A Gap in My Dream Titled "1940s Glass"

There was a gap, a repressed part, in my dream. I believe that such gaps contain keys to additional interpretations, and so I explored it later this afternoon. In my dream my deceased aunt and my elder sister, who represent influential members of the opposite sex, take me to my dream-city apartment on the other side of EDSA, then re-cross EDSA in order to go home. And then the gap.

In previous dreams I am seldom alone in my dream-city apartment. I am with two or three dream buddies who I know physically exist and most probably live in that part of Cubao, where my dream city-apartment is located, except that they have no clue that we ever meet in our dreams.

I cannot recall what I did inside my dream-city apartment during the gap, but I must assume that it contained a key to the succeeding dream narrative: purchasing glass, broken glass, and then having to pass on purchasing things for a Halloween event that I and some friends have been planning.

Within the context of Philippine idioms glass has something to do with virginity (the antique, amber glass possibly representing my deceased aunt) and the loss of it (the modern and violet vase possibly representing my married, elder sister).

I must have had sex (or something like it) with a female dream buddy inside my dream-city apartment during that gap. The succeeding dream events in this additional interpretation therefore tell me that in relating to the opposite sex I must take into consideration the values upheld by my deceased aunt and my elder sister, and must respect members of the opposite sex the way they taught me to.

Whoever you are, forgive me if I hurt you in my dream.
