please interpret my dream!

Last night, I dreamt of having sexual intercourse with what I can only describe as a hermaphrodite... :/ Although, open to ideas lol
It was sensual and beautiful and in the dream it felt like all I'd ever wanted.
The anticipation through foreplay was killer, I've never desired someone so much, it was like I knew I was about to be whole. Complete. Then he revealed himself to have genitalia like I'd never encountered before... Had a penis and balls as expected, but "inverted" inside a hole/vagina-like thing I guess :/ Coming out as his erection grew and he prepared for penetration. He had full control of whether it was in or out and he did his prep with locked gaze on my eyes as I waited with painful anticipation. Desperate for him.
It was almost overpowering how bad I wanted that him - all of him. And, although it was like nothing I'd ever seen before, it felt right. Normal even, though I guess I knew it wasn't, compared with other male genitalia I'd seen before - I registered that on a conscious level in the dream but didn't care. He was perfect and I wanted to have him in and around me, no matter what.
Honestly my weirdest dream ever! We were on a bed of sorts but like huge 7ft+ bed with fabrics swishes down like there was wind around us. It was dark but I think there was night sky above ys but to be honest, I was just totally captivated my him and his gaze. The whole thing was beautiful and pretty breathtaking. I woke just as we were about to join together. Like I said the feeling of completeness or at least the anticipation of that completeness that would come from the following moments.
My dreams are often weird but this... this is off the charts weird haha! Help!
The one who was a hermaphrodite in the dream is also someone I kind of know (and am attracted to) in real life... I'm really drawn to him but surely, I don't fancy him enough for it to mean anything directly about feelings for him, right? It's a bit fast haha only met a couple of times and we've barely spoken because I'm too shy and nervous around men I'm attracted to :/ I also don't tend to get really into/attached to guys easily. I've been single for the best part of a decade for this reason. However, like I said I'm super drawn to him in reality and feels strange but good :/ I don't know. He is a dance instructor at the adult classes I've begun, although that's not quite how we met.
If you could offer any light on it at all, I would be most grateful. Hasn't left my mind all day. Driving me nuts, to be honest!

Or what preceded it or what you'd have to do before to become complete is difficult.
The male inverted inside the female can be this male quality was inside, that you wanted to come out and penetrate you as in become you.
Male might mean all about the outside world and how you want to be in it: Like confident, assertive, action.
You had full control of whether it was in or out.

It felt right. Normal even, though I knew it wasn't, compared with other male genitalia I'd seen before - I registered that on a conscious level in the dream but didn't care. He was perfect and I wanted to have him in and around me, no matter what.

Maybe you registered it wasn't normal to be too introverted, so it was so right to come out of yourself and maybe you just didn't care about your inhibitions or what others think.

This is a great dream.

There are undoubtedly examples of androgynous people in literature and mythology. I mentioned this because many of our dreams have mythological themes.

There is also a psychological interpretation of the symbol of the hermaphrodite. Perhaps the best know psychologist who delved into the symbolism of the hermaphrodite is Carl Jung. He saw the hermaphrodite as symbolizing the joining of opposites. He also realized that this development of the individual is analogous to the alchemical process of turning the base metal into gold. In alchemy, this step is called Conjunction. The 7 Steps in Alchemical Transformation

A Jungian would probably say that this Conjunction step is part of the Individuation Process where the person grows and develops and become a whole person.

Okey dokey now – so what does all this have to do with this dream?
In this dream, the hermaphrodite symbolizes the joining of opposites. In our dreams, this is sometimes seen as lovers, a bride and groom, or as a married couple. The hermaphrodite is an extreme of this joining. This is a good sign.

In Jungian psychology (in a woman’s dream), this is usually the joining of the shadow and the animus. The shadow is always the same sex as the dreamer while the animus is always male. This is a big step in the individuation process.

Hope this helps.
