Dreaming of a cat

Cats move through dreams as they move through life: on their own terms. A friendly cat suggests ease with your self-possessed side; a hissing or vanishing one, a boundary being tested or ignored — yours or someone else's.

The cat-headed goddess keeps the home joyful and guarded; the love goddess's chariot is drawn by cats, fierce and soft at once. If a cat crosses your dream, ask where you need softer company — or sharper boundaries.

Dream meanings are reflective, not medical or predictive. If a dream troubles you often, be gentle with yourself — and talk to someone you trust.
