Tiger dreams

[bunn]

In last night's dream, the wind blew over the fence of our tiger enclosure and the tigers got out. We lived in an extremely busy city centre, full of bustling people and shops, so this was very bad.  I rushed out to see what was happening, and heard screaming and saw someone being carried away trailing blood from horrible leg wounds.

Wow. Your subconscious really takes the responsibilities of dog ownership seriously! I love how stripy Brythen is transmuted into tigers who haven't really et anyone...

My subconscious was evidently freaked out by yesterday's yellow fog, and I spent the night wandering through a post-apocalyptic landscape, knee-deep in water. Not very restful, thank you, subconscious.

I think that as Brythen became tigers, the local wildlife and livestock became the injured people of the city...

So far as I know, Brythen never *has* menaced livestock, at this time of year I do worry about lambs. He probably wouldn't *mean* to chase them, but if he sneaked through a hedge or under a gate after rabbits, well, anything could happen then :-/

I love this dream, and I'm particularly charmed that the roast chickens from the previous dream were still there. Also v. relieved that the tigers didn't eat anyone.

It was a great relief to find that the screaming was Not My Fault!

I had a dream once about a tiger. In my dream I had called a plumber to fix a leaking sink. When the plumber came he was a tiger. He tried his best to fix the dink. I kept saying 'you are a tiger you know.' He did not seem to get it. He could not really do plumbing because of his paws.

He sounds like a very dutiful tiger - plenty of work ethic, even if hampered by a lack of fingers.

Well, there were three tigers, and there is only one Brythen, whereas we have three cats. And the one that came and pulled at my pocket for chicken did look very much like a giant Henning (the cat that looks most like Turnbull, although of course he is not a Bungle.)

Ah no, only the Bengals are Bungles - partly because the word sounds similar, but also because Bengals are just the clumsiest of cats! Today Yama Bungle was asleep on a desk, for example, and he rolled off it and fell about 3 feet to the floor *without waking up*. Dimwit Bungle.

Your subconscious is very creative, what with the chickens and the jewels!

Years ago, when my house was about to be repossessed, I used to dream every night about tigers roaming about downstairs. Fortunately, like daleks, they couldn't climb the stairs, and I was safe hiding in the bedroom!

Eek! I think your tigers sound a lot darker and more scary than mine.
