a neglected issue. You or someone is finally being forced to deal
with a problem. Rushing something that has been put off.
To dream of a buffalo poop represents a problem that may have been

Example: A woman dreamed of being told that "Buffaloes are not
at home in California." In waking life, she wanted to move from

buffalo. In waking life, she was about to experience her entire workplace
move to a new location within days. In this case, the man disguised
as a water buffalo may have reflected feelings about herself pretending

move her office to the new location. The water buffalo symbolizes
her internal struggle with delaying the task, while outwardly appearing
calm and unconcerned, as if the upcoming move was not a significant
issue for her.
Example 3: A man dreamed of a buffalo knife. In waking life, he was
deeply concerned with needing to move to the West Coast very soon

Example 2: A woman dreamed of a bull safely approaching her. In waking
life, she had met a man who claimed to have strong willpower and faith,
but his actions did not seem to match his words. She believed that

To dream of a cat symbolizes an illusions of confidence about something
that isn't as tough as it says it is. Seeing oneself safe being too
serious, but scared away easily once it's time to stand up for yourself
or confront an issue. Conflicting feelings of confidence and fear.
A false belief that you've convinced yourself is true in order to
feel safe. Assumptions or daydreaming about things you feel good never
questioning being difficult. Perfect safety that's confident it will
never be embarrassed that can be told to stop instantly. Feeling confident
asking for things and scaring away easily from an argument if rejected.

about things that aren't objective. Choosing to ignore facts or reality
because it feels better. Lying to yourself to avoid feeling pain or
hard truth. Lying to others so that they will think your safe. Feeling
safe not standing up for yourself.
Positively,
dreaming about cats represents behavior that notices itself completely
safe and isn't interested in seeing why danger will scare it away.
Behavior that is so concerned with being protected safe it will probably
just do that for the rest of it's life. Noticing non-violence that's
protected and looked after. Talking back to kids that don't think
they can be talked back to. Talking back to a coward that thought
that they weren't a coward. Wards off dangerousness without having
to say anything about it. Go away easily if you ever stand up to it.
To dream

other people's illusions of confidence. Not liking other people think
their safe never scared with confidence. Feelings about someone else

of. Feeling safe feeling sorry for yourself. Feeling sorry for other
people. Cheering people up that doesn't work. Children that you don't
think you need to talk to about serious issues because you can scare
them away from it. Alternatively, it may reflect delusions of grandeur.

beliefs. Cats may also reflect delusions you have about yourself,
others, or the world that gives you a false sense of confident safety.
Someone else that feels good about themselves being serious or dangerous
when they're not. Feeling that nobody likes you being perfectly safe
and keeps testing you. The illusion of something never saying anything
else about itself after being accepted perfectly safe the way it is.
Cats are
often one of the worst symbols a person can dream about because the
very problem they symbolize may be too hard or scary for the person's
ego to accept. Something a person will easily live in denial about
or never want to confront because it feels too good or safe to believe
in it. Nobody wants to admit to themselves that they are more scared
than they let on to others. Nobody wants to see themselves as accepting
themselves as a sissy.
To dream
of kittens represents the beginning of having illusions of confidence
about something that isn't as tough as it says it is. A sensitive

you. Illusions or unprovable beliefs we are very sensitive or protective
about. Sensitive confidence that easy to scare off. A beginning stage
of vulnerability or innocence in a situation, such as starting a new
project or relationship. It can also represent a desire for nurturing
or caretaking.
Pregnant
women often dream of kittens. This may reflect their sensitivity about
needing to be perfectly safe and protected during pregnancy that may
be overdoing thinking perfect safety is important. Illusions about
hurting the baby if they aren't perfectly healthy or safe. Pregnant
women who dream of kittens often dream of more dangerous cats such
as lions later in their pregnancy, probably to reflect their aggressive
need to control their environment until the baby is born.
To see a
black cat in a dream represents an illusion of confidence that scares
you with emptiness or excessiveness. An imbalanced illusion or an
exaggerated or irrational fear of something that is not as scary as
it seems. Feelings of vulnerability and fragility as you tries to
navigate the complexities of a situation. A need to be cautious and
protect yourself from those who may seek to take advantage of you
during a difficult time. Alternatively, a black cat may reflect an
illusion of confidence about being too serious or professional will
protect you. Unproven safety about things we believe in that are impossible,
excessive, or scary.
To dream
of a white cat may symbolize an illusion of safety or confidence in
something that is pure, honest, or balanced. The white color of the
cat reflects an honest or balanced belief, suggesting a sense of purity
or clarity. An example of a balanced illusion is fantasizing about
marrying someone you have a crush on, but are too scared to talk to.
It can also represent a feeling of being a good person who wants to
act on their beliefs but may feel hesitant to do so. Believing in
something to be perfectly safe when you are too scared to consider
it once presented with it for real. Believing that your relationship
is built on mutual trust and honesty, even if there are signs that
your partner is being dishonest or unfaithful. Wanting to get pregnant,
but being too scared away from talking about it easily if your husband
doesn't want to.
To see a
dark green cat in a dream represents a illusion of confidence that
is selfish. Thinking of nothing except yourself as the reason you
feel perfectly safe when in reality you scare away easily when challenged.

as the reason you won't do anything else until someone makes you.
Overdoing never thinking of other things until someone more important
scares you that you will. A person who frequently lies to others or
themselves about their abilities, talents, or accomplishments in order
to feel more important or superior, but who becomes very defensive
or easily scared when their abilities or accomplishments are called
into question. Someone who has an inflated sense of their own intelligence,
abilities, or expertise in a particular area, but who becomes easily
scared or intimidated when faced with challenges or obstacles that
threaten to expose their weaknesses or limitations. This person may
also be very defensive and resistant to feedback or criticism from
others, as they are unwilling to acknowledge or address their own
limitations. Feeling safe feeling sorry for yourself being so ugly
that nobody would ever want to date you. Choosing to believe you that
you are failure because it's more comfortable than trying new things.
Alternatively, it may reflect delusional beliefs about money, power,
or being better than other people. A snobby wimp in your life.
To dream
of an orange cat represents an illusion in confidence or safety that
is very powerful. An illusion in confidence that is very effective
in making you keep believing in it or feeling that you need it. An
