Very rarely are other people's dreams interesting...except when they're about sex. Dream analyst Lauri Loewenberg tackles the case of lesbian sex in a straight woman's nocturnal visions. Research has shown women's sexuality to be less black and white than men's, but is assuming she's got a little gay in her jumping to conclusions? Find out after the jump (right after you send us your own dreams!):

Ever since I started having sex, I have always enjoyed it with a man. But lately I have found myself dreaming about doing it with a girl. I can never make out her face, all I can see is us doing different things in different ways. What does this mean? Am I going crazy? Or is there something going on in my head?

Lauri Lowenberg: You might be going crazy...crazy for yourself! You see, an unknown female in a woman's dream often stands in for her own female qualities. Your dream lover is the embodiment of all that is feminine about you: your sensitivity, your creativity, your ability to nurture and mother those around you... perhaps even your feminine prowess! The sexual aspect of this dream is all about you, ahem, "coming together" with this powerfully feminine side of your personality. Ask yourself if you have been particularly creative or nurturing lately, or have you been using your feminine wiles to get what you want? The woman is faceless because this is something you don't fully recognize about yourself. Now, repeat this to yourself (in the voice of Whitney Houston, of course): "I'm every woman, it's all in meeee."
