I have had a few dreams about leaving different pets to starve, sometimes it's my real life awake pets sometimes it is pets that are mine in the dream but i have not had in real life, it is always in my awake real home, sometimes in the living room,sometimes in a 'new room' attatched to my my home. sometimes some of them are dead and some barely alive and sometimes they are all barely alive, sometimes there are loads of animals sometimes only a few, but the dreams are so realistic i feel sick and that i could actually have done these cruel things when i awaken. I love my gerbils and would do nothing to harm them.
I do not know if it is to do with guilt for the ones which died when a friend was supposed to be looking after them during my stay in hospital, or if it is because i squashed one by accident when trying to catch them after they all escaped when i was really ill, or if it is that i feel that i didn't do enough when my partner was ill or because i was not with him at the last moment of his life or anything else,
can anyone enlighten me to the meaning of the dream please
