Justin,
The cat in some form would represent your anima and could have actual waking life female associations. A good bet the anima quality would represent your emotions, they are biting you. Your 'superior' strength would be the ego suppressing the emotions, not wanting to deny your true feelings to reveal itself {not wanting to hurt the cat} but on the other hand not wanting to confront them because of the pain involved. You have the ability {hand} to do this but the conscious ego doesn't allow it and aggressively prevents you from doing so {revealing your true emotions}.

As for waking life associations, is there a woman or women in your life that could be 'biting' at you?

The second part may be important. The young boy at the playground is you and his being full of grief would suggest those types of emotions when you were a child. Were there actual priests involved in your life as a child? Examine those associations and see where they take you.

Then there is the book of 'Curtin', something you don't believe in. That may suggest negative implications toward members of your family, and in particular to do with childhood issues. The comfortable feeling you had may be from an unconscious realization from this dream, the dream may have revealed something about your emotional self {first dream} that is very important.

The woman I asked about from the first dream may have associations in this dream.
