I love to hear people's interpretations. I'm still waiting for my other friend to chime in, but if I had to think about what it all meant, this is what I would guess:

1 ) Putting his arms around me and kissing my neck is comforting and soothing. That was actually more the feeling than sexual. It seemed more sexual while I tried to recall it. The fact that he wrapped himself around me from behind just seemed like he "has me covered" or "has my back."

2) The stuff - ALL OVER is my BS that I'm trying to get through. It was just so much and it was EVERYWHERE.

3) Probably the easiest thing to interpret is the naked thing - vulnerability as you said. COMPLETELY naked yet pushed up against the dresser so nobody could see me. I guess when I saw it was him, it was OK to expose a LITTLE, hence the sheer curtain I covered myself up with. I can roll with your foggy mirror thing as well.

I really am and he really is. I'm about to lose my job so I don't know what kind of insurance I'll have if any. He always says we'll work something out, but he's not solo. Technically he's still an intern so he is working under someone. Don't know how they will feel about these reduced rates.

These dreams are going to drive me crazy though. Right now I can only think of one other, but what has happened in the past is that I will dream of someone (a guy) and then get this CRAZY crush. That's how I became so obsessed with Duran Duran at 14 - honestly I didn't even know who they were up until that point except in passing. I KNOW it happened one other time but I can't remember who. I just remembered thinking of the Duran Duran thing. But it wasn't as strong obviously because I don't remember it, but it was there. When my brain starts turning them around in this new light it's kind of crazy making.
