What does it mean to dream of felines?

Since ancient times cats have always been seen as an animal that brings good luck and abundance. In many cultures these creatures were venerated as sacred animals, for example in ancient Egypt we have the goddess Bastet whose head was a feline. In Japan we have the "Maneki Neko" which represents a kitten with its paw raised, which is an amulet of good luck and money.

In dreams it is not much different, felines convey the idea of luck, inner power, female sexuality, independence and spirituality and feelings to the surface. They can also represent your true inner self and everything you keep to yourself, but do not want to admit or put out.

To dream of cats in different conditions

During dreams felines can appear in different ways, performing some action or not. Whether fighting, attacking or even appearing caged or dead. Below we will talk more about each of these types of dreams and their meanings.

To dream of fighting felines

To dream of two felines fighting means that you will run and fight for what you want. It is time to get out of the comfort zone and think of strategies to achieve what you dream, it can be a new job, a rise in position, passing the dream college etc.

If in your dream the two animals were fighting with their claws to attack each other, it is a warning from your subconscious that you should think about why you have been so stressed lately. Maybe it can even be for a silly reason, but whatever the reason, try to root it out. A good rest, and moments of peace and leisure can also help you to reduce your tension.

To dream of caged felines

Caged felines in a dream represent your love relationship which is being abusive and toxic. Like the caged animals, you also feel trapped by a controlling and obsessed partner. It may be that you have allowed yourself to be controlled by this person due to your own behavior which your partner may have misjudged.

The best thing to do is to come to an agreement and have a conversation in which you can explain both parties.

To dream of dead felines

So do not give up, this dream tells you to continue to give it your all, because in the future you will get everything you deserve.

To dream of attacking felines

If in your dream there were felines attacking you, this implies that you may have someone in your circle of friends who is unreliable or is treacherous. Be careful about your friendships and with whom you relate. Not everyone appears to be what they really are, so keep an eye on the behavior and speech of the people with whom you live.

If you suspect something, try to keep your distance from the person. The sooner you discover the cheaters, the less headache you will have in the future.
