Watching a stranger kill a kitten

I was in my Wal-Mart parking lot late at night on my way to my boyfriend's car when I saw a dark van pull up. A man was driving. He opened the side door and a cute little puppy ran out. The puppy looked similar to a piglet though. He was running around happily and wanted to play. I was happy at first but then got the feeling that the puppy should go back to the man or he would be left behind. Then I realized that the man was trying to ditch the puppy. The man then pulled out a cute fluffy kitten, and I realized he was trying to get rid of the kitten too. He held a thick needle and the kitten’s collar in his hand. He then demonstrated how he could shove the needle through a hole in the kitten’s collar to kill the cat without being suspected. He never knew I was watching him. Then he put down a piece of cloth on the ground and began poking the needle in and out of the cloth repeatedly. The kitten was interested and started playing and tapping the needle happily as it moved. When the kitten went in to bite the needle, the man shoved it through the collar and into the kitten’s neck. I watched as the kitten was viciously murdered. I couldn't do anything to stop it and woke up crying.


In real life, im a 19 year old girl from America. I live with my boyfriend and work at Wal-Mart. I have been overly stressed lately between work and college. I know kittens can sometimes represent a womans sexuality, so I will mention that I am afraid of sex and therefor have a very stressed sex life with my Bf. otherwise we are very happy together and have a fantastic relationship.
I don't know who the man was, but he reminded me of an evil father you would see on a drama movie who wants to kill his unwanted kids. the dream was very disturbing to me. in the dream I kept wanting to save the kitten but it was over too fast for me to react and I was too afraid of the evil man to get close.

I am going to go by the assumption that the dreamer usually can interpret own dreams best, and thus if you say the kitten represents sexuality and the man represents a father figure, my question to you is: could it be that somehow your fear of sex is connected to your fear of your father or of a father figure?

Note: before reading your post I never knew that kittens can represent sexuality, so that is your idea not mine, but as I said, I do believe dreamers often know best how to interpret their dreams, plus if you already knew that kittens represent sex before you had ths dream, then your mind could easily have used that knowledge for this dream.
