If you dream of sleeping in a clean, comfortable bed, it reflects a sense of peace and being genuinely cared for by those close to you. Sleeping in a strange or uncomfortable setting suggests illness or plans that fall apart unexpectedly. Dreaming of sleeping next to a young child points to warmth in your home life and love that is fully returned. Watching others sleep signals that your persistence will carry you through competition when it comes to winning someone's affection. If you dream of sleeping beside someone or something you find repulsive, be cautious — your feelings for a partner may cool before theirs do, and your own questionable behavior may be to blame. For a woman, dreaming of sleeping beside a lover or irresistible figure is a warning not to surrender too easily to someone's magnetism.
