Hi
Comments from the dream enthusiasts and anyone else would be appreciated.
I have read before that dreaming of sex with a female could mean that we want to identify with our feminine side. I have had dreams of this nature in the past that have embarressed me but that I have not giving much energy to.
Last night I dreamt that my colleague at work was trying to kiss me and was being very forceful and I was becoming hysterical. I woke up whimpering and crying and in a total sweat. We used to be close friends but I consider our relationship to be work based now. I have no problem with that. I am scornful of some of her behaviours and lately have feelings that she cannot be trusted. Once again, it isn't an issue that bothers me.
I don't understand this dream or what it could possibly mean or what the significance of me feeling so hysterical was all about.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Sabrina

Hi Sabrina,
I think if I'd had this dream, it wouldn't have meant anything sexual. It would've been probably more about the co-worker herself, and her desire to be friends again, and my choice to withdraw from that. Could be my subconscious picked up on things between her and I during the day that my conscious then had to be made aware of? Not sexual, but that context in the dream was a good way of getting my attention.

Sabrina,
Since the vast majority of my dreams can be recognized as me struggling against controlling behavior on someone else's part, I would see that in this also.
And you are resisting it.
Like Susan said, you are rejecting the idea of renewing the friendship. ?

Dreams show your unconscious feelings, but usually in disguise. So when I dream of friends or colleagues, I think it is not necessarily anything about them, but more about what or who they might represent to me. eg, if I dream of an older man in authority such as my boss, then the real meaning might be about my father. Or if I dream of a friend who is sexy / flirtatious, then it might be about that aspect of my self.
So your colleague's appearance is perhaps nothing about her, but is an instrument for depicting something else. What are these behaviours of hers that you are scornful of? And what could they mean in your own life? Is there a parallel behaviour of your own or someone close to you that you can think of? Something that is affecting your life in a forceful way and making a hidden part of you feel hysterical?

With all your thoughts and comments together, I think it could well be that I do not wish to renew the friendship. Whenever she asks me personal questions, I evade and try not to answer. I have found that she is indiscreet and not trustworthy. She is also considered to be "loose" amongst the men in the company and I don't want to be associated with that.
Fortunately, our working relationship is fine and there is no tension between us.
I don't really give her much thought so had wondered why she was appearing in a dream!
Thanks for all the input.
Sabrina
