In fact, most of the time, what you're dreaming about has a lot more to do with what your subconscious is working on than a conscious physical attraction to the other people in your sex dream.ĭream research is an ever-evolving science that has yet to draw a whole lot of conclusions regarding why we dream what we dream. You might wake up from a sex dream involving your fourth grade PE teacher and wonder, "What was that all about?"īefore you start worrying that a dream about someone means you want to jump their bones IRL, we want to assure you that sex dreams aren't always to be taken literally. Think “Inception,” “Waking Life,” or “Vanilla Sky.” (Speaking of people to dream about.)įirst let's explore how to have sex dreams, then let's dig into getting lucid so you can make your sexual dreams exactly what you want them to be. Lucid dreaming is a dream state in which you realize you're dreaming and can therefore begin to control what happens in dreamland.

There's no guaranteed tactic to make you have a certain type of dream, but there are plenty of strategies for nudging your subconscious in the right direction. But what if you could control what happens in your dream state and help yourself have more sex dreams where you're able to dictate the outcome? And sometimes-if you're lucky-you get sex dreams instead. In most cases, the nocturnal orgasms that happen in your teens slow down as you enter adulthood. They can continue into adulthood and are perfectly healthy and normal-especially as people age and become less sexually active.


While sleep orgasms (wet dreams or nocturnal emissions) happen most often as humans hit puberty, teenage boys and girls aren't the only ones experiencing them. Maybe the dreamy encounter was with your current partner, an ex-partner, your mail deliverer, your boss, or Ashton Kutcher (whatever floats your boat). Have you ever woken up feeling super happy and flushed after having a sex dream? Maybe you literally woke up orgasming.
