Likely the shortest dream I've shared in awhile but I was with a small group of people. We ended up in random places and the main 'atmosphere' I remember is either a really luxurious 'more space than anything' business room* that had those large window and glass panels. *Or this place was someone's expensive home. Think penthouse in terms of space - type of design - it was white and grey, had a ton of solar windows and it was daylight and someone invested in really healthy green plants. We all sat on the floor which makes me think it was a person's home. I know you're supposed to know the people you see in your dreams but I can affirm that I have no idea who any of them were. Seemed nice - late late thirties to mid and late forties. Business attire - but some also had business casual style too. But nice people. Made me feel comfortable as could be. I appreciated the environment, them, the calmness this place carried and is was such a casual thing that after drinks and visiting went on (about what is anyone's guess) - we were all agreeing to something. No one grabbed one another's hand and had the intention to form a circle - we just all happened to be near enough for some of us to reach out - shoulder touch or take a hand briefly. Everyone was respectful, I was doing approved shoulder pats and accepting hands briefly until the assumed guy next to me gently shook it but had such sharp eyes and dark hair that I looked into his face and then back at an assumed woman who had tan business attire and sandy hair - shoulder length and gazed at the scattered people in the room chatting and doing the same thing. However he regained my attention - and communicated this - I do not know but I missed the social cue about everyone permitting a safe supporting and 'open' relationships. I locked on a word in my head orgy and immediately stood up, getting all attention on me because I'm an idiot and I apologize to the wide eyes concerned assumed man and assumed woman who - with everyone else - hushed and looked over in concern as I kept apologizing. I stated, "OH!! Oh my goodness I am so sorry! I cannot accept your orgy - I'm asexual - but thank you!" And I proceeded to make sure I apologized to everyone and they accepted my apology when they realized that I wasn't going to chill out on misinterpreting things. They wanted me to feel comfortable and considered me a friend and they respect who I am. Then I woke up. Because I think second hand embarrassment was going too hard here. Everyone was fine with me saying 'oh! No worries! Nothing is happening here today - really! It's okay! No don't feel like you have to leave. We wouldn't do anything to make you uncomfortable friend!' I literally had the nicest people who just happened to all wanna be down for an orgy with one another, but still wanted their asexual friend to feel at home and know that no one was doing anything today. To stop apologizing - but I fucking apologized by practically saying, "Oh Dear! I respect you all but I myself can be apart of this avowed orgy. I am an asexual - so sorry! Sorry! You befriend and trust me and I failed - so sorry. I must go!" The end. That's the dream.
The dream reflects your desire for social connection and a sense of belonging. The luxurious and comfortable setting, along with the friendly and welcoming people, represents the ideal social circle you would like to be a part of. However, your interpretation of the situation was different from everyone else's, leading to feelings of embarrassment and alienation. This may echo your sense of feeling misunderstood or disconnected in your waking life. The dream may be urging you to communicate more clearly and confidently about your needs and preferences in social situations. It may also remind you that it's okay to be different, and that the right people will accept and respect you for who you are.
