OK, if you don't understand my question, please ask.
After all my first language is not English. It might be that I didn't express myself correctly.

Dream in this case is what occurs while one is sleeping.
Do you have any word that is more appropriate to use in this case?

Imagine you are believer and there is certain things that are forbiden for you, for example let's use the favorite here gay sex. So you belive it is wrong to have gay sex. Now, you go to bed and you have a dream in which you make gay sex.
Next thing you do is to go to the chirch and tell the father. Now come the questions.
Is it unethicall to tell the father about your dream.
Is it ethical if the father decides to put a punishment upon you, say you must tell a prayer 1000 times or physical punishment.

It not unethical to tell people about your dreams but there is no reason to tell anyone in the first place. Especially if they are going to judge your dreams. Dreams are meaningless so just forget them.

Thanks for your answers.
Yes, they are. But sharing the dream is in my control, thus the double queston.
I don't agree. Dreams may have meaning. Maybe we don't know what it is, but that doesn't mean we should label them as meaningless.
The problem is that the dream is not shameful for me, but that it can offend certain people. For example, having a dream that the church father had gay sex. Now, do telling him what I have dreamt is ethical?

Of course, if you're dreaming about gay sex, it's not necessarily gay sex that you're really dreaming about.

What you mean?
Say, If I dream about killing people it's not nesessarily killing what I'm dreaming about. That just doesn't make sense.
Please explain.

You can dream something because of what you saw or read or ate or heard before falling asleep. Dreams DO NOT mean anything. If you believe they do you are talking magic and whatnot...and there is no reasoning with someone who believes that stuff. Go to a psychic or mystic or fortune teller.

If you dream about killing people, you may not *really* be dreaming about killing people.
Dreams are not often literal.
Killing people in dreams is often a manifestation of feeling crowded, blocked in, or of too many people being in front of you (perhaps for a job promotion or an academic standing.)
You're probably not really thinking about killing them, only wishing that they would go away.
Depends on how they're killed, though. Bloodlessly, through a sniper's scope, may mean something different than if you're dreaming about wading into the grue of body parts with a bloodied straight-razor in each hand.
Or, you may have simply watched Saving Private Ryan one time too many.
Either way, though, it's just a dream. The fact that you're disturbed about it shows that it's not some subconscious urging towards murder.
Don't sweat it.

Still Wondering...
some dreams tyho are recycled memories of past events. I still dream of things when I was active duty and I still wake up time to time from them.
I use to tell a veteran counselor about it but some of what I would dream I would or could never tell just anyone - they would never understand.
but as time goes on, one learns to deal with it and accept it as a part of one's life. still wake up time to time tho.
