"Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?"
When I think of sweet dreams, I think of fairytale endings, where the prince and princess live happily ever after. The singer is saying that this isn't all it's cracked up to be, that there are no happy endings. The line, "Who am I to disagree" is almost ironic. If this is what sweet dreams are made of, why am I complaining?
Then the next few lines, talking about being used and abused, clearly refer to people who only want to use you in a relationship (i.e. a guy dating a girl only to get into her pants, or a gold digger marrying a rich man just to get money) or people who experience domestic violence in their relationships.
I think this song is about relationships.
