On a hilly uptown street I see a huge, beautiful cat. Not a leopard, no rosettes; tawny, but too small for a lion. Gracile (lightly built) like a cheetah, but with a bigger head. A puma? But with a lion-mane--or like human long hair.

No one else seems to notice her. Strange! Follow her and ask passers-by. Yep. They're all blind to her! Or, or course, I'm hallucinating--insane.

But later I'm visiting a middle-aged friend. Fetching something from his dark windowless basement, I run into the big cat again! She's just leaving, but she turns, and calls to my friend in another room. What language is that? Sounds kind of like Inuit.

Strangely, her words hang, visible, in the air--a speech balloon full of weird script like Armenian.

She pads out.

From her teasing affectionate tone, I know: they're lovers! I feel disappointed she's not single, and jealous he met her before me.

But I feel encouraged, too: I wasn't hallucinating her, she's real, and she's not just an impressive, gorgeous animal, but a person, AND she's open-minded enough to love a human! So even I can hope to find a feline girlfriend.

If I keep my eyes open. And believe them.

NOTES IN THE MORNING

• Furry character most are blind to: watched anime tonight--Gingitsune. Only Makoto sees or talks to the temple's fox-spirit.
• Feline with a human lover: friends who knew my last two girlfriends told me they looked quite different, but both moved like cats. It might explain why no one's excited me much since. Pleasant, good-looking, but they don't move right?
• She speaks Inuit: also saw a scene from a Greenlandic movie in which a (female) spirit spoke in Inuit.
• Armenian alphabet: got a Medicare notice with text in many languages, like Korean, which I at least can sound out, & Armenian which I can't, even though it's Indo-European. Has its own alphabet, not Roman or Cyrillic. (Balloons above say something like "Okay, see you tonight then! I love you!" Any errors are mine (plus an online translatobot). This does look like what I saw in the dream, so I'm fairly sure it was Armenian, even if my phrasing and spelling are off.
• ACTION: Keep my eyes open and be patient--my kindred spirits are not common. But when I do meet one, at least (unlike most people) I can see her! Though I have to acknowledge what I see. And then learn her language.
