Hi, Pegasister, thanks for sharing your interesting dream fragment.

I suspect, from the touch pattern of your crush's girlfriend's phone being the same as yours that you were using that character in your dream to represent an aspect of yourself. That you have two twin beds and one has you alone and the other has your crush and your "substitute" girlfriend self also shows two sides of you?

If it were my dream, I'd think the grandmother was an older/wiser sort of self and would look at the poking and what she says carefully. That the other two just watched that segment, I would think that "couple" aspect of myself was not involved in that particular grandmother interchange.

The poking immediately reminded me of Hansel and Gretel and how the witch was trying to fatten them up and kept poking them because she could not see well? Are you or have you been treated for an eating disorder or anything? If so, I'd look at how I saw my therapist's job/work with me, whether she might be like the grandmother, "poking" you too hard, etc.?

Again, if it were my dream, I'd look at the couple thing, what I wish and am doing about my crush and I'd look at my therapy or self help work and how I felt about it, whether I felt I was being pushed too hard or was working for someone else's goals, etc.

That you are never quite able to get to sleep, either as a single or couple, is a good thing to me; you don't want to go to sleep/to forget or ignore or not see/understand things that need addressing?
