Hi Holly\u2014 \u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/span>I am sorry to learn of your disturbing dream. It had a gloomy ending, but I\u2019m not sure that\u2019s how it will end in real life! \u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/span>Your dream reflects concerns that Steve, your boyfriend of three years now, may be hiding something in his \u201ccloset.\u201d When he opens the door and Josh emerges (who is gay in real life), Steve\u2019s dilemma is exposed. Steve is attracted to men, in addition to being attracted to you! \u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/span>A simple interpretation of your dream is that you have recognized, at a subconscious level, that Steve really is gay, and that he is keeping this information from you (hidden in the closet). Continuing on this theme, you may suspect Josh is Steve\u2019s lover in real life, or he may simply represent (because he is gay) a general fear that Steve is attracted to men. \u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/span>Once you learn that Josh and Steve \u201cwear the same clothes,\u201d a \u201cspider-bee-thing\u201d flies along and stings you both. Spiders in dreams often are associated with \u201ccreepy\u201d people and feelings — things we wish to avoid in our waking lives. Similarly, bees tend to \u201cbug us,\u201d and they carry a sting. If the creepy feeling that has been bugging you is your suspicion that Steve is gay, your dream suggests this suspicion may \u201ckill\u201d your relationship, represented by your deaths at the end of the dream. \u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/span>Before you worry too much about the meaning of this dream, it\u2019s time to do a feelings check. If you genuinely are suspicious of Steve\u2019s sexual orientation, this dream is a sign that it is time to bring the topic \u201cout of the closet\u201d and \u201conto the table.\u201d If Steve tells you he is attracted to other men, your dream suggests his interest may be a \u201cdeal breaker.\u201d (Translation: Break-up time!) \u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/span>If Steve is uncertain of his feelings, you both may want to take a break, to allow each other to explore your emotions. Finally, if you think the only reason you had this dream is because you are worried about losing Steve, and because some of your other male friends are gay (Josh), it may be time to bring some of your own fears out of the closet. Just because Josh and Steve are friends, doesn\u2019t mean Steve also is gay, or that Josh is trying to steal him away! \u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/span>What\u2019s the message of this dream? It\u2019s time for you and Steve to talk. You may end up saying good-bye, but you also may wind up having a very good laugh!<\/span><\/p>\n
