Do you consider having a sexual dream involving someone other than your S/O cheating?

It's extremely realistic, & I actually wake up convinced that I did it & feeling guilty. Takes me a while to assure myself that I really didn't do it, & go back to sleep.

Yup. I've broken probably the entire Criminal Code in my combined dreams. And I've lost count of how many times I've been killed.

Deeply disturbing to wake up suddenly, screaming in pain, then realizing that there's not a bullet in your chest.

I haven't had any that I do anything horrible, but I have had a dream where one of my best friends was gunned down in a freak bar fight. In my dreams I made it over to him and he died in my arms. It was so vivid and realistic that I woke up in tears crying uncontrollably. That one seriously screwed with me for several days. Quite often though, many of my dreams are so real, that I often have troubles distinguishing if I had actually done that in the past, or if I had just dreamed doing it.

I have very severe cases of deja vu. Like to the point where I stop doing what I'm doing and actively have to rationalize through the situation and see how I possibly could have done/seen this before. I attribute my deja vu to have incredibly realistic and powerful dreams.

 
hmmmm ... anyone that thinks it never happens or never will is deluded😉

im sure ur so has em too.

so what😛
 
What total nonsense, nobody can control their freaking dreams,of course if you wake up and start giving a blow by blow report of it then you're a moron 🙂

If I had conscious control over my dreams and I let it happen, I would be upset with myself...

If you would be upset with yourself that you let it happen, do you have conscious control over your dreams?

This is a silly question. You have no control of what you dream because dreaming is just a random firing of neurons that trigger random thoughts that get strung together. The neurons that were most recently used (and those surrounding them) are most likely to be involved in the dream. There's no order to the way things are stored in your brain, so if the neurons that store your 6th grade teacher and the ones that store your memories of clowns are near each other, you might have a dream that your 6th grade teacher is dressed as a clown, and if you've felt a lot of anxiety that day, she might be chasing you, or she might have something important that's just out of reach.

Why would anything that you have no control over be your fault? We all have impulses around attractive people....humans are designed to be like that. Controlling those impulses and not acting on them stops us from cheating. If you have no choice, it's not cheating.

I disagree on that. I may not have total control of what I dream, but I do have control over the influences. Things like watching certain movies, or thinking of something right before I fall asleep affect what *I* dream about. I can't count the number of problems I've solved for work in sleep because of dreams. And no, "fixing" a problem doens't mean dreaming about going postal and mowing down coworkers or burning the office down 😉 Real solutions like how to make a certain function work on the exchange server, or ways to improve data polling from remote locations, ect.

Maybe I'm just a freak when it comes to dreams 🙂

Influence isn't the same as control. Your experiences influence the subject of your dreams, but what happens during that subject is totally random.

Took a year of psych in college----talked about this stuff a lot 🙂
