Key to Consciousness

Still dreaming. There's only so much of certain types of dreams that I care to give away. I will give you a glance though.

Yesterday morning I woke up from a dream about my mom. I realized that I should call her. And I imagined the scenario in which I would call her and tell her I dreamt of her. She would ask how it was. I would, in new found realization, genuinely honestly tell her that none of my dreams of her are pleasant. That is, in the many recent years, since my parents divorce at least as far as I can tell. There was one pleasant one that sprouts to my mind. Although this is besides the point, I do want to write this dream down because it appears I have not yet done so.

It wasn't a very long dream at all. My mom and I were on a road trip, not sure where to. In fact, I don't think we really knew either, we just knew we were going to and we had to. This dream occurred at least over a year ago so I don't remember everything. I believe we barely made it away from home and we forgot something and had to turn back. The clearest thing I remember about this dream was the gorgeous view and the brief words we exchanged. We had the radio on, and one of us [I can't remember who now] asked the other what band was playing that particular song, the other responded in a soft spoken happy fashion "Bliss". And that was the end. This dream always stays in my mind because, well it was good, second I did tell my mom about it and she appreciated it. She really liked the "Bliss" part. And now I always associate that word with her.

Back to present day, this unpleasant dream I had of my mom yesterday involved her relapsing and getting drunk and me being extremely angry. It was quite an epic dream and a couple of my friends were also involved. I've blocked a good deal of it out of my mind already and do not wish to discuss it further in writing.

Today, the dream is a little personal, so my description may be brief in certain aspects. I still share these for the sake of remembering and reflecting. A lot of the beginning and transitions are really blurry to me, but certain parts/scenes are clear. I believe it all started with picking up a woman whose car broke down. There was eventually a guy with me, let's call him Luke, and maybe another person too. I don't remember how the guy came into the picture but he was a stranger to me, also helping the woman in some way. There was a lot of driving around and maybe walking. It was also epic but I'm forgetting the details. There was a part where me and Luke and some other guy [perhaps the woman's husband] were driving some badass car on a freeway. Luke was driving, the other man in the passenger seat and me in the back. We had something large in the car and maybe with the back door open. Luke was some sort of master driver because he was doing all sorts of stunts, which may and may not have been necessary. I do know that at least some of it was to save our asses, which he did do. Despite possible danger, I know I became attracted to Luke at that point. Luke was a bit older than me, grunge looking with long hair and tattoos. The next and final thing I remember was that Luke and I stayed at the house of the woman we helped. Because of all our help and various circumstances she insisted we stay. For whatever reason Luke and I had a room together and a large bed. I don't know if it started out that way or if I decided to sneak in there. This immediately escalated to sex. It was pretty awesome too, however I won't go into detail. I will say that I've only had a few dreams that I can recall that involve me having sex with a total stranger. And when that does occur it's practically the only time that it's full-on sex and at least someone finishes [usually the guy]. They are definitely the most thrilling of my dreams. Obviously this could be the case because I never have sex with strangers. Anyways I thought it was interesting and so are the interpretations.

To dream about sex refers to the integration and merging of contrasting aspects of yourself. It represents psychological completion. You need to be more receptive and incorporate aspects of your dream sex partner into your own character. Consider the nature of the love-making. Was it passionate? Was it slow? Was it wild? The sex act parallels aspect of yourself that you wish to express. A more direct interpretation of the dream, may be your libido's way of telling you that it has been too long since you have had sex. It may indicate repressed sexual desires and your needs for physical and emotional love. If you are looking for a place to have sex, then the dream may be analogous to your search for intimacy and closeness. You want to rekindle some relationship. 
If you dream of having sex in a public place, then the dream implies that others are talking about your private relationship. 
To see your parents having sex in your dream indicate that you are seeing similar aspects between their relationship and your current relationship. Most of us cringe at the thought of our parents having sex, so this dream imagery is really trying to get your attention. Consider your parents' real life relationship together and what you can learn from it. 
To dream about sex with someone other than your spouse or significant other suggests dissatisfaction with the physical side of your relationship. On the other hand, it may be harmless fantasy. In such situations, you may find that you are less inhibited sexually. Perhaps you need to bring the same sense of adventure into your existing relationship. 
If you dream that you are having sex with a celebrity, then it indicates your drive to be successful. You are striving for recognition. Consider what movies you associate this celebrity with for clues as to where and what you want to achieve success in. 
To dream that you are having sex with an ex or someone who is not your current mate denotes your reservations about embarking in a new relationship or situation. You may feel nervous about exposing yourself and are feeling a resurgence of those old emotions and feelings that you felt back when you and your ex were together. If you are approaching your wedding date, then is not uncommon to experience especially erotic adventures with partners other than your intended spouse. This may be due to the intensity of the sexual passion with your fiance. It also relates to the new roles that you will be taking on and the uncertainty that that may bring. 
If you dream that you are having sex with a stranger, then it represents uncertainty about what is ahead. Alternatively, the dream allows you to experiment freely without having any hang ups, emotional baggage or preconceived notions associated with a person you would know. In such a scenario, you are able to let loose and express your desires, passions and emotions. In particular, if you dream of having sex with multiple partners at the same time, then it indicates that you are feeling detached in your personal relationship. You feel that sex is just an act devoid of any emotion or passion. Perhaps your sex life has become too automated. 
If you are heterosexual and you dream that you are having sex with someone of the same sex, then it represents an expression of greater self love and acceptance. You need to be in better touch of your feminine or masculine side. The dream does not necessarily imply homosexual desire. 

To dream that you do not achieve orgasm, signifies some frustration in your life. Something is leaving you unfulfilled and unsatisfied. Note that the frustration may not necessarily be sexually related. 

On another note, for the majority of that dream a small dog was present. He was so adorable and so obedient. He mostly acted this way because of me, he really liked me. He was the calmest, cuddliest little thing ever, he would just lay on the middle console of the car between Luke and I. So cute and almost impossible to name the type for he was a little unreal. I know a lot of puppy/dog dreams stems from the fact that I want to get a new dog really bad. It will be one of the first things I will do once I get a place of my own.

To see a puppy in your dream symbolizes your playfulness and carefree nature. It also refers to a blossoming friendship. If you are taking care of a puppy, then it means that you are reliable and trustworthy. Others can depend on you, especially during difficult times.
To see a dog in your dream symbolizes intuition, loyalty, generosity, protection, and fidelity. The dream suggests that your strong values and good intentions will enable you to go forward in the world and bring you success. The dream dog may also represent someone in your life who exhibits these qualities. Alternatively, to see a dog in your dream indicates a skill that you may have ignored or forgotten. If the dog is vicious and/or growling, then it indicates some inner conflict within yourself. It may also indicate betrayal and untrustworthiness. If the dog is dead or dying, then it means a loss of a good friend or a deterioration of your instincts. Also consider common notions associated with the word dog, such as loyalty ("man's best friend") and to be "treated like a dog". 
To hear barking in your dream suggests that you are annoying those around you with grumpiness and fussiness. The dream may also be analogous to your tendency of barking orders at people, instead of asking or talking kindly. Alternatively, barking refers to unhappy and disgruntled companions. To dream that a dog bites your on the leg suggests that you have lost your ability to balance aspects of your life. You may be hesitant in approaching a new situation or have no desire to move forward with your goals. Alternatively, it symbolizes disloyalty. To see a happily barking dog in your dream symbolizes pleasures and social activity. You are being accepted into some circle. If the dog is barking ferociously, then it represents your habit of making demands on people and controlling situations around you. Are you "barking" too many orders? Alternatively, it could also indicate unfriendly companions. 
To dream that you are buying a dog indicates your tendency to buy your friends or buy compliments and favors. Alternatively, it suggest a need for you to find companionship. If you are being guided by a dog, then it suggests that you are having difficulties in navigating out of a situation or problem.If you dream that you give or send your dog away, then it indicates that the decisions and choices you are making now may be misinterpreted as disloyalty. You have to do what is right for you and not worry about what others think of the decision. Alternatively, it signifies rejection of friendship. 
To dream that you are dressing up your dog signifies your attempts to cover up your own character flaws and habits.
