Dream interpretation? Okay so my wife is on vacation, and I'm left here

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

to take care of our ferrets. (That's the "real life" part.)

In my dream all the ferrets escape. It's night time and I'm following and chasing after them. I'm able to more or less keep up with them.

We wind up at the beach. (We live in Texas and there's no beach for a long ways). I'm able to gather up the ferrets, but as I gather them up, some of the ones I'm already holding escape. Gather up more, some escape.

That's the dream.

The context is, we moved here from California where there is a beach, because of my work. Wife was born and raised there. Wife hates it here both because of heat, basically no scenery, and rampant Bushbotism. It's not my favorite, I'm a coastal city liberal, but the work situation is great and fits our overall plan of being here for some more years and moving back west if we can afford anything.

2. The ferrets represent your animal nature

Which wants to escape to the beach. You are spending a lot of energy just trying to control this desire and you are not completely successful at it. I think that's probably a healthy sign. Do your time for practical reasons but don't give up the part of you that is impractical and longs to be elsewhere.

dreams mean nothing.

4. Oh I think the ones you remember vividly like this usually DO mean

something.

I think nuxvomica's read isn't bad...
