Had a really puzzling dream today which I can't seem to get out of my head - in the dream, I was in a job search (as I am in real life now), and apparently I'd gotten an interview with some company. At this 'interview', a woman my age (who worked for the company) was - for some reason or other - was helping me with this mixture between an interview and a written application at a desk. She wasn't anyone I knew, but more like an amalgamation of many people who I've known/have made connections with - short, plain-looking (albeit cute) and clearly intelligent.
As I was filling out this paperwork, she and I were talking - I don't recall about what, but it was nothing risqué or anything like that. It was clear, however, we were forming a connection. Then, at some point, as I'm filling this out, she begins - very gently, more 'cute' and 'sweet' than seductive - kissing me on the neck, cheek, and so on. It didn't really click with me mentally at first, but as it goes on, it draws me out more and more - I eventually 'lean back' to rebound and understand what is going on, and at this point we are face to face. I don't really have much spacial awareness during dreams, but I believe I was in a chair and she was on the desk - we were basically eye level. Her suit is off, and a sleeve of her blouse/strap of her bra is off her shoulder and drooping on her arm, to which I finally realize what's going on. I ask something along the lines of "are you serious?" not in an angry or indignant way, but in an "are we doing this?" sense - to which her face completely shifts into a sort of realization, but almost more like anger - she fixes herself, gets up, and after some words I don't remember, walks away. The actual play-by-play of events afterwards I don't recall (assuming they happened at all), but the gist was I didn't get the job (with the implication being it was as a result of the incident), and I spent the end of the dream apologizing to her through her manager (for reasons that escape me).
I have my own interpretation of what it could be (relating to burning a candle at both ends rather than committing to any one path), but I would definitely be curious for thoughts. For added context (if it would be of use/pertinent to someone's interpretation) I do have a girlfriend, though the relationship is somewhat rocky, for reasons unrelated to work or similar circumstances - I have not cheated, but I have been tempted before.
