So, I've recently been courting a new lady, or to put it more bluntly, I asked this girl Rachel out. After four days of running away from me, she finally said no because she's really shy. Now, the last few nights, she has been the absolute centerpiece of my dreams. I haven't had a dream I remember that she wasn't in. The first one featured a mutual friend of ours, Aly, whom I've used as my main mode of communication with Rachel (to avoid embarassing her, not cause I don't want to confront her), and the two of us in a car. Aly was manning the gas and brakes, and I was steering. Rachel got scared and she kinda cuddled up against me, and I made a remark about how great it was, and she got embarassed and ran away. I assume that I "forgot" I was in a car at this point. I then woke up, remembered the cuddling bit, got really happy for the two seconds it took to realise that the dream wasn't real, and then got upset. The same has happened for the other dreams, not all of which involved intimate contact. Any insight as to the meaning of the dream?
