Sad dream

I had a really upsetting dream last night. It took place in this weird abandoned street, where everyone lived on the fire-escapes of the buildings and it was always dark and cloudy. I had just gotten home, and Matt came out to tell me that Boots had kittens. He showed them to me and told me two of them had died. One looked just like a tiny baby Boots and her eyes were still quivering, but Matt said she had been a stillborn or "she was born asleep and never woke up." The other dead kitten looked really limp and doll-like (just like the real dead kitten i found in my yard) and this one looked like a little Blanche. Matt told me that she had fallen down the stairs. Then he told me there were three more kittens, but one of them had disappeared. The other two were striped, one grey and one orange. He told me they might not make it. I remember being really sad, especially for Boots, since they were her babies. Then the dream all of a sudden was at a beach in the evening, and me and Matt were walking down to the water. There was a sign that said "Shark day: please be careful of sharks, but don't worry, they are not deadly" or something like that. I was nervous about going into the water, so we stayed in the really shallow, ankle-deep tide. Then we were walking down the beach and I saw a big black thing. Matt thought it was a shark, but I didn't think so and approached it. It looked like a man-sized black sperm whale, and it was dying on the beach. I knew I had to help it, so i started rolling it back into the water, but I had to be careful because it was trying to bite me. When I got it in the water, it swam away, but then suddenly the water got really deep and me and Matt were treading water and there were shark-looking shadows swimming around out feet. Then I woke up.
