Love & Sex

This is what it means when you dream that you are cheating yourself

You can be so happy with your man and sleep so well next to each other. Entwined, spooning, in love, until the cows come home. Only to wake up with an immense feeling of guilt.

Because in your dreams, that's where things sometimes happen. There are also naughty things happening, yes. With other men than the one lying next to you. If you dream that you've had sex with someone other than your husband, you certainly don't need to feel guilty about it. Because, as experts say, it says absolutely nothing about your relationship. It doesn't mean that something is wrong in your relationship and it doesn't mean that you're tired of your partner. Not at all. It's actually just a sign that you're missing some excitement. Not so much in your relationship, but just in your life. Your whole life could use a little extra spice.

Maybe you're ready for a new job, a new trip, or a new hobby. Your relationship might not even have anything to do with that whole unrest. Just go for something new. Something fresh. Something you don't know yet. Eat something you've never tasted before, go to a place you've never seen, and dance to a song you've never heard. Do a somersault in the garden, who cares. It does a person good. And your relationship too. Even if it's just in your dreams..

But yes, waking up with the feeling as if you've had a wild romp with that neighbor boy. That tall guy from the pub. That best friend of your partner. Not great, you think, not great. Sorry babe, sorry, you think. Pay attention. Remember that besides the fact that you're missing excitement in your life, cheating in your sleep can also mean that you need a bit more security, a bit more affirmation. From your love maybe, yes. Who knows, you might need him to say that you're beautiful. That you're a lovely creature and that you're wonderful between the sheets. Yes, that's just how it is. We humans are social animals and social animals often need a bit of attention, love, and approval. So see it as something you can talk about with your lover, then hopefully he'll pick up on it. Then you might finally get that compliment.

And then you just jump on him the next night. You won't hear anyone complaining anymore. Plus: you don't have time to dream. Bye.
