Erotic dreams?

[Shivers5580]

Lately I've been having more vivid dreams and they are of a very passionate nature, even involving the same person more than once or strangers(which I feel terrible about). I've never been unfaithful to my husband, so is it normal or abnormal to have dreams like this?The dreams haven't gone too far, so to speak. Only cuddling, touching and kissing involved. But it's not not my dream self conciously does these things, and then all of a sudden the dream ends.Hi NonJourno, No, I'm not Catholic. A dream I had the other night was of some man and he stripped me(I was wearing a bikini) and there was a fair bit of hanky-panky going on, it was very passionate. Hehe, how embarrassing, I didn't really want to go into detail.

I think it's pretty normal and doesn't mean a whole lot.

I have had dreams similar to this and just brushed them off as a dream. If you feel like assuaging your guilt feelings, wake your husband up to make your (and his!) dreams come true.

I'm married and have had a few of these dreams over the years. Every one I had, I never actually did anything "in the dream". Because in a dream, you don't know your in a dream until you wake up. Dreaming or awake, you typically know what's right and wrong, which protects you in your dreams. Before anything in dream-land ever went to far, I would wake up. If you actually "cheat" in your dream, I would think that is a bad sign.

I agree shivers that's fairly average. What is interesting is why you categorise kissing and hugging as erotic. Kissing and hugging can be signs of friendship too? Are you a catholic?

It should be noted that, according to Freud (for whatever that's worth), it is the seemingly "innocent" dreams that are filled with hidden sexual imagery that represent repressed desires. (The symbolism is to get past the filters of the pre-conscious mind.) Oddly, he says little about dreams that are explicitly sexual, though these are, as Wittgenstein observed, "as common as rain".And there's confirmation of what I'm going to say: it's perfectly normal. And there's no need to feel terrible about something over which you had no control and that didn't even really happen.Now, if I had to guess - and this is only a guess - you're recently becoming aware of enjoying the kindness and attention of other men (which is perfectly normal and fine, so long as you set clear boundaries) and feeling some ambivalence about that. If that is in fact the case, then I'd imagine that acknowledging the feelings, enjoying them, but also recognizing the responsibility to keep your boundaries clear would be the key. Perhaps here, the more dramatic presentation - caresses instead of compliments - is your way of making certain you keep clear about your standards.

You shouldn't be too worried, well not worried at all. Do you know what I believe it is? I believe it's your sensual self coming alive in your dreams. Our dreams make everything possible, we double tripe of what we are in real life it seems. At times we can go in the opposite direction. By the way rejoice in this dream and don't feel bad.
