Dream of a Cat with Its Claws Out - dream meaning with inherited lore

The cat digs its claws into furniture or the floor and scratches. The sound may seem loud, or you may feel tense, as if getting close could hurt you.

Korean lore: Traditionally, a cat's claws or scratching have sometimes been interpreted as tension or defensiveness in a close relationship. The scene may also reflect a situation where you need to reset your boundaries with someone. (In folk dream interpretations, an animal's claws and aggressive gestures have long been used to read tension in relationships and the instinct to defend yourself.)

Through the mind: You may recently have been overly careful about someone's tone or reactions, or felt that you needed to protect your boundaries. Feelings you have been holding back instead of expressing as anger may also have appeared through this behavior.
