 in college ive learned that dreams have to do with what your going through even though they dont relate or make sense at all. i think what your going through is the fact that you dont know if your mom saw the condom in your purse.. leading for you to think about other random things... making you not sleep.. & if you do.. you have weird dreams! what i do is that i dont hold stuff in so i dont have to wonder, "what if's". because that just drives me insane. whatever your worried about on a day, in general, do something that would make that "what if" go away. for example.. talking to your mom about the condom. your 16.. 17.. she has to have something in the back of her mind that your carrying around one of those.

 I'm not an expert or anything, so I can't comment on the meaning of your dreams, but it sounds like you are suffering from stress and anxiety. You probably need to talk to someone, and your doctor might suggest anti-depressants.
If you don't want to go that route, you can try a few things.
1) Try and have a routine at night. Get into bed an hour before you want to sleep, but don't watch tv or be on the computer, at the most you should read a book.
2) your room should only be associated with sleep in your mind, therefore no tv or computer. Don't lie in bed unless it is to sleep. Your mind needs to make that connection.
3) Some people, myself included, cannot workout in the evenings. My adrenaline stays up for hours, and if I exercise or am too active too late, I won't sleep.
Essentially you have set up a routine where your mind has a chance to settle before bed.
Also, try and think what may be causing you any stress or anxiety and try to address that.
Good luck.

 dont be sorry. dreams are what the sub concious think. the house and everything is probably reprsent the thoughts that go through your mind. at night lay down and try and count from 100 backwards, try not to think of anything else. i use it and dont dream. usually dreams dont make sense and there is not a specific explanation for any one specific dream. your subconsious is probably cofused and truthfully a little overwhelmed.
