Last night I was in this palace type place. It wasn't as fancy as a palace but it was as big and had the same setup as a typical palace but with the feeling of a normal home I suppose.
I was under some sort of control by a male, who controlled the palace, but he wasn't very powerful. I don't remember seeing him but I know what his energy felt like just from being in the palace with him. He reminded me of a rat, dirty blonde hair, nasal voice. I owed him something so whatever, I guess he controlled me. I bet I could've kicked his ass if it wasn't for my immense sense of integrity and fairness.
Normally I was under his supervision but in this part of the dream I was alone in a portion in the palace. I remember there being pillars on the other end of the sunlit room. I was on a landing or ledge that could see the main area of this leisurely and colorful room. There was a black cat on the ledge I was on.
All of a sudden I was on the cat's back as if it were a horse. It was a male black cat. So honestly I started grinding on this cat's back. It didn't falter by my weight or anything, it felt very supportive. It was a male cat and he knew what I was doing, he could feel the energy of my base through his back and how it was sexual energy and he didn't seem to mind.
We both felt a sense of how I had to be quick because I knew I'd be found soon. It didn't seem to bother me though, I was like "whatever". I knew I was being searched for by this male that was trying to keep tabs on me.
Anyway it took me ten seconds or less to orgasm on this cat's back, then I think I had to go.
Sex is about connection, and with this dream I was connecting with the black cat more than I was trying to get off. Traditionally, cats represent all that is feminine, mysterious and "magical". To have a dream that I'm connecting to something that represents those things means alot to me because I've struggled for a long time with those aspects of myself. Your sex organ, your ass and the bottom of your stomach are your base, which is where your sense of security lies. Black is a color that can symbolize protection and strength and power. I've felt "uprooted" for years, resulting in insecurities that plague me and a feeling of aimlessness.
This dream is affirmative. Those days are over.
The Egyptians associated the cat with the moon, and it was sacred to the
goddesses Isis and Bast, the latter being the guardian of marriage (57). A secondary symbolism is derived from its colour; the black cat is associated with darkness and death.
To see a cat in your dream, symbolizes an independent spirit, feminine sexuality, creativity, and power. It also represents misfortune and bad luck. The dream symbol has different significance depending on whether you are a cat lover or not. The cat could indicate that someone is being deceitful or treacherous toward you. If the cat is aggressive, then it suggests that you are having problems with the feminine aspect of yourself. If you are afraid of the cat in your dream, then it suggests that you are fearful of the feminine. The dream may be a metaphor for "cattiness" or someone who is "catty" and malicious. If you see a cat with no tail, then it signifies a loss of independence and lack of autonomy.
To dream that a cat is biting you, symbolizes the devouring female. Perhaps you are taking and taking without giving. You may be expressing some fear or frustration especially when something is not going as planned.
To dream that a cat is scratching you, suggests that you are feeling threatened.
To see a black cat in your dream, indicates that you are experiencing some fear in using your psychic abilities and believing in your intuition. You may erroneously associate the black cat with evil, destruction, and bad luck. In particular, if the black cat is biting, clawing or attacking you, then the dream means that you must acknowledge what your intuition is trying to tell you. You can no longer ignore it. Do not be afraid to face the situation. If you see a white cat, then it denotes difficult times.
To dream that a cat killed a spider, suggests that you are expressing your femininity in a seductive and cunning manner rather than in an overtly and almost destructive way.
This is a bad dream. This indicates treachery and fraud. Killing a cat indicates
discovery of enemies.

Cats have both positive and negative connotations. You need to consider all of the details in the dream in order to obtain accurate interpretation. The cat can be a symbol of sexuality, femininity, prosperity and power. A cat is also an independent animal, and in your dream you may be associating yourself or someone else with these characteristics. Usually the dream is telling you about yourself and not others. Historically black cats have been symbols of evil and bad luck. If you are a cat lover and have one as a pet, the symbolism may not apply to your dream. Old, superstition-based dream interpretations say that a cat is a bad omen and that you can expect deceit from those that you trust
Cat Symbolism
As an ancient symbolic Celtic animal, the cat represents the guardian of the Otherworld (or Underworld, depending which texts you read from various regions). Stoic, silent and mysterious, cats fit the bill of Otherworld guardians quite well. They keep the secrets of the Otherworld eternally to themselves, as they gaze with guile upon a world that does not see or understand the depth of their knowledge. However, black cats in Celtic lore were considered evil, and were sacrificed.
In Western tradition, black cats have been associated with witchcraft. This is due to black being associated with supposed perils of the night, and the cat is associated with transformation just as the veil of night shifts our perception of reality.
However, in Ancient Rome the cat was sacred to Diana, the moon goddess. Here the cat was also considered a guardian of homes and a symbol of domestic goodness.
In Muslim lore, the cat is honored for saving Mohammad from an attack by a fierce snake. Here it is believed the “M” marking on the forehead of many tabby cats is the mark of the prophet (”M” for Mohammad).
In Norse legend the cat is depicted drawing the chariot of their fertility goddess, Freyja, and therefore the cat is thought of as a blessing upon newborns and a good omen for those increasing their family ranks.
In ancient Egypt cats were sacred and were even depicted on the head of their lunar goddess, Bastet which was worshipped by the ancient Egyptians. In her honor, cats were even mummified along with mice for them to eat.

Cats themselves are quite resourceful and tend to give us messages of change, flexibility of adaptability. Often, when a cat makes an uncommon appearance in our lives it is a message for us to shake up our habitual routines and make some fresh changes in our lives, as well as be more flexible in our thinking.
Cats can also be quite aloof, and this too is often a message for us to distance ourselves from people or situations. Sometimes the best cure for a problem is to step away from it - the cat inherently realizes this, and we would be wise to recognize this need as well.
Lastly, the cat animal symbolism is about mystery. Unfortunately, its unpredictability has given the cat a bad name in some areas of folk lore, specifically witchcraft. When, in actuality, this is an asset that can be harnessed by us humans.
Sometimes displaying very strange behavior and antics, you can never really pin a cat down. Simply put, the cat animal symbolism is synonymous with creativity and psychic power because of its sometimes unorthodox & “mysterious” behavior. This is also reflected in the Tarot deck as we see the cat in the Queen of Wands card.
The good news is, this mystery is a message to us that we have the power over illusion. Cat animal symbolism reminds us to not fall prey to false beliefs, to not be a fool out of ignorance and derive understanding from our own internal wisdom. The cat beckons us to realize that when we turn within to our own hearts, minds and souls, and trust in ourselves we will always be shown the truth of matters.
The cat is the bearer of secrets. It knows all the old secrets that have been forgotten a long time ago. It moves freely through space and time. Since it maintains silence most of the time, it is difficult to learn the things that it knows. Seeing a cat (or any feline) in your dreams is a hint that there may be secrets within you or others of which you do not know. If the power of the cat is strong in a person, that person will have a very particular kind of perceptiveness. By using reflection, he will recognize the true selves of others along with his own identity. He will also discover the daily ritual of self-deception.
Magic, independence, clever, unpredictable, balance of energies and actions in life, mysteries will unfold in life if a cat has come around. Cat shows how to clarify perceptions which allows new ideas to manifest, encourages mental and emotional agility, aids in being resourceful and stealthy tactics, teaches courage and confidence. Do you need to be more independent? Are you using your resources the best of your ability? Is it time to start a new project? Cat will show how to continue the process of opening your intuition for soul growth.
In Cabbalistic symbolism, the sacred palace, or the ‘inner palace’, is
located at the junction of the six Directions of Space which, together with this
centre, form a septenary. It is, consequently, a symbol of the occult Centre—of
the ‘unmoved mover’ (28). It is also known as the ‘silver palace’, the ‘silver
thread’ being the hidden bond which joins man to his Origin and to his End (28).
This concept of the Centre embraces the heart and the mind; hence, in legends and
folktales, the palace of the old king contains secret chambers (representing the
unconscious) which hold treasure (or spiritual truths). Loeffler suggests that
palaces made of glass or of mirrors, and also those which suddenly appear as if by
magic, are specially symbolic of the ancestral memories of mankind—of the
basic, primitive awareness of the Golden Age (38).
To see a palace in your dream, symbolizes wealth and prominence. You are ready to utilize your full potential.
If you are living in a palace, then it signifies that success is right within your reach.
To live in a palace is a good omen. You will be elevated to a state of wealth and
dignity.

To see and hear fine ladies and men dancing and conversing, denotes that you will engage in profitable and pleasing associations.
For a young woman of moderate means to dream that she is a participant in the entertainment, and of equal social standing with others, is a sign of her advancement through marriage, or the generosity of relatives.
This is often a very deceitful and misleading dream to the young woman of humble circumstances; as it is generally induced in such cases by the unhealthy day dreams of her idle, empty brain. She should strive after this dream, to live by honest work, and restrain deceitful ambition by observing the fireside counsels of mother, and friends.
Seeing a palace in your dream, symbolizes prominence and wealth. You are ready to utilize your full potential. Dreaming that you are the owner of a palace means that success is right within your reach.

This symbolic animal appears as an attribute of Saturn, in his capacity as
the ‘second sun’. It is always on heat, and hated by Isis (31). The significance of
the mock crucifix, with an ass’s head, from the Palatine, must be related to the
equation of Yahve with Saturn (31), although it may be that it is related to the
jester-symbol. In connexion with the latter, the ass’s head, frequently found in
mediaeval emblems, marks and signs, often stands for humility, patience and
courage. Sometimes there is a wheel or a solar symbol between the ass’s ears. This
symbol, also found on the heads of oxen, always denotes that the animal is a
sacrificial victim (4). But the symbolism of the ass involves still further complexities: Jung defines it as daemon triunus—a chthonian trinity which in Latin alchemy was depicted as a three-headed monster, one head representing mercury,
the second salt and the third sulphur, or, in short, the three material principles of
matter (32). In Chaldaea, the goddess of death is depicted kneeling on an ass
which is being ferried across the River of Hell in a boat. In dreams, the ass,
especially when it appears invested with a solemn and ritual aspect, is usually a
messenger of death or appears in connexion with a death, as destroyer of a lifespan.
To see an ass in your dream, signifies a lack of understanding. It also suggests that you will come upon many annoyances. The dream may be a metaphor for someone who is being an ass.
To see an ass carrying burdens in your dream, signifies that after much patience and hard work, you will succeed in your professional and personal life.
To see an ass in a dream, you will meet many annoyances, and delays will accrue in receiving news or goods.
To see donkeys carrying burdens, denotes that, after patience and toil, you will succeed in your undertakings, whether of travel or love.
If an ass pursues you, and you are afraid of it, you will be the victim of scandal or other displeasing reports.
If you unwillingly ride on one, or, as jockey, unnecessary quarrels may follow.
All your great troubles, in spite of despairing circumstances, will end in ultimate
success after much struggle and suffering.
To dream that you are riding an animal or vehicle, symbolizes the path and direction of your life. If you were riding away, then it suggests that you need to distance yourself from some issue. Alternatively, the dream means that you are going along with someone else's plans and ideas. You need to be less passive and stand up for yourself. In particular, to dream that you are riding a bicycle, motorcycle, or horse, is analogous to your sexual rhythm.
To dream of riding is unlucky for business or pleasure.
Sickness often follows this dream.
If you ride slowly, you will have unsatisfactory results in your undertakings.
Swift riding sometimes means prosperity under hazardous conditions.
Dreaming that you are riding an animal or vehicle, symbolizes the path and direction of your life. Alternatively, it may indicate that you are going along with another's plans and ideas. In particular, to dream that you are riding a bicycle, motorcycle, or horse symbolizes the rhythm of some sexual act.
A symbol of individuality—of private thoughts. The windows symbolize the possibility of understanding and of passing through to the external and
the beyond, and are also an illustration of any idea of communication. Hence, a
closed room lacking windows may be symbolic of virginity, according to Frazer,
and also of other kinds of non-communication. Many rites involving the
enclosureimage are performed to mark the reaching of puberty, all over the world.
The legend about Danae, shut up by her father in a bronze tower, pertains to this
particular symbolism. There is a Siberian legend concerning a ‘dark house of iron’
which is also relevant to it (21). We might also mention the ‘vase with a lid’, one
of the eight emblems of good luck in Chinese Buddhism, and a symbol of wholeness, of the idea with no ‘exit’, or, in other words, of supreme intelligence triumphant over birth and death (signified respectively by the doors and windows of
the room) (5). This explains why the hermetically sealed room may possibly be
a variant form of the ‘vase with a lid’.
To dream that you are in a room, represents a particular aspect of yourself or a specific relationship. Dreams about various rooms often relate to hidden areas of the conscious mind and different aspects of your personality. If the room is welcoming or comfortable, then it signifies opulence and satisfaction in life. If you see a dark or confined room, then it denotes that you feel trapped or repressed in a situation.
To dream that you find or discover a new room, suggests that you are developing new strengths and taking on new roles. You may be growing emotionally. Consider what you find in the discovered room as it may indicate repressed memories, fears, or rejected emotions. Alternatively, such rooms are symbolic of neglected skills or rejected potential.
To dream that you are in an empty white room, indicates a fresh start. It is like a blank canvas where you want to start life anew. Alternatively, the dream means that you are trying to isolate yourself. You do not want any outside influences.
To dream of a yellow room, suggests that you need to use your mind. You are feeling stimulated mentally.

On a more positive note, this dream may signify a sense of freedom and liberation.
