What if you dream but wake up not knowing what you dreamed. So so think you did not have one at all. I wish I had sex dreams, I don’t have them in real life. How can you remember what dreams you have had.
I have them very often. They are very vivid. And usually involves my ex from 20 years ago. She is as my first relationship and I haven’t seen her in 2 decades. I wonder if she dreams of me as well. That would be crazy if we dream of it together.
The same thing happens to me with my x-husband. We divorced in 2014, and often dream of him and I together. I also wonder if he dreams about me. We are over 3,000 miles away. That will be so interesting if we also dream together.
I love it
How about having sex with no face (I can just feel them) sometimes monster? Thnx
I get that too. But for me it’s people from past traumatic experiences that my brain doesn’t want to remember. Or it could be somebody that you wanted, and you liked their body but there was a flaw on their face that you didn’t find attractive and your brain shit it out so you would enjoy your dream.
What sex with with a married man?
I have had sex dreams before and I remember them vividly all except for most faces. I don’t think that the men had faces. But I remember all of their bodies very clearly. Some of the dreams I have had were people I had a crush on but never consciously thought about having sex with.
Two nights in a row. Once with an ex with whom I still have a somewhat friendly relationship. Once with someone I don’t know.
When you have a dream you don’t dream about someone you haven’t seen before or don’t know so it’s more then likely someone you just seen on a video,waking down the street, ect..
How abou watching sex right next to u IN YOUR DREAM😭
I had another sex dream about my FEMALE manager and it makes me feel weird because I have to see her every morning while still remembering my dreams…
I had a sexual dream with my uncle who I lived with as a teenager who was a narcissist and in the past made sexual comments towards me and was an alcoholic drug addict! He died a couple of years ago! I felt like he was haunting my dreams!
I feel so confused and disgusted with myself!
Don’t feel disgusted with yourself. It’s not your fault. It does not mean you consciously approve or even consider it. You can’t control who is in your dream. It’s people in our lives that get mixed around in the events of dreams. Bring him means nothing about him. It’s not your fault.
