While asleep, our minds create all sorts of stories and images. Some signify happiness, others are so frightening that we wake up in the middle of our sleep to contemplate. But have you ever dreamt of something that comes to happen later on in real life? That is how powerful dreams are.<\/p>\n
Some dreams are more than just an illusion; they have some secret messages attached. For instance, dreaming about cats. Have you ever dreamt about cats? What does it mean?<\/p>\n
Dreaming about cats conveys a message about our characters and personalities. More often than not, the dream shows how we connect with that story in real life. For instance, if you have a cat that is normally very calm and relaxed but, in that dream, it jumps all over, it might be a gesture that a fearful part of yourself wants to be more confident.<\/p>\n
There is no general explanation as to what dreams about cats symbolize. Everyone has unique perceptions and characteristics; therefore, what a dream means to me may be completely different from what it does to you. So, the first step to understanding what it means is knowing yourself. On the flip side, however, dreams about cats may not symbolize anything at all. But rarely is this the case.<\/p>\n
Let’s start by looking at the history of cats in different cultures<\/a> around the world.<\/p>\n The Ancient Egyptians were among the first people to domesticate the cat, as early as 3000 BC. They fell in love with the four-legged buddy because they believed it kept away snakes<\/a> and rats. Their love for cats grew enormously until they even started worshipping it. The head of the cat symbolized their goddess Bastet.<\/p>\n In China, a cat was a valuable commodity and was traded for fine silk. Other than that, it was a gesture for good luck, love, and peace. The Japanese also believed that cats would attract good luck. They held the animal in high priority that they even banned its commercialization.<\/p>\n Cats also had a rich heritage in Greece, Rome, India and eventually spread and gained immense popularity world over. Today, cats are part of the household, thanks to their superb cleanliness, among other admirable characters.<\/p>\n
