Dreams, according to Sigmund Freud, should be interpreted through sexual symbols. Sexual dreams again, according to a dreamer, should be interpreted as signs of bad or good manta rays, depending on the conservative or liberal opinion of the author.
If this all sounds complicated or you’re wondering why you’ve been having dreams lately that would make Mia Khalifa blush, here are the possible explanations.
Libido is not to blame, it happens to everyone
Sex dreams do not mean that you are drunk or that you are hungry and dreaming. On the contrary, it is a common phenomenon and in fact, according to the research of Dr. Antonio Zadra from the University of Montreal with over 3,5000 participants, they make up 8% of all dreams we see. Intercourse is the most common sexual dream in both sexes, according to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, followed by scenes of immoral proposals, kissing, fantasy or masturbation.
Also note that participants experienced orgasm in 4% of the above dreams.
A connection of the past with the present
Sexual dreams with older partners can be interpreted in many ways. For dream analyst Layne Dalfen, they can reveal what’s going on in your life right now. “If my husband makes me feel rejected, I’ll probably open the closet of my romantic experiences in my sleep and be visited by the partner when I was 18 who made me feel exactly the same way,” she explains. .
The aforementioned research concluded that 20% of women, compared to 14% of men, reported dreams about current or former partners. If you identify, remember that the erotic past is connected to the present, whether it’s sweet nostalgia or painful rejection.
