Mrrumph.  Caveat:  my comments are based on no particular psychological
system's interpretation, just on my personal beliefs/experiences.

Though I've never had an experience quite like this (my intuition does
not seem to operate through dreams; probably since I rarely remember
them :), I place a lot of trust in my intuition (feelings about a
situation or person for which I have no overt basis in experience).
Why?  Because these feelings/impressions *are usually right*.

Unfortunately, explaining this to someone who wants A REASON for why you
don't want to {sleep with them, speak to them ever again, &ect} is
trickier.  I generally say "there's something about this (whatever) that
really bothers me, and I don't think I ought to continue."  Or words to
that effect.  I won't claim some mind-bending success ratio, but at
least it's honest.
