DREAM OF HAVING AN AFFAIR
I keep having this dream that I am having an affair with my babysitter’s son. I have had this dream twice already. I don't understand why this is happening. At first it I thought it was because he was on my mind because he is having a hard time dealing with Post Traumatic Stress from fighting the war in Iraq. Please help me with this issue. It is really about to drive me crazy trying to figure out why. I feel confused.
WHAT IT MEANS
Sex or having an affair in a dream can be a story about getting very close to someone and interacting in a personal, close way.
Sex in a dream is often a metaphor for getting close. It sounds as though your heart may understand what he’s going through and wants to reach out to him to help him. Because you feel sympathy for him, you may be able to help him heal or take steps he needs toward healing. Sometimes all it takes is being around someone who understands. It's not what you say, just feeling safe doig things together. For example, could he help with chores such as painting a house or repairs? Anything that gets him involved in doing things and being around people who care can bring healing.
Bottom line:
The dream sounds like an invitation from your inner self to help this young man. Get him to do some activities or be around people in a way that feels safe for him.
