I'm sitting in a school like office. Everything is of a cream color.. or off white, even the grays are whiter than usual grays.. I'm looking around, and everyone is wearing colors in the whole scheme.. So I’m pretty bugged out as it is, just dumbly staring around wondering what's going on. Lady is answering the phone, so I'm thinking about asking her the deal, but I just figure I'm here waiting for someone... that’s when I notice the carpet. It's these spirals that slowly circulate... black/gray/white type, but it's real hard to notice unless you stare off and see the floor breathe.. so as I'm staring at the floor, the door on my right opens and someone walks in.. I'm looking at the floor, and that’s when I notice he's wearing black shoes.. quite formidable in this pastel environment .he walks across the room to the door, opens and walks into his office, his door shuts behind him... but something even more interesting was a cat that snuck in right after the gentlemen and walked by and hopped up on the chair to the left of me.. I reached over and pet him, he was quite friendly.. but worried that the people might mistake this cat for mine, I scoot over a seat to the right of me as he sits there and proceeds to take a bath.. A min goes by of listening to office sounds, phone ringing, people slicing paper, etc. the office door opens and he walks out... Gray suit, black hair and black rim glasses is what I remember of his face.. I thought he was coming to talk to me, but instead walks past me and to the cat.. the cat says something, but then man motions to the office and they both walk into the office.
The door shuts behind them...
5 more minutes go buy sitting there listening.. The door opens again and the cat emerges and takes his place on the chair next to me...
I look over and ask the cat, 'can you understand what I'm saying? ‘He quickly replies telepathically, 'but of course...'
I'm floored now..
So I start to ask the cat questions...
Me: Oh, So there is reincarnation?
Cat: but of course, how could you create something on such a grand scheme without having something more behind the scenes?
Me: Is being a cat a reward?
Cat: I'd like to think so.. Sitting around all day pondering the universe, grab a meal and take a nap.. How would you like to live your day?
Me: So what's hell?
Cat: Being a Great Dane stuck in a bachelors apartment...
Me: ::laughs:: yeah, I can see your point. So is it true that cat's have nine lives?
Cat: Well in a way.. A human can live up to around 200 years, and a feline's lifespan depending on the species you pick... most of us choose house cats.. and they pick the time...so if you have nine lives, you live to around the same...
Me: Wow, that works out. So who were you in some of your past lives?
Cat: I was most notable for being a leader in peace, some people feared me for my hands on approach to forgiveness even as someone is striking you..
Me: No. You were Gandhi?
Cat: Well that's what the humans called me...
Me: that's awesome..
Cat: in a word, I guess...
Me: So what is it like being a cat?
Cat: I'm sure you'd just refer to it as awesome.. but it basically consists of talking to the universe, or care taking a family.. most of us who pick felines as hosts really just want to keep an eye on someone or something.. some pick the lifestyle for what it is, the epitaph of lazy. I picked it for my philosophy studies on humans I've been doing in the late 60's.. It gave me alot of time to get an understanding of where the world was and was going.
Me: Can you talk to us back on earth?
Cat: We can, but it's against the rules... and you can get in allot of trouble over it. One cat spoke to the Egyptians and told the priests the secrets of the universe, but they went mad... Humans can't deal with the real truth.. you have to be lifted from your body to fully understand the truth inherent in the universe.
Me: Am I dead?
Cat: It's hard to tell.. You're still using your body as a minds eye, so by all accounts, you should be alive... You only get asked here if you have to explain something..
Me: so I'm in trouble?
Cat: Hard to tell...
The office door open's and a school bell goes off..
Kid's flood the hallway behind me.
That’s when I wake up...

Author's Note: Anywho, This dream was one of my favorites for a while.. I love when a dream just puts you on your ear. I had this dream a few weeks after seeing the movie 'A life less ordinary'. So I think it had a little to do with the all cream scenery.. but the school was a spitting image of the Jr. High I went to.. ::shrug:: I dunno, they are my dreams... I try to figure out the meaning, but this one just left me with a happy feeling... maybe there's more out there than just the dirt nap.
