Thread: therian dream

Hi! Interesting background.
I am just in weird mood this morning of having fun interpreting dreams. So I decided to help you out, but keep in mind that this is speculation on my part and the answers to your dreams are within you.

Dreams represent your inner self--basically your subconscious levels of mind that reflect your ideals, emotions, expectations, fantasies, and fears, etc.

Your dream comes across to me as if your mind is expanding on your feelings of yourself and how you view yourself. You admit to having that side of an animal-like mind. Your dream may be simply showing you your thoughts. As for the mother and baby cub and the dream of you protecting the girl seem to coincide. It can be viewed at at two different angles:

1.) You view yourself as a protector. (mother cat)
2.) You actually need a protector in your life. You crave or want to be protected. (the little girl/cat cub)

You must find the answer on your own with this one.

As for the cats looking intelligent is a reflection of your view of yourself since you again feel that part of your mind is part of this type of animal.

As for the cub being on the left--that depends on your knowledge of cliches in society...I suppose. When one is on the right--it means like an advisor, right-handed man. On the left is viewed 'sinister'. A left-handed person in the past was always looked down upon as can never be as good as the right-handed person. Hence could also explain being less confident.

Now you said it was a mother cat and then said it was a 'him'. This might show you are actually represented by #2 above with regarding the protection.

The animals coming human might represent that they representing human traits especially the human trait of 'protecting'. This seems a common theme in this dream and the other. You should really question this in regards to your life.

The secret of course has something to do with your life. That you must find on your own.

I hope this helps a bit

Thanks for replying! That does make some sense. Actually, the mother/cub was my first impression, but as I looked closer it was actually two different species. A genet looks feline, but it's actually more closely related to a mongoose. *shrug* I don't know if that would change much though, it still seemed to look up to the cat.I hadn't really thought about them both being conflicting sides of my personality, but I guess that would make sense. I had actually considered the possibility of the genet being a second therioside, but they seemed to be more human than animal and I had never experienced anything else that would lead me to that conclusion so I don't think that is it....

As I said--the interpretation is somewhere within you. You know more about yourself and you talking about your dream is helping you figure it out and figure yourself out even more so. I can definitely see that you are actually doing just that

This dream being so vivid to you does show it has its importance. A lot of my dreams reflect day's events. Then you get those dreams that are very weird and sincere. You just know it. You feel it. I would embrace this dream and consider it with regards to getting to know yourself ^_^

Heh, yeah, just wish it was easier to figure out! I do appreciate the insight though, an outside perspective can be helpful too. Especially to prompt a novel direction of interpretation.
This is actually my favorite dream even if I don't know exactly what's behind it yet.
