Your dream, while confusing, is a powerful message as well. Lauri: It rubs my fur the wrong way when someone dismisses a dream as “just a dream.” I understand that it’s what we tell ourselves to shake off the realness of the dream, but the truth is, a dream - no matter how disturbing - is a very powerful message from you, to you and about you. Is it just a dream and I should make nothing of it, or is it telling me something?
Last night I dreamt I was just holding hands and kissing him and felt amazing about it. He’s really open but I’m 100% sure he’s straight. In real life I don’t believe I fancy the guy, and I certainly don’t want to, as nothing good is ever going to come from that. I’m a gay guy, 23, and I’ve been having dreams about my straight best friend - either sex or making out or just being romantic with him. Got a dream you want Lauri to analyze?
