Strange Cat Dream!!

I couldn't help it, I had to take a nap.  Not much sleep last night.
Anyway, I read entirely too much rpca LOL  All this talk of how many cats to
be owned by must have triggered this.

I dreamt I still had Persia, of course.  And another little white and orange
cat which only appeared once in the dream - and was named Peaches! :)  Now,
this didn't take place in my apartment but in a house I've never seen
before.  Apparently my mother lived there too, and my brother.  It was a BIG
house.  Mom and I went out for a walk and came across a scrawny solid black
cat.  We just knew it was 'homeless'.  Mom said "Bring her home, what's one
more cat?"  So we brought the cat home.

The 'scene' switched to me putting cans of cheap cat food in the cupboard
and instructing my mom and brother not to give it to Persia because of her
prescription diet needs.  Mom asked how we'd keep Persia from eating it.  I
said I'd feed the black cat (named PING!) in the den since Persia never goes
in there.  Oh, and a clock on the wall of the kitchen kept running backwards
at high speed randomly and then would start running normally again.  Mom
thought the new cat had something to do with it.

Then I started thinking, I need to email Magic Mood Jeep and tell her I have
a cat named Ping, too!  Then I fretted, will she get upset with me for
stealing the name of her cat?

All the while this was going on, we were all cooking (don't know why).  My
brother was preparing all sorts of breakfast stuff and had invited friends
over.  I'd made some sort of turkey loaves (3 of them) and was planning to
make dressing and gravy.  My brother remarked that was weird for breakfast
and I said no, silly, it's for dinner.  Mom had already started making
something else for dinner.  The kitchen was HUGE and had professional
multiple ovens.

Yes, I read rpca entirely too much.  <G>

Both rpca and rec.food.cooking, I think, Jill. Since you were having
dreams about cats and professional kitchens with many ovens. =o) Once
or twice, I've had very realistic dreams like that, and I'll wake up
thinking that I have to solve some problem that came up in the dream,
until I realize it WAS a dream.

Could be, although it could also be our reaction to troll posts :)

I was a bit disoriented when I woke up and convinced I needed to email MMJ -
took me a minute to realize I don't have 3 cats, let alone one named Ping :)

This is really coincidental.  You dreamed Peaches was a cat and last
night I dreamed that Oliver was a bird--a Penguin!  There must be a
disturbance in the force, LOL!  Actually the whole dream was weird.  I
saw a plane crash into lake Superior and then I saw the navy in canoes
out on the lake.  The canoes were painted battle ship gray.  When the
navy saw us they started chasing us and Steve said to get the animals.
I saw a bunch of penguins on the beach and didn't know which one was
Oliver so I called him and one of the penguins flew into my arms.  I
knew it was Oliver.  Now he has the right coloring but why a penguin (a
flying penguin at that) and why the navy was chasing me in battle ship
gray canoes I have no idea.  Weird!  At least yours sounded like it had
good food!

Dreams are definitely strange things.  I can attribute the multiple cats
thing to reading rpca.  And I love to cook (although I've never made a
turkey loaf in my life - don't even know what would go in one!).  But I
can't tell you why Oliver was a flying penguin or why the navy was after you
guys.

Maybe you're being "directed" to develop a turkey loaf recipe so next
year when the food editors come to you for TGiving leftover ideas you
will have a new and exciting use for turkey?

You can suggest peaches (the fruit) as an side dish as an inside joke.  :-)

Turkey Peach Loaf????

Well... it WOULD be new. =o) But I'd recommend keeping the peaches for
dessert.

Jill, I had a weird bad dream last night, too.  I posted it to
catslaves just a while before I read this.

I'll repost but it was disturbing and I hope it doesn't come back
tonight.
"
Last night/this morning I had a recurring nightmare about
Scarlett, only I was calling her Bonnie in the dream.  Some of it
is sketchy, but it seems I was living on a platform really high up
and the furries were indoor-outdoor cats.  The dream came back one
more time (for a rerun?) after I woke up with night sweats yelling
for Bonnie (Scarlett) because she was walking on a narrow beam and
lost her balance and fell to distances unknown down below. After
the second reoccurance I woke up to stay. Calling for Scarlett and
she of course came running to snuggle me in bed. Bonnie was
already there, so maybe I yelled out "Bonnie" before I woke up.

What a dream.

Mine wasn't a bad dream, just odd.  I often wonder, too, why I dream about
living in houses I've never seen before.  I seem perfectly comfortable in
them, like I've been there for years.

Cheryl, I sure hope that dream doesn't come back!  Scary.

Your Bonnie Scarlet dream made me smile, because for years now
if I have dreamed of my Sister{the one that died a year ago} or my
Daughter,I can't seem to differentiate between them, and when I
mention the dreams to my Daughter, I always say 'I dreamed of
Sheila Dianne last night.' and funnily enough I always dream I;m working
at one or other of the jobs I've held during my years of working, I wish
this wasn't so, I've worked all my life, and now I'm retired, I do not wish
to be always working in my dreams Grrrr.   Jean.P.

Don't you just hate that! <G>  I'm retired too and seem to dream about
work two or three times a week.  The funny thing about my work dreams
is that I'm working in Chicago.  I've never done anything in Chicago
but pass through a few times on my way to somewhere else.

Maybe you would subconciously have liked to work there
at one of your passing through times, I do hate these dreams
cause I never had an easy job they were always hard work.
still you gotta laugh.   Jean.P.

I've been stuck at home recovering from various colds a lot lately,
and I'm finding that after a few days without being able to do
anything, I actually do miss work.  Maybe there's something about the
organized purpose that you do miss, even though you don't miss the
specifics?

Then again, there are certainly plenty of things I could do with
myself if I weren't sick, and I know that my parents are busier now
that they're retired than they ever were before; both are active in
the community and are constantly out with friends, or visiting friends
in other states.  As their "retiree" business card says, "Livin' large
and lovin' it."  I hope I have as much fun when I'm retired.

LOL I wouldn't either, Jean. Luckily, that dream hasn't recurred
for me. It's neat that your daughter reminds you of your sister.
One of my nephews reminds me of Eric. Though, I don't get to see
him much. His father has custody, but my sister is working on that.  
It is uncanny how much he looks like Eric at that age. And his
demeaner is almost exactly the same, too.

I wouldn't get upset about a *black* cat named *Ping*, maybe a siamese... or
if it were named *Weeble*... Then *my* poor Weebs would have a broken heart
as his dear sweet Persia had dumped him for *another* :(

Awwwww!  Assure Weebles Persia would never throw him over for another black
kitty!  She loves her online boyfriend Weebs :)

I got the impression Ping was a female black kitty, anyway.  Aren't dreams
weird?

Well, now if *that* ain't weird... the night before Ping made his (very
verbal) appearance at our house, we had watched the Disney movie "Mulan".
In it, the main character, Mulan, disguises herself as a male and takes her
(ailing) father's place in the Emporor's army.  The name she chose for her
male disguise is was Ping.  DH called the cat that, but I wanted to call him
Frank (as in Sinatra, ol' blue-eyes himself), and Ping stuck to him like
superglue.
