Re: Talking cat

Alex,
About dreams predicting future events. Jung tells us that dreams seldom predict the future, instead they compensate what we already know. Your comment, "It associated a future event and person with someone I knew in real life, isn't that weird?" Weird yes, but it was compensating knowledge you already possessed. And it was most likely by co-incidence the sub had the same name. Anything that speaks to you in dreams comes from the unconscious {especially talking animals}. The unconscious possesses information and knowledge you have previously experienced or already have knowledge of. Repression is where such knowledge is store in the unconscious but may not be available to the conscious mind until something 'stirs' the emotions or when you reach mid-life and reflection becomes the norm instead of looking forward {as you would as a younger person}. A good example would be the 100s of young boys who had repressed sexual mistreatment as youths by Catholic priests. It was not until mid-life they began to consciously recall the abuse. Yet the unconscious knowledge was always there {and in their dreams}, a controlling agent that led to suicide, drug/alcohol abuse, sexual abnormalities, etc. This is where dreams are so valuable. Instead of hours upon hours of laying on a couch and using Freudian association, Jung always asked his patients to 'get back to their dreams'.

Telephones are another form of communication with the unconscious. The operator is the go between of unconscious to dream conscious. The female voice would be some aspect of your anima trying to communicate an emotional conflict/energy that needs your attention and resolution. The wrong number may suggset there is something wrong in your life. If you examine the number closely {knowing it was a wrong number} and look at your personal life you may discover the right number through associations. There could be mythological associations. I am a firm believer in the number nine which is associated with the feminine power {read Greek mythology} and in Jungian psyche a number for wholeness/completion/balance. The number in your dream when added together equals 19, a wrong number for achieving wholeness {18 would be the right number with 1+8=9}.

The dictator in your dream would be an 'evil' emotional dictator within your psyche. Something at the time of the dream {and the years leading up to that time} were unwanted controlling agents in your life. That would be the proper application of the real dictator in your dream, the dream using previous learned knowledge to paint a picture of an emotional stimulus within your life. To add to coincidence look at the year you 'unconsciously posted' association the real dictator 1989. Add the numbers together and you get 27 which added together equals 9. This may suggest the 'right' application of the dream dictator to the emotional dictator the dream is trying to communicate {telephone}.
Note: Famous and often regular people you know in real life in a dream are included because you identify with some aspect/something they possess.

The person you had never met in your 'conscious life' would have applications to some aspect of yourself. And because all dreams and dream images have at least two meanings/applications it could also represent a real person you had never met {your dreams are full of feminine/female images} and unconsciously wish to/need to meet to help make your life whole {making life whole is a function of dreams}. It could have to do with feminine relationships or even your mother {if she were not the good mother she should have been}. If you go back and look at the year 2006 {two sixes, one short of 18} you may find associations that fit. And you were 18 at the time of the dream. These are not merely coincidences, these are 'psyche' {not psychic which suggests something out of the norm} events the dream uses to help paint a picture of your 'true' emotional life {another function of dreams-your true self and not the perceived ego person you see yourself as}. There is something there the unconscious mind wishes to communicate to you so you can reconcile the emotional conflicts.

The nap you took where you heard a loud ringing of a phone. That may suggest there is something you need to understand about your emotional self that is locked away in your unconscious. It could merely be from the fact you are thinking so much about phones as well but the deeper implications are just as real.I suggest to go back to when you were 18 and determine what exactly it was that that year meant emotionally.
