Two nights ago I had an odd dream. I was married in the dream (and I am happily married in real life). In the dream, a friend of ours took me out shopping to buy a used car even though I don't need another car. We were at the car lot and the cars were really cheap, costing between $100-1000, and they were all decrepit. My friend kept trying to get me to look at the cars but I wasn't interested in them. Instead I was interested in three cages down the road. Each cage had a large bunny rabbit in it. I recall that one rabbit was black. The rabbit I liked the most was a rich tan color and it had unusually long fluffy fur. I took the rabbit out of its cage and was holding it. The rabbit seemed to like me and I became obsessed with it and was going to buy it. Earlier in the day I had tried to talk a girl friend out of buying a new puppy because she has too many responsibilities already. So in my dream, I was trying to justify buying a bunny even though I just told my friend that she should not get a puppy. I was using logic like: a bunny lives in a cage so it's easier to take care of than a puppy. I was excited to buy the bunny and bring it home to my husband, though I wasn't sure if he'd share my excitement over the rabbit.
Does anyone have any thoughts about what this dream means? I do not want a pet. I don't like the idea of having animals in the house. Plus, I already have a three year old son who is a handful in his own right.
