What do dreams mean?

I am one who never remembers a dream. I can count the times I have but not even the when, but I know the last time was almost 20 years ago.


Last week I had a dream that my old boss asked me to break into a house. I actually do not know why I was breaking in, but I know that I did not use my own car, I parked in the driveway, got into the house and was greeted by a cat.  The cat followed me from room to room and was friendly.  I was getting ready to leave when a woman came home and I ran out the door, jumped in the car and left.

Of course, I woke up puzzled, not sure of the meaning and more unsure of why I was remembering the dream.

Last night I had almost the same dream.  This time I used the same car but parked on a hill near a tree, a few houses down. I do not know the house, but I know I went to the same house, and more of a risk, at the same time and was again greeted by the cat. This time the woman came home and I provided an explanation that I was there on business. I explined to her I was asked to come by to look for something (and now I have no idea what) and told her why.  I then ran and went to the car and was stopped by hospital security.

I was then rudely interrupted by my husband to let me know it was raining out and it was 4 am with the windows open. 

We have been cat sitting for the week, which means going into someone's  home while they are not home.  I'm sure this plays into the dream, but where does the old boss come from, why the hospital reference and who was the woman?  She was the same in both dreams as was the cat (and it was not marble, the cat we are sitting for). hmmmmmmmmmmm. interesting, very interesting.

Summer musings

Another summer has gone by and I have written very little.  It has been a busy summer but more importantly hot and steamy.
