Erotic dream interpretation
13-04-2009
We've all had that dream: The naked Nordic warrior princess, the ex-girlfriend, the woman with no face... sexual dreams are part of living with testicles.
But guess what?
These nighttime forays into fantasyland might mean a lot more psychologically than you're giving them credit for.
Dreams are your mind's way of exploring ideas, desires and fears that
are too abstract, too disturbing or too overwhelming to think about
during waking existence. And erotic dreams need not involve you in the
hot tub with the Play..boy bunnies. They can be symbolic references that make statements about your emotional and erotic states without being graphic.
The purpose of these dreams is to mentally act out fantasy thoughts so
you're not repressing them any longer. It's extremely healthy, and
necessary. It's like your mind emptying out the trash.
While
dream analysis is highly subjective and can only be done accurately by
a licensed psychotherapist who counsels you on a regular basis, there
are a few common symbolic threads in dreams that most everyone agrees
on.
But who needs professional help when you got an article on the Internet to guide you, right?
Here's what the most common erotic dreams mean:
The woman with no face
In this scenario you dream of sex with an anonymous, faceless woman.
She's perfectly sexy, smart, responsive, intuitive, sensitive, and
familiar. But, no matter how hard you try, you cannot make out any of
her features or her identity.
What it means: One meaning
of this dream is simple: You desire uncomplicated sex in its most
animalistic form. Essentially, your subconscious wants to use women for
sex without any concern for their emotions or their identity.
Another explanation comes from the famed psychologist Carl Jung who
says that dreams of a perfect faceless partner are your mind's way of
telling you to embark on a journey of self-improvement. The faceless
partner, he says, is really you, and the correct way to respond to this
dream is by developing qualities in yourself that this "blank" partner
possesses.
The surprise return of your ex
This dream finds you in bed with an old flame
-- which might be rather shocking. But fear not, this oftentimes means
not that you miss your old girlfriend, but that you're actually trying
to rid them from your psyche.
What it means: For
instance, if you recently met someone new, it might be your way of
mentally preparing yourself for a new emotional attachment. By dreaming
of your ex, your mind is trying to close the book on her.
The
people appearing in your dreams represent a certain aspect of yourself.
So this dream is telling you how you relate to whatever qualities your
old girlfriend represents. Ask yourself how you would describe her to
someone who has never met her. Is she generous, angry, or
compassionate? Whatever the quality is, examine yourself and how you
are relating to or using this quality in your life.
The disappearing partner
This is the dream where your partner vanishes right before or during sex.
What it means: Besides the overt meanings of fear of abandonment and frustration with
unreliable partners, this dream can mean you aren't feeling confident.
Hooking up with a coworker
In this familiar dream, you have sex with someone you work with, which
is all fine and good when it's the hot 21-year-old girl in your
department. It might not be so grand if it's the wrinkled 60-year-old
secretary.
What it means: This dream is a sexual
metaphor that might mean nothing more than that you enjoy the
professional bond you share with your coworker. Though it might be hard
to believe, it probably just means that you are comfortable with them.
Sex on display
You dream you are having sex in a public place with strangers watching.
What it means: This dream can point to a fear of sexual intimacy, or anxiety about
being vulnerable or being caught off guard. For instance, having this
dream after having talked your girlfriend into some exotic kind of
kinky sex may signal that you feel guilty.
The dream may also
be telling you that you are trying to be something that you really are
not. Clothes being a metaphor for your public persona, the loss of them
can mean a fear of others knowing who you really are.
The homosexual dream
Simply put, this dream involves having some type of sexual intercourse with another man.
What it means: The most common explanation for dreams where you have sex with another man is not that you want to switch teams, but that you want your female partner to
act more "manly." You see, some psychologists explain same-sex activity
in dreamland as meaning that you desire your woman to display so-called
"male" strength qualities like logic, reason or dominance.
So
don't worry about your sexuality. Experts also generally agree that if
homoerotic dreams upset you, then you are probably not a homosexual.
You suffer from erectile dysfunction
You're in the middle of getting it on, but simply can't get it up,
for whatever reason. This is similar to a very common paralysis dream
where you find yourself unable to move -- in this case, it's a failure
to coax your unit to perform.
What it means: Depending
on the context, this might mean that you feel powerless or paralyzed in
other areas of your life. For example, if you have this dream during a
time that you're looking for a new job or trying to get a promotion at
work, it may signal your frustration with getting ahead in life.
