Cats
Dream
Our friend, Natalie is living in a large, magnificent Art Deco Mansion. She is away and I am staying there looking after her cats. She has an older ginger and white cat, plus a smokey grey kitten. The older cat is very aloof and avoids people, the kitten is just a puff ball of joyous bliss. Loves attention. I go out for a walk alone. The house is built on a high ridge and overlooks the Woden Valley in Canberra. There is a long staircase down to the street.
Upon my return I discover a side door, made of perspex, with a hole cut out so the cats can use it as a cat door. There is a brick that sits in the hole space to block it when required. But the brick has been removed and a local tabby cat and the ginger cat are having a stand-off either side of the door.
I enter the house and I am greeted by the kitten.
Dream notes and associations
Have had a number of dreams about Natalie and her cats and the plague of marmoset's dream. Natalie lives in an old Victorian Home. Penny and I love Art Deco.
Woden Valley was the location of my bread runs.
My feelings throughout the dream and on awakening
joyous bliss, stand-off, aloof
Hi Lindsay, what a delightful dream! The kitten reminds me of the puppies in ‘Waiting for Martina’. Interesting to note the stand off in contrast to the puff ball of joyous bliss.
Thanks Martina. The cats bear no resemblance to any of Natalie’s cats, past of present. The ginger and white cat reminds me of the cat in the Pandora’s Glovebox dream. Natalie lives on the western side of her suburb, where the houses are a mixture of Victorian and Federation styles. On the eastern side of her suburb there are art deco buildings to be found.
