Having a gay encounter in a dream if you are heterosexual indicates your need for more excitement and sensitivity from your partners. It is also a step towards accepting who you are, and not fearing the unknown where you are open to exploring the possibilities of enjoying the company of same sex individuals.
Also, the gay encounter in a dream signifies or represents the inability to achieve your goals and desires with the other sex to which you fantasize about.
It usually reflects feelings that are not wanted to be expressed or considered openly and thereby they are kept as thoughts inside of the dreamer. There could be several underlying causes for this dream like fear, stress, anxiety, or depression. The dream might also reflect a person’s desire that he cannot fulfil in real life.
