nothing special in the dream post, just getting discourse off the top of my blog. this morning i had the fifty millionth iteration of “this cat in my home isn’t actually my cat” dream. this time the dream had an excuse for the infiltration; my mother-in-law was fostering them without bothering to give us a heads up.
before i found that out i’d put them outside, assuming that’s where they came from. then i had to go bring them in again.
there was another animal out there i didn’t recognize at first – a red ruffed lemur. some visual particulars were more like the blue-eyed black lemur, but i was convinced of the former id.
some zoo employees came around and captured the beast, one of whom i recognized as the dude who was feeding them when i went to woodland park zoo irl.
the details of the dream got sloppy before disintegrating. some more unreal creatures were around, roommates i haven’t seen in decades, etc.
what was the last animal you saw in a dream?

Squirrel!
Then I woke up.
uh oh .. i’ve seen iris today, now squirrel mention … trouble’s a-brewin’
Not 100% sure if they were the most recent, but for some reason guinea pigs appear repeatedly in my dreams. My siblings and I had a pet guinea pig as children, but that was close to 40 years ago now.

When I have a dream that makes me wake up, bolt-upright, with a scream on my lips,
I do not permit details of the dream to remain in my memory.
I kinda admire your ability to remember and record your dreams but that is NOT for me.
chi – yikes! sorry you have that. my dad sleeps with the tv on to quell nightmares, fwiw.
spri – aww cavies! they’re cute fuzzy potatoes.
One of my past dogs Thorn, she was very much my dog and I was her human, not many others were even permitted to touch her (she ran or hid). Spent her first six months in a shed after the breeder couldn’t sell. Trusted me to protect her and came to me if she needed to go out or more water or if anything was wrong like she needed snow or stony mud cleaning off her paws. Long haired German Shepherd, with the softest fur, and she allowed a certain amount of cuddling. I sometimes wake up dreaming I’m cuddling her, which is sad but also sort of nice? Because I get to be reminded of how it felt to cuddle her, which was wonderful.
aww! i’m pretty sure i’ve had a dream of getting to snuggle with a deceased pet as well (mochi the cat) – not that often or vividly. sorry and/or that’s nice, as appropriate to where thine heart’s pendulum lies at a given moment.
Last night, I had a dream about an alien man of war (the multi organism jelly fish, not the boat) shifter who was working some cubicle job in their human appearing form along side me and I thought in the dream ‘oh I’m dreaming about a different animal, must tell Bébé’. So I have. Bébé you have made it into my dreams.
aww! i love it.
