What does it mean when women have erotic dreams?

Adult men and women will encounter erotic dreams. In fact, it is not shameful to have erotic dreams. It is just a normal physiological reaction of the human body. People will have desires after adulthood. When desires are not satisfied, they will dream of the same types and scenes. So don’t understand erotic dreams as something that is difficult to talk about. On the contrary, dreaming is to satisfy our wishes, so everyone’s dreams will be different.

Why do people have erotic dreams?

Dreams are a normal physiological and psychological phenomenon. Everyone has had dreams. "Dream of Red Mansions" describes 21 vivid and different dreams, including 4 erotic dreams between men and women. The famous ancient opera "The Peony Pavilion" describes the mythological story of a young woman named Du Liniang who met a young man named Liu Mengmei in a dream and had sexual relations with him. After waking up from the dream, she missed him so much that she died of depression. In the end, she came back to life and married Liu Mengmei.

When adolescent boys and girls have erotic dreams, they are called "sexual dreams." Sexual dreams are very common. In one study, researchers surveyed 250 college students and the results showed that 66.4% of them had dreams about "sexual experiences" (mainly sexual intercourse). If other forms of sexual content are included, almost everyone has had this type of dream. Psychologists believe that sexual dreams are the spontaneous exposure of sexual desire impulses that are suppressed in the subconscious, and are a sign of normal sexual psychology and physiological development. The natural release of sexual dreams acts like a safety valve, which can ease the accumulated sexual tension and is conducive to the improvement and maturity of the functions of sexual organs.

There are many possible forms of sexual content in dreams, such as: seeing a naked person of the opposite sex, kissing or hugging someone of the opposite sex, being caressed sexually, caressing someone of the opposite sex, sexual intercourse, etc. The image of the opposite sex in the dream is sometimes clear and sometimes vague; sometimes, there will be plots of sexual contact with the same sex in the dream, but the person who has this dream has no observable homosexual tendencies. Sometimes, dreams involve sexual assault (such as rape), but the person having this dream does not have any tendency to commit sexual assault. Therefore, there is no need to worry too much about abnormal behavior in your sexual dreams.

The sexual object in a sexual dream is not selectable. A survey report shows that the object of sexual desire of the dreamer may be someone with whom he or she is deeply in love but not married, or a classmate, neighbor, relative or friend, or a person who has only been met once but has no contact with him or her, or even a stranger who has never met the dreamer.

The content of male sexual dreams, like other dreams, is fragmented and difficult to describe clearly afterwards. For people who have no sexual experience, their dream behaviors can only reach the level of sexual knowledge that they usually see, think about, and hear. People who have had sexual experience may repeat the content of their past experiences. However, women's sexual dreams are different from men's. They can often recall the detailed content of the dreams after waking up, and it affects their emotions and behaviors. Some even believed that the "dream man" raped them after giving them anesthetics, and they were terrified and in great pain after waking up. Some even filed lawsuits by naming the man. It is said that in the 17th century, nuns in a monastery in London, England, accused a local handsome priest, saying that he used witchcraft every night to put them into a coma and then molested them. At first, it was the abbess of the monastery who was "humiliated", and later all the nuns in the monastery had the same "experience". As a result, innocent priests were burned alive. The reason was that the nuns all admired the young and handsome priest, which led to sexual dreams; based on their hysterical character, they believed it to be true and falsely accused the priest of molestation.

We often talk about our dreams, but it is difficult to talk about erotic dreams that involve explicit sexual experiences or sexual behaviors. "Erotic dreams" are actually psychological reactions to one's own sexual attitude or interpersonal relationships. Generally speaking, people with sexual experience are more likely to have clear "erotic dreams" than those without. The erotic dreams of people without sexual experience often have vague sexual objects. People with low levels of sexual repression are prone to having explicit "erotic dreams", while the "erotic dreams" of people with high levels of sexual repression are obscure and hidden. "Erotic dreams" may have a direct relationship with the actual sexual psychology of the person, or they may have nothing to do with sex and be just a psychological reaction in interpersonal communication. Specific dreams require specific analysis.
