I don’t usually have sex dreams, but when I do have them I remember them. When I was in high school I had a dream about my best friend (he’s a guy, I’m a girl) that ended up with us making out. It was bad enough that I was having such a dream about my like-a-brother-best-friend, but I also felt bad because he was dating my other best friend (they’re married now). Like others, it made me sick to my stomach. Although I suppose that since it only happened once and I was a teenager at the time, we can attribute it to hormones and nothing else. But still…yech. ---

Yes. For some reason though my sex dreams these days are quite frustrating. I have them all the time, am surrounded by sexy women, and yet I cannot bring myself to cheat on my wife even in my dreams! And she wouldn’t even mind! ---

Once I dreamed that I was about to cheat on my wife with some girl (not a real one). When, in my dream, I was ready to actually go through with it, I found the girl I was about to cheat with dead in my shower. Creepy. ---

Nah, but I wouldn’t mind those sort of dreams about most of my guy friends. The last sex dream I had involved having an affair with one of my science teachers that I never had a crush on or anything. It wasn’t even the science teacher who’s only six or so years older than me, either! ---

> [@Electric\_Warrior](#): > > I’ve had sex dreams about friends, about crushes, about significant others, about random people my brain invents, and about people I can’t stand. I no longer claim to understand my subconscious. Same here… Although the dream I had were I was making out with a coworker (whom I consider more like an older brother, and who is in a relationship), had me waking up going “WTF???”. And HE, who is seldom at his desk when I arrive to work, was there bright and early that morning… ---

Well, I’ve had a dream in which I _was_ about to take a very attractive stripper home (possibly for cash - memory is fuzzy), but she had to meet her friend before leaving. No problem, says dream-me - except that the friend she’s meeting turns out to be a (female) friend of mine. At that point, I become horribly embarrassed that my friend has caught me trying to pick up this stripper, hurriedly excuse myself, and wake up. So, I can’t say I can remember a sex dream about a friend, exactly, but I can remember a dream in which a friend _kept_ me from getting laid. ---

On the subject of dream cheating… since that’s come up. Recently, in a dream of mine, I was waiting in line, when this cute girl walked up and started talking to me. I followed along, held her hand, and we made out. I then actually stopped myself, and said “I can’t do this, I have a girlfriend”. I’m intensely proud of myself for that one… usually, my subconscious likes to explore new experiences. 🙂 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/you-ever-have-sex-dreams-about-your-friends/502936.md?page=1)
