Sexy dreams are not just normal, but they can reveal a lot about our inner world. Whether you dream of sex with a stranger, a family member, or an animal, the contents of your sexual fantasies are telling about what’s going on in your life.
Having sexy dreams doesn’t mean you have a raging sex drive, but it could indicate that you are feeling unfulfilled in your relationships. Here are a few tips on how to dream about sex:
1. Put on a sexy outfit
There’s nothing wrong with having steamy dreams — as long as you’re in control of them. Sex dreams can be a great way to explore your sexuality, connect with your emotions, and become more in tune with your desires. So, if you want to spice up your sleep, try these techniques to induce sexy dreams that leave you feeling hot and satisfied upon awakening.
Wear sexy pajamas or lingerie before you get in bed, and change the sheets to something smoother and silkier than what you usually use. Then, before you go to sleep, read a sensual book or listen to an erotic audio story (try Dipsea’s bedtime stories, which are more romantic and kinky than your average kids’ tale). You can also set the mood by lighting scented candles, spraying a sexy perfume on your pillow, or listening to soft, romantic music as you drift into slumber.
If you’re dreaming about a celebrity, try to focus on the specific qualities that are making you feel sexually aroused (i.e., their body language or personality traits). For example, dreaming about a celebrity doesn’t necessarily mean you’re secretly smitten; it could be that your subconscious is craving some of that person’s qualities (like assertiveness or confidence) that you lack. In the case of dreaming about a coworker, Loewenberg says it could be that you’re yearning for a more intimate and connected workplace.
2. Listen to sensual music
If you want to have sexy dreams, you need to create the right environment for them. And music is a great place to start. Try listening to something that you think is sensual, like sexy club beats or pulsing house music. This will stimulate your sexual arousal and make you more likely to dream about sex.
Or, try listening to sultry romantic or love songs. You might even listen to a sexy audio story or erotic novel to get your blood pumping. If you’re a little more daring, you can even try a sexy podcast like Sex and the City or The Secret.
Another way to prime yourself for a sexy dream is to talk about your fantasies during the day. This is because our thoughts are what end up in the dream world.
You can also practice orgasmic meditation before you go to sleep to increase your arousal levels and set the tone for your dream. This involves imagining touch-based scenarios that you find pleasurable, like kissing or having intercourse.
It’s also worth noting that dreams of same-sex encounters can signify a desire for intimacy or connection with someone else. This could be someone you’re crushing on or a member of your community. Alternatively, it could be a desire for a spiritual or political union. If these themes are recurring in your dreams, it’s important to speak to a mental health professional.
3. Rehearse your fantasy
Dreams about sex are often seen as signs of raging libido, but that’s not always the case. Often, these dreams can reveal more about our unconscious desires and emotions. For example, if you’re dreaming about an ex-lover, they may represent some unresolved issues or a desire for closure. Alternatively, dreaming about someone you admire or respect can be symbolic of your own values and interests. Dreaming about a celebrity could also represent your desire for fame or power, or it might simply reflect the way you perceive the person in real life.
Similarly, dreams about fantasies like fetishes, group sex or celebrities may be more meaningful than you might think. For instance, a fetish dream could represent your fascination with specific objects, garments or body parts. A dream about a group or threesome could symbolize your desire for communal and non-monogamous relationships. Dreaming about a celebrity may also reflect your desire for status or admiration, or it could be a sign that you are feeling insecure.
If you want to have more sexy dreams, try listening to erotic audio stories before you go to sleep, experimenting with lucid dreaming or just fantasizing about your ideal partner. These strategies can help to prime your brain for a sexy night, and they might even lead to arousal while you’re sleeping or orgasms when you wake up.
4. Practice lucid dreaming
You’ll need to practice your lucid dreaming skills before attempting sexual dreams. The goal of lucid dreaming is to become aware that you are in the dream state and then take control of it. To do this, you must be able to stay calm and focused. Then, you can use techniques to manipulate the dream and add sensory details that make it more realistic.
You can also engage your senses by adding smells and sounds to the dream. You can even try out different positions and activities in the dream, such as swimming or flying. In addition, you can practice using visualization to increase your chances of having a sexy dream.
Another thing to keep in mind is that sex in a dream may feel real, but it’s not necessarily accurate. The reason for this is that the brain adds some characteristics of sex to the experience to make it more exciting and arousing. This is why you sometimes see erotic fantasy scenes in movies that don’t reflect real sex.
Sexual dreams often occur during the rapid eye movement (REM) stage of sleep, which is associated with high levels of brain activity and muscle paralysis. However, the exact neurochemical and psychological mechanisms that cause sexual dreaming are unknown. Some researchers have suggested that sexual dreams may be a result of sexual frustration or sexual arousal, while others have linked them to hormones and other biological processes.
