that is what color it was supposed to be. Subtle nuances such as these are often indicators of the strength and meaning of dream symbols.

Who is present in sexual dreams also has significance. If a dog is present, it often represents fidelity of both partners, whereas if the dog is bearing its fangs, then betrayal is suggested. Cats on the other hand represent a sense of or need for tenderness, gentility, independence, and passion. Dreaming that strangers are present during sex can also have multiple meanings, which are multiplied if you interact with the stranger in your dreams. If you are comfortable with the presence of the stranger, it indicates a comfort with your sex life, a sense of contentment. If you are afraid that the stranger will see or hear you, or that they will judge you, it often symbolizes that you are worried or feel shame associated with your sexuality or sexual desires. If you are having sex with a stranger in your dreams, it can be an indicator of the need to break yourself out of a sexual rut.

There are other dreams that involve having sex with people who are not your partner. These dreams can be unsettling, but know that they likely do not indicate sexual feelings toward the subject. One of the most common dreams like this is dreaming of having sex with a celebrity. This can be a simple way of fulfilling a desire to be with a celebrity you fancy, or in the event it is a celebrity you are not attracted to, it can indicate a desire to have a high profile life or a simple need and desire to be loved and romanced.

Many people often dream of having sex with their exes or previous sexual partners. This can be especially unsettling, and confessing to these dreams often leads to fear or arguments from current partners. Contrary to the subject matter of these dreams, however, they do not actually indicate sexual feelings toward your exes at all. Often, these dreams represent a longing for something you associate with that person. If the person was your high school sweetheart, it can be a longing to experience the freedom of youth and lack of adult responsibility. If the person was a more recent ex, it may indicate a pastime or activity you enjoyed with them or while seeing them that you do not get to participate in anymore. It can also be a representation that you miss life before children or work pressure that you did not have when you were with that person. In short, this type of dream rarely has anything to do with the other party in particular, but is your brain’s way of indicating a particular period in your life.
