Recurring dream about abandoned pets?

For years I have been having recurring nightmares which present themselves differently each time, but always have something to do with me forgetting about a pet. One time it was a gecko (I used to actually have a gecko), but usually it is birds or mice (which I haven’t owned in years). I have a lot of pets in real life, and they are the most important things in the world to me–I could never EVER forget about them, even if I tried! But in these dreams, I always forget I have these animals, then either randomly remember years later, or randomly come across them in the closet years later. Somehow, the animals are still alive–but barely; their cages are A MESS with bugs and poop everywhere. They have no food or water and are on the brink of death and I always feel AWFUL and wonder how I ever could have forgotten to take care of them. Any idea what this might mean?

  • Yes, you are the pets. You are good at taking care of animals, but you are forgetting to take care of yourself. Is your life kind of a mess? You need to focus on you, get your life in order and love yourself. That’s what your mind is trying to tell you.
