Don't Slow for Kittens
Dreamed 1986/3/8 by Chris Wayan
I'm running north through the mud along a tree-lined route, Bayshore Freeway without the Freeway. I'm fast, Olympic caliber. Run on and on, it's like flying.
I meet a cheetah, who lopes along beside me, playful and friendly. She's beautiful. We're well-matched. She can beat me in short bursts, but I always catch up...
A feral housecat and her kitten also follow us for a way, but the kitten can't keep up. The mother cat sticks with us for a while, and I start to worry she'll lose her kitten? Then I realize I'm slowing down, and I mustn't do that! The kitten's her responsibility, but I have my responsibility too!
The mother cat turns and goes back.
And I run on, at magical speed, with my beautiful friend.
NOTE NEXT MORNING
I had just seen the film The Competition: two rival pianists fall in love. I'm a romantic and tend to idealize those I'm attracted to. But this dream warns, "Don't slow your full speed or shrink yourself for romance; you need someone who can keep up with you."
Or, put more crudely: "The pussy you need is not just a sex kitten."
