Really weird dream

[5.M.1.L.3.Z]

So's, I'm bisexual, and it bothers me but it hasn't really been an issue lately, because I haven't actually liked anyone.

But last week I had a very realistic dream, in which one of my close friends (who is also female) and I were dating. Nothing really happened in this dream, but it was a dream that went over the span of a few weeks.

It's been a few days since I had the dream, but I keep getting flashbacks from the dream and I have all these memories of her and I having a relationship when we didn't. These memories aren't even memories, and it's so annoying. And now I can't look at her the same because I have these memories and I really don't like it because she's the person I spend the most time with. How do I make these fake memories go away? Can I?

Well, I don't think you can do a memory wipe as such... but those kind of things do fade with time, and a few days isn't very long.
Thinking of you, sweetie, and hoping this confusion passes soon.

The dream is just using the material already in your brain to provide an image of your bisexuality. It's not that you desire her specifically, but that she represents the female part of your sexuality.

Do you believe you are unchangeably bisexual? Often that is just an expression of a high sex drive.

Yea, I've had crazy dreams like that at times. But dont worry, the memories of the dreams will fade away soon. I know it's seriously irritating right now. But the more you worry about it the worse it seems. I'm not telling you to accept it though. Just try to push away the thoughts when you get it. I'll pray for you girl I really hope you wont have the dream again. Do let us know here when you've stopped getting them

I can definitely symathized with you. It is tough when you have a dream or fantasy attempting to mess with the way you view a close friend. For example, I'm a 20 year old guy, and I've had similar dreams about a young teenage girl that I've known for most of my life. It has taken several years of trying to convince myself to not view her romantically, and I still struggle sometimes, but there is hope. Something that has helped me is to listen to the way the one in question talks to you, and let that remind you of what your relationship with this person is.

I hope this helps and I'll keep you in prayer.
