Laundry and Kitten
Dreamer: Katherine
Dream: I am doing laundry with a group of women. H_ is there and so is K_, as well as P_, although I thought P_ might have turned into CR. As usual K_ wanted to be in charge. We divide into smaller groups to sort our laundry by color. I am in the lavender and green group.
As we sort at tables we have our backs to each other.
After sorting we are throwing clothing to be laundered into a huge funnel shaped vat. The opening is as large as the room and then narrows down. It seems to be several stories tall and made of ceramic.
Someone has handed me a kitten to take care of, an orange striped one, very small. It leaps away from me and into the vat. I reach after it, but it has run into a section of the vat that is narrow and curves away from view. I lean down and stick my hand in there and manage to grab just the very tip of the kitten’s tail. I hold on with my fingertips as the kitten tries to pull away. I’m amazed at how strong it is. It takes extraordinary effort to maintain my hold, but I will myself to hold on. I’m also amazed that I can reach so far; given the size of the vat and that my arm and hand have become strangely flexible. I start to worry about the kitten pulling and if it will hurt itself. I decide to relax my grip and I know that the kitten will turn around and crawl back into my hand and then I lift it up to safety.

That is amazing how when you decided to let go of the kitten, it came back to you. There is a great life lesson contained here.
Zataod,
Yes, I love when a dream has such clear guidance.
