Thread: What do these dream signs mean?

Reading through my dream journal, I noticed a few recurring themes. I couldn't find any article about dream signs containing what I'm looking for, and I find these signs... well, "unsettling" is the wrong word, but peculiar.

So there are three of them. First off, stripy, orange cats. Whenever these appear, they demand my attention. Once I found a wounded one and spent the dream looking for help, in another I searched for my cat who my brother threw out the window, and in a lucid dream I was frequently interrupted by them breaking through the walls to distract me, and I wasn't good enough at controlling my dreams to make them go away.

Next there's the devil. I'm not religious and have no fear of the devil, though he's still a recognizable symbol to most of us, religious or not.
His role tends to be motivating me to do different deeds. At one point he brought me to a room where my family was tied up, telling me to kill them, but another time he was way less harmful. I was then running really fast in a semi-lucid dream trying to escape my family as they wouldn't leave me be while I tried to gain higher lucidity. The devil then showed up floating in front of me, cheering me on and telling me to go faster. When I did, he gave me some kind of tool in reward. I can't remember what it was, though. Then I sank back into non-lucidity and the dream turned into a strange mess.

The latest time he appeared I was going to a school I had never been to with completely unfamiliar classmates. The devil was the bus driver, stopping me when I stepped on the bus. He then said "I am always watching from behind, kid. Judging you. Remember that."
Then a boy eagerly walked up to him and started listing his bad deeds, and the devil listened politely.

Finally, eyes. They are the most confusing to me, because unlike the other two I can't see a pattern in their role in each dream. That is, except in two.

In the first one there is a cult promising people that if they buy their doors, which are blue and have a big eye painted on them, and put them in their homes, they will gain great wealth for each person who crosses their doorstep and is then killed by the home's owner.

In another, there is a different cult that I wish to join. The leader then gives me a book and says that I may join them, but only if I can answer his question: "Which eye in this book am I thinking of?"
I flip through the pages, looking at the different eyes. Ordinary, reptilian, otherwordly, all kinds. When I finally pick one out, the cult leader says that it was a trick question. The eye he was thinking of is not in the book.

In a different dream, I see a kid take pictures of me with his phone. I get mad and take the phone away from him. When I then try to delete the pictures, I realize that I'm not in them. Where I was standing, there are masses of big, floating eyeballs. In my accepting state of dreaming I merely shrug it off and delete the pictures anyway, though.

Any idea what these signs mean? I got a feeling they are important somehow, and any suggestions would be appreciated.
