I dreamed I was in a car with a lot of my friends, boys and girls about my own age. (I didn't recognize any of my friends in real life.) We were driving to a party in a suburb of C--. It was snowing outside. Finally, after we got to the house, I went in and took off my coat. The house was crowded and was thick with smoke. I sat down on a maroon sofa. No one else was sitting on it. Then the hostess walked over and handed me a glass. It looked like ginger ale but I suspected there was liquor in it and did not taste the drink. Someone else came over and introduced Dr. --- to me. (This is a person I had been dating, but hadn't seen in 2 months; was quite depressed.) I looked up. It was the same person, yet he didn't look the same. He wasn't as handsome. He sat down on a chair next to the sofa and was toying with his drink. His sleeves were up a little and I could see he had hairy arms. We conversed. But he had a know-it-all attitude, was curt and abrupt and almost rude. A smile was on his lips all the time. Then everyone seemed to dissolve and there was just the 2 of us. He put down his drink, sat down next to me on the sofa. I knew he was going to kiss me. Then he put his arms around me. I was expectant. When he did kiss me I pushed him away. I didn't like it and I didn't like him any more. I knew then that he had never had any true love for me and had merely been leading me on. I saw him then for what he really was. Interpretation I had been thinking of him for some time. I had thought I was in love with him. Everyone told me he didn't really care for me but I couldn't believe it. Recently, I met someone else who was so fine and considerate I couldn't help comparing the 2 men. This dream was a sign to me that I shouldn't waste my time thinking of him any more. He had merely been "stringing me along." Answers to questions 2. Joy, hate, despair, relief3. Participant. 4. 5. 6. Never had this dream before7. Maroon sofa
