I had this dream last night wherein I found myself in sort of a hot, dry land with some people I know in my waking life and there was a cat nursing a litter of kittens. More puzzling is that I tried on a billowing red dress and was asking my friends if the dress suited me well. One of them was even trying to take my picture. I liked the dress but felt it was a bit too much to wear for a regular girls' day out. Also, I found a dead fish in a corner which was really big and another one in another corner. And in the highway, cars and trucks were zooming by, the interiors of which are overflowing with water, like they were submerged. And then I had an awful feeling that the sea overflowed and there was going to be a flood of biblical proportions and all of us are going to be swept away if we don't leave the place that very moment.
When I woke up, all I could think of was me wearing the red dress and wondering what it could mean. The scenario of flooding + red dress led me to an interpretation that I will have my period soon. Could I be right? But how would you explain the dead fish? For as long as I could remember, I always dream about cats, sometimes kittens as well but in different situations. Since the cat in my dream was nursing the kittens, it could only mean that somehow I am nurturing something in my life, or that I am nurtured. The color red, according to a dream dictionary, is "an indication of great passion and sensitivity in my emotional relationships." Any kind of clothing (in this case, the dress), indicates identity; self image; exploration of new roles or rejection of old. This gives me a better understanding of my present career situation and my desire to be accepted in whatever new role I have. Also, death means "end of a cycle; something is finally over". So the dead fish probably represents that one or two aspects in my life is finally over. Or it could also be an omen of disappointment. The backdrop of the dream is similar to a desert, and the closest interpretation of this according to the dream dictionary is isolation; retreat; endurance; or a wish to withdraw from something. This I could understand because I have moments where I feel like retreating to a faraway place all by my lonesome. The flood in my dream could mean a very powerful, or even violent, emotionally cleansing experience. Dream dictionary also tells me that "depending on the content of the dream and my emotional experience in it, the flood could also represent sexuality and be a sexual dream symbol." Whaat?! How could that be?!! Dreams are just so hard to piece together because some symbols could be contradictory to the other symbols! Well, now at least I have a general idea on what my dream meant, or might mean.
