Dreams Of Kittens - Meaning And Interpretation

The kitten in your dream is like life in that it is full of potential and promise. Every day is an adventure, and there is always something new to learn. Just like life, a kitten brings joy and happiness into our lives and in my view, you have a positive dream symbol - of course, we all know kittens are a source of comfort and companionship during challenging times. To see more than one kitten in a dream is a sign that no matter what life throws our way, we can always count on ourselves. Your dream might be strange and include various twists or encounters.

In older, more ancient dream dictionaries the kitten is a symbol that means you need to be innocent and pure. There is a spiritual notion that the kitten can also indicate the need for independence in life. Saving the poor little kitty in your dream indicates that you will need power and control in a matter close to you. Perhaps the kitten was on a busy street, or just about to be squashed by a car. Such a dream can suggest that you are going to save something close to your heart in your waking life. If you have just got a kitten in real life then this dream is sometimes common, especially the dream of losing the kitten. 

What is the meaning of a dream about a kitten?

As I have already touched on there are many ways in which a kitten resembles life. They remind us of the importance of hope and new beginnings and show us that we are never alone. Companionship can't get much better than this, can it? In general, kittens represent new beginnings, hope, and innocence, depending on the specific animal. Our dreams can come true every day, and it is never too late to start fresh. A kitten can also remind us that we are never alone - even in dark times, we always have our furry friends to keep us company.

What is the color of the kitten in your dream?

Kittens come in a variety of colors in dreams and each color can have a different dream meaning. Black kittens are often associated with bad luck in folklore but I don’t really believe this --- for me, they represent protection from evil. White kittens are often seen as good luck charms, and they represent purity and innocence. Gray kittens are thought to be neutral, but they can also represent wisdom. Yellow kittens are associated with happiness and good fortune, while orange kittens represent energy and enthusiasm. Blue kittens are often seen as calm and serene, but they can also represent sadness or depression. 
 
Tortoiseshell kittens are usually associated with royalty or high status, but they can also symbolize mystery or magic. Pure brown kittens are often thought of as being friendly and down-to-earth, but they can also represent stability and dependability.  Bi-colored kittens are associated with passion and excitement, but they can also be aggressive or temperamental. Orange kittens are often seen as lucky, but they can also represent envy or jealousy. In my view, white kittens in dreams are often seen as good luck charms, and they represent purity and innocence. 
 
A mix of black and brown kittens are often associated with a time of change, but they can also symbolize protection as I have mentioned above.  A “pointed pattern”  on the kittens is thought to be neutral, but it can also represent wisdom. Lavender kittens are associated with happiness and good fortune, while long-haired kittens represent energy and enthusiasm. Salt and petter kittens are often seen as serene, but they can also represent melancholy or that calm times are coming. Usually associated with development or spirituality, fawn kittens also symbolize focusing on what you want in life.

What is the pattern of the kitten in your dream?

The next consideration when reviewing your dream is the type of pattern on the kittens if you remember. Each color can represent something different spiritually expressing a deeper meaning. I will try to help you understand what this means. 

Tabby kitten in dreams: One of the most popular cat fur patterns is the classic Tabby. The tabby has a distinctive "M" shaped marking on its forehead, as well as stripes, dots, or swirls all over its body. It can be found in kittens of all colors, from Siamese to Maine Coons. The pattern spiritually means living a life that is integrated, and that strengths need to be expressed.
 
Solid color kitten in dreams: Kittens with solid colors all over their bodies are as their name suggests “solid.”. In terms of their fur, there is no variation or pattern. Solid kittens can be any color, including black, white, blue, red, cream, and even lavender, aside from black and white, so if the kitten in your dream was solid then this dream is about innocence. Remember that kitten is born into this world without any misconceptions. The solid kitten in the dream is about making sure you are not overshadowed by emotions that can define your life.
 
Bicolor kitten in dreams: Bicolor kittens as connected to developing your personality and creating the story of the life you live, as you might have guessed these kittens in dreams are two colors. One color is typically dominant on the body, while the face, chest, and legs are another color. In dreams, from my users, the normal combination is black and white, but Bicolors can be any color. If you see these bi-colors on the kitten in the dream it represents your desire to overcome fear to create success. It is about removing the fear, and ensuring you have a sense of security in life.
 
Tricolor kitten in dreams: Dreams that involve kittens with three colors, maybe arranged in distinct patches is about your choices in life. It could suggest you have three choices and that you seek more power and control. It is about personal power and gains going forward.
 
Tortoiseshell kitten in dreams: A tortoiseshell kitten has two colors swirled together in a brindle pattern. A tortie can be any color, and this is about expecting something in return for your giving. Remember the tortoiseshell pattern has many lines which are connected to expecting something in return for what you give others. 
 
Colorpoint kitten in dreams: Colorpoint kittens have a solid color face, ears, legs, and tail with darker "points" and this dream that featured such kittens is about recognition and rewards. It is about becoming selfless in life and moving forward on your journey. Any color can be used for the body, but darker shades of the same color are usually used for the points. Among colorpoint kittens, Siamese kittens are the most popular.
 
Different types of cat fur patterns can be featured in dreams, each with its own beauty, but I hope that what I have suggested here will bring some clarity to your kitten dream. In order to get a deeper meaning of this dream it is important to review other symbols --- which I will address now.

If we look at the famous theorist of dreams, Carl Jung, he took a more object-orientated approach to dream interpretation. This was, I think because his dreams were about houses and architectural symbols as opposed to Sigmund Freud who had more of an interest in dreams about the body. Both these psychologists collected thousands of dreams. Their approach to the study of dreams can be confusing. There is so much academic writing on the topic and both these psychologists have written famous books. Alas, they approached a dream-like how a mathematician would approach an equation, missing out on the "spiritual" meaning of the dream. 

The interesting thing about these psychologists is that there is a spiritual side of dream meaning, in both Freud's and Jung's books this meaning was never really discussed or believed. So what does dream psychology say about the dream of a kitten? Psychologists believe in a connection between dreams and symbols in waking life. The Freudian theory states that many of our dreams are simply an enormous part of our subconscious mind, and we take in images every day that results in our dreams. So how is this associated with your dream? The dream of kittens from a psychological perspective is a communication that can be due to seeing a cat or kitten in the waking world. Kitten dreams are normally linked to how we feel about our lives and the control that we have. If you see a kitten tangled in wool or kitty can't get down a tree then maybe you are subconsciously unable to get something off the ground.

Sometimes people say things in life that they simply regret or do not mean. It is up to you to forgive the person.

In general, to dream of a kitten indicates that you are likely to be misled by others. It is very important that you want to avoid being influenced by other people at this time. If you dream of a black and white kitten it suggests that you may have some source of sadness or regret in the near future. If you are involved in business, this dream indicates that you need to put all your efforts into making your particular business a success.

These are characteristics that you have, it indicates that you are feeling somewhat vulnerable right now. To see a long-haired kitten denotes a blissful time in life. Domesticated kittens seen in your dream indicate that you are going to embark on a new project at work. If the kitten is wild then this indicates that you are unable to show feelings easily and may find partnership difficult.
