It was kind of funny because, as in waking life, my old gentleman is hard of hearing, so I was speaking right to his face, so he could lip read and enunciating to be as clear as possible.
He was telling me about his mother and father; I asked him to tell me more about his dad. I don't know if he heard me correctly, but he answered "fathers are important", or something like that.
Of course it put me in mind of my own departed dad, how important he is in my life. From there, a host of other beneficial ponderings ensued.
But how cool is it to hear an animal speak in a dream! I laugh because in the dream I thought he sounds a lot like me but in a lower register. Part of me is aware in the dream that it is all coming from me, for my sake.
Talking animals are the stuff of fairy tales, and dreams. The fact that it's my beloved waking life cat conversing with me makes it even more thrilling. Sunny is the most psychic cat I've ever lived with, from the beginning he acted like he just read your mind. It's fun to have him show up with me in a dream, let alone talking.
There's a trickster, but deeply divine energy to the wisdom animals impart in dreams. I collect my animal dreams in one file; I reread them often and value the energy and significance each one has gifted me from the dream lands. Different animals gift different energies to the dreamer they visit. I figure it's up to me to recognize the gift and honor it by paying attention and learning the lesson offered.
What animals have visited you lately in the dreaming?
