Just a week or so ago I dreamed that my house had been broken into (something I dream about occasionally since I've actually been robbed twice - not a pleasant experience). In my dream, not only had I been cleaned out, but my little gray and white girl, Jazz, had been abused by the thieves - kicked, hit, whatever. She was injured, dirty, bleeding, etc. I was so relieved to wake up and realize that Jazz was sleeping on my legs, as usual.
My other two cats are stranger-shy and if anyone did break into my home again, I know that they would be hiding somewhere and never seen. But Jazz would probably be at the door, welcoming anyone who walked in and would be at the mercy of people with evil hearts. Fortunately, I have a security system now so the chances of my dream coming true are low.

Kirsten, we have an awful lot in common... two silly kitties and unemployment! I too worked for a company where people were underminding everything I did in order to save their own job. It amazes me that I let it happen and that this person still has a job - since after I left, mistakes that were supposed to be my fault continued to happen and there was no longer someone to pin blame on! LOL.:D
But trust me, things will get better. Right now, my husband and I are really struggling with bills ... struggling ain't the word... more like drowning! But I am soooo much happier now than I was right before my layoff. I am finally doing what I've always really wanted to do. And the best thing? No more stress! I set my schedule and nobody asks me "what are you working on?" Ugh, I hated that question!
Is there something that you can do to freelance and go into business yourself? I don't know how easy it is to open a business in Germany... I'm assuming a personal business would be somewhat easy to start. You'll find something I can just tell!

Oh Harley, that's a bad dream indeed! But it doesn't surprise me you're dreaming about these things when you've already been robbed twice! :( I'm sorry this had happened to you!
catnapper, I'm sorry to hear you have also lost your job, and the circumstances under which you've lost it sound awful! You're right, being rid of that is one of the few good things about it, the other is to have a lot of time to be with the kitties... but of course it can't be a permanent situation! I guess I am even lucky because so far, I was able to pay my bills, but the day will come when this will change... :(
Actually I was already thinking about starting my own business, maybe something like a typist service for doctors. This would be something I could do at home, with my own computer, and I wouldn't have to rent any office rooms. But the economy in Germany has reached a very low point. Many many people have lost their jobs, and since we've got the Euro, everything has gotten so expensive. The timing of losing my job was really bad!
Anyway, I wish you luck and hope you'll soon find a job you like!

I have dreems about maggie and my dog. I always have dreams that they are dieing or something, and I wake up with tears in my eyes, and until I realize the are their beside me. It scares me.

Reading these posts today really makes me feel like crying - and that wouldn't do as I am at work! When Gigi was diagnosed with cancer I dreamed about her almost nightly right up until the time she died. They were always terrible dreams about her dying and me trying to save her - giving her the kiss of life, running through the forest searching for her and being unable to find her, and locking myself away in a room with her thinking that if nothing or no-one touched us and if I loved her enough we would live forever. It is too painful for me to remember them. Since she died I have only dreamed of her once - I could hear her scratching at the door to come in but when I opened it she wasn't there.
To everyone who is fearful that they may have to part with their cats due to outside circumstances - please don't. Take them with you. You may all have to face a tough time but it will only be temporary and your little ones need you. There IS a way!

Amber, these are really awful dreams about your dog, what a relief it must be to wake up and have him next to you!
Oh Julie, it's heartbreaking to read about that! I'm so sorry you have lost your Gigi that way, and these dreams make it so obvious what a horrible time it has been for you. I'm so sorry!
Kirsten
