Little Black Dot

dear universe,
last night in a dream
a black cat catted up to me. i took a white candlestick
and put it in the cat's mouth. i lit the candle and the cat
held it between its teeth, and when the wick burned all the way
down, the cat swallowed the flame and its eyes burned out from the inside.
and the cat just sat there staring at me through the holes where its eyes had been,
candle wax pussing out of them.
what does this mean? was the cat me?
should i be scared? i feel scared.
love,
chelsea
