Here's a creepy yet creative dream image I've never had before. Would love to hear thoughts on what it means!!

I flew to another city and stayed at a friend's cluttered house. She was caring for my cat but I was concerned that my cat was not doing well and was stressed out.

In this dream, my cat developed two small spots on his fur that resembled owl's eyes (like the false eyes on a moth's wings). In the dream, I took this to mean that my cat was starting to get stressed and that cats develop these false eye spots in their fur to warn off predators when stressed. If it got really bad, a cat could potentially break out in these eye spots all over its fur.

So in the dream I decided to take the cat back home with me by plane.

After waking up, I was still convinced that this "eye spots on fur" thing was an actual thing that happens that I googled it, to see where I got this idea. After the grogginess passed, I realized how crazy a thought that is. I only found articles on false eyespots on moths, fish etc.

The whole image still creeps me out a day later---thoughts on what this means?
