Huge cats called doctrines
Last night i had a weird dream that me and a friend were walking through a field and all of a sudden i saw this huge cat's head! Like as big as a cow's and at first i thought, 'no way, that can't be real' and i asked my friend (the friend that is with me, she is a very intelligent person to me, her vocabulary is like as big as some professors...she's very smart) and i asked her, "is that a cat?" once i realized there were more of them in the field. and she said "yea, they're called doctrines." now the word 'doctrine' i've heard of it, but i never use it in my vocabulary, i don't even think i know what it means. so for it to come up in my dream was kind of weird. And i didn't even know what the word meant off the top of my head, so i looked it up and this was the definition: 1.a particular principle, position taught as a religion or government. 2. a body of teachings; creed
By the way, all of the cat's were black, and friendly. They were like normal cats, only huge. And i remember talking to my neighbors about them, and this discovery was just like something the entire world was going through! and when these "doctrines" (the cats) were first discovered, it was a huge deal that everyone knew they were going to have to adapt to...anyway, i remember i was talking to my neighboors about them and i said "they must be a result from a government experiment gone wrong or something" And they agreed.
What if in the future, weird animals are exposed to us like that. and we just have to adapt to them.
I also had another weird dream about bugs agian. I was in my room spraying it down cuz there were ants in there. There were even like little sand hills in the cracks on the floor...IN MY ROOM...what does this mean, i've been having a lot of dreams about bug invasions lately.

Wow!
I love Cats. You know why? Because Cats made Civilization possible. And so did Moral and Religious Principles. We could not live in Society without Religious and Moral Principles -- Doctrines.
But you know what the Contribution of Cats was? First, a reminder about dogs. Dogs were with Humanity first, but at the pre-civilized level. Dogs helped man on the Hunt -- Indeed, Dogs WERE the hunters at first -- like in a Fox Hunt, or with Bear Baiting -- the dogs did all the work. But Civilization would be different. Civilization would take Humanity from the Meat and Vegatable Diet of the Hunters and Nomads and take the step to Grain, Cereals and Bread. But Rats and othe Rodents would have made that impossible -- first by destroying the grains in the Field, and then attacking the grains held in storage throughout the year. Two necessary implements came along to make Civilization technically feasible -- the Sealed Earthen Pot, which would protect grains in storage, and the Domestic Cat which would protect grain in the field and during the Harvesting Process.
So, in your Dream, Religious and Moral Doctrines are shown to be as Necessary to Civilization as was The Cat.
Incidentally, as well as feeding many outdoor cats (I live upon something of a very wild island) I keep four lovely indoor cats. And I never need to worry about mouse, rat, or even any kind of a bug scurrying over my sleeping body at night. 8 watchful and glowing eyes watch over me, lovingly, each night.
