A brindled-and-white Great Dane named Lucy

[bertha katzenengel]

There was a huge fire on Post Office Road and I didn't realize it until I saw cars fleeing in the other direction - I was driving directly toward it.

"So that's why you ran away," I said to Lucy, the pet of a man I met briefly in a park. I'd picked her up moments earlier, running around in the street. She had a mate, whose name I couldn't remember for the life of me, but I'd know him when I saw him. So now that I'd seen the fire I kept my eyes peeled for him. Lucy stayed curled up on the back seat, complacent, while I searched, smoke stinging my eyes.

Home, I let Lucy into the house, and she greeted the cats, who loved her. I went to the backyard, which was filling up with muddy water. A storm was flooding us without rain. The Potomac rising? Cats and dogs were filling our yard and coming up the steps of the deck for refuge. They all knew us and we knew them.

I saw Lucy's mate and brought him in. He was limping. I still don't remember his name.

~end dream~

Was I Noah in a former life? Or perhaps I'm to fulfill my destiny as Dr. Dolittle. All I can say is if I could rescue them all, I would.

You can enter a word and it will give you an interpretation. Pretty cool.

These are the results I got with a couple of entries.
RESCUE:
Definition: Dreaming that you are being rescued or rescue others, represents an aspect of yourself that has been neglected or ignored. You are trying to find a way to express this neglected part of yourself. In particular, to dream that you rescue someone from drowning indicates that you have successfully acknowledged certain emotions and characteristics that is symbolized by the drowning victim.

FLOOD:
Definition: Seeing a raging flood with its muddy debris, represents emotional issues and tension. Your repressed emotions are overwhelming you. Consider where the flood for indications of where in your waking life may a situation be the source of stress and tension.

8. That was a really nice dream, IMHO.

I also have dreams about trying to catch animals, usually my own, and invariably wake up before I can get ahold of them...:-(
