If you have a dream with an incomprehensible meaning, you will most likely try to interpret it with the help of various dream books. This, in general, is the right approach, dreams can never be ignored (remember, for example, the biblical story of Pharaoh’s dream. He dreamed of seven skinny cows devouring seven fat cows. Pharaoh, with Joseph’s help, explained his dream and managed prevent hunger).
But it is unlikely to fully explain the dream with the help of a dream book. The fact is that earlier the interpreter of dreams was addressed personally, he delved into the life of the questioner and made conclusions based on this. And who was asked in past times to interpret the dream? To the sages and scientists, magicians and fortunetellers, to the seers, and in Greece they turned to the oracle. That is, in modern language, they turned either to people with a sharp mind and logic (it was the sages and scientists who tried to solve the mysteries of dreams who wrote many dream books), or to people with paranormal abilities (and today people with such a gift are trying to learn the secrets of the dream world and explain the dream). And the dream book, although it picks up some patterns, but it cannot take into account your personality, your inner world (and much more). But your dream is addressed to you personally!
For example, you dreamed of a pretty kitten (maybe you even wanted to take it home), but you don’t know what this dream is about. We turn to the interpretation of dream books and learn many different versions.
According to Tsvetkov’s dream book, kittens dream of unpleasant surprises, squabbles and small squabbles.
English dream book: a kitten who, playing with a person, bites and scratches, for a girl means that her lover is actually a petty and vicious person. Marriage with him will be unhappy. Probably, in this interpretation there is some truth. An affectionate kitten in a dream suddenly becomes an evil monster. But how to interpret a dream, if you are not a girl, but a guy? And if you have been married for a long time and raise grandchildren? In this case, the dream does not indicate a lover, but another, pleasant person. Read on. According to the dream book, a black kitten or black cat in a dream means an unknown enemy, an attacker (oh, these superstitions about a black cat!).
If a woman dreams of a white charming kitten, then this is a warning about a trap, a deceit. But if a snake kills kittens in a dream , then this is a good sign: your enemies will not harm you but yourself. In any case, this is the dream book. A gray kitten or cat can mean an invitation to rest.
An unambiguously positive interpretation of sleep with a kitten is given only by N. Grishina, who composed the Noble Dream Book. A kitten or kittens in a dream, according to its version, is material gain or an addition to the family.
And now let's turn to Miller’s very famous dream book. This psychologist lived in the 19th century in America. His work on the interpretation of dreams is considered reliable, authoritative and has been popular for more than a century.
Here is what this dream book says: a kitten dreams of women troubles and worries, and problems will not leave you until you kill the kitten in a dream. The significance of such a dream for a man is not mentioned. Apparently, the author suggests that kittens should not dream of a stronger sex, this is such a "ladies'" dream.
The thing, most likely, is that all these dream books interpret this image based on their attitude to cats in different environments and at different times. If in a noble environment the cat was considered the custodian of wealth (saving supplies from mice), then meeting him in a dream meant profit. And if in England after the Inquisition did not like cats? And in America, apparently, the cat litter bothered the hostess so much that killing unfortunate kittens meant getting rid of the hassle. So it’s not always worth believing what the dream book says. The kitten may dream because you have long been planning to get a cat.
