Have you considered getting another cat?

I highly doubt that my mom would be willing to get another cat as we have 2 cats, 2 small dogs, and a parakeet.

Could it be the fear of losing a loved one whether it be an animal or human? Dreams are weird and have their own little weird ways of telling something that's in your mind that perhaps you don't even know about x

Bigots from r/dreams? Seriously?

Don't know anything about the sub I was hoping it wouldn't, sorry.

I'm a mod at r/dreams and rarely do I see bigots, but I understand the fear of attracting unwanted attention.

This part of your dream sticks out to me:

Then a crazy haired woman I don't recognize opens the door and says, in my mother's voice "No one wants you or your boyfriend you fucking freaks, no one will ever love either of you." then the crazy haired woman pulls out a hatchet and makes a swing at Sunshine's neck.

To me, that looks like a dramatization of the situation with your mom. The lady is a characterization of your mom and her behavior expresses how you feel about her sending your cat away, is my guess. Your cat was your buddie and for her to just get rid of it is callous.

Does your mom interfere in your love life?

Well considering that Sunshine was my girlfriend unintentional, yes. If you are referring to dating humans, which I don't care to do, she always asks why I'm not dating anyone and I always use asexuality to avoid the topic which I can tell doesn't fulfill her curiosity.

Perhaps in the dream, Sunshine represents your asexuality and your mom's comments (the crazy lady is actually her) are actually about your fear of judgment from her.

"No one wants you or your boyfriend you fucking freaks, no one will ever love either of you."

It sounds to me like you've been traumatized by her and in response you've largely shut down an entire area of your life. Perhaps it would help you to look up community at r/raisedbynarcissists.

Or, thought of another way, perhaps you are recognizing that you have a lonely road ahead of you. For thousands of generations, human beings have made their way in this world together, and mating pairs are the strongest relationship bond for adults of our species. Instead, you're staring at a future of being bonded with your mom.

You asked how to stop these nightmares, and the only way to do it is to address the underlying conflict. Something is trying really hard to get your attention. You might be able to repress everything back down but eventually it will come back up, and when it does it will much more dangerous for you than it is now. At least now, you have a good idea of what's causing the conflict and where it originates.

I can't tell you what the dream means. I can only point out what seems obvious to me from where I sit. Begin with the most obvious interpretation. You're in conflict with your mom. Next, explore why you're in conflict. Why aren't you free to just be yourself? How have you been shaped into the person you are now? Even if you are the opposite of how your mom raised you, you're still a product of that upbringing.

Once you have a handle on that, you can decide what to do about it. And you really have to do something in response. You can't passively let this situation continue. It'll destroy you inside. Feel free to message me anytime.

Except for that I'm not asexual, that's just the excuse I give her to avoid this subject, because I don't want to tell her what I am.

Why aren't you free to just be yourself?

Because I'm 80% certain she won't accept me for being sexually and romantically attracted to cats.

also on a good note I didn't have the dream last night.

I've got two thoughts for you. One, perhaps your attraction toward cats is a sublimated energy. It's being directed toward felines because it can't find a healthier outlet (toward females). Two, your mom is not going to accept this, you're right, but she doesn't need to. You have a community here and know you're not alone. Don't expect other people to understand. Let your mom have her illusions about you. You'll understand if you're a parent one of these days.

Okay, well thank you for your help, almost like therapy, wish I had money to go to one. Also so you can understand better, I've never found any humans attractive literally only felines, so, like being gay, it's not my choice.

Do you have any suggestions to stop it I'm scared to go to sleep tonight thinking it will happen again.
