What Erotic Dreams Might Mean

Have you ever had the experience of waking up all sweaty, hot and bothered? If you have and you have no idea what it is that woke you up or what you were dreaming about, then you were most probably having an erotic dream. Dreams are a normal occurrence, where you get to see or experience an event or a series of events during sleep. There is not even a concrete definition of dreams, but what experts know is that people spend about a couple of hours per night dreaming. Dreams most likely occur between that period of slumber and wakefulness, when the brain is beginning to function consciously from a night's sleep.

Dreams take on different forms - from having an almost life-like quality to them or to having the most far out reality. Also, dreams are often a sequence of incoherent events which will most likely not happen in real life. The most common dreams that people have is the ones where they are walking down the street in their birthday suits and dreaming of flying. In addition to these, dreams can take on an erotic form.

Because of the physical satisfaction that people experience during the act, your subconscious looks for a means to relive the experience, which is one of the most probable reasons why there are wet dreams or erotic dreams. If you have a vivid imagination, your most intimate sexual fantasies can be transformed into erotic dreams.

For example, if you are dreaming of making love with a person that you know whom you are not supposed to be attracted to, this does not mean that you subconsciously have deep feelings for them. Sometimes, although a particular dream takes on an erotic turn, this may not have a sexual connotation at all.

However, there are elements in your dreams that may have a sexual connection. Dreaming about being in a body of water often indicates sexual frustration on the part of the dreamer. If you dream about mounting a horse - the animal can signify human vitality or the wanting of an individual to have an exciting sexual experience.

On the other hand, a truly erotic dream could mean an entirely different thing. If you've ever had a dream of having sex with a stranger on an airplane, dream experts say that this means that you are actually off to higher places. It could indicate a promotion at work, or future successes in your other endeavors. Another example is having a series of erotic dreams where you never reach the peak of satisfaction. This could indicate a lack of trust between you and your partner. Also, it could mean that the dreamer is not satisfied with the way that her life or her profession is going and there seems to be an obstacle to reaching her personal goals.

All in all, erotic dreams are fun and exciting to have but you need to dig deeper to know what they actually mean and how they can affect your life as a whole.
