((This topic deals with something of a mature nature, you have been warned.))

The other day I had an erotic dream involving one of my friends. It's not really a close friend of mine, but in the dream I felt like I knew him really well. It was very strange. We had sex in the dream and when I woke up, I remembered I had a boyfriend and that I 1) don't know this friend well and 2) he had gotten out of a relationship not that long ago.
I'm not sure what this dream means, and the day after I had it, I couldn't look him in the face at all.

So what I'm wondering is...
Is this just some way for my brain to tell me that there's some sort of element that his friend represents that is missing in my relationship, or is it talking about an attraction I might have for this friend?

Also, has anyone else had this happen before? (An erotic dream about a friend)

Dreams like that tend to mean you are craving intimacy of some kind, and that is currently missing in your life.

To dream about sex with someone other than your spouse or significant other, suggests dissatisfaction with the physical side of your relationship. On the other hand, it may be harmless fantasy. In such situations, you may find that you are less inhibited sexually and you can even bring that sense of adventure to your existing relationship.

Personally, I wouldn't worry about it too much. I don't think dreams really mean anything, I think most of them are a big combination of everything in your brain. So if you have a dream about having sex with a friend, it might just be that you were thinking about sex recently and also thinking about your friend recently. It doesn't necessarily mean you were thinking about having sex with your friend. Most of my sexual dreams involve my boyfriend, but most of my dreams overall make no sense (last night I dreamed we were about to have sex outside, not something I would do!) so I don't try to really make any sense out of them. If you're happy with the relationship your in then you shouldn't worry about it.

I've had erotic dreams involving friends before, but I've found that my subconscious likes to stick familiar faces on people in my dreams whether they'd really act like that or I'd have relationships with them like that or not. To be blunt, it's a bit of a mindfuck sometimes, but I'm learning to deal with it. I hope yours is the same case since you're in a relationship and all.

It probably doesn't mean anything. I've had sexual dreams about my best female friends, despite the fact that I'm straight. Its just something that happens every so often. Dreams are never really something to be taken too seriously I think.

If you're happy with your boyfriend, then you're happy with him. Mark it as a random occurance of a sleeping brain and be done with it. *nodnod*

If any of this helps: I've had 6 dreams in which at some point I've tried to tongue kiss a girl in my class. She was the kind of "friend" you just tell her hi or ask for a pen in extreme situations xD I didn't even think she was hawt or something, it just happened ^^'

PS: I think Vickicat's theory might be your situation ^_^

has happened to me a few times, it is very odd when it does. I do nothing about it too, for I have found out it is just my brain telling me that I miss or want to know more about the person, or that I should talk to them again. Often I do, but perusing a relationship is a very bug jump in comparison, and ends badly (tried once). As such, take it as a dream, and not much more.

Whew, thanks guys. It's nice to know I'm not alone in having these awkward dreams.
I believe my Issue is resolved.

I'll lock this up by request- if you need it reopened feel free to PM me or another mod.
