I woke up having had a succession of dreams about (mainly) vulnerable abused animals. I have just left a very emotionally verbally and psychologically abusive relationship and have not yet faced that with therapy so I’m sure that has something to do with it but I’d still like some help interpreting the dreams if anyone would like to offer some guidance


Lots of cats are in my house, some were quite neglected and dirty and it made me feel uneasy. One was small and black and I said ah look at the good girl, then she morphed into a human with lots of dry sleep in her eyes and told me she likes being in the house because it’s so cold outside and she has no owners. I said how old are you and someone said 5. (In real life I have a cat and there are lots of strays outside I sometimes thing about)

I am near a well with my Mom and 2 birds fly into the well, I can see their feathers near the top of the well and it makes me feel uneasy.

A lovely little poodle with almost human features comes over to say hi. There are other animals there and I feel their encouragement to say hello. The poodle smiles at me and lies on its back, it’s neck is just a flimsy string. An emotionless teenager walks over and stands on its neck and I feel very upset.

A little monkey is lying on a bed and looks just to have been born. It seems very human and can say mama, it has a teddy and seems happy. Suddenly the teddy is taken off him and a mask is put on him that not only deafens him but blinds him and he screams mammy mama over and over looking for help. It is really distressing to witness.

Any thoughts would be great, I woke up very anxious and upset.
