Dream from Jacquie Wells…
Was in a department store like Target. My friend Nick was working in security near the changerooms. I had gone shopping there with a couple of other females (can’t recall who) but was feeling very hazy and tired. In this foggy mind-state, I had slumped to sit and lean by a rack of clothes. Then Nick came over and picked me up so I had my legs around him. Being in such a haze I just let myself kiss him. I noticed that somehow he was kissing my neck though. I then woke up wondering how that could be!
Dreamer’s Associations
Due to the hazy state-of-mind I was in, I was barely aware of who I was with (possibly mum or close girl friend) or much of the environment around me. However, I did have a distinct awareness of where Nick was, and was gazing in his direction.
In waking life Nick is employed as a security guard mainly for nightlife venues. He has been close friend of mine that I feel totally at ease and safe to be with. When we met two years ago we did have a ‘romantic’ connection but since reconnecting with him mid last year we have become really close friends. My one concern is that entering relationship may end up ruining the ‘unique’ friendship.
For me, a department store has quite a bland energy.
Clothes could be symbolic of the mask presented to the outside world. Whoever I was with initially (definitely women), perhaps I am letting them contribute to not expressing my true self? I do tend to feel I can be more ‘myself’ and not judged by males rather than other females.
Could the neck represent the mind-body connection?

Always start with the where of the dream. Here you’re in a the department store which you associate as being bland. Such a non-descript place would symbolise a bland aspect of you (as opposed to what is uniquely you).
Nick offers security ‘near the change rooms’. And your association with him is one of feeling secure. So here is someone who allows you to be as your are.
The issue, however, is that this is a hazy, unclear state of mind. You’re also slumped in the dream, so this is not a clear, go forward state of being. But somewhat lifeless and retiring. But your awoken by a kiss. Which suggests that what you see in Nick has the capacity to bring you to life. The neck is the connection point between the mind and body, so again Nick would lift you up and constellate a greater connection between your mind and body.
Note that we are always attracted to those in whose presence we feel whole.

Thanks Craig, very perceptive..
Yes, I can definitely relate to changing knowing that Nick assures me its OK! Plus, I do feel much more present and ‘whole’ when with him.
