Last night’s dreams were chaotic and involved my cat again.
Now, after two decades and a bit of obsessive moggy-related dreams I have finally figured out that the cat in the dream is in fact *scoop* Me; and that’s considering that I don’t subscribe a 100% to the popular theory that every character in your dreams is actually you.
Under cat disguise, I have done the following things in dreams:
*struggled out of my own arms and tried to run away in crazy traffic, and risked getting flattened (a constant since I was about 7)
*puked up a gigantic heap of yellow, lumpy substance not unlike Covent Garden’s soup Company, the smoked haddock chowder variety.
*Filled up a room with explosive diarrhoea.
At this point I would like to say I’m so sorry about the references to unsavoury bodily functions. But science demands certain sacrifices, you know.
So; why such excretions in my dreams?
It would be easy to jump to conclusions and say that I’m simply full of shit; but not only would it be not very nice, wouldn’t it be pure blasphemy in the face of the well of wisdom that is dream analysis? Yes, it would.
Well I do have a theory, but I don’t feel like going into it for now. End of the Freudian moment. Thank you for listening.

Number of worrying things here:
1. Your cat is like a fat version of my cats. Would you like one (or two) new cats? (Serious offer)
2. I've been eating that soup lately, and also having squits. Related?
3. On Monday morning, I woke at half four from a nightmare where I'd been stabbing anorthern old lady to death, and delighting in the fel of her blood and guts on my fingers. It took an hour of hug to feel better about slicing up innocent old ladies whom I don't even know. And now you tell me that old lady was me? Brrrrr.

OK, not knowing how you feel about cats, I can only offer my best guess. You value your independance above all, even if it costs you emotionally. You dislike being controlled. There is something that you are really sick of right now and want to get it out of your head. There is something in your life that you need to be rid of, you need to "dump it" and walk away from it.
Does the puking make you feel ill, or do you feel satisfied when you are sick? Same with the diarrhoea. How do you feel at that moment? Relief? Disgust?
My consultation fees are very reasonable! :P

Reading this has put me right off my Pot Noodle!

Vee: I would love another cat or five, but if I even considered it my moggy would go on a hunger strike- what am I saying, he'd never! but sulk and trash the place, yep. Too spoiled.
As to your stabbing old ladies, I considered it for a while and can't come up with any satisfying explanation. I don't have enough info there. But yuck.
Cyberesque: hey, pretty good! And the puking is actually very satisfying in the dream, and the cat does seem to feel better in the end.
B: I had that same old crap dream dictionary you have and I only remember that dreaming that you lost a tooth meant either fortune or imminent death, I forget which. So they're no good and I chucked mine. Better post your dreams on your blog and wait for clever people to come up with explanations.
Hmmm... it...
Hang on, why can't i just take the easy way out?
You're simply full of shit
Yay! that WAS quite easy. thanks.
Sal - you're just jealous cos I *clearly* have more interesting dreams than you do.
There.
Well if puking is satisfying and the cat feels better afterward then you probably realise that you need to remove yourself from the person/situation/thing that you are sick of in real life. It/he/she clearly "doesn't agree with you".
I accept cheques, credit cards, chocolate!:)

That makes it sound like it's an allergy..
I don't think there is anyone I need to get away from right now. Maybe it's just symbolic of some general sorting out/Spring cleaning that's taking place?
What kind of chocolate do you like, C?
Oh, and, Jacqui - I am so sorry about the Pot Noodle.
On more than one account.
