ASSOCIATIONS AND SYMBOLIC MEANINGS
1. FORCE HERSELF BUT FAILED. If the dream is about the dreamers celibacy then resisting sexual advances is an obvious symbol. Maybe forcing herself upon him represents his deliberate attempts to keep women out.
2. SEDUCTION. The women's attempt to seduce him perhaps link to more subtle ways in which the dreamer is open to sexual desire. He will still have sexual urges and keeping these under control can be very difficult. Perhaps he is aware that anything could set him off. Not having sex is easy but not thinking about it is much more difficult.

DREAM ANALYSIS In guesswork the dream was linked to the dreamers celibacy. The dream deals with the following themes
- women's power over men

If you weave together the different themes you find that they could capture these thoughts -"I am trying to stay celibate for religious reasons. Its really difficult. I am blocking women sexual power over me. The stronger my sexual frustration gets the harder it is to resist"

Dreams can be about base urges. This dream is obviously about the dreamers battle to suppress natural urges. However, strong his religious convictions he still is a sexual being programmed to have sex.
