that I felt were more about her connection with H, rather than having to deal with me as a person. I just became the name and face to blame this feeling on.

It's kind of funny because H told me the day after I had this dream that his mom called and asked when she moved residences could she take his cat as her companion. He was saying that he would miss his cat and that means he would have to visit more. I told H he's a knucklehead, as he should be visiting his mom more anyway.

I wonder if my kid and our cat missing from the dream represented trying to shield them from this kind of trouble. Both were negatively affected by the argument between H's mom and me. H was negatively affected as well, but his mom was clearly the aggressor. He refused to see this at first, but realized that she was going out of her way to deliberately harass me.

I wonder if the cats relate to a lot of different emotions you are trying to handle about situation with H?

Do you feel that it's not okay to have some of the feelings? Like there's something wrong about asserting what YOU like, what YOU want to do?

(feeling some anger, and your right to feel angry isn't being received? you sweep it away, under the rug?)

Are there old senses of anger that you feel it's 'okay' to let go of now? That it is good and ready that you let that alllll go, for your healing? Like a purging of old things that really-truly contentedly ARE ready to leave your habits of thinking?

Time for this????

Let it go....

I definitely relate to this and what Ayelet was saying.

I've been on and off upset with her for what she did for the past few months. I never wanted our relationship to be like that. I know it wasn't anything I did that made her act that way, only her.

I will work on letting that go and straightening out my life to make it less complicated.

Hello MetalAphrodite

Adding to what Ayelet and mirage are saying …

The shack symbolizes the state of some situation or relationship in your life, one that is run-down or uncared for, and definitely ignored (tall grass/no one had been here for a while).

The dogs and cats probably represent masculine and feminine energies, likely yours.

The dogs could represent masculine energies/aspects such as assertiveness, aggressiveness, protection, safety, etc. They can also represent loyalty or unconditional love.

Why do you suppose H is removing masculine aspects/energies from this “shack”/situation? If these aspects/energies are yours it would be like having some of your power taken away.

The cats could represent feminine aspects/energies such as nurturing, creativity, receptivity, etc. They can also represent independence, playfulness, or sexual energies.

Why do you suppose they are deformed? What does this say about you, the situation, or a relationship?

It is interesting that you want to keep one of the mutant cats but acquiesce/give in and actually assist in sweeping them out. Can you think of something this could relate to?

What does H’s mom have to do with these masculine and feminine energies being pushed around, and the dynamic between her, your partner, and yourself?

Just some thoughts.
