Other people’s dreams are never interesting…except when they’re about sex. Each week, our dream analyst Lauri Loewenberg tells one lucky reader what their dirty dream means. Got a dream you want Lauri to analyze? Click here to submit it. This week, a reader asks Lauri:
My dream is about a threesome. It starts off with me (female femme lesbian) going on a trip to some musical theater on a blue bus. There are a whole bunch of people on the bus. I guess that it’s a college trip of some kind. There is a girl (stud lesbian who I’ll call Alex) who I went to high school with and had a huge crush on. We both talked and flirted before in real life but now we’re just friends. Another person on the bus I recognized was Alex’s ex (bisexual girl who I’ll call Mia). In real life, there’s bad tension between Mia and me — we don’t talk.
In the dream my sketch pads started falling out of my bag. It seemed like I was stressed out and in a hurry. After I got all my stuff together I went to the bathroom to put it all in my bag. When I looked up I saw Alex and Mia talking. They both came to me and Alex said, “I wish I could have both of you.” We all put our arms around one another. I made out with Mia while Alex felt around both of us. Did I mention the bathroom was blue? We all had sex and rushed back to the bus. The three of us sat next to each other, laughing and smiling, putting a huge blanket over all of us. I fingered Mia while Alex kissed my neck and shoulders, touching my breasts, and then she fingered me.
When I woke up I remembered Alex had to do my hair this weekend and I got really nervous because I realized that Alex and Mia just broke up and I would love if this happens in real life. I feel horrible that I want this. I’ve always really wanted Mia to like me but she doesn’t because I flirt with Alex. They’re both gorgeous and it seemed like a dream come true.
Lauri: We tend to dream about what is on our mind the most, and through the dream we try to work out the issue. While the idea of a threesome with these two ladies is something that excites you, I think the dream is more about your desire to get rid of the tension and have harmony with them, which is why you were headed to a musical in the dream.
I think the sketch pads falling out of your bag symbolize the “falling out” that Mia and Alex had. Is there something “sketchy” about that breakup or about Mia? If not, then the sketch pads would symbolize your ability to create an ideal situation out of this.
Going into the bathroom is another sign that you wish to relieve yourself of the tension and perhaps even the emotional angst of not having Alex for yourself after all these years. What Alex says in there — “I wish I could have both of you” — is really coming from you. This is a thought you generated. So again, this is about your desire to have harmony among the three of you, your wish to have them both on your side. And sex acts in dreams are often about the need to “come together” on some level in waking life.
All the blue in this dream suggests you have been “blue” about the situation… or about something. It seems your dreaming mind is urging you to take this as an opportunity to finally create harmony. Let us know how it goes!
