Thread: animals dream

Hmm, I may be completely wrong here because I am not "getting" this dream, but a few random thoughts to see if any of it triggers something:

A parrot is known for repeating back to one what one said, so in a sense the parrot is like a mirror. Is it you who are hiding? Are you hard to get a picture of because you are not who you seem maybe? The parrot says he was saved by a cat: a cat is known for self reliance and independence but also stubbornness (herding cats), doing things one's own way. And being saved from that may not be the bast thing necessarily lol. The goat trying to enter through the balcony could also be stubbornness, I guess. The snake may be temptation. Taking pictures is like trying to capture something that may be hard to capture. My mom says that she takes pictures to put memories in her pocket. Some cultures believe taking pictures steals souls. Pictures are anyway an incomplete representation: a snapshot of a moment which does not capture the moment. But you also are taking this picture to help you identify and to help you understand what kind of animal is that? What are you trying to understand and identify about yourself?

I could go on random brainstorming but I do not know whether there is anything of value in my response here: as I said I am not "getting" this dream, so just randomly trying to idea associate to see if something comes out of it, and so far I am not sure whether anything did. Good luck in finding the right interpretation.

Joanna has given good feedback on this. Here's some more that will hopefully help you put it together

I wan in the kitchen {Place of food preparation. What goes into us (eg what we watch on TV, movies, what friends & authority figures say} of my house until I noticed a strange animal {Animals can symbolise our passions}. I went in and out the room as he hide himself {Something that comes to the surface & then perhaps disappears into your subconscious}, and I saw that he was a regular green and yellow parrot but in spite of the tail he had a sort of snake with a "face" at the end {As mentioned perhaps temptation or deception}. I was a bit worried and I asked my father to come {Seeking help from authority figure}, and a goat {stubborn seeking own way as opposed to the way of the fathers} tried to enter from the balcon {INstead of the front door. Not the "right" or "approved" entry point. Often where thieves may come} but didn't. My father {Father's give you protection} coulnd't see him because he had hide {This is some issue your father is not aware of or is oblibious to}, i tried to make photos of him bet in the camera he looked completely different {Note the repitition of things not being as though they seem}. Then appeared a scene where my grandparents hold the parrot that looked now friendly {Is this just in appearance or reality?} to me and he said "I was saved from a cat", I asked him "DId he try to eat you?" and he just repeated that was saved from a cat {Perhaps to make you feel sorry for him}. I asked him "Why do you have this strange tailor?" {Taylors "present" us in clothing to others. Define our appearance. You feel there is something strange here.} I wondered if the snake-looking animal was his child but as soon as he spoke something the dream ended.

As mentioned above parrots repeat back what is said rather than talking from who they are.

Have you started a new relationship recently? If so, I'd suggest taking it very slowly & carefully, not sharing deep things or making yourself vulnerable to that person until they are more exposed themself. If the dream relates to a new relationship, then it could be that things are not as they appear to be.
