Sex Dream Interpretation: What Your Sex Dreams Really Mean

We are all probably aware that most of our dreams are out of the ordinary or surreal. Though sometimes, it happens where one is too vivid that we get confused whether it's the reality or not when we wake up. But, there are also instances where we forget them the moment we open our eyes too. Weird, isn't it? Nonetheless, we could not always find explanations for them however strange they are. Now, there is one type of dream that most people are confused, not to mention horrified at—you guessed it! Sex dreams. There is nothing else that is going to be much weirder than having to see someone you least expected in your dreams, naked, and on a sexual act with you too. How would you feel if you see your boss whom you hate so much doing it with you? Or perhaps, with a stranger, you've just seen once? Or if you want something unusual, a faceless person? When one shares their sex dreams to their friends, the usual response they are going to get is teasing. They will accuse you of having "wet dreams" or accuse you of being too much of a pervert that you bring this habit to your slumber. On some occasions, that could probably be true—according to some research, just because you're sleeping doesn't mean your libido isn't awake. But, know too that dreams are not always literal. Most of them have deep interpretations that could relate to the dilemmas we face every day, our insecurities, a facet of your life, and even with our personalities. Concluding from that, when you make love with your best friend in your dream or any person for that matter, it would not necessarily mean that you have feelings of admiration for them in reality. It could be just an interpretation of an event that once occurred in your life or a symbol of everything that you went and going through. So, if sex dreams should not be taken literally, what are the interpretations behind them? Listed below are some common sex dreams people experience. If you want to know more, keep reading.

When you make love with an ex in your dream way too often, do not sweat it! Do not feel guilty for your current lover because that doesn't mean you are still in love with your ex-boyfriend. The dream's interpretation might have something to do with your present relationship. Remember how you did it in your dreams. Were you passionate? Was it an exciting sexual act? Were both of you feeling vibrant while doing it? If so, compare it to your current sexual life if they are the same or if something is lacking. Your ex-boyfriend in your dream might be a message that you have matters to improve in your present relationship—that you have to bring excitement to it and bring back the spark that has long gone. However, if the dream occurs only once, it could just be your brain reminding you of his upcoming birthday, or posts you've seen from him on social websites.

Sexual intercourse with a stranger is the second most common sex dream next to those with exes. Most people's interpretation for this is that there is someone special who's about to come into their life. However, this kind of sex dream is rather more about yourself than anyone else. According to some psychologists, the meaning of this type of sex dream could be related to your animus—the hostility or the male energy of the female/anima for males. Consider the type of stranger you're having sex within your dreams; their personality shows what state your anima/animus is in. However, there are some cases where the strangers are faceless. The meaning of this according to experts could be somewhat related to an aspect of your life that you are still trying to figure out. Maybe there is still a personality of yours still concealed, and you desire for it to be released. A faceless stranger is a message that you have to try to be authoritative.

If you are not a homosexual in reality but still make love with the same sex in your dreams, don't worry, because that doesn't mean that there is a hidden desire inside you to become one. It would not necessarily mean curiosity either. This type of sex dream's explanation relates to your self-esteem. Perhaps, there is a personality of yours that you don't truly accept yet. If you are a female, remember what personality the woman in your dream has. If she is a strong, independent, but kind woman; then you have to nurture these aspects in your life. If it's a homosexual act between you and a friend, it might be an interpretation of the insecurities you have for each other.

One of the worst kind of sex dreams you can have is having to do sexual acts with your best friend! No one for sure likes to hear from their best friend that they're doing it passionately. It would be too awkward, wouldn't it? But do not sweat it, because this doesn't mean you have some hidden desire to sleep with your best friend. The probable explanation for this kind of dream is that it is only an interpretation of the kind of relationship you have with your best friend—if you are really close to each other! Or, your best friend has some good qualities that you want to make a part of yourself. That is all there is to it, so don't ever worry if these scenes ever occur in your dreams one day.

If you are crushing on a beautiful/handsome celebrity, it's only natural to have a hidden desire to do sexual acts with them. So, when you make love with a celebrity in your dreams, the reason could be because you really have a strong admiration for them. However, if it's a celebrity that you are not really familiar with, or you are not really into, it could be about their special qualities that you want to be part of your life. Also, if the celebrity is a musician or a singer, consider their crafts—maybe you can relate the current events of your life with one or two of their songs—same if the celebrity is an actress/actor, maybe their movies got stuck in your mind. Last probable explanation could be your desire to take the spotlight for yourself. Maybe there is something inside you that wants fame, fortune, and recognition.

When you think about sex, the last person on your list you'd make love to is someone you hate, of course! Why would you even desire to do it with an enemy, right? That just seems unjustifiable. However, it's inevitable that this kind of scene might appear in your dreams one day, and you would wonder why. The explanation for this kind of dream has relevance with your subconscious thinking. Carrying hatred within your heart is a difficult challenge every day, and the dream might be something that acts as a conscience to connect with that certain person again. It also could be about their personal qualities and skills that you want to have. Maybe they have some talent that you'd think would be beneficial for you.

One of the many things that most people dream of is having their own luxury car. Young adults work hard and earn money to attain this dream—it's a must to have a car rather than having their own house. But, there are some who just really fantasized about having sexual intercourse in a car. However, it's different when you're doing it in a car in your dream. It doesn't necessarily mean that it's one of your biggest fantasies. Although, that could also be it. But, the usual explanation for it is when you see yourself having sex in a car, it could imply that you want to own it thus the act symbolizes ownership. Another different scene would be having sex in a car while driving—this implies that something unexpected is about to happen in your life that you are unprepared for. This unexpected event is an unwanted one that will destroy your peace in life. Doing sexual acts in a car might bring good feeling in reality, but they have deeper meanings when you see it in dreams.

To make love with an office mate in your dreams are the same as the kind when you do it with your best friend. They probably have some good traits and qualities in them that you, yourself want to attain. But, also consider if these traits would be beneficial only for your work or would be beneficial for you personally. However, to make love with your boss in your dream is entirely different because they're in a position much higher than yours. This implies that you have to connect with your boss more—not in a sexual way—but connecting through work projects. Also, it could be that your boss management style and leadership skills are present in you and you want to nurture it.

There are several people who are always on the go to try new things especially in the world of sexual acts. Does orgy sound exciting to you? It might be a "feel good" to do this act in reality, but it's different when they occur in dreams. When you see yourself involved in a group sex in a dream, it doesn't mean that you desire to try it. In fact, this type of dream means confusion in your life. The best explanation would be the adversity you are facing currently. In an orgy, there is just too much going on at once—and just like in your real life, maybe your misfortunes are already piled up you don't know what to do anymore. Try to give yourself a break and determine your priorities. Leave behind the things that cause you stress.

Whenever we dream about weird stuff, one of the things we mostly remember is the location or wherever the dream happened. There are even instances where these locations are those which exist in reality—though there will always be some slight differences—an indication that it is really just a dream. So, when you see yourself having sex in a public place in your dream, look for something weird that should not be in the location. But, admit it or not, we all had that one moment in life where we fantasized about having sex in public places, while people are watching. Sounds exciting, doesn't it? But, as much as it sounds good, a sane person would never ever dream of doing it in reality. However, in dreams, this kind has a deeper explanation that relates to whatever's going on in your life. For example, when you are involved in a sexual act in an office setting with your colleagues watching, it could imply that your work is taking up too much space in your daily routine. Or, anything you focus on about even when it's friends time is work. Another interpretation would be about how open your life is to your family and friends.

If it's already uncanny to dream about yourself performing sexual acts in public places, how much more in a place where your childhood took place? But, according to one psychologist, it's more likely about your personality or who you were when you were living there rather than the place itself. If you see yourself having sex in your bed when you were a child, ask yourself if you're going through difficulties that you would want your parents to help you. Are you going through a relationship failure and you need some advice? Is the cruelty of the world too much for you and you'd want to hide in your mother's arm for safety? Or, are you just really feeling like a kid? This also applies when you're having sex in a previous living quarter—it could be your previous house, apartment, boarding house, or a dorm. What kind of person were you when you were staying there? Maybe you are still holding on to something that should be left behind already, or you left something that you should return to and keep.

If one is a rape victim, then seeing themselves getting raped in dreams is a serious matter. These type of dreams can cause mental health problems to a rape victim and should get professional help. However, if you are not a victim of rape and somehow, this kind of dream still occurs now and then, it could imply a metaphorical meaning. Rape is a violation of human rights, so when you see yourself getting raped in dreams, there might be instances in your life where your well-being is being stepped on. It might be a good idea to get rid of things that threaten your self-esteem and be a stronger person who fights for your right.

According to experts, "wet dreams" are not only for men. Actually, women tend to have them as they grow older while men get fewer. So, when you dream about having an orgasm, it could be because you are really craving for some steamy sex. But, in some cases, dreaming of pleasuring orgasm could mean something else. Maybe there is an event in your life that would have a pleasurable or satisfactory end.

One of the most common types of sex dream anyone can ever experience is when they cheat on their boyfriends/girlfriends. Some women are even sensitive about it because they turn suspicious of their boyfriends in reality and even cause pointless arguments. But really, when you dream about such thing, there is no need to sweat it. When you are the one cheating on your boyfriend in your dreams, it could imply that you have done something wrong to him that you are feeling guilty about, and maybe your conscience is calling you to apologize to your boyfriend now. However, if it's your boyfriend who is cheating on you in your dreams, don't ever be mad at him for real because this doesn't mean that he's doing it—this doesn't apply to what we call "women instincts." It just implies that you have insecurities in yourself and your relationship. Instead of accusing him, talk to your boyfriend about how you truly feel. Maybe you are not spending enough time with each other and only need to spice up your relationship and put some excitement to it.
