Hubby and I owned one of those beach stores, like you know the touristy shops that sell shells and hermit crabs and obscenely overpriced bathing suits? There is one of them in St. Augustine Beach and we stop there all the time to just look at the junk. But the dream store was all tiki hutty and cool.
In my dream we LIVED at the store. Like there was an upstairs part of it and that's where we lived, and there was a restaurant attached somehow that was a cross between a Captain D's and a Perkins. So let's get this straight: home upstairs, beach shop downstairs, Captain D/Perkins attached. The restaurant has nothing to do with the rest of the dream, I just knew it was there.
So I'm dream cleaning the store one minute and the next minute I'm carrying in a whole box full of cats in all sizes and colors, and I put them under one of the clothes racks, but the clothes racks were all the way down to the floor. When I was little I loved hiding inside the racks that held long clothes. It was like a little tent or something. But that's what it was like in my dream -- a tent for dozens of cats. I guess I was trying to hide them?
Anyway, I was desperate to find homes for all these kittens because I knew I couldn't keep them all. I wasn't afraid they would get out from under the clothing rack. I frantically started making calls to see if people would take them and got a lot of response FROM MY BLOG FRIENDS. Like all y'all came to my beach shop and left with a kitten. And you took all the mixed color kittens, all the orange and gray tabbies, calicos, and white kitties, but left all the black ones. How could you. Black cats are beautiful, mysterious, wonderful creatures.You're all dead to me.
Then the weirdest thing of all, there was one cat that was pink with a white face and I said "Surferwife would freaking LOVE this pink cat! It's a strawberry cat!" and I swear to God dream-me said it was a strawberry cat. So Hubby was all "Who do you know that surfs?" and I said, "DUH Monique, but she doesn't surf, she's just married to a surfer" and I took off with my pink cat in a box to find her.
Now, I'm a dedicated Surferwife reader, but I don't' know if she likes cats and I also don't' know how she feels about the color pink.
Some things I can piece together from this dream:
- I may have too many cats
- I need to take a trip to the beach STAT
- I play Farmville far too often because the cat looked just like a Farmville pink cow, except it was a cat
- Lay off the guac before bed, sisterfriend
- I read too many blogs
Any thoughts on this bizarro world dream?

But why cats? I have no idea what this could mean. But I hate cats. (OH MY GOSH. I accidentally just wrote "gays" instead of "cats." WEIRDEST THING EVER. And I don't hate gay people. That was awkward.)
I wish I could ever remember my dreams in this much detail. I think some amazing things happen in my head while I'm asleep, but then I promptly forget all the good stuff when I wake up. Unless it's a bad dream. I totally remember those.
I would have taken ALL the black cats from your shop. I LOVE black cats. I even have a black cat and he is the love of my life.
I cannot wait to hear Monique's thoughts on this...
I'm not much of a cat or pink person (don't hate me), but I LOVED playing in the round clothes racks as a kid. My friend and I would go shopping with our moms at Macy's and then hide from them. They finally decided to teach us a lesson, by leaving the store without us. We freaked out of course and never did it again. Parents are tricky like that.
Well, I must not have showed up, because I would have taken a BLACK cat! This dream is bad, maybe you should step away from the computer for a day or take your cats to the beach. *winks*
This is hilarious! Whenever we drive on the interstate, I'll be like Matt-that looks just like my soybeans in Farmville so I totally know where you're coming from. Sorry girl but I wouldn't come take a cat, I'd come visit your store though!
Holy Schnikes girl! I do indeed love pink. I mean what SurferWife wouldn't, right? But how did you know I have been deperately wanting a cat for years now? When my beloved BLACK cat named Beemer passed years ago, I have had a gaping kitty cat hole in my heart.
The Surfer hates cats. Hates them. My mom is allergic. Like wouldn't be able to hang out allergic.
So, it looks like I will just frequent your dreams of pink pussies to get my kitty fix.
Are you pregnant? That sounds like one of those weirdo pregnancy dreams to me.
Oh my gosh this dream rocks, except for the whole cat part. I have a cat already. He's a beautiful orange kitty that I adopted when I was 17. Moral of this comment: you can make a decision at 17 that you will regret for years and years to come.
If I answer you...you realize you've asked a therapist to analyze your dream? :)
I won't even answer...cause I'm thinking about babies. LOL!
roflmbo ummm maybe you have a plate full and you trust all of us to be ther to help ease it from you when ya need it most. I mean the cats would represent issues that you are ready to talk about and vent about and you had blog friends who came to listen and carry that worry away.
Dude. This is like a sign or something for surferwife. She needs to show this to surferhub to convince him.
Two Words: CAT FARM
I want all colors, shapes, and sizes for my cat farm and maybe you are my go-to girl to adopt my cats!
i'm a farmvillian as well. i'd totally want a cat that looked like those strawberry cows.
What a great dream! I have super vivid dreams too and that is fun. My husband never remembers his.
if I would have been in your dream I would have take all your cats, they are so cute, according to psychoanalyst dreams are a reflex of our unconscious mind, traumas, dreams, things that really worry to us, everything that we try to repress.

Err.. I'm no Frued, but I think the cats are the pieces of you that you put out for us to take (read).
Or, you're just way into the beach, and cats.
Haha, wow my friend. Wow! I'm gonna have to 2nd that whole thing on laying off the gauc before bedtime.
Based on this dream I have determined that you probably have some kind of supressed anger toward your family. No? Then maybe it's the guac -that stuff will mess you up.
Well I had a dream last night that a friend got tackled by a deer. I these dreams mean you and I need to drink less... or more... I'm going to go with more.
I would totally take some cats, especially the black ones! We have never had one and I keep thinking that is the next one we get. You know, because we need more animals in our 1000 sq ft townhouse ;)
I LOVED playing in the clothes racks as a kid! My mom still reminds me how I used to hide from her. She'd be looking for me and see some little feet sticking out from under a rack and hear the giggles.
Didn't Strawberry Shortcake have a pink kitty? Maybe you're alter ego is Strawberry Shortcake?
Oh no, I can't take any cats, not even dream cats. I have too many pets in my own dreams.
Thanks for stopping by my blog the other day. Lady Bloggers Society is so great!
Your blog is so much fun to read. I'll be reading more as soon as I finish posting this comment.
I would rescue a cat from you. Especially a black one. Although I already have a black one and a tortiseshell one. I think this dream just signifies that you want to help everyone. Your cats bring you joy, so want to bring joy to others.
But don't read too much into your dream. Last night I dreamt I was going to the prom, but I looked at my clock and had only 15 minutes until it was over, and I wasn't even ready. And the random guy I was going with was sad because he had never been to the prom. It was all too random to make any sense out of!
Love the blog. I'll be back.
Wow, I wish I could remember dreams in detail like this!
Congrats on the chicago dog award! I am visiting from there. Fun bog I am going to follow along now!
i love weird dreams.
and i would have liked a blue cat please. :)
and i too need a trip to the beach.
That is hilarious! I haven't had a dream that involved blog friends yet. I used to hide in the round racks too!
This is quite the dream! I think the moral of the story is that you need a vacation, sans cats!
Love dream stories! Fabulous! Glad I stubled upon your blog. I can't wait to read more, more, more!
This just means that you love retail. I dream about living in the mall all the time.
And I thought I'd over-blogged before going to bed! Goodness! :)
I loved this post...even though I am dead to you now.

What a crazy dream… and you got me thinking about this… because I don’t know if I’d be one of those bloggy friends that would show up to get a cat. I’d come for the beach… and the tiki store, but not so much the cat. So I looked up a couple of the references on a dream site…
And I’ve come to the conclusion that you are melding your blog life and real life together. The sand and water symbolize the 2 parts of your life. Because you are working on the beach… a business project (or maybe blog project?) will consume most of your time.
To clean in a dream means that you are removing negativity/overcoming obstacles – moving to a new stage in life OR that you need to “come clean” about something. :)
To see cats is very interesting… symbolized a range of things… but to chase a cat away (I couldn’t find anything on giving them away) signifies that you will (once again) overcome obstacles.
I think this might just be the longest comment ever!
LMAO. Maybe it means you need a vacation? ;)
