    I was a rich male teen. It was my birthday and my best friend and I broke into a cake shop because my businessman dad was too busy and my mom too much on a diet to giver a proper cake. When the police arrived, they discovered that someone else had already broken into the store as well, and something way more serious was going on further in. I couldn't really see what, but I knew it looked serious and I had to persuade the police that we had nothing to do with it. At first they did not want to believe me, but then one of them recognized me as the son of one of the most important citizens in our town and somehow that meant he believed me. When I whined that I had not even yet had my cake, the police let me have some, though I was still under arrest for breaking in. It was chocolate cake with lots of icing.

    In this dream I had a younger brother and we were both minors still. The authorities became interested because they somehow found out that my mom and stepfather would at times leave me or my brother alone for the night. They called me. I explained I was 16 so not an issue, but my brother was only 12, and I thought that was an issue, plus it was not like he and I were left together, but he was left all alone out of some reason. Anyway, I made the case worse by mentioning something else the authorities may want to know about my stepfather - don't recall what it was for sure but it may have been that they also sometimes leave their dog alone over night while they stay in the other house with the cat and my brother. Meanwhile I was with my father. LClearly this dream was supposed to take place soon after my parents divorce and thus I was angry with my mother and her new husband.

    In fact I was still so angry I had not yet visited either of their new homes. In this dream they had two. I decided to correct that. So we arrived late at this old mansion.

    In the mansion there was this cat in the bed I was going to sleep in. I discovered that when it meowed, I could actually make up the words in the meows. So the cat could talk, but others could not understand, only me. Somehow, I managed to reroute my stepfather's cellphone, so that when the phone rang, the cat started talking in the voice of my stepfather's brother, so the cat became the cellphone. My stepfather talked through the cat phone with his brother.

    Later that night around 3:00 am or 3:30am my stepfather's brother actually showed up. He looked nothing like he looks in real life, but was a much younger, much slimmer, much handsomer, dark haired man. He asked my mother why she was holding a glass of wine, was there a party? My mom said that no, she was just having a glass of wine just because, and would he like to join her in some wine. He claimed that he was a recovering alcoholic though, and my mother should have known that. She said then why did you ask about the wine. He said he was hoping there was a party here, that he would have liked a party.

    In a later scene I admitted to my stepfather that I had spoken on the phone with the authorities about the leaving alone of my brother and also of the dog, but somehow I managed to explain it in such a way as if the authorities somehow knew already, and I did not tell them of it first, so like I had not ratted on them. Btw, my brother was not with us at the house that night. Perhaps he was alone in the other house with the dog?

      BREAK AND ENTER IN YOURSELF (at 12:45)
      You wanted your rich young or new control to be born, and to be friends with it.
      Maybe you cheated to get that piece of cake that was too easy. The side of you working on this business was too busy!
      So the side that would nurture this, maybe, was being starved.

      DEEPER INSIDE
      When you saw the right, you saw something more serious deeper in you.
      So this could be you saw you were not doing the business - maybe that is why you couldn't see exactly what. Or you just didn't see clearly what was wrong.
      Maybe you tried to justify it, or correct it. That you had nothing to do with it - maybe that your inner disarrayed state was not intentional.

      WRONG WAY
      At first you didn't believe yourself, until you recognized how important your growth was.
      When you whined you didn't have the sweet fulfillment you quickly craved, you justified now having a piece of cake.
      But you knew how wrong it was to get it this way. You had to work at it.
      In reality you must love choc cake with icing the best!?


      UNDER CONTROL (5:30)
      Your control is underage - not fully grown.
      Again, inner justice intervened because you were separating from possibly nurturing your replacement control of your past strictness, I gather.
      Your mother may mean the nurturing you. Or the mature you which reflects well your step-father being new control. Or she can be the you without control. Which sort of amounts to the same.
      You have said you see yourself in your mother, despite the differences you see. So she may just mean you, but also how different you want to be - to you! ☺

      So maybe the youngest part of your control was separated too.
      This was made worse, to your inner authority, because another part was left alone - perhaps the part wanting control in dealing with other people (a dog likes being with other people, is interdependent with them (and has to be trained)). So what should be with others was alone.
      While they stay in another part of you with the youngest control and your independence (a cat is opposite).

      ANGRY
      Meanwhile the main you is restricted? Or controlled somewhat? Because to what extent we are without control, we are controlled.
      So you were angry with yourself for separating from your control, which separated you in every which way. Instead of integrating all these parts of you.
      And the dream uses your parents divorce to symbolize that, and how angry this made you, like then.

      In fact you were so angry, you had not visited yourself! Not the part of control, or your part that was to join with it. Because they were off-limits to you now in this state.


      SELF-CORRECTION
      So you decided to correct this situation.
      You were late, but arrived at this huge old issue.
      Maybe only you could understand your independence.

      CAT PHONE - or GAINING INDEPENDENCE
      In what must be one of the most delightfully bizarre dream sequences, you managed to reroute your control into your new personal independence, so now it grew up and you could have independent control.
      (Notice your brother was 12 with the cat. Now your stepfather's brother is with the cat.)
      So your control spoke through your independence, connecting that which was distant.

      MEETING IT IN REALITY
      So, after connecting all this, you actually met with your mature control.
      But still young. Lean, looking good to you, but maybe still dark or largely unseen in your thought.
      Now your mother side was about to celebrate. Or your mature female side. But by the looks you were celebrating just yourself, or at least seeing a special occasion could come perhaps, not joining yet with the other side.
      Your control was recovering though, and you should have known that it was not time to let loose yet or celebrate it.
      But you hoped you could have joined with your new control and celebrate that. You would have liked that.

      LATER RESOLUTION
      Later your authority was okay with your separations before - maybe because you thought this using the catphone you had reconnected them all with!
      You didn't hold it against yourself, or didn't tell on yourself.
      So your young brother was not with you probably because he morphed into your Stepfather's brother.
      But maybe a new version was in the other part of you - the younger part again but here that wanted to be in charge with people - because that part still existed.
      I guess you have to deal with self-control first, before control with others.

      Your last sentence really nailed it down: "I guess you have to deal with self-control first, before control with others." That is exactly where I am at right now. I am focusing yet again on self control before I can expand any of that control to others.

      I had not gotten the cake store scene before, but you are right, thank you! I had not noticed that something more serious was going on inside me, and I am indeed trying to break into myself through my self improvement / spiritual growth efforts, which I had let slide and abandoned focusing on less serious things instead. I did not at first realize that, but then I did. Interestingly I live this dream from a teenaged boy perspective, one could say that it is from the perspective of myself that is rather clueless, rebellious, immature: in other words from the perspective which was in charge of my lack of spiritual growth for the last three months.

      In the dream with my mother, stepfather, and stepfather's brother, and my non existant brother (who by the way is also a young male - perhaps he is not present in this dream because he got arrested for stealing cake in the previous dream ): what makes my interpreting this dream tougher, is that I have complex relationships, and stereotypical limited perspective on my stepfather's brother - maybe I should have mentioned that in real life I do not know him well enough, but from the little I know I do not like the man. Furthermore, my stepfather as any "in control" over me, while possible, but it is a stretch from real life: I never accepted that he had any control over me. In real life after the divorce I staid with my father, not my mother and stepfather, and for years I would not even call him my stepfather but rather "my mother's second husband". Nowadays though we get along much better, and he was the one who helped my older son learn how to ride a bike, and I trusted him with that. I am no longer as angry with him nor with my mother as I was after the divorce over 20 years ago. Still if I were to list the number of people who have authority over me, my stepfather would not be among them. Though a stepfather usually would be.

      Not sure whether that changes anything in the interpretation. Not that the interpretation did not sound right, because it did, but the perceptions of the key players ought to make a difference in my mind, I figure.
