Killing animals, bad dreams

In view of your other thread asking who cares if animals suffer, questioning why any of "us" DO care, I have concerns about this post.

Do you or have you abused animals - or children?

You have me very concerned. http://www.askmehelpdesk.com/dogs/just-me-437813.html

No, its not like that all. Did you not read my whole post, I have been very scared concerning something health wise for me.... I don't abuse animals.. And when I asked why you cared, I did not mean you shouldn't care,

Thanks for the help but if you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all.

I'm sorry you are having such horrible nighmares. I don't know what it means. Maybe once you have resolved your health issue, you'll have good dreams again. Sometimes some medications can cause strange or disturbing dreams.

Two things - no need for text speak and if you continue to use it your posts will be removed.

And don't attempt to direct how your questions will be answered. If you post it expect what you have written to be read and answered as anyone else reading the Board sees fit.

Please read the rules of the site.

And let's go back to my original question - how old are you?

I'm sorry you have had such a bad experience on this site. A lot of times when the only form of communication is the written word, things are misunderstood, and responses are based on the misunderstanding... Which causes a reaction to the response to the misunderstanding which starts a vicious cycle of inappropriate responses that cause hard feelings.

That being said, I know how disturbing nightmares can be. Having dreams that are violent does not mean you are a violent person. Dreaming that you have kicked a dog or broke an animal's neck does not mean you are an animal abuser. However because you are an animal lover, dreaming that you are hurting or killing animals is especially distressing, naturally. Even the best dreamers don't have complete control over what they dream, or how they respond to situations in their dreams.

I have had the same dream. It is not a good one. I have two cats that I love more than any person in the world. It was kind of the same anyway. I dreamed that it meant to hurt me and I was trying to kill it but I couldn't and once I had hurt the cat pretty brutally I realized it didn't mean to hurt me at all and I felt intense guilt and sadness. Anyhow this is not a good dream. And it does mean something. And it does not mean that you are a serial killer or some kind of animal abusing monster. It means that you are feeling betrayed and overwhelmed, and that you are losing emotional control. In some cultures cats represent your feminine side, but it really depends on what the cat represents to you personally. Usually hurting a small adorable thing in a dream simply means, you feel betrayed, you have been betrayed, you are being being betrayed or you will soon be. So sorry about the bad news, but it's not a good dream to have. But knowing should help you on the road to not having it ever again. Good luck, hope that helps.

You did read that this person kicked a dog down a flight of stairs, right? I think that MIGHT qualify as an "animal abusing monster."

I read that this person "dreamed" that they kicked a dog down a flight of stairs. And I dreamed that I brutally beat a cat to death and I am not an animal abusing monster. Dreams are not to be taken literally, and if you don't understand that, then maybe you should not be answering questions about them.
