Having sex in your dreams is common, natural and nothing to be ashamed of. However, it is important to note that sex dreams can also be indicative of deeper emotional needs that aren’t necessarily sexual in nature.
There are some things you can do to encourage sexy dreams. These include: visualizing hot scenes from movies or TV shows, listening to sensual music and trading sexy texts.
1. Visualize a hot scene from a movie or TV show
Dreams can be a fascinating study of human emotions and behaviors. But, because they are so personal to each individual, scientific research stops short of exploring the meaning of specific dreams. Dreams can be soothing, comforting, frightening or even confusing. And, for some people, they can be sexually provocative.
There are some strategies that may help you increase your chances of having a sexy dream. These include keeping a dream journal, listening to sensual music or trading sexy texts. But, it is important to remember that all of these things aren’t necessary for you to have a wet dream.
It is also important to recognize that sexual dreams can feel very real. This is often because of the physical arousal that occurs while sleeping and the blood flow to the pelvic area. And, despite what you may have heard, sexual dreams are not a sign of deviance or mental illness. In fact, they are a normal part of the human experience and can be beneficial for both men and women.
2. Take a bath or shower
Dreaming about sexual acts while taking a shower or bath means you are trying to satisfy your sexual urges. It also symbolizes that you are cleansing yourself. If you dream about being naked while in the bath or shower, it may suggest that you are feeling guilty about something related to your relationships.
Dreams about having sex with someone of the same sex may represent your desire to emulate a specific personality trait, such as boldness or creativity. If you dream about being cheated on by your partner, it may mean that you are concerned about the strength of your relationship.
Dreaming about having sex with a stranger usually reflects your own sense of adventure and risk-taking. If the stranger is of the opposite sex, it may indicate that you are searching for a balance between your animus and anima energy. Alternatively, dreaming of having sex with someone famous could signify that you want to climb the corporate ladder, says Hongiman. But, she adds, you should try to achieve this ambition through more ethical means.
3. Change your sheets
It’s a shame that so many of us don’t take the time to change our sheets after sex. Especially after a passion-filled session, there is a lot of mess that goes into the bedding. That means that all of the impurities from sex get into the fabric, and it can smell pretty gross.
If you want to have a wet dream, you need to get your bedding in the right condition. To do that, you can start by changing your sheets to something silkier and softer. You can also try putting on some extra sexy pajamas or lingerie before bed.
A great way to prepare for a wet dream is by keeping a sex journal. This will help you become more mindful about your sexual fantasies and what arouses you. It can also be a fun way to communicate your desires with a partner.
4. Listen to sensual music
If you put on a slow, soulful, sensual song like Yours by SG Lewis, you’ll be priming your mind for a sexy dream. Or you can take a sexrcise class, which isn’t just great exercise—it also works muscle groups you’ll use in your dreams.
Experts say you can also arouse yourself before bed by reading erotic novels or doing sexy exercises. The goal is to set your mood for a sexy dream, so you’ll fall asleep more excited and have a better chance of having a lucid one.
Sexual dreams are normal for everyone, but they can also provide useful information about a person’s subconscious thoughts and feelings. For example, someone who feels repressed in their sexual desires may have more frequent and intense sex dreams. Alternatively, they could be experiencing unresolved sexual tension that comes out in their sleep. A therapist can help people understand and interpret their sexual dreams. They can also provide support for those who have nightmares or unwelcome sexual fantasies in their dreams. They can also teach people to control their dreams through lucid dreaming techniques.
5. Trade sexy texts
If your boyfriend has a smart phone, text him hot scenes from your favorite movies or TV shows. This is a fun way to spice up your conversations and add some fantasy into your everyday routine. Plus, it’s a great way to practice describing how you feel. If you don’t feel comfortable with full-on pornography, try using emojis. You could even create your own love language by creating a code for different sexy emojis, like eggplants and peaches for oral sex or ice cream and hearts for body contact.
Dreaming about an ex can be confusing if you’re in a new relationship or haven’t talked to that person in a while. If you’re dreaming about an ex that you aren’t in a romantic relationship with, it could suggest that you have unresolved feelings for them. But if you’re dreaming about an ex that is in a loving, positive relationship with another partner, it could mean that you are feeling like your current partner has some of the qualities that you liked about the past one.
