Thread: A Black Cat and a Hawk

Hello. I'm new here and was wondering if anyone could help.

I woke up a little while ago from a dream in which I was outside behind my grandmother's house with a contestant from the current season of Big Brother, Ian. I don't know him, and the only importance he serves in my life is that I want him to win. Anyway, we were looking at the base of the tree into an old tire that was laying there, I think for a piece of trash we'd seen, when Ian grabbed my arm and started running toward the back door of the house. I was really confused so asked him what was wrong, and he said that inside of the tire there was a baby bird.

I couldn't see the baby bird as we were running away, but as I looked back, I saw a big black bird, (which we called a hawk, but I'm not sure if it was one) land on the ground and start running toward us. It was then I realized that we had disturbed the hawk's nest and it was angry.

The hawk was gaining on us, and was very close to attacking me by the time we reached the back door, when a black cat attacked the bird, saving me. The cat didn't seem to be an adult, but it looked older than a kitten. It was strange to watch the cat take down a bird probable a third bigger than it was. For a second, the cat and I locked eyes. It felt really familiar. I've never had an all black cat, but I did have a black cat with white paws that ran away a few years ago.

So, after I managed to get the door closed and locked, we started laughing and then I woke up.

I tend to have a lot of vivid dreams, but this dream really had me curious, so I wanted to know if I could get any insight on what it could mean.

I've read separate things about black cats and birds/hawks, but never anything about them together, and certainly not anything about them attacking anything or each other.
