Understanding the meaning...

Hello everyone. I truly hope that this is a serious site as I am desperate for some kind of interpretation to some of the things that I dream. First of all I'd like to point out that I'm the kind of person that believes that the greater percentage of dreams, say, 85+ percent, have some sort of meaning relative to the normal, waking conciousness. That being said, my dream: About an hour after a session of ravenous lovemaking with my girlfriend I finally passed out. She went to sleep maybe 30 minutes before me. In my dream there were two dragons. One had the mastery of the other and commenced to devour the other, alive. The one being eaten alive wailed in torment. There were other things that happened too, but weren't as important, or as vivid, as the two dragons. When I awakened I glanced at my girlfriend, who had her back to me. I wanted to put my arm around her and have her turn to face me. However, I wasn't quite sure that the person laying next to me was her. I immediately sensed as if something had been controlling her body, some foreign entity, spirit. Overriding my irrational fears (even as it was a fear developed between conciousness and unconsiouness) I grabbed her and pulled her toward me until she let out a faint purr. Again I was confident it was really her. NOW, I know that the dream had something to do with us, her AND me. I also am aware that when someone dreams of dragons, as explained by various other sites, that they have something to do with a person's passions (sensual pleasures?). But I'd like some kind of decent interpretation to MY dream. Can anyone offer a reasonable and mature answer, suggestion? Thank you.

First off, WELCOME TO THE FORUMS!

Second, if you want seriousness, I would advise you to stay away from Senseless Banter...

Third, I would say that if you two are the dragons, then maybe it was you eating her. And if dragons mean passion, maybe it means you swallowed her passion? Or if she ate you, then maybe it means you became swallowed in her passion?

I think that it is quite possible that this was a dream about being consumed by sexual passion. Perhaps your subconscious was recognizing that sexual passion can sometimes become painful or even destructive. Maybe it was hinting at a desire to become "one" in a literal sense. I don't know what your emotional relationship is with your girlfriend. Love can often feel like a desire to become one being, and not just in the sexual joining of bodies sense.

The disorienting sense that you may not be in bed with your girlfriend as you awoke seemed to be as disturbing as the dream. Intense feelings of fear or even that creepy "you are not alone" sensation is surprisingly common upon awakening from a dream. It is related to the chemical changes that happen when your body enters and leaves sleep paralysis. Sleep paralysis is a normal biological event that every healthy person goes through every time they enter REM (dream) stage sleep. Basically sleep paralysis happens to keep your sleeping body from getting up and acting out your dreams which would obviously be very dangerous! So, although your experience was intense and creepy, it was normal and caused by healthy biological processes.

Hope my two cents helps!:D
