One is regarding my younger brother who I adore and love. All the dreams start out the same way. We are on a trip or excursion or we are doing some thing. Then towards the end of the dream he goes missing; and I frantically search for him or try to save him. This dream happens every few months. One interpretation I had was that my younger brother in my dream is probably my wounded inner child; perhaps I am not finding ways to connect with him in the waking life.
Second one is a bit more erotic. I meet a woman in the dream and soon somehow another woman joins us; and it usually ends up having sex. In real life, I have no interest in dating two women or sleeping with two women at the same time. But these dreams happen once every few months. I have journaled and tried to understand, but I don't know why. One interpretation that I had was that the first woman I usually meet is my Anima (whom I believe I have integrated); her presence and her attraction to me, makes the second woman easily attracted to me. And the Anima initiates the sex, and the other woman easily follows.
How would you describe your brother, what essence does he seem to capture most in the dream? Are there any major characteristics of his that really jump out? A representation of inner child is a good guess. I also wonder if there may other meanings, perhaps something shadowy that you are needing to acknowledge, save, discover and connect to?
What are the qualities of the two women? Do they seem similar, different? Are either of them consistent dream to dream? Perhaps they both represent aspects that are necessary for anima work?
Re: dream about my brother. In most of these dreams I am the protective older brother who is not only taking care of him; but also making sure he is having a good time at the venue or with me. In most dreams, he is adventurous and enthusiastic. And I seem to be the one tempering his expectations to ensure that he is playing it safe.
Re: the two women. In many dreams, the first women is familiar or someone who is instantly attracted to me. The attraction/seduction happens very quick. And the second woman either falls into our vortex or the first women helps me seduce her. And when we get intimate in the dream, the first woman always initiates. The second woman is a bit surprised but she joins as well. Both these women are distinct. For example, in one dream the first woman was a blonde and the second woman a redhead. In another dream, the first woman was older and the second woman much younger. My hunch/interpretation is that it's my personality and my anima that easily attracts the second woman.
What's your relationship to enthusiasm and adventurousness in life currently? Or in general for your personality? Do you feel that is accessible to you, a part of yourself that you embody with ease or struggle to?
It may be with the other dreams that the combination of the anima and your conscious will together can attract what you need, in that second woman. Perhaps something to consider is doing an active imagination with the second woman to know more about her...What is she like? What does she represent? What does she desire? With a bit more insight, you may be able to "unite" with that essence more.
Re: enthusiasm and adventurousness. I have been going through a period of healing, reflection, and inner journey. So most of my adventures have been internal. However, I realize that I might be missing external things so I plan to travel again soon.
Re: Thanks for the questions regarding the qualities of the second woman; I am going to do more introspection. These are great questions.
I have 2 common recurring themes that happen.

Hi Alyssa,
Re: dream about my brother. In most of these dreams I am the protective older brother who is not only taking care of him; but also making sure he is having a good time at the venue or with me. In most dreams, he is adventurous and enthusiastic. And I seem to be the one tempering his expectations to ensure that he is playing it safe.
