According to psychologists, during sleep, the brain processes a huge amount of information received by a person during the last 24 hours. At the same time, sometimes dreams may be completely unrelated to any events that happened in reality - perhaps these are the so-called prophetic dreams.
Since ancient times, cats in many countries have been considered special animals and even deified. Gradually, this attitude influenced the interpretation of dreams - according to this opinion, which is quite common, for example, in the countries of the East, any dream in which a cat or cat flashed can automatically be considered as prophetic. Naturally, it is very difficult to both confirm and refute this statement.
Difficulties in interpreting dreams about cats
Different dream books tend to interpret plots with cats and cats rather contradictory, however, there are a number of general opinions on how such dreams can be interpreted. In particular, the color of the animal and its behavior - light and white cats are considered a better omen than their counterparts of other shades and stripes.
Sometimes a meeting with a cat in a dream, which a young man saw, can promise him a meeting with a mysterious, independent and wayward lady - those who like to compare themselves with "a cat that walks by itself."
Dreams of this kind can be interpreted quite simply - just like the signs associated with cats. For example, an animal washing itself can be a harbinger of soon guests, and most likely they will be nice people.
But if in a dream a cat runs away from an angry dog (dogs are often associated with friends), a person can interpret this as a warning: you cannot deceive your loved ones, because friends may not forgive this and leave forever. If a small kitten is trying to escape from dogs, especially if he climbed a tree, this may be an advice to be more careful.
Cat and mouse
A cat that catches mice is also not the most pleasant interpretation - a person who saw her may feel anxiety in the very near future, and life can hardly be called joyful. The cunning and intrigues of secret enemies and ill-wishers are usually cited as the causes of these problems.
A cat guarding a mouse at a mink can be a warning: perhaps, soon someone from a close circle, or even a loved one, may try to deceive.
If a cat in a dream pounces on a person and even scratches, this promises big problems, and the stronger the pain and fear, the more painful the experiences will be.
If a cat with a caught mouse goes to his fellows to boast, this may mean the excessive vanity of the person who had such a dream. However, there is another interpretation, when the braggart cat warns of vain friends or acquaintances who can subsequently bring trouble.
