It's really hard for people to interpret their own dreams -- we are just guessing here -- but to interpret someone's version of someone's dream is impossible. That's because dreams have to do with what the dreamer is experiencing now. So even though we can tell you common symbols, it's your friend who should be interpreting his own dream. If I say these mean something bad will happen, well of course eventually something bad will happen but you shouldn't correlate the two. That is just superstition.

To dream of a child often means your inner child. Eyeballs may represent scrutiny, being watched, being examined or evaluated. I think he feels small and helpless in relation to someone who is putting him under scrutiny.

A cat also can mean many things. For example, a pet may mean a new "pet" project. Animals often represent animalistic urges of the dreamer. Let's just say something was tearing at his heart. Could it be the deaths? Possibly.
