Kiss-kiss! Is this dream as simple as it seems?

[pezzonovante]

First, let me explain the real-life situation: I've fallen for one of my guy friends over the past several months.We'll call him "Jake". I've known him for 4 years, but I was already in a relationship and was faithful to my boyfriend. After I broke up with my boyfriend, I realized he was totally wrong for me and that Jake had all the qualities I was looking for. Jake is an amazing person. He is spiritual, kind, funny, hard-working, witty, dependable, honest, thoughtful, intelligent, mature, and very masculine. He's close to my age (mid 20's) but has an old soul and loves God more than anything. He knows how I feel about him but he has long-standing issues from his parents' badly handled divorce. He's a little wary of women in general, but is giving me signals that he is interested in me. Another close friend of mine (who is also his roomate) knows how I feel about Jake and encouraged me about him. We will call my other friend "Dante". Dante behaved as a completely friend to me until 2 weeks before Jake had to leave the the state for his job for several months. Dante asked me out on a date. I was shocked. I declined the offer, telling him I wasn't in the frame of mind to consider anyone else because I felt so strongly about Jake (and Dante knew that!).




So, here's the dream: I dreamed it is the day that Jake has to leave the state. I am walking on the sidewalk of a parking lot with Dante to meet Jake. Dante casually takes my hand to hold it. I don't notice for a second. Then I pull my hand away and get upset and tell him I don't want him pulling any more stunts like that again.

Then, I see Jake. My heart starts pounding and I forget I was ever angry a second ago. He takes me by the arm and we walk to a beautiful little coffee shop that is outdoors. It is night now. Glowing garden lights are strung everywhere overhead. The grass is thick, healthy, and vibrant green. We sit close to each other at a tiny round table and have a wonderful long conversation. It was just like the conversations we have in real life. It wasn't a weird dream conversation that didn't make sense. It was completely lucid and coherent. We talked about serious things, we joked with each other, we smiled and laughed, we talked about things we were both interested in and things we wanted to do in the future.

Then, it's time for him to go. We slowly walked back out to the parking lot where Dante and another friend of mine, "Gideon" were waiting to take me back home. I said goodbye to Jake and hugged him. Then I kissed him on the cheek. I immediately thought that was too bold (because I have never kissed him at all in real life). No sooner had I thought I shouldn't have done that, but he immediately responded by kissing me once on the neck. It wasn't an intense, sensual kiss on the neck. It was a sweet and quick kiss just like the kiss I gave him on the cheek, only it was on my neck. It surprised me! I was surprised not only because he responded so quickly and in that manner, but because Dante and Gideon were watching us the whole time!

It may sound simple to you guys, but I wonder about it. Any thoughts?

Here is my quick and dirty simple interp..........

the dream is your emotions telling you that you are aware that Dante wants you and also Dante is willing to make that known (hence the holding the hand), your reaction is not only that you don't like him, you feel he is betraying his friend Jake and you because he knows how you feel.

the kissing with Jake is your seeking his acceptance and willingness to accept you and to enter into a new relationship. That he reacted quickly is important as this is something he knows/feels and doesn't have to take time to consider. That Dante/other guy is watching is his and your public announcement that you are now a couple.

Again dreams are reflections of your emotions, not signs or predictions of the future.

Hope this helps. If not I will give you double your money back! LOL

Thanks cap1015! That clarified a fair amount of it!

I'm wondering if the placement of one of the kisses have any significance. The dream dictionary described a kiss on the neck as something like "the tendency to give in to temptation", but as you can see, that was not the tone of it in my dream.

Also, if anyone has a different take or thoughts on any other random things/details/surroundings in the dream, that would be interesting to hear about!

Ah me, this dream does seem to be telling of your emotions for Jake, but one must question your feelings for Dante, as he was in your dream too, and as you stated you did go on a date with him... Hope the insight helps!
