So, do you wanna play dream interpretation on my dream?

So, at first read, this will seem like a typical male fantasy dream. Anyone bothered by such things should stop here.

I’m at a party. As with most dreams, it’s a dreamy party, and there are all these half hidden people, and lots of comfortable chairs, like an old-fashioned college lounge. The first woman who appears is, in real life, the mother of a child who was one of my son’s best friends in preschool. She was being very interested in me, which surprised me because she’s married. I wondered if her relationship was in trouble.

I am not attracted to her in waking life, but somehow, in the dream, we ended up on some kind of chaise lounge, and, surrounded by other partiers (I am not an exhibitionist in real life) she stripped, and I thought she was very attractive, not to mention sexy.

We were about to make love, when another woman pops her head up from some conversation, sees me, and says, “Dalooooooon!” I look up and it’s a woman I’ve never met in real life, but have written to a lot online. Online, she has been very understanding an supportive of me. She’s quite intelligent (married, of course), and she is very popular online. She has made some choices that I didn’t like, but I imagine her to be very beautiful, and she has said that is the case. She’s also my age.

She was very excited to see me, and I got up (damn, unrequited love, yet again in a dream), and takes me to another room, where she proceeds to get naked (and she is hot!), and we’re together wrapped around each other, when woman number one comes in. She’s a little miffed to see me with woman number two, but I offer to let them both be with me. For a second they are, and then woman number two has disappeared.

Woman number one and I are about to make love, when I notice there are too many lights on. My dream ends in a way a lot of my dreams end. I am wandering around the room, turning off light after light, which is not easy, because some have switches on them in crazy places, and others have wall switches in crazy places. There are always more and more lights (kind of sisyphisian), and, at the end, I’m trying locate the switch for one of those awful florescent kitchen lights…

As usual, in such dreams, I never get to complete the act. Usually I forget dreams, but this one is really stuck in my mind. I wonder why it was these two particular women (usually they are women I don’t know).

So, have at it. Do your worst!

I’ve determined you are crazy.

Of course you knew this long before this dream.

You want woman #2 because you can’t have her. You can have woman #1. She interrupts you because she is trying to stop you from having woman #2 because you shouldn’t/can’t. She disappears because she didn’t stop you from wanting woman #1. And you are turning off all the lights because you are turning yourself off (or trying to).

That’s my interpretation….

well it doesn’t seem that symbolic or anything. You were probably just turned on at the time and for whatever reason connected that with some memory of those two women. I recently dreamt that I was gay and dating a guy I know in RL (we’re not friends, he’s just an aquaintance and I know for a fact he’s not gay). On top of that, there was this girl trying to make passes at me whom I also know in RL, and she’s not even pretty (nor has she ever shown any interest in me). The only connection is that I met both of those people at the same place. Which was not where we were in the dream. So go figure.

It’s just your mind playing games while re-arrnging the odd memories. Something like a HDD defragmentation.

Sex almost never means sex in dreams. Incomplete sex indicates there is stress in your life you’re not sure how to deal with.

The women being married has no bearing, but the women themselves do.

The point of your stress is, or you want to blame, some one you have meet before, but don’t know very well. The multiple women mean you believe the cause of your stress did not act alone, but your not sure who else is involved.

Women #2 disappears: your afraid of losing a friend if you take a certain action.

Almost making love, then turning off unending lights: you know what needs to be done, but either your not sure what, or, it is too great a task for you to complete alone. Also turning the lights off indicate you are not wanting others to know (see) what you are doing.

For most people who have trouble remembering dreams and suddenly do, it is because they woke either during or very shortly after the dream. As you were still turning off light, I would guess you woke during the dream.

It is up to you to see how this relates to what is happening in your waking life.

The lights are your dream’s way of saying: link

I’m most interested in the lights too.
Generally, lights going on is supposed to symbolize insight.

So if you are always going around trying to shut the lights off and there’s always another light on, then I would think that you are actively suppressing some decision or conclusion that is dancing at the front of your mind.

It can also sometimes symbolize a slip towards depression.
You’ve sort of been on a high lately, right? How did you feel today?
