In dreams you are in situations you wouldn't allow for yourself in real life, or dealing with people
that you wouldn't in real life.   You do things in them you would not do in real life, and say things
you wouldn't say.   It's frustrating and it's like someone is screwing with you ...

One of my dreams I've had twice ... that I was Hillary Clintons 'girlfriend' and we were a couple.
Living together somewhere.    I can't stand Hillary, yet in the dream were were a 'couple' and I
had entered the relationship willingly and happily.  We were talking and 'together' (not sexual in the dream).

To me ... that's someone raping my  mind.  In real life I would either ignore her or, if provoked, 
I'd tell her what a criminal I think her to be.

Not sure about this theory. But sometimes we do things in dreams we wouldn't do in real life because we aren't constrained by social rules. And it reminds me of the dream I had about my little cousins. I don't like their company. Whenever I visit my uncle and aunt or they visit me, I prefer their son with his wife and children aren't with us. I find their children and my cousin's preoccupation with them really annoying. But I don't express my real feelings out of politness.

​​​​​​I had once a crazy dream that my uncle and auntie organized an evening party and invited me. There were my cousin, his wife and their children there but my auntie also invited all of my little cousins' school friends. The whole dining room was full of obnoxious brats who were gradually getting on my nerves.

At first, I tried to stay calm but two children sat beside me, one on my right and the other on my left side. They were giggling and taking the bits of food from my plate or putting some bits on my plate I didn't want. And it seemed like a fun for them. Suddenly, I got enough, stood up and wanted to hit the children. They started running and I was chasing them around the table and even on all fours under the table. Finally, the kids locked themselves in the bathroom. I started banging at the door and shouting: "You little f**ers, get out or I will kill you!" 

My auntie was standing behind me totally shocked. She asked what I was doing. I said to her: "I have enough of your stupid sh*tlings. Choose. It's either me or them." And I woke up.
