During the past months I woke up in the middle of a dream about sex. Unfortunately only one of them was actually about having sex (the act) and it was almost good as the real thing! My sexual dreams were about my ex, my fitness trainer :-) and Gordon Ramsay!!!! (why could I not dream about Brad Pitt???)
Today I googled what erotic dreams mean and decided to share the info with you, my ladies.
One hundred years ago Sigmund Freud concluded that almost 100% of our dreams represented some form of sexual repression. Freud believed that anything that was in the form of a container was a symbol for the vagina. Some of the symbols representing the vagina were a box, bowl, a room or a tunnel. Similarly, he believed that anything suggestive of penetration would represent the penis. Examples would be sticks, knives, pencils and nail files (due to the up and down rubbing). The sex act for Freud was any action in a dream reflecting up and down motion such as walking up and down stairs and ladders. Some of Freud's ideas about sex in dreams have been disputed while others remain in use today.
The newest research shows that only 8% of our dreams are about sex. Erotic dreams usually occur at times when you need a certain amount of release from tension (Gordon Ramsay… I must be under A LOT of pressure…) They are a safety valve that lets out your pent-up frustrations and sexual inhibitions. They may compensate for your unfulfilled sex (that sounds right :-) ). People who have balanced and happy sex lives in their waking life do not, as a general rule, dream about sex (!). As far as it’s known, the primary functions of dreams are to maintain sleep and prevent the brain from emotionally overheating. Dreams therefore are often concerned with resolving problems and restoring emotional equilibrium. If sexual issues are important to you or have been pushed out while you’re awake, your dreams will try to deal with these unresolved issues. Even nightmares can be therapeutic, as they draw to your attention many of the hidden fears that may be preventing you from moving forward.
So tell me ladies, how often do you have tantalizing sexual dreams? Do you have surprising dreams about people you’ve never really thought of (like your neighbour or… Gordon Ramsay) or dreams where your sexual identity has switched (maybe you're involved in a lesbian love fest when you're actually heterosexual). Or maybe, you'll be lucky enough to have a sexual dream whre you actually have o****m (I’ve never been that lucky! However, there is a pill which can help you with this as I found out during my erotic dream research). Care to share any of the details?
