Having A Child

Every once in a while i'll get this dream where i have a kid... even though i'm not pregnant in reality, or even thinking about it.

This child is always a girl, and always very smart and loving. and i love her. She is small, like 3 or 4, but talks with a vocabulary of a 15 year old. In my dream i know that i am a good parent and i like the dream.

The dream that i had last night had something to do with little kittens and there was one kitten that i picked that had a green eye and a blue eye. I raised it, and then it turned into my human child. I knew this because my little girl had one green eye and one blue eye.


What could this dream mean?

Oh yea, i jsut remember another part in my dream:

There was a part in my dream where this little girl of mine was looking at a chandelier, a very big and impressive one; and she asked me about it and i told her what it was. i said "that's a chandelier" and she was just so amuzed with it. I don't know if that's very important, but it was totally random and i thought i'd add it.

So yea, i've had a couple dreams where i have a child sometimes it's an infant, other times it's a toddler, but it's always very loving and intelligent...

Any help on this one?

Also: i've had a couple dreams where kittens turn into people... No idea what that means either

Dream of pregnancy/having child are quite common among girls.

The child is you. Now entering the threshold of adulthood you realise that you have not entirely rid yourself of the little girl that you have consciously tried to outgrow and cast off. The dream reminds you that this integrating of your child self and your adult self is a process that has yet to achieve completion. Hence the vocabulary of the 15 year old which is an approximation of your current age. Be that as it may the image is dual in meaning and symbolises in turn your initiation into womanhood. Dreams often serve a compensatory function and point to that which is being ignored - your pride in your parenthood may be a sign that you have been negelecting your inner life. Your unconscious longing for self-love shows itself in this way.


I cannot emphasise enough how tentative this interpretation is. One cannot interpret without the active participation of the dreamer.

....to continue Kittens/Cats tend to symbolise the mysterious, the unknown, the feminine, wisdom and occassionally vengeance. Dual eye coloured cats are considered rare and magical. Not impossibly rare though - I used to have a cat with one green and one blue eye - so it is possible that you may have seen one in conscious life. There is an obvious female flavour that comes across in this dream. The awakening of your latent feminine power is suggested here. This upsurge of feminity represented by the pregnancy, the cat symbols and the magical eyes, contrast with the immaturity of the child and the the kittens - representing at once budding womanhood and childhood resistance.


Or maybe you just like cats and babies :wink:

I have to say i like your interpretation, although it was a little hard to understand because your choice of words are not what i'm used to.... Anyway i got the point, and i like it...
