British psychiatrist and dream specialist doctor Keith MT Hearne conducted research on what dreams about sexuality during sleep mean. Nearly half of Brits regularly have sex-related dreams, according to the review. In 15 percent of these dreams, sexual intercourse takes place with someone who is inappropriate, such as the person with whom he or she works in the same office environment.
Interestingly, one in every 25 men has a dream about being pregnant.
Hearne, who established a laboratory on dreams, said, “In fact, these dreams, in addition to showing repressed emotions, also manage the emotions during the day and make a person feel good or bad.”
The sleep expert said that people dream for two hours a night and that these are mostly ordinary dreams. However, Hearne underlined that in sexual dreams we actually see ourselves with people we would never think of being with in normal life, and said, “When you wake up, you say what a ridiculous dream I had.”
RELATIONSHIP WITH A FORMER PARTNER
Sexual behaviors and experiences in a relationship may turn into habits over time. Even though the emotionality between you has ended, the beauties you experienced in the past can take you back to those days. Negative events in the past also affect dreams. This is how your sexual frustrations emerge through dreams.
SEX WITH A PERSON OF THE SAME SEX
Sexual preferences are openly discussed much more this period. In some cases, dreams also reveal your repressed sexual instincts. The dreams we see also reveal our inner world and logical thoughts. In some cases, after dreams of sexual intercourse with a person of the same sex, the person asks himself, “Are you self-centered?” Or do you need to love and think about yourself more? In such cases, your personality determines your dreams.
HAVING SEX WITH SOMEONE IN PUBLIC EYE
Some people may have a high tendency towards exhibitionism, and the dream world actually forms the basis of repressed emotions and fantasies. However, such dreams express your sensitivity to social pressures. So you are very afraid of being criticized publicly by people. Being naked in front of everyone reveals that perhaps you want to live freely but are hesitant due to social pressure. However, having sex in public and shocking other people shows that you want to resist social pressures.
SEXUAL RELATIONSHIP WITH SOMEONE YOU DON’T REALLY LOVE
Normally, dreams bring to your mind the visual and verbal associations in routine life, and the emotions you suppress in normal life come into play. Some dreams, fueled by negative emotions, turn into a metaphorical game with these thoughts. This is why you see the person you don’t like at all and have sex with him while dreaming.
BEING CHEATED BY YOUR PARTNER
People who lack trust in relationships can often see such dreams. After all, dreams also express our fears and concerns. Such dreams can sometimes be seen by both partners. In such a situation, you may need to reconsider your relationship.
SEX WITH A CO-WORKER
It is not an unusual feeling for the opposite sex to be attracted to each other in a work environment where people work for long hours. Colleagues who spend long hours together may often also engage in small fantasies or flirtations. Most of our dreams are related to our daily life. Men and women can also experience sexual erections during REM sleep, when we dream. This may bring into our dreams the person we like and with whom we have had small flirtations.
MEN SEEING THAT THEY ARE PREGNANT
Sometimes men, out of empathy for their partners, may tend to experience the same symptoms that their partners did when they were pregnant. Nowadays, as the concept of polarity becomes lighter in men and women, the probability of having such dreams increases. However, in some cases, when a man sees himself pregnant, it can also mean that he wants to develop a work-related project in a figurative sense. In other words, the person who sees that she is pregnant is trying to do the job she undertakes in business life in the most successful way. The dream is a reflection of this effort.
