Symbolic Tabby Dreams

I don't put a lot of stock in dreams. But my hubby-Mr B-who is of (crazy) Irish ancestry-puts great stock & emphasis in dreams. So much so that dreams are often a topic of intense conversation & speculation at family dinners. Mind you-I am usually rolling my eyes in open exasperation & disbelief. And now even my sons make it a point to tell me in vivid detail about their dreams-in spite of the fact that I am usually totally tuned out while they do so. But last night I had a dream. And in this dream I discovered a sweet, abandoned tabby kitten. And of course I had to take her home-and keep it a secret from Mr B-who is the voice of feline reason and has expressly forbidden kitty litter to enter his house. So today when I ended up in the pet section at Wal Mart (to escape my Latin stalker-see earlier posting) this tabby dream came hurtling back to my conscious awareness. Because what home is complete without a fat tabby in residence? And by the way- her tabby name was Elsa. So I'm predicting this tabby dream has meaning and symbolic importance. I just wonder what Mr B is gonna say about this dream at dinner tonight???

  1. There's a great online dream dictionary--don't know the site name. I just google it! You should see what tabby cats REALLY mean!
