Cats and Spats

You know how sometimes you don't have big long dreams, but sort of a bunch of clips of dreams in a night? That's what I had. And they mostly were in the cat shelter where I volunteer. A bunch of things happened. In one, we're telling this new volunteer there's money outside, to play a prank, I guess. Then we start telling everyone that, and I guess everyone ends up outside. In another, we're talking to this one girl about something, and asking her to do something that involved saying something that wasn't true. After she did so she realized she was telling a lie. She comes back to us and says, 'I've figured out the one adjective to describe me!' We ask what it was. Her face gets hard and she says, 'A lying b---h.' (Yes, I know that's not an adjective. This is a dream; nothing makes sense.)
My last dream wasn't in a shelter. I'm at this dinner party or some party where there was food, and it's very formal, and the food is all pretty fancy. I don't want to be there. I'm with some friends, though. We go through the line and check out the food items and see if there's anything we're able to eat. I get various types of salad and then I woke up.

Meaning- Cats represent mystery and creativity. Being in a place I know sets the tone; there's lots of light, which symbolizes ideas and inspiration, but it's also pretty small as well, which is crowding. Telling someone to lie either reflects something I've already done or I'm about to do (which I'm not!). And being at a fancy dinner party is basically showing me what I would think of it if I went to a formal party in real life.
