I keep having vivid dreams about sex. What does this mean?
You may want to repost this question in the sexuality section. You said 'vivid dreams', which are episodes clearly detailed, real to life and remembered. Is it then correct to assume these dreams are daytime fanasties of sexual exploits? Rather than what might normally occur during your sleep cycle overnight.If it is for sure in your night time slumber, your dreams may reflect a desire in your subconscious. If it is the daydreaming this obviously meaning you are inclined to have relations with someone. Since you also stated your tryists were short-term, unfulfilled. It isn't a guess these dreams illustrate sexual conquest or fulfillment.“A Hidden Public Health Hazard”My understanding the previous commenter gave you the green flag, for you not be ashamed of having your desires satisfied. Many in today's world are endorsing this fornicating freedom outside the martial arrangement. I am not in the right to advise you to abstain from having sexual relations out of wedlock. There are valid concerns to weigh out, including the consequences.People entretaining a warped view of sexuality may harm and cheapen their self-worth. Especally if they fornicate with persons who care nothing more than having a self-gratifying session at the cost of their partner. In marriage both individuals have a legal commitment to honorably consider and care for one another.Their intimate relations may help strengthen their marriage, enhance their true love and loyality to each other. As a young man you may wish to solidify your integrity, not break it down for the sake of pleasure. It is your choice how you wish to respond to these vivid dreams. Although you have the freedom to entertain such thoughts. You also have the privilege to reason and ponder the results in the long run.Supply to Your Knowledge Self-Control
I dream vividly every single night and can remember them every morning. What does this mean?
Similar to you, I dreamt every night and most of them are vivid.Sometimes it seems so real that I couldn't tell if it is a dream, reality or a memory, occasionally it takes me a few hours to get out of the feeling I have in the dream.I also woke up tired on most days even when I have 8 hours of sleep. My psychotherapist requested me to note down the numbers of times I woke up in night.She explained why I could remember my dreams and it's because I wasn't in deep sleep. During the REM moment I was awake hence she said I could remember my dream vividly. And since I am not in deep sleep and half awake most of the time, that is why I feel tired. This might be the answer to your question.I only found out this reason 3 days ago and have been writing down and being aware of:how many times I woke up in the night,what time did I sleep,how long did I take to fall asleep (using android sleep app),what time did I wake up next day andWhat did I do before sleepingrate my sleep quality (1 to 10).So far I noticed that if I wake up less, my sleep quality is higher, I also remember less of my dream. I also realise the less I try to remember my dream, the less I will. Perhaps you should stop trying to remember your dreams (or intepret dreams) so you can have a more peaceful sleep. I am also being advice to do boring stuff before bed instead of playing games or watching thriller. Hope this helps you too.FYI: since young I have vivid dream so I tried lucid dream when before bed, I get myself into the situation I want to dream then manipulate my dreams so I can prepare running 2.4km, practice for my coding exam, practice my presentation skill and problem solving.
Antidepressants giving me vivid nightmarish dreams + real-life side effects?
Sorry that the question is confusing. It's hard to explain. Ever since I started taking antidepressants (Lexapro, 10mg a day), I've been having extremely vivid dreams. They feel very, VERY real to me. When I wake up I remember the dreams as a memory, not a dream, and they feel like things i've experienced before. However, last night was more like a nightmare. To explain how I feel, this is what the dream was like: (warning for bugs and gross things. ii put it in this link to save character limit) http://pastebin.com/ysceCjCr I just had a panic attack and cried for an hour and a half because I could feel the bugs in my throat still and they weren't coming out. Just thinking about it still makes me gag. Other dreams like this have affected my perception of myself as well. It's almost hard to tell what is dream and what's not. Just living normally feels surreal. I am a 14 year old girl, this is very scary. Ive never taken prescription meds before. Is this normal to other people on antidepressants
What does it mean that I am suddenly having very vivid dreams?
Have your sleeping habits changed? You have a complete sleep cycle every 90 minutes or so, including REM (which is the dream state), so if you are waking up at the beginning or end of a sleep cycle you’re going to remember your dreams better because they’re closer to your conscious mind.A brief explanation:When a sleep cycle begins the brain drifts first through the lighter sleep patterns where REM is possible, then into the deeper delta brain wave patterns where you are in a deep sleep, and then back up through REM and ultimately a state of almost-awake (many people, like myself, do wake up briefly at that point and then fall back asleep).Deep sleep can last longer than REM so your chances of waking up at that point in the sleep cycle are greater. If you don’t remember your dreams chances are you’re waking up outside of REM.So if your sleep habits have changed, or your diet/lifestyle changed (which affects your sleep habits), then perhaps you’re simply in a better sleep rhythm and waking up on the tail end of REM as your body naturally wants to do.
Bad vivid dreams every night?
I have come to the point in bad dreams that I can't take it anymore, it's not just every week it's every day I'm having the most terrible dreams. I don't know if it's normal or not but they are very very vivid, like as if I was watching a movie, they're so realistic and odd. Either about demons or the earth ending and some that when I wake up from them I can't even sleep anymore of how terrified I am, not only that but I sleep walk and I sleep talk, I even dream while awake, yesterday night I had sleep paralysis, and sometimes when I wake up I see things in my room, bad things, they are coming for me and they stare at me. I strongly think something might be wrong with me but my mother always thinks that I'm a healthy person who just is having troubles sleeping. I want help, it's become so bad I don't feel like doing anything during the day, it's like a darkness taking over me, something has to be wrong with me and my dreams are trying to warn me of a serious problem, please help
Anxiety caused by vivid dreams, feeling "disconnected" from reality?
For the past week or so, I've been having very strange and vivid dreams at night. They usually do not interrupt my sleep, but I wake up feeling rather "disconnected" from reality and feeling almost brainwashed. Throughout the day I slowly start to fade back to my normal thought process, but I still become anxious that i'm "losing contact" with reality and my thought process is becoming quite different than it normally is. When I'm not distracted by something else, I start worrying about losing my mind and forgetting much of my life. The way I usually think is changing and that makes me panic. It all usually comes down to these strange dreams and I start to feel like i'm losing connection to the outside world. Any thoughts as to what this could be?
Do you ever have dreams that feel real?
I have dreams like that all the time but they are not necessarily scary. Alot of times I'll dream I found something really cool when I wake up in the morning I still feel as though the object is in my hand until I open it up and find nothing!
Wellbutrin strange dreams and nightmares?
Have you had these (when you can finally sleep due to the insomnia) from taking Wellbutrin. Last night (more like this morning) I had a series of bizarre dreams. In one of them I was on a cliff when a couple I do artwork for came onto the cliff to tell me they liked the curtains I sewed them (I don't sew). But they were returning them to make me wrap them creatively, Then Barbara Walters walked into my dream, grabbed a glass of champagne and said she was off to the symphony! I am an artist and have an imagination but this sh*t is getting weird. Does it go away or will Donald Trump be making a cameo appearance tonite?
