Can anyone interpret a dream?

Question

Ok, I don't dream often, but last night I had a very short dream which was so extremely vivid I woke up with the same irritated feeling that I had in the dream towards my fiance:

The dream was in color and seeing through my own eyes, I am standing at my kitchen door surveying the kitchen and spot among the spartan and clean counter a liter milk carton standing next to the sink, fully open (not just one side, but wide open).  I am irritated at my fiance, M, because she is always leaving food out like that and was afraid it was spoiled.  I walk over to the carton and see that it is about 3/4 full.  I lean down to smell it and it is still good, so I get the intention to return it to the refridgerator.

I'm not sure if I made it with the open carton to the fridge, but at this point I was waking up and can't quite remember.  I was still a bit annoyed with my fiance when I woke up, but realized quickly it was a dream as I couldn't possibly have been to the kitchen yet that morning.

Dreams can have many interpretations.  Since it was your dream, your interpretation is probably the best.  There are many methods at getting to a meaning of a dream.  One method is through a psychological system called Gestalt.  In this system, the method is to get 2 chairs.  Set the chairs so they are facing each other. Sit in one chair.  Chose something in the dream that stands out - such as the milk carton in your dream.  Imagine the milk carton is 'sitting' in the chair opposite you.  Ask the milk carton a question, any question.  Then physically move and sit in the 'milk carton' chair and answer the question.  Just say whatever comes up for you, no judgement even though it may seem stupid or foolish.  After answering, move back into your chair and ask another question.  In this manner, have a conversation with the milk carton.  It may seem stupid but after a couple of iterations, some interesting information comes out.  There are psychologists that you could go to that will mediate that process for you if you want.  Also, for all dreams, it is good to write them down, in detail, as soon as you wake.  There are also many websites that talk about dreams and symbolism.

Really Will, the answer is in you head. If milk symbolises fertility, then being upset on your girlfriend for some milk left outside, may actually mean that you somehow consider her unfit to be the future-mother of you children. Consciously or unconsciously, you may think she's not what you need... If you dream this again, or if you dream her somehow disabled, then you should understand that your subconscious is warning you.

Don't be hard on you girlfriend when she leaves food out.
This dream tells you that it's not a big deal to leave food out, the milk was still good. 
So you unconsciously know that it's not a big deal.
Your unconscious has been interpreted into the dream so that you can know it.
