Theme: Interrupted Passion
At the height of an enjoyable tryst, someone walks in and interrupts the moment. This obvious scene of frustration is usually a reflection of a real-life intrusion into your more private and treasured moments. Is work, extended family, or some other worry encroaching on your space? Be mindful of intrusions and place a high priority on personal time with your special someone.

Theme: Nowhere to Make Love
You are trying to have a quickie somewhere, but finding a moment of privacy is impossible in this dream! This suggests that the search for intimacy, sexual and emotional, is tough right now. You may be going through a separation, a disenchantment, or be feeling discouraged about relationships. If you’re still feeling stung by a bad experience or hurt feelings, it can take time for that dampening effect to wear off. Give it time.
