THE DREAM - I had a very short dream which felt so realistic to me this morning. I was in my bed sleeping on my back and I woke up because with my friend on top of me. She was wrapping her hands around my neck and both of us were fully clothed me with what I was wearing and her with what she was wearing yesterday. We were having sex (I've never had sex before). At first I wanted her to get off me but she held my arms strongly and then I found myself accepting it and enjoying it that I wrapped my hands around her waist.

THE REALITY The dreamer was a college student and had become attached to a staff member who was married with children. They were both female and it was very much a mother daughter relationship. Her friend had helped her improve her social skills. Her friend was about to go home to another country for the vacation. The previous day was their last day together. Most of the staff had already gone home so she was alone. Her friend was crying because of some work related stress. The dreamer went over to her and started to cry too.
