Dream::
(I'm a married woman)
I had a dream in which I was in a gang with a male friend of mine. I was sent to prison. When I got out he was with a girlfriend and said "I've been waiting for you" (he ignored the girl) We then went on a picnic with other people. Someone said, "Joe wants to ask you something". I said, "He can't ask me yet, I've still got my towel on (I was wearing a white dress with a towel round the top half) He asked me to marry him I said. "Yes". (the girlfriend was there hanging on to him, bessotted with him but he ignored her). He gave me a ring, and I said, "Is that it?"~ and woke up.

I have a feeling this dream gave you a deep powerful feeling, something close to spiritual. A gang is a form of a community, even suggests family. A male friend of yours, since he doesn't live with you, he has an aspect of his personality that you identify as seeing similar in yourself. A prison is self-imposed confinement, you put yourself there, and you took yourself out. You may have felt guilt for some feelings you've had in life regarding family, or your community (picnic/other people=socially intimate friends). Yet, you subconsciously "punished" yourself, and released it. Then the dream symbolism changed back to your male friend, as he is. You tend to admire this male friend, and possibly because you possess a quality you both share. It is a human tendency to do so. Has he been spending more time on dates, or has he had to postpone, or cancel an event with you because a "girlfriend/date" popped in, and plans changed? Although you are married, we don't stop making commitments to others despite, we commit as friends or moms, or sisters...it varies and it's relative. So basically, you would like your friend to come, and surprise you with a deeper friendship, to put you ahead of others in a sense. Yet, you try to hide the fact that you want this (towel), even though it exists deep down. I think a conversation will arise, and you are willing to accept this commitment. It is interesting though, when he offers you the ring, and you ask, "Is that it?" I see this as, he's offering you something of physical reality, such as his merely hanging out with you, but it is not good enough, you'd like something deeper than that, possibly a spiritual connection that is admitted to each other that exists. Some of our greatest teachers are those we are not romantically linked to, so I would not worry that just because he is a male, that you have any desire to cheat, just that you need to build a spiritual connection with someone, and this person has one with you. You cannot create one, it is known the minute you meet someone ~ even if it's a negative connection. I'm sure you've noticed this in life though.
