Dreaming About Sex - Sex Dream Meaning

A dream of sex is a symbol of unity between two people, and spiritually it symbolizes the desire to express ourselves in love.

To dream of sex may also indicate that you need to look after yourself in emotional ways that are not necessarily sexual. You may need to put more effort into taking care of yourself or a relationship. I am here for you so you understand your dreams better and more importantly you can use your dreams in a positive way. Yes, during my life many of my dreams have come true and nearly 5,000 of you have e-mailed me over the last ten years about your sex dreams. Yes, these dreams have uncovered our deepest secrets.

Dreaming of having sex with someone other than your partner or if single

Strangely, dreams of sexual encounters with other people have more to do with your current relationship than with fantasies. If you are in a partnership try to focus on the relationship you have and what you want. Do not make the mistake of believing that the grass is always greener if you dream of sex with someone else (other than your current partner). Sometimes dreams help us to define what we want and need so we can nurture those qualities with the love we already have.

Do not get caught up in trying psychically to attract the person you are attracted to. The dreaming mind is not interested in teaching you love and passion, but rather in enriching your life. Respect others and be kind to them. Don't get upset or disappointed if they don't respond as in your dreams. It is important to let go of potential partners that aren't right for you. This is one of the best ways to find love. To insist on something that doesn't work seems to prevent the right person from coming along. Trusting your life and letting go seems to attract true relationships and happiness like magnets.

I have to say, that throughout the last ten years of running this website I believe that dreams better help us understand ourselves and through dream interpretation we can find a more balanced view of life. Your nighttime vision of sex may help you understand psychological roadblocks that are holding you back in your relationships in waking life. I will firstly deal with the psychology of dreams followed by a spiritual meaning. My sources of the spiritual meaning of dreams can be found at the end of the dream interpretation (research into dusty dream books in private subscription library in England)

What is the spiritual meaning of a dream of sex?

Dreams that are sexual in nature, whether you have a dream of the penis, vagina, intercourse or orgasm show that you are exploring life in your own way. Sex dreams are amazing to have. They can be so “vivid” that you actually believe you are having sex or reaching orgasm in real life. Dreams of this power can have a lasting effect on the dreamer. Sex is not often associated with “real” sex in life. Sexual dreams are often about marriage or commitment in life. In essence, the coming together of your own sexuality in the waking world. This dream represents some parts of your life that you have “emotional” connection to. Surprisingly, sexual dreams can be associated with creating a career change or a completely new move in life. It can also be a wake-up call to have the confidence to take control of one's career and life.

What is the psychology around sex dreams?

Sigmund Freud wrote and published many theories that dreams are connected to sex during the 1900s. Sigmund Freud wrote much about sexual dreaming. He believed that these type of dreams were associated with general sexual needs in waking life. In essence, he believed that any dream about sex was pure frustration in waking life. He also believed the type of sex in dreams is important.

Sex dreams and Freud are words that can be interlinked. Why? Because Freud believed that sex was the underlying power that drove our dreams to a conclusion. I will say that you and your dreams are unique. Freud believed that these type of dreams were associated with general sexual needs in waking life. In essence, he believed that any dream about sex was "pure sexual frustration." He also believed the type of sex in dreams is important. Turning to Carl Jung’s theory on sex dreams, In the simplest form, he believed our dreams represented desires and hopes and wishes of our subconscious mind. In essence, a reflection of waking life.

Since Freud and Jung, many scientists have researched the process of our dreams and concluded our emotional brain is active when the brain part “dorsolateral prefrontal cortex” is not active. So, this equals vivid dreams that can affect our own emotions in daily life. In fact, scientific research in our modern world has solidly proved that images we see in real life affect our dreams. Have you been watching too much porn? This leaves us with one question: is the sex dream an expression of your emotions or does it have a spiritual meaning? To answer this we need to turn to the complexity of research in both psychology and spirituality. In order to get to the bottom of this question, I will outline what the sex dream means once and for all.

Even in this modern world dreams of sex can leave us feeling worried in life. People often have dreams when they are worried about something in life. If in the dream you have a sexual encounter Freud believed that this was simply a symbol of the force of life which is projected as the sexual aspects in the dream. The theory that Freud connected with such dreams is that one has what is known as a “psychic censor” that this internal censor occurs during one's sleep, thus it projected that sex in the dream was dumped down somewhat and that the desire was not present when the dreamer awoke. He believed the censor allows one to hide true feelings during the dream state. Therefore, if one dreams of an ex-partner then in Freud's terms it is more about how you perceive that relationship. If we look at the great Carl Jung (dream psychologist) and his take on a sex dream he believed that the dream of sex is really something else that is hidden. There is a focus on repressed feelings. He believed that one’s sex drive is focused on the archetype that is found in one's physical body and also the mind. They are interchangeable. Sex in dreams of this nature is powerful. Carl Jung felt that our bodies are strong and that the dreamer is simply playing out the desire for sex.

Now, we have briefly given the “expert” opinion on a dream of sex we can conclude that you encountered sexual feelings that are associated with the connection in the real world. What Jung and Freud did not analyze is when dreams of sex turn violent. Also the identity of the lovers having sex in a dream. It is popular to note that sometimes we dream of sex with a stranger that one does not recognize.

Going back to the theory of both psychologists when it comes to sex dreams they both agree that sex is associated with masculine and feminine energy from an archetypal perspective. To dream of strange sex dreams can indicate a damaged area of the mind of the dreamer. If one dreams of being homosexual this can sometimes associate with desire in life for the masculine energy we need. Sexual feelings as emotional connections in real life could yield such dreams. The dream of sex has been connected to the various stages of one’s relationship with their partner.

As I have already concluded above sex in dreams can often be connected to our subconscious minds. Many of our dreams often have explicit content that you may find embarrassing upon waking. In our mind, we have dreams about sex and normally have what Freud believed was called “censorship” which we mentioned in the introduction. This means that whatever we dream is often associated with being repressed. Thus, dreaming of sex from a Freud perspective indicates that one is often connected to themselves and through the dream, they alter reality.

Here are some specific psychological sex dream meanings

• To dream that you are having or providing oral sex to a partner represents your willingness to give something back to others or receive a gift from others. If the sex dream involves giving oral sex to a male it is connected to your desire for lust in waking life. You have chosen the correct “career” path in life. If the oral sex did not satisfactory or does not go well then this is all about what your partner wants from you in life.
• To see a mass orgy and people were performing oral sex denotes that you will always remain the same and your sex drive may have suffered in life. Do you feel there is a disconnection in your love life? To dream that you are currently performing oral sex on your own represents your desire for intimacy.
• To dream that you are having an orgasm is a strange dream to have. It means the end. Something has finished in real life. Did you have an orgasm in real life too? What have you just completed on your life? This dream can also be associated with “worrying too much” To not reach orgasm in the dream denotes that goals need to be met. To see other people's semen in a dream from a Freud perspective is associated with frustration in your life.
• If an orgy or porn film is featured in a dream this represents the need of passion in real life. To participate in an orgy is associated with one's sexuality. You need to experiment in life. Have an adventure in your sex life! It may also mean there's much confusion about your sexual life. Do you yearn for multiple partners? Are you happy in your relationship?
• To see an erect penis signifies sexual desire, happiness in relationships, control over others, and fertility. To see more than one penis erect in a dream is connected to having sexual frustration in waking life. For the penis to be very small indicates helping people in waking life. To dream that someone looks at your penis usually means that you are currently dealing with some problem. To dream that your penis is chopped off implies a reduction of sexual contact. You believe you're losing an important part of your identity. If you dream that your penis is detachable, then your desire to remove yourself from the difficult commitments in life. Dreaming of seeing the penis of someone you know suggests a challenging situation with that particular person. A penis in a dream suggests doubts and anxieties about one's sex drive functionality and libido - it can also be linked to testosterone. A female dreaming of a penis is associated with the desire for sex.

What does sex mean spiritually in a dream is it a connection?

Spiritual dreams of sex is about broken relationships, depressed mind alternatively illness then erotic dreams may occur. This is due to the fact that it will give you from a psychological point of view, a sense of liveliness in life. This leads to the question of what does dreaming about sex mean? It is true to say that in my research the physical sensations experienced during the dream can often be so real they are sexually satisfying. Perhaps you had an intimate dream rather like a porn movie! Applying the psychological meaning of sex dreams indicates that external things like movies, images or erotica on the TV have influenced your dreams!

For example, you could have dreamt of making love to someone famous, rather like my opening statement of having sex with Brad Pitt! From a psychological point of view, these dreams are connected to your own personal ambitions. So for example if you want to progress at work you may dream of having sex with your boss, if you feel threatened in the workplace you may see yourself having sex with a co-worker in a dream. Alternatively, if you are a journalist you may dream of sleeping with an Editor of a newspaper. What I’m trying to say is that dreaming of sex is often connected to our own internal desires.To dream of giving pleasure to another person sexually can suggest that you are feeling a sense of personal gain and enjoyment in life.

Self-betrayal is indicated if you dream that the sexual encounter is not positive. You might end up entangled in a worrying problem or difficult situation. For some, to dream of performing sexual acts in the dream means being taken for granted. Are you being affectionate towards others? For example, not have a penis but try to have sex suggests some lack of focus in life. You may have some inner doubt in life, for example, you believe that you're not measuring up to others' expectations.

To have sex with your own partner in a dream is connected to happiness in life. It is about the emotional connection between two people. Having sex with someone famous can denote a feeling of being worried about how you perform in your job. It is connected to the internal feelings of being “needed” in life. To have sex with a person of the same sex can be rather worrying in dreams. It is true to say that most people have sexual urges and these show in dreams. Your hormones can play a significant influence on your dreaming state. If you dream of sex on a regular basis, it is likely that these hormones are going to be the reason why you have the dream. If the dream is strange in any way, then it is important.

To dream of having sex then having a child is quite interesting in that it shows you that real spiritual growth is taking place. If the sex activity resulted in childbirth, then things are moving forward in your life. To dream of having a penis detached from the body means that you are likely to meet a significant person soon that will give you some good advice. If in your dream you fear that you get pregnant or if you are a man you make a woman pregnant, then this indicates you have been trying to hide away from people that are close to you. Especially people that you have a sexual relationship with.

Dreams that highlight your total desire in a sexual nature mean that you can grow to love someone, and it is time to review what is important to you. Dreams that feature yourself having sex with another generally signify happiness and contentment is on the cards, but only if the experience is pleasurable. If you dream of watching other people having sex it shows that you have been struggling to gain a loving relationship. To be in a red-light district it means that your relationships are false.

What does being seduced by sex in a dream mean?

If the sex within your dream was unpleasant in any way, then this is a gentle warning that you are likely to be undertaking a social meeting or gathering in the near future, and this will lead to guilty feelings. If you are a woman and you dream of being seduced by a man, then it shows you are likely to encounter somebody which is going to influence you in some way. If you are a man and you seduced a woman, then this is a subconscious warning that you need to be more on your guard in connection with work situations. If in your dream you see your partner is angry because you had sex with another person, the ancient dream interpretation of this situation is that your pleasures in life need to be recognized.

What is the dream meaning of sex with an ex?

I want to share something with you, something odd that happened to me. In one of my dreams I dreamt of having sex with a past lover, this man never really committed to me and I must confess to this dream I did look him up on Facebook. I am sure that you spy on your ex too! Now, this dream was a vivid dream that I was in my current life having sex with my ex-boyfriend. The strange thing was that after we had sex in the dream we had a discussion about how the love in this life never occurred for various reasons. The fact that during this plane in life we were not supposed to be together, this conversation was rather vivid and led me to believe that perhaps it was true. What am I trying to say here? My gut instinct is that I believe it is indeed possible for us to make love to our ex-partner but be on a completely different astral plane. It sure as hell was real to me. So, just bear in mind that if you felt like you were living your current life and consequently had sex with an ex-lover which was vivid it might have been the fact that you were traveling to a different dimension. Astrally you may still be connected to your ex-partner. Now, back to the book based meanings! Many sexual dreams, especially for women, relive past and present relationships. Our ex-partners generally appear in a dream when we have thoughts about them subconsciously. In the most popular dreams, we relive a sexual act with a past love. Sometimes dreams of having sex with a ex-partners can be somewhat outrageous. Maybe you're ex-had a vagina when he was a man. Strange sex dreams with our ex-partner are common so don’t worry. If you’re currently in a relationship that is fulfilling then the sex dream with an ex-partner it is not that uncommon, it could just indicate that you need to spend some time closing off your feelings with your ex. Try not to feel too guilty in waking life!

To dream about your ex-means that you are still processing some feelings (love feelings) for them. It is not uncommon to see yourself having sex with your ex-partner, and it can be confusing. This will obviously resurrect feelings you have for your ex in waking life. Pay careful attention to the main details in the dream - was the sex with your ex partner enjoyable? Think about the encounter and if it was positive then great things will come your way. Also, think about how you felt during the dream. Do you want to get back with your ex-partner? Often sexual dreams are connected to your regrets and mistakes in life. If your ex-partner gets pregnant in a dream this can suggest you are scared of commitment to others. To dream of having sex with an ex many times can often be associated with concealing something in real life. Being cheated on by an ex in a dream suggests a tough situation in life.

Having sex with someone you don't like in the dream world

Why would I want to be intimate with someone you don't even like? You may like a celebrity but not find them attractive, or you may have a romantic dream about someone you would never choose to be intimate with. Here are the main reasons to dream of a romantic get-together with someone who isn’t your cup of tea.

A lover in a dream could show a characteristic or quality that you have in common with someone else you do like in the waking world. Romance and sex can signify closeness and connection, especially when it comes to getting to know a part of your personality. Women are more likely to dream of saying yes to a partner they don't like or respect, even if they have accepted another hook-up in their daily life. One woman considered accepting a job that paid well but she did not like, allowed her to travel and required her to meet with powerful clients. Although she was attracted to the job, she resisted when she dreamed about getting married to an older male at the same place of work. Often the dream world means you choose someone because of their characteristics. Consider what personality traits, options, or people that surround you, that you have a similar quality. You might need to look at your options and decide if something is right for you.

It is possible to have an unconscious attraction.

Sometimes we feel an attraction towards someone but it is hard to see. We don't want to be attracted to people who do things we are not happy with or who belong to someone else e.g. having sex with friends husbands. Most people don't want to feel attracted to a co-worker for example - because we will be working with them for some time. There are many situations in which it is not possible to feel something for someone. It’s hard enough dealing with multiple partners. We refuse to even think about it. The dreaming mind is not like that and will gladly give you a taste of forbidden fruit - every now and again. 

It is usually easy to see that there are undercurrents towards the dream lover after such a dream. I will say this. These types of dreams are also very sensual and real. Hot, tactile, and real sexual dreams are more likely to be about actual attraction than dreams where you can remember having an affair or having sexual intercourse with someone. This type of dream is more common in men than it is for women. Yes, the Hidden desire may be the reason people believe they have to share their dreams with uninvited partners, but it isn't the true explanation. Try to trust your gut instinct!

Conclusion of dreaming about sex

To dream about sex is usually a sign that different parts of your body are in conflict with each other, and the content you see in your dreams represents how those conflicting parts of yourself come together. Although dreams will vastly differ from person to person, it is suggested that someone is likely to have 100,000 dreams in their lifetime. Sex dreams consist of 8% of these.

To dream about sex can sometimes be unsettling, as dreams such as these can involve anything from an ex who you’ve had a bad experience with; someone you have very negative feelings for; or even a sibling or parent. To wake up from a sexual dream involving someone is usually extremely hard to just forget about. But it is very important to remember that this does not mean you actually desire them in a romantic or sexual way. To dream about yourself having intimate relations will usually mean you are subconsciously becoming like your partner in the dream. You might feel as though you are emerging into adulthood; or that you, yourself, are soon to become a parent. If you dream about yourself having sex with someone close to you, perhaps you are in conflict with yourself and feel concerned about what new responsibilities you have to take on? On the other hand, if you dream about a parent or other relatives, such as a sibling, it could mean you are longing to be closer to them; or perhaps mend your broken relationship.

If, on the other hand, if you see yourself having sex with a celebrity; someone you admire; or even someone you may find attractive in real life, this dream represents the feelings you have towards them. Dreaming of a celebrity will usually mean you are longing for fame, fortune, and success. Dreaming of someone you admire or find attractive in real life, will usually suggest parts of your introverted self that could be in conflict with each other. To be dissatisfied with yourself in the dream is very common, but these dreams will show you hidden feelings that you may not have actually realized. Are you are unhappy in your real life? This can be both negative and positive. Being unaware means you are not affected by it so much, but it also means you are still carrying around a negative state of mind with you.

To stop carrying this “negative” feeling with you, you need to understand what it is you need to move on from, and how, rather than still keeping it with you but pretending you’re not by trying to push it out of your mind. If you are watching others have sex in your dreams, you might be too involved in their relationship. This can be for many reasons, such as longing for your own; or having problems with the one you are in. If you dislike the people you see; or if you, yourself are having sex with someone you dislike in your dream, then this could mean they are very much in your face with their opinions and judgments.

If you are dreaming about having sex with and people are watching indicates nothing to do with desire, but rather a frustration, envy, or the need to detract from them. Lastly, your dreams generally consist of things you have experienced throughout the day. To dream of having sex with your sister is connected to our inner hopes and fears. Maybe you have been thinking deeply recently. Dreaming of having sex with your brother can be associated with being lost in a work situation. Do you feel you need to study more in life?
