THE DREAM I was annoyed at a cat which was messing in my garden. I hit it hard and felt guilty about it. Then I was upstairs and I felt this really eerie presence. I felt as if there was someone inside my house.

THE REALITY The dreamer had recently been abused by a man in a park. He was just minding his own business when this man shouted at him. This had happened before. The previous day he went to the police about it. They agreed it was out of order.

DREAM INTERPRETATION If something big happens the day before then it can certainly cause dreams. If the incident is big enough you can assume that any dreams will be about this one incident. Its easy to see how this dream could represent the dreamers feelings.

The cat would represent the dreamers annoyance. He was annoyed about the cats in the same way that he was annoyed about the man abusing him. The eerie feeling and presence would symbolize how the man had really got to him.

The interesting part of the dream is about the feeling of guilt. This probably gives away the dreams meaning. When we go to the police we are very much thinking about our actions. We ask ourselves little questions. Are we justified? Have we over reacted? The dreamer had pondered these questions whilst talking with a friend the previous day. The police had also made the dreamer feel justified in making a complaint.

Dream Dictionary Meanings
CAT : "The cat annoys the dreamer in the same way as the man annoyed him."
GUILTY : "The dreamer is wondering if his actions were justified. If he over reacted. Yet a talk with a friend the day before made him feel justified."
EERIE : "The abuse the dreamer received was a real intrusion. It really got to him. In the same way a ghostly presence would."

DREAM MEANING The dream captures the following feeling within the dreamer - "This man was shouting at me across a park recently. Yesterday I went to the police about it. I was just minding my own business. I feel really justified in this. He will get cautioned. If he does it again he will get banged up."

May be the dream has a different meaning. Perhaps the dreamer is putting himself in the abusive mans shoes. If he was doing what the abusive man was doing then he would feel guilt. So perhaps the dream captures these thoughts "If I had abused someone in the same way that this man has then I would feel guilt. However, he never seems to feel guilty and thats the difference between me and him."
