    So this was disturbing. It was a nightmare not in a fearful sense, but the contents of the dream caused me great discomfort, even upon waking.

    I had a dream that for reasons unknown to me, I was supposed to move a dog and 2 cats from a cage they were in, to a blanket outside on the grass. It was horrific because they were sliced in half, yet still ALIVE AND BREATHING, their two halves only hanging on by their spine, which was not cut. So as I'm holding the cats i feel their two halves in various weights shifting up and down in my grasp but they're light so I kept them pretty steady. At one point when I returned for the dog, one of the cats got up and was trying to walk and his guts were slowly drooping out. The dog, being heavier was insanely disturbing and depressing to move because I couldn't seem to find a balance in his two halves, they just kept shifting up and down between my arms and his wiggling was not helping.



    I wanted nothing more than to kill them to put them out of their misery, but I just couldn't sum up the ability to do it. I woke up feeling nauseous and with a greater sense and urge for living with a vegetarian or vegan diet. The dogs whimpers still haunt me.

      I've had many disturbing dreams with animals sliced, slashed, with flesh and skin bursting and spilling their guts out.... It is always awful. But then, things like these happen all the time, every day, around the globe. I think it's just your mind getting acquainted with the suffering of the animals out there. It's their cry for help. You should really consider stop contributing to their pain in whatever ways you can! I'm vegetarian for 10 years and I do all I can to help all animals in distress. These nightmares still visit me sometimes, but at least I have my conscience clear that I'm not directly responsible for this pain in the world I see in my dreams. It makes a big difference on how I then feel on waking up.

      That is some very insightful advice Mayatara, I hadn't thought of it that way, thank you.

      It would make sense because I've recently been trying (instead of just planning or hoping) to go vegan, or at least vegetarian, while also using more organic products and things that will cause less harm to the overall environment (which too effects them). After reading your comment, I felt as if I had an epiphany or synchronicity in understanding, that perhaps my intentions to do these things have tuned my mind to pick up their cries and have subconsciously had them projected to me in a dream.

      While I'm not entirely sure if that's what you meant or if you meant it on a much more basic and non mystical level. But either way I thank you for giving me a better understanding of this dream and leaving my mind with a greater sense of urgency to help these animals, while at the same time giving me peace of mind in knowing that my efforts aren't going to waste.
