That bear just ate my cat!

It was only a dream, but it left me awake wondering how I could have prevented it from happening.

My dream was very simple, I don't recall it being connected to another dream, and it was not long. It felt like just a few minutes. I dreamt that I was running from a bear. It was very mad, and it was chasing me down. I somehow got out of the way -- I climbed a tree, I think. As I looked down I saw this bear scoop up my cat and just zip out of view.

That was the whole dream. I was pretty horrified by it. I mean, my dear sweet kitty had just been eaten by a bear. A bear that wanted me, and I didn't even know she was there to be eaten. As I lay awake, I tried to dive back into my dream and somehow do something different to protect my cat. I couldn't get back into my dream. I was locked out.

I tried to find some information about dream interpretation, as that was a very strange dream for me, and very vivid too. There is some information on the symbolism of a bear, and a cat. But nothing on a bear eating a cat. Its probably means nothing, but it wasn't like a nightmare where the night before I watched a scary movie, or anything like that. It seems to be a completely disconnected dream.

"To dream that you are being pursued or attacked by a bear, denotes aggression, overwhelming obstacles and competition."

"To see a black cat in your dream, indicates that you are experiencing some fear in using your psychic abilities and believing in your intuition."

Wow, I didn't even know I had psychic abilities, but maybe I had them for a second and a bear ate them? Of course there are other beliefs of what those symbols mean. For me, it meant a bear ate my cat. Bad bear, bad.
