Recorruing Dream

I have had some form of this dream for the past 2 months at least 2 times a month. It varies every time. So I will tell you two forms of the dream. Something to note about these dreams, the first one I had it was on a weekend and I was trying to sleep in. Everyone after that happened right after I feel asleep. I couldn't have been asleep more than an hour before I woke up.

Dream Form #1:
I am in an apartment, thats almost more like a house, but not. Its a very long one split lever house and my bedroom is located in the rear. I wake up and think hmm, where are my cats and Todd. I hear noises coming from outside my room. I then get up with an uneasy feeling that everything is not ok. I saw my cats and oddly my dogs ( I do not have any dogs, well except if you count Todd's dog Buddy, but these were very small yellpy dogs) running around being chased. And I saw Todd's friends just sitting there almost watching but not really, they were somewhat playing video games. Then right as I walked into the room, they up and left, which of course I was flabbergasted. I still didn't see Todd and was terribly worried. Then the cats started to go out the door with the boys and I was horrified that I would loose them. And chased after then, but could not move, I reached and reached but could do nothing, helpless in my own mind. Then woke up very upset and out of breath.

Dream Form #2:
It starts out similar, I am sleeping and I wake up and its this same place again. But this time there are several rooms I have to get to before I reach the main living area. This time I hear my cats screaming and I hear screeching going on. I run to the room and as I do, I become an observer of the scene, but yet a character at the same time. I see Monkey's chasing around my cats, terrorizing and attacking them. Then I see Zach Braff, the main character off of Scrubs talking to this lady. I drift over to them while trying my best to reach the cats and help them, but realizing I am an observer. I see he has a gun of some sort in his hand, and in his belt is this think that looks like a hand holding a knife. He says were gonna have to do our best to stop them, but its going to be hard. Then he pulls the "hand" out of his belt. And its a monkey's paw that was holding a knife, cleanly severed from its body, which is not seen. I look and see the kitties still running around trying to defend themselves from the Monkey's that have trapped them in a corner of the room. I try to reach them grasping and yelling as best I can unable to do anything. Then I wake up panting and upset.

I have no idea what this means, other than I have control issues, but I really wish it would stop interrupting me while I am trying to go to sleep =).

Office Visit

I'm sitting at my desk at work. For some reason, I am looking downward to grab something. Suddenly, I hear someone say my name.

Kevin!
I recognize that voice even in my dreams - it's my mom! I had no idea she was coming to visit (and I have no idea who let her through the security door).
Mom? What are doing here?
I give my mom a tour, introduce her to some of my coworkers and she leaves. I remember feeling very happy she was there.

As a side note, I've been putting myself under a lot of pressure - maybe that's how this whole dream happened?
