• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

I am a married woman and so I am constantly putting sexual thoughts of other men aside. It's not that I really want to think about it but they just seem to happen, I love me husband and he fulfills all my desires but I recently had a dream that disturbed me. In my dream I had intercourse with a man I'm going to school with. It wasn't fulfilling in anyway and I didn't feel satisfied at all. But after it happened he began to throw himself into bushes and trees and he wouldn't stop(i'm assuming this was remorse for actions?) and he had sticks protruding from his legs and arms.....It took me off guard because I hadn't even entertained a sexual fantasy about this guy or any of the guys at school. Plus this isn't something normally discussed and I just wanted to know if anyone had any insight or similar experience? :/

I wouldn't try to dwell on it too much cause that tends to get you over thinking. I know I have similar dreams and they freak me out. (hope you don't mind if I share the general idea of them)

In my dreams I'll be having intercourse with women, sometimes I'll be myself, a girl, other times I'll physically be a guy, sometimes I'm neither. It's really odd and I try not to think about it because I know in my heart that 1. they are dreams, 2. I am heterosexual and have no sexual feelings for women.

It does freak me out sometimes, but I think it might be due to my monthly gift coming? I'm not sure, but I pray about it anyways and don't dwell.


I think if you're having to put thoughts about other men aside you should talk to your husband about it, or someone, a close girlfriend or something.

Dreams are most often symbolic - visual metaphors. Sometimes we can get insights from them. In your dream there were no illusions - it wasn't satisfactory for you and he did crazy things afterwards. That doesn't seem to me to be any indicator of wrong sexual intent. Actually is appears to reinforce your belief that sex outside of your marriage would be a negative experience.

Thank you all very much! you've definately put me at ease about the dream, especially Johnnz pointing out that it reinforces that sex outside of marriage is negative, that idea had never even crossed my mind! And thanks everyone else who said they had odd dreams too it's good to know I'm not alone!
