Hi All:

Anyone have any insight on dreams about kissing?  I keep having dreams about kissing different men, from Dean Martin to young attractive guys my mind creates.

I had a dream that I was at some sort of craft fair event indoors and there was a sort of show going on having to do with origami.  There was a lady wanting to get a better look so she sat down in front of me, but she couldn't see because she was leaning back somehow.  I remember having to hold her head forward so she could see and then suddenly there was a man helping me hold her head forward.  I looked over and it was a distinguished looking Hal Linden. (he's the guy who was the police captain Barney Miller on that show)  Anyhow, it's dark now and we're holding this lady's head and sitting behind her and he leans over and kisses me.  We have this very intimate make-out session (all the while holding this lady's head forward!) and then I woke up.

I don't mind having these kissing dreams (I wake up smiling!), but I keep wondering why they keep occuring.

I think I had a dream similar to pinkslumber, although being a guy I wasn't kissing Hal Linden (but I did enjoy Barney Miller way back then). In my dream it is Jennifer Garner (before she was married) and we are hanging out, and she says she just wants to be friends, but I talk her onto the dance floor and during the dance she gives me a kiss and I wake up immediately.  I would rather have stayed in the dream longer.  Have had variations on this dream a couple of times but everytime I get the kiss, I wake up.

I will interpret the above dream.  I realize there is a theme of kissing in your dreams but w/o at least one more for context I can't seem to place what this image is specifically referring to...

Ironically enough, the kissing may not be as important as the dream-like state you seem to be in when you wake up....

I think what is going on here could be one of two strong images or both that may even have something to do with eachother...  (I should have noted that I am interpreting a Gemini's dream before trying to pull one cogent theme from the imagery-scape of the subconscious mind.... hehe - no worries - my first practices of dream analysis were of my friend beth - sun at 0 degrees gemini - quite a powerful twin, she was)

anyway -

1. So you are at a craft-fair indoors.  Then you sit down in an audience to watch an oragami show.

you are taking part (walking around then *decide* to sit and watch) in the goings-on of the activities surrounding you in life. it feels safe (indoors) and fun perhaps.  now you are in a 'theatre' of kind - as there is a show going on.  this is your social life.  the show is oragami - whatever the show is will depict what dramas are unfolding surrounding your life right now.  oragami is paper made into objects and animals by hand.  someone around you (a good friend?) is influencing your view of them or a situation by making it into something else.  they could be outright lying to you.  watch closely how events are unfolding or focus on the process of how things around you are taking shape in your social/public sphere...

2.  a woman can not see the show and sits in front of you (her *back* is to you and so is the *back* of her *head*)  she can't see because she is leaning *back* for some reason.

This woman represents you.  She does not have the clarity to see things properly.  At first her view is obstructed then she tries to change her point of view but her perspective is all wrong - she is tilted back - her point of view wrong.   Her head is looking at the sky or in the clouds.   Essentially she can't see the truth about what is going on properly without changing her frame of reference.  She is unable to judge the matters at hand and can't see things clearly as they are happening.  

3.  You hold her head and she can see.  

Once there is a change in point of view she is able to see things clearly.
Remember, however, that she is watching an act of someone manipulating paper into animals - this person is effecting a shape-shifting act.  She is watching it "fold-up" as opposed to "unfold"  there is something about "hindsight" here as your perspective is of her back.  Do you need to watch yours.  AND should you be holding your head up high right now?

4.  Some man comes and helps you hold this head to watch the show and you two are involved in an intimate kiss.  His persona is a celebrity you recognize in waking life and it is dark out now - this whole time you kiss you hold the womans head...

Ok - here is where it all gets tricky...  there is some issue about secret intimate life and keeping it secret from the public eye or from yourself.  Maybe it is this part of the drama you can't see... or are you pretending to have your head held high but you have secret intimacies?

The celebrity-mr.-McDreamy qualities of this strange man who kisses you are parts of you that are assertive.  These are men you admire and respect and they are passionate and driven and confident (and able to get their way via adoration    of fans or respect of peers.)  This man    could be your "anima" - the male aspects of yourself that you need to get in touch with and assert here to gain a clear perspective.  or do you need a clear perspective of your past? if so i analyzed this whole dream all wrong (::sigh:: geminis are so complex - it's wonderful though, i mean i practically am one with venus , true node, ascendant and even my progressed sun all in this sign!)

so let me do my best here to bring it all home...

1. social sphere
a. friends arent what they seem.  
and/or
b. friends are acting like they believe the mask YOU are showing them but they know what you're up to and they're talking about it behind your back..
and/or
c.  friends are just plain making you out to be something you're not while they act like they're helping you or befriending you

....jeez for some reason i keep wondering if this applies to you at work.  have you begun a new job, where you are extremely qualitified and talented but youre new so youve yet to show this side of you?  maybe others - like your supposed new coworker friends - can already see it and are really not as "on your side" and helpful as they seem...  with that woman's head in the perspective of looking up but wanting to bring it down to the social sphere (audience and stage) its like your ambitions are high and you're being manipulated or held down by others who you think help you but you arent aware of what happens behind your back.  if so the key would be to intimate yourself with your anima - be assertive, confident and hold your head high, be compassionate and helpful (like you helped the lady) and dont focus on that damn stage (you werent in the dream - that was good advice)  and being aware of all of this in the public dark audience would be good because you know you are embracing your assetiveness and confidence but no one needs to be aware of that in your work environment - they are already fearful and respectful of the person you will be when these events unfold and take shape

2. ok the above could be all wrong or it could be right but not apply to the minidrama explained above.  whatever. here is interpretation 2 which could be right or wrong... too (ive lost and confused everyone except the gemini querent -- haha)
these people are all you... looking back (at the lady's "back") you have been able to or this dream urges you to - shift your focus and view your past and the events that you avoid looking at and see them in a different perspective.  they are inhibiting you from embracing parts of you that you keep secret now or that hides in the dark of your own subconscious ready to meet you and improve your life...
whatever this may be it is the key to unlocking:
a. new intimate encounter
or
b. new part of yourself which is intimate or which is assertive and bold

so ask yourself if you are hiding anything or refusing to see anything clearly or if there is a fear of intimacy because of past events that you should examine to understand better before you can grasp your inner power.  this could be what you are doing or what you have already done but there is a strong image of intimacy with all the kissing you've been doing in your dream-world (you sultry little vixen, you!) and thiis is actually a part of yourself you like very much you just keep it hidden for some reason or hold it back or down to fit in maybe or maybe youre afraid to stand out too much or maybe you're afraid if someone knew your dark side it wouldn't be appropriate... i dont know.  all the symbolism i looked up tended toward that but there is just no shame i am feeling within the context of the symbols

SO

whoever these images are - seriously GO GET EM GIRL - keep an eye on the events unfolding (or folding up!) and one more quick thing - dont be afraid to explore your sexual side... that came up - i dont know...?  you fill in the details as you see fit...

but anyway - put your best self forward or interact with your confident assertive side and watch out for people influencing your point of view.

if this is about intimacy - a new discovery of your intimate nature will help you gain a clearer perspective of the past

and i truly apologize for my inability to break this down into simpler images and analysis - i tried... im usually so good at that...

your dreams boggle my mind as much as my own dreams do - I love it!!
