Thread: The mysterious "Maxine"

This morning I had a very strange dream that was unlike any other I've had before.

In the actual world, I live alone. I'm in my early 40s, I am single and have been for a long time, although not by choice. I love women and would love to have a relationship with someone special.

My dream was situated in my apartment. I have no idea how it came about, but a young woman had begun to share my residence. For some reason, I'd taken her in as a co-tennant or something. She was quiet, and pleasant, and I felt very "in control" of the situation. I was not interested in her romantically, instead I had begun to accept her as "part of the furniture". Neither did I think she would be interested in me.

My focus was instead on a male friend and colleague of mine (Andrew) who had come/was coming to visit that day. We were going to sort out matters of interest to us. I was very looking forward to the meeting.

But whilst (or after) Andrew was visiting, my focus turned to the young woman. I couldn't remember her name. She had told me, but I kept forgetting it. She was talking, but there seemed to be a lot of "noise" in the background and I was struggling to hear what she was saying.

I was talking to her, but she couldn't seem to hear me either. I kept trying to hear or recall her name, but I just couldn't get it. I kept trying and trying, really wanting to know what this nice young woman's name was. She told me I was too quiet and would have to speak louder. So I asked her again what her name was, and this time finally, I got a clear answer that I could remember. Her name was Maxine.

Maxine was an attractive and pleasant young woman. It felt like a bit of a breakthrough. And Maxine seemed very happy also. From that point, she started to be very friendly towards me, and I began to feel that she was very interested in me in a romantic sense. This made me feel really good.

Suffice to say, this was a very pleasant dream that left me feeling hopeful. But it was also, very mysterious to me. The name "Maxine" means nothing to me in the actual world.

Your interpretations would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
