Hi all,
Last night a rather strange thing happened. As my partner & I were driffting off to sleep, we woke up at the same time (he saysI made a noise & woke him &I say it's the other way around)
On awaking, I was startled to see a black cat infront of me (or so I thought) I called out "oh my god theres a cat in here!" to which my partner said "you saw it too? a black cat drinking water"
It was weird, it seems that we both awoke within the same few seconds & both in our half sleep/awake state saw a black cat drinking water. I wouldn't have normally thought anything of it but it got my attention because it happened to both of us at the same time.
Any thoughts on what it was/could mean? Some interpretations I've found online don't sound too positive [&:](death, destruction, that sorta thing lol) so I'd rather get some further input on it.
Thanks
SS

RE: Black cat symbolism?
Hi SS
does it feel more like a dream or an apperition (sp) to you. With you saying that a noise woke both you & your husband up make me think that it wasn't so much a dream, theres so much magickal mystery with cats;)

Cats and the Afterlife
- In Japan, there is a myth that cats turn into super spirits when they die. According to the Buddhist religion, the body of the cat is the temporary resting place of the soul of very spiritual people.
- Some people believe that cats engage in astral travel even in life. They also believe that if a cat adopts you, it will stay with you forever, even after death.
- Back in ancient days, the Druids thought black cats were human beings. These humans in cat form were being punished for evil deeds

RE: Black cat symbolism?
Thanks forthe infoAmy 🙂 I wonder if I could find out more about what it was, or if it was a coincidence, a sign of some sort or just something in passing.
I asked my partner about it early today & he said he as dreaming it really vividly, when he woke up but I *saw" it after I woke up, but both happened at the same time[&:] Oh, he also said in his dream there were two black dogs in the distance somewhere. (We got a black lab 6 weeks ago so maybe that's relevant)
I have never owned a cat & neither has my partner, so I don't think it's to do with that.
As I said, most of the interpretations I read online were about looming negative occurences, but a couple also said something about an unsuspected financial gain (which probably means through inheritance through the death of someone). (My horoscope today said the same thing about unsuspecting financial gain) It's a long shot but I've bought three tickets for tonights lottery :Dso at least there's an outlet for it as opposed to someone dying first!
Love & Light

RE: Black cat symbolism?
Well I didn't win the lottery *lol*but today my mother told me I should be recieving a large amount of money (whatever that means) from a relative (not dead lol) in the near future. I wonder if that is whatit was? It may not be happening & I am not *meant* to know about it so I don't know. Maybe I will have to wait & see.

RE: Black cat symbolism?
hello, here a little on cat the might help you.
To see a cat in a dream or meditation is an indication of a developing link between the individual and the intuitive forces of nature. Therefore, cats, as dream symbols, represents clairvoyant and clairaudient powers bestowed as gifts upon those individuals who respect and nurture nature's children. These "phychic" powers, along with psi-talents, are tools which, when used properly, can bring great abundance, success, happiness, andspiritual growth to the individual.
hope this help some.
love and blessings
