Discover the dream symbol interpretation and spiritual meaning

Western/Modern

Depending the context of your love dreams it can have different meaning to it all together. A powerful unconscious connection between two people that often relate to a merging of unconscious energies. Regardless if these people are known or unknown, this is an attraction to what needs to be incorporated within the dreamer psyche – Carl Jung integration of the anima or animus masculine and feminine traits.

Biblical

To dream of sexual intercourse may be the result of having contact with a person influenced by a spirit of perversion. Sexual content in a dream may also result from being in a relationship with someone past or present

Jungian

Since dreams allow for the free exploration of feelings, it is common to dream of sharing affection, sex or intimacy with people other than your mate. As you 'role play' by experiencing the different aspects of yourself, it can be portrayed by various characters, where you sometimes behave in a masculine way (mounting/dominating) another masculine character (your aggressive and assertive nature.) You are merely exploring your desire to be more aggressive. You may dream of being unusually sensitive or affectionate with another woman, or in a feminine way, as a way of 'embracing' or exploring the idea of increased sensitivity within you. The side of you this person represents and how you approach them in the dream, will feel 'clandestine,' only in proportion to how you are currently not 'embracing' or integrating this side of yourself in waking life.
