Dreams are your own to keep. Don't tell her...you have no obligation to.

By the way, she's cute.

I tell her... so she can feel more secure about our relationship. Honesty. About something I didn't even do for real. She doesn't take it seriously anyway. We've been engaged since May 02 and together since '98. Unless I actually do something with someone else, our relationship will never go south.

She cried and I got on my knees and apologized.

I know this will never happen in life, nor I have such interests in the girl I cheated with but damn I feel guilty and shameful for some reason.

Should I tell her about the dream? If I did, should I also confess who the girl was? I know it's absolutely not required to, because it's not like I want to get together with the other girl, just a stupid dream with some fantasy implications that I'm NOT interested in Real life...

You got on your knees and apologized, in your dream. Man, how did it NOT turn into a threesome? You deserve to get roses from HER!

Well, if you can keep the secret then don't say anything. Why potentially have her lose some of her trust in you becaus of something so trivial? Dreams don't mean much anyways. Maybe you had this dream because you saw a similar scene on tv or in the movies. Heck, happens to me.

Uh, No. I did not have sexual realations with those women. What I mean to say is I've never had a dream where I've cheated on you. There are no women in my dreams. Er, I mean no other women, I dream of just you, and serenity.


I'll show myself to the dog house...

I've told my wife about my dreams...some involved me messing around with a woman, some involved her cheating on me. It's just a dream. Nothing ever comes of it. We've been married for 11 years. We love each other and we both trust each other. No big deal.

BTW-Neither of us has ever strayed and we just had a beautiful baby boy last summer together. Never been happier.

you two are a very cute couple. She is so adorable.

you heard it already, but I don't really see a point in telling this story to your girlfriend. You would make yourself feel better, perhaps, but it probably wouldn't be good for her. Regardless of what you say, she would probably start thinking that you might have a thing for this friend of yours, and in the long run, that can only get messy.

don't worry...its a dream, and in time, it will fade and not bother you nearly as much as it is now. its happened to me before too.

I'm trying to figure out why you feel bad about it to begin with???

WTF-It was just a dream. If you actually cheated on her then you have a reason to feel bad about it. Duh.

If you dream that you are speeding down the freeway do you call the police up and confess after you wake up? This is the dumbest post ever.

as long as you werent dreaming that you were getting intimate with another guy, there's no point in telling her.

I'll add my voice to the overwhelming chorus of "NO". :D

It was a dream, but I would definitely keep it to myself. Why cause friction with your GF over something that didn't and won't happen in real life?

I'm leaning towards no. I doubt it will make either of you happier. Some things need to be left alone. Do I publicize my occasional dream in which I'm dressed up as a ballerina and I win the contest for prettiest girl in tights?
