What do your sex dreams really mean?

At some point, we have all had a sexual dream. Whether your dream was exotic and wild, strange and haunting, or kind and romantic, there is a reason you had this particular dream at this particular time.

“Sex dreams reveal your desires and anxieties,” says Gillian Holloway, PhD, author of Erotic Dreams. “Your subconscious uses these crude and lustful situations to sort out the emotions that you may not be facing in waking life.” Sure, you may already know that dreams serve as a portal to your psyche, but you may not realize how dark their implications can be.

Often sex dreams are just a means of understanding the inner self, desire or even passion, which is absent from the conscious level of the mind due to external factors such as suppression. In our society, the biased perspective on issues of sex makes it a taboo topic for discussion.

Sex dreams can be a means of making up for what is lacking in real life. For example, there was a saint who had renounced everything, followed austerity and rejected women. He started having recurring erotic dreams and was confused with her response. A closer look by a counselor revealed that this was his way of balancing his inner and outer self. The dreams in question were her way of satisfying her sexual needs and yet achieving celibacy in real life. Applying morality to dreams would, of course, be unfair.

These types of dreams can also provide the dreamer with a neutral space where they can go beyond their inhibitions and overcome their fears regarding sex or certain behaviors. A certain behavioral change that a person is skeptical about adopting in waking life will sometimes manifest itself in dreams and, in most cases, is a precursor or a sign of the changes that will follow.

Sex dreams are rarely literal. Although you might hope that last night’s dream about you and Drew Barrymore was a precognitive dream, a vision of future events, it probably isn’t. Sex dreams, and most dreams for that matter, are metaphors, or perhaps similes, and very symbolic. They give you a picture, a picture of what a situation is like or how it can be compared. If, in your dream, you feel pressured to have sex, take a look at your waking life and see where you feel pressured or by whom.

You must remember that dreams must be understood in context. If a person dreams of having sex in a car, it could imply that he wants to own the car, sex becomes a symbol of ownership. If a dreamer dreams of making love to a stranger in an unfamiliar place, this may suggest that he is looking for something new to introduce into his relationship or that he is far from his own sexuality.

The way the dream made you feel and its correlation with an incident from your recent past will help you understand it and its message.

Sex dreams are as common and natural as the physical act of sex. Such dreams should not disturb us, but rather should be seen as a call to introspection and a deeper look at what is being re-presented. Dreams always come at the service of our highest good, at a time when it is necessary to address the subject of the dream. Dreams are our private therapists. And they don’t cost us a penny.
