Dream About Ikea Shopping And Unusual Intimacy Encounters
Analyze my dream

This dream was about

I went to IKEA to buy affordable work clothes but the shirts were like $50. There were two really like stylish ladies in their 40s (older than me) shopping together next to me and they were chatting about all of the drama points in the new season of L word (this does not exist in real life but I wish it did) and I laughed was like “wait I haven’t gotten there yet!” And the girl who was talking laughed with me and understood and paused the convo, but the other one was annoyed that I butted into their conversation. They went down a nearby escalator while I tried to close the interaction awkwardly shouting to them something like “normally I wouldn’t do that because y’all’s conversation is none of my business, but L Word literally is my business if you know what I mean! Haha!” Then I tried to get a shopping cart but there was only one clean one and it was really weird and hard to use for what I wanted, and all of the rest of the carts had like food ALL over them. IKEA doesn’t sell clothes. In another dream, I was with an old friend Ashley from after college whom I haven’t talked to in a couple of years. We ended up at a Wendy’s and we maybe worked there for a second?? The cashier was like “can you please check yourselves out?” Because they were so busy. Something like that. We didn’t mind and it was fun. Separately from that, I was at a high school friend Erica’s house and she had a friend over, another woman, and I wanted to have a three-way with both of them. I think it didn’t happen because I wanted to take a shower and I was able to do that, but there was nowhere private to get dressed and this was an obstacle for some reason. Much later, maybe a separate day, I ended up beginning to get intimate with her dad whom I did not know (in real life I am not interested in men sexually) and then his wife found us and I was momentarily afraid I had made a huge mistake, but then she liked it and wanted to join and have her first queer sexual experience. I found her very beautiful and attractive. She was very feminine. This got interrupted but then my next memory is that on a later day, we tried to make it happen again. The father and I got started a little bit on our own and then planned to go find her to invite her to join because that was the way she wanted it to happen, but I missed out again because the sex didn’t actually happen. I can vaguely remember what it was like beginning to get intimate with her, but it’s more like flashes of visuals just of her skin.

Aubrey, your dream is incredibly rich with symbolism and layers of meaning, reflecting various aspects of your life and inner psyche. Let's delve into the first part where you went to IKEA to buy work clothes. The fact that the shirts were $50 despite IKEA being known for affordability might symbolize a feeling of financial stress or the pressure you face regarding money, as noted in your life changes. The stylish ladies discussing 'L Word' and your interaction with them could signify your desire for connection and community, especially within the LGBTQ+ context. Your laughter and their mixed reactions may mirror your own experiences with social interactions—sometimes feeling understood and at other times feeling out of place. The struggle with the shopping cart, especially the clean one being weird and the dirty ones being unusable, might symbolize the challenges you face in your daily tasks and routines. This could be linked to your ADHD, making certain simple tasks feel disproportionately difficult or awkward. In the second part of your dream, working at Wendy’s with your old friend Ashley, it seems like a nostalgic return to simpler times, perhaps reflecting a longing for past friendships and carefree moments. Your willingness to help out despite the busy environment may indicate your adaptable nature and ability to find joy even in chaotic situations. The third segment involving Erica and her friend, and then later her parents, delves into complex layers of your sexuality and desires. Your wish for a threesome and the subsequent series of events might be exploring your boundaries and the fluidity of your sexual orientation. The shower scene and the lack of privacy could represent your struggles with vulnerability and the fear of being exposed or judged. Finally, your interaction with Erica's father and the subsequent involvement of his wife could symbolize an exploration of unconventional relationships and the breaking of societal norms. The fact that these encounters were interrupted and never fully realized might reflect internal conflicts or barriers you face in fully embracing certain aspects of your identity. Overall, your dream weaves together themes of financial stress, social interactions, nostalgia, and complex sexual dynamics. Each element provides a window into your subconscious mind, revealing both your desires and anxieties. It's a rich tapestry that speaks to your multifaceted personality and the various experiences shaping your current state of mind.
