Dreaming of cat
Read two ways. Let them disagree, the truth often sits between.
Artemidorus · Oneirocritica
Drawn up, it speaks of A friendly cat foretells a household at ease and a small cunning that serves you well.
Drawn down, it warns of A scratching or thieving cat warns of a deceitful person close to home, soft-footed and quiet.
Jungian · the collective unconscious
Drawn up, it speaks of The cat is the independent feminine and the instinct that will not be owned, a reminder of the part of you that keeps its own counsel.
Drawn down, it warns of A hostile or hidden cat points to an instinct you have alienated, watching you now from the shadows.
