The dreams always make us feel a little awkward. What do they mean? Do we secretly wish we were with the other person? Is our relationship in trouble? Is this the beginning of the end?<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: verdana,geneva;\">Fortunately, none of these scenarios really is indicated. To the contrary, the only thing we can say about these dreams is that they suggest to us &#8211; fairly convincingly &#8211; that we find our dream lover attractive in some way.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: verdana,geneva;\">I suspect your dreams are indicators you find your lover\u2019s friend attractive, and that you are sexually curious about him. Before you get worried, though, it\u2019s important to recognize that it\u2019s normal to be attracted to attractive people. Your lover\u2019s best friend most likely shares many similar values, interests, and qualities as your lover. Hence &#8211; the attraction.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: verdana,geneva;\">Just to make it all the more complicated (and tempting), have you considered that, most likely, your lover\u2019s friend finds you attractive as well? It\u2019s a potentially volatile situation, but at this point there hardly appears to be any compelling reason, other than sexual curiosity, to break up this mutual admiration society.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">It is a hallmark of maturity to be able to recognize attraction without being compelled to act upon it. Another way of saying this is that there\u2019s a world of difference between thinking about something &#8211; and actually doing it. The Dream Doctor\u2019s advice? Accept the compliment of mutual attraction between yourself and your lover\u2019s friend. But keep the fires burning at home.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva;\"><\/p>\n<p><span><span style=\"color: red;\">Back to the <a href=\"https:\/\/damwebserver.com\/dreamdoctor\/articles\/best-friend\/\" id=\"966\" option=\"com_content\">original dream<\/a> <br \/>Back to list of <\/span><span style=\"color: purple;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/damwebserver.com\/dreamdoctor\/articles\/romance-dreams\/\" id=\"31\" option=\"com_content\"><span style=\"color: #800080;\">romance dreams<\/span><\/a> <\/span> <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","categories":[3194,3184],"class_list":["post-36047","articles","type-articles","status-publish","hentry","category-copy-of-betrayal","category-romance-dreams-answer"],"acf":{"article_id":"1042"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/damwebserver.com\/dreamdoctor\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/articles\/36047","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/damwebserver.com\/dreamdoctor\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/articles"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/damwebserver.com\/dreamdoctor\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/articles"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/damwebserver.com\/dreamdoctor\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=36047"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/damwebserver.com\/dreamdoctor\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=36047"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
