I saw a black car in my dream and I’ve been on the edge. I mean, I don’t like cats anyway. But there’s this thing they say about seeing black cats, I hope I’m just being nervous for nothing.

That’s absurd! I love cats, irrespective of their colours. Black cats are like any other cat. They are beautiful just like any other cat. You should love them just as you would any other cat. I had a black cat that was a mix of Persian and Siamese. He was gorgeous with beautiful green eyes. I hand raised him and as we all know, hand raised kittens are the sweetest things on the planet. They love you no matter what. You can hang them upside down and they don’t care. He was my first cat and I learned the hard way about why you should neuter your pets. He ran out of the house looking for a fight and never came back. Probably someone like you who hates black cats came across him and killed him.
That’s just another stupid and baseless superstition people need to unlearn. I don’t believe my luck will change if I see a black cat in my dream. I try to avoid having superstitions. There is zero evidence that they have a basis in fact, except to the extent that if you believe things are going to go well or badly on a particular day, you are quite capable of turning that into a self-fulfilling prophecy. Psychologically it’s much healthier to set yourself the goal of putting in the best effort you can on whatever you do, but accepting that sometimes things outside your control will determine the outcome.
But human brains are designed to overfit patterns and seek meaning where there is none, and it’s hard to shake superstitions entirely.
