Crazy man, pharmacy, and inability to touch my girlfriend...

[Moonlight]

A few days ago I took a nap around 5:00pm or so. I slept for a good, 2 hours and had a dream. I usually NEVER dream when I nap, only when I'm in a deep sleep. Anyway, here's how the dream went down... Me, two of my friend Cody and Jesus, and my girlfriend Stephanie went to the mall. In the mall was an "in-staff" building where Jesus wanted to search for a job. Jesus and Cody stayed in there while Stephanie and I roamed the mall. We both have asthma, and we stopped by a pharmacy (weird mall, I know) and for some reason needed an inhaler. I bought one and we both used it, and we walked around some more. We roam back by and the pharmacists call us over saying that we needed a doctor's referral, or a good excuse to buy an inhaler. They accused us of wanting to "get high" off of the albuterol. (what?!) Well I'm telling the guys that I bought it for relief, when this loud, crazy guy stands near us and flips off the pharmacists and starts yelling. He then grabs mine and Stephanie's hands, and tries to force them together. A blinding light engulfs the room, and everything goes quiet. All the I can see is the man, and Stephanie. Our hands are so close, and I close my eyes. I wait to feel her hand in mine but it never comes. It feels like were struggling to hold each other. The light, the man, and the pharmacists dissapear and we walk back to the in-staff building. There, Stephanie and I sit far away from each other. She gets up, and starts to take her sweater off because she is hot. When she gets it off I wrapped my arms around her and snuggled next to her, and we both started to cry a little bit. I woke up after that, feeling horrible. I've never experienced something like this. I almost felt lucid, because I remember trying to decide if I should go hug Stephanie or not. I decided to, and actually felt as if my body jumped up and ran to her. Can anyone help me understand this?

I speculate this dream would not come in your deep sleep because the two hour nap is a different circumstance that produces different conditions and angle of pressure for your mind to behave and produce differently. You're insecure about your relationship. The mall is the attempt to impress someone. The pharmacy is the need to change something and find the solution within yourself. The asthma is your insecurity that you both have. The albuterol is the actual active ingredient to relax the lungs and open up the air ways that you dreamed about without knowing about. The crazy man I don't know, just some part of you. Light is understanding, and the bright light is the higher level awareness. You two could not join hands, meaning that you are really not connected. The sweater is probably her closeness to her family that makes her feel uncomfortable, and your hugging her suggest the staying friends after a break up. I have no idea why Cody & Jesus are in the dream, whatever their character is like. Jesus wanting to work in that mall suggests that he is big on impressing people. Perhaps either of these guys could become her next boyfriend. I'm sorry if you think I'm wrong, but this is the best guess I can come up with.

Well... neither of us are insecure at all. (At least I'm not) We're both extremely comfortable with eachother, we love each other, and we have had talks of marriage and life together. She's not really close with her family either... she distanced herself from her father (ice addict and a dumbass) and her mother constantly puts her down. She's met Jesus once, and has never met Cody. She's not a big fan of either as well... I spend too much time with them. I don't know of your intrepretation would be completely true... although some things do make perfect sense. (Jesus trying to impress for one) Thanks though. I sure HOPE yours isn't true!
