Dream Interpretation

A little build-up to the dream:
For the last 2 days, my girl of 3 1/2 years has been in LA. Ever since she left, she has been barely responding to my texts, which is frustrating because I've been in solitude for 2 days working on a really stressful essay and I really need someone to talk to. Last night, before I went to bed, I texted her "I am going to sleep. I love you, I'll see you in my dreams :]". Well, she was at a movie with her friend so I didn't wait on it and passed out.
Then, I have a dream where I am hanging out with a girl who I do not know, but in the dream we know each other. She gets naked and lies down on her bed. I go up to her and I am about to fuck her, but at the last minute I tell her that I cannot be unfaithful to my girlfriend and leave.
I wake up, and she never even responded. Nothing. This is the girl who normally texts me 20 minutes after I leave home because she misses me. Normally, I don't think to much of these things, but the whole situation seems quite peculiar.
I've looked at dream dictionaries and they only have descriptions for dreams where you cheat on your other or where your other cheats on you, but not for dreams where you almost cheat on your other. What the fuck is my subconscious trying to tell me?

You're just thinking about her being unfaithful while she is gone, and thats why there is a lack of communication. Just your subconscious going over the things that bother you in waking life.
What is she out there for? Could she just be really busy doing whatever she went out there for?

Perhaps your subconscious is trying to tell you that you should let go of conditional love. If you really love her, why would you be worried if you are not getting anything back from her? Im not talking about breaking up... just about a perspective of conditional vs unconditional love.

I'm guessing it means that if you were given the opportunity to cheat on your girlfriend you would chose to remain faithful.
Then again, the meaning of dreams is a hard thing to figure out. A similar dream could mean something completely different to someone else. I find my dreams make most sense when I think about them and wait for associations about what they could mean to pop up. Since we don't know exactly how dreams work and what they mean this could just be a method to understand yourself without actually understanding what the dream meant. I like to compare it to reading story and trying to find the hidden meaning the author was trying to express. You might not find the exact meaning the author was expressing, but you could end up finding something that makes sense and benefits you somehow. I think dreams have helped me understand myself a bit more.
You have to realize that it's still you in the dream. The dream is made up of information stored in your memory. Randomly combined information to make a new experience, but it's yours nonetheless. That's why I think dream dictionaries are useless. I personally think no one can tell you what your dreams mean besides you. I do believe that certain authors can help you understand how dreams work though. According to Freud when we dream the filter that prevents certain thoughts from entering our conscious is turned off. These thoughts would usually be repressed motives, hopes, ideas etc. That's just one view on it. It is also believed to be a method for exploring the archetypal world of our collective unconscious. Check out Jungian Archetypes here. I find them the most interesting .

This would work if time and time again people didn't prove (and I'm one of them) that they are greedy, cheating little fuckers.

It could also be that you are craving attention, comfort or love. And your subconscious works in ways as to appeal to your wants and needs, make them come true. Ill let you interpret that further on your own.
