Question about dreams

18+ only! -mention of Sexual detail A couple of months ago, I had a dream and I was aware that I was dreaming. In this dream, I felt more aroused and for some stupid reason, Kim Kardashian appeared and put her butt on my face. I remember waking up from this dream super upset because it was a lucid dream and I felt aroused from this dream, even though I would never want Kim K sexually in any way. I remember I called my boyfriend after I woke up because I felt like I cheated on him in this lucid dream. He felt like it was ridiculous for me to apologize because it was a dream. Im questioning if it fully was a lucid dream since I woke up regretting my decisions and felt awful especially because I felt aroused. I would never do that to my boyfriend irl and feel awful because i was lucid dreaming. Can anyone help explain dreams. I mean I was aware it was a dream but I wouldn’t have made those decisions irl? Is it because I’m still half asleep so I cant make smart decisions???

I have a few questions for you: How long has this dream been bothering you? Has it been every day since you had it? By questioning if it was a fully lucid dream, what absolute certainty are you hoping for? What values is your OCD attacking? I don’t know how to explain dreams. I don’t know if anyone really does. I have absolutely bizarre dream fairly often. No one is really responsible for their dreams. Try to not assign meaning to them. Doing so just sounds the alarms more and more

@MichelleV This dream happened about 5 months ago. I remember mentioning it to my bf the morning after it happened. I explained to him that I was lucid dreaming and he said he is not bothered because it was a dream. I have had other obsessions so I haven’t thought about this everyday, but recently I thought about it last week. I once again mentioned it to my bf and he said the same thing, “I would be ridiculous to get upset at a dream.” But like I said, I feel awful because it was a lucid dream where I felt aroused and was okay with what happened in the dream. My memory isnt perfect but I think I remember me in the dream knowing I had a bf, but felt too aroused to not care. Then when I woke up I felt such disgust. I am just hoping that my brain was just braining and that someone could have an explanation because I feel like I am really at fault. I would never cheat on my bf. Unfortunately I struggle with ROCD, particularly over me being a bad partner/cheater. I just feel like I did something bad as a partner://
