For background, I am a scientist.

I dreamt I was working in a lab. I was working or a personal experiment, hiding it from others. The lab supervisor found my experiment locked in my cabinet was that I had the world's most poisonous, and illegal, critter (don't know if was a bug, goo, etc.). I promised to dispose of it but instead chose to keep it and take it home.

Any thoughts.

Did you think it was poisonous? That's the key.

I feel like it was poisonous, and I had to keep it locked away in an oversized petri dish. It was like an amorphous fat furry millipede.

Odd because I rarely even remember my dreams, and this one so vividly. But then I am a biologist trained specifically in entomology.

I should bring it up with my therapist. But she might think I'm crazy (wait, that boat has already sailed).

The Millipede may represent a part of yourself, that you are keeping hidden from others, and decided to keep it as part of you.

I hate dreams and art. My brain is (or rather, was) wired for scientific evaluations. It doesn't do well with right-brained stuff.

Interesting dream

Something you're working on secretly: therapy? sorting out feelings/experiences?

Perhaps you have a worry that letting certain things out might be harmful or poisonous to others. Things that need to be kept hidden, you feel, and carefully kept. You cannot throw it away - perhaps because it's simply part of yourself as Thunder Bow mentioned, or perhaps because it gives you power by keeping it.

I would look at how you felt about keeping it. Sentimental? Like you had a secret weapon? Frightened? Serious? Protective?
Thanks for this!
