Dreamcatcher: The first thing I remember is being in

The first thing I remember is being in

The first thing I remember is being in the woods. They looked enchanted. My old childhood friend Molly is with me (she has the same hair as she did when we were kids but she is still my age).
The most vivid thing I remember is being in a tent right before twilight ( It is still light outside, but getting dark). I am surrounded by lush (but not dense) woods exhibiting vivid colors. 4 black cats with glowing eyes are in the clearing where my tent is. The 4th is bigger than the rest.
I make a soft clicking noise to them (which is what I do in real life too) and they start to come towards me. The cats give off vibes of being dauntless. I feel absolutely no fear to them. I want them to come into my tent. They meander closer and just before they come in, my memory of the dream fades. Maybe they never did.
There are also vague tones in this dream of Molly and my dad doing things to try and control the "camping" situation we are in. I think it touches on how I feel my dad is controlling in natural situations.
(I naturally wanted to start having sex when I hit puberty. Because he kindly but firmly told me when I was a kid that it was a mortal sin, I pushed it farrr back in my consciousness and have struggled with sex since then)
That's the first thing that came to my mind.
Anyway, Molly was also a very bossy friend when I was a kid. I might have been too, but in that relationship I was more of the passive one.

When my dad and molly were being controlling, I remember seeing warm, golden glowing lights (which made the woods seem even more enchanted)
This also reminds me of the way my dad is controlling and how it's a positive thing because he is good at creating magic.

key things to take from this dream:
*open myself up to instincts
*get to know the positive/ powerful aspects of my darker side
*allow my darker side exist harmoniously with my lighter side
