last night i dreamt that i was at my parents house. no one was around, just me. it was sort of a grey overcast day. i was in the backyard and there were 2 dead wolves that some animal had killed. for whatever reason, i ate one of the wolves. the meat was cooked and very tasty. while i was eating it, i was on guard, as if expecting that the animal might return and i might have to runaway if it caught me eating the meat. i was being paranoid.
as soon as i finished, i ran inside the house and began locking all doors and any possible entry way. i felt like i knew that the animal would know that it was me who ate the wolf and kill me for it. i didnt see anything at first, but eventually i saw the tail end of a black panther move around the corner of the house. i ran toward the door in the driection it was headed to make sure it was locked tight. upon trying to lock the door, i discovered that it would not stay shut! in a panic, i kept trying to lock it but to no avail. i opened the door a crack for a quick peek to see where the panther was, and it was sitting a few feet away from the door. it didnt look like it was about to do anything, but i grew more crazed with panic when i saw it. the door was not locking so i leaned against it with all my might so that the panther would not be able to get in if it pounced at the door. however, the panther never did anything but continue to sit and wait. then the alarm went off and i awoke.
there seems to be a lot of symbolism in this dream, but i havent quite pieced it all together yet. ive noticed that many of my dreams take place at my parents house since i have moved out. im sure that's some sort of safety/security thing.
