i was about a week into a 10 day vacation last winter when i had a dream that i was furiously riding my bike on a sidewalk at night. i hear a noise next to me and look down to see my three cats running as fast as they can to keep up with me. the oldest female is in the lead, the two young boys behind her, all three wearing the invisible fence collars they wear in the physical to keep them from wandering off into the neighbor's yard (it's a collar that gives them a little shock if they try to cross a wire border.)

they look up at me, panting, their collars jangling on their necks, and without words or sounds ask me when am i coming home and telling me they miss me and my husband.

i wake up and know immediately they have all converged in my dream to speak to me. they purposely showed me they were wearing their collars to let me know they broke past their normal "physical" boundaries to get to me.

now there is not a physically concrete way to confirm they were too in a dream state as well, but i know in my heart from the smile and warmth it gave me to see them all trailing next to me in my dream that indeed they came to see me in my dream. my furry little angels!
