Strange cat dreams
I have a few recurring dreams but it never involved cats until recently. A few weeks ago I dreamt that I was somewhere in Mexico and apparently we were at war with what looked like Nazis but I have no idea what they really were. Someone planted bombs all over and houses started falling down, including one whole wall of our house. The "enemy" marched into our house, gave me some sort of uniform I had to wear, and asked me to follow them. The only thing I could think of grabbing before leaving the place was our black cat. I picked him up and walked out, the dudes were waiting for me and in sign language (cause they spoke something else, whether I could understand or not I can't remember) they told me I could not take the cat. They took him off my arms -quite gently, if I might add- and kinda put air in his brain or something. I have seen cows dropping dead in seconds from this procedure, but my cat took a while to die. I stood there until he stopped purring, and his eyes went all funny... I think of it and still get tears in my eyes. I woke up feeling SO distressed, the first thing I did was give him the biggest of hugs. Heh, he looked all pissed off after my sudden outburst of affection, but oh well... ;)
The second dream also involved me being evacuated from some building, only this time I had to go into some sort of spaceship. In my dream, everything turned green and that was the sign of "ok this place will blow up in like 10 secs so RUN". I ran out and into the spaceship, feeling like shit because I had left my cats behind. However, the spaceship stalled and we just kinda landed back on the floor, and a mob of angry people showed up (I guess we were running away from them, no idea) anyway, the plan failed so I had to get out of the ship... and noticed that the building had failed to blew up. I went back inside and had to make a decision which cat to take with me, and with almost no hesitation at all, I picked up the black one, leaving the kitten there to die.
I wrapped him in a blanket as a "taco" and just ran for it, stopping at a food stand to ask for some meat that I could feed him. I remember I was crying a lot in the dream as well.
I woke up shortly after, this time feeling guilty about leaving the kitten behind in my dream, so it was her turn to be cuddled to death. ;)
