Reminders of loneliness.
Sexual interactions in my dreams leave me waking uneasy with my status of sharing affection. Anyone else feel this way?
Any advice? I used to think they were kind of fantastic and amazing, but they've lost their appeal.
Another issue is having roughly 5 dreams a night means they can occur with frequency.

I must be screwed lol. A bunch of views no responses.

I'm not sure if I understood you correctly. Can you please rephrase the first sentence?
Are you trying to say that you are lonely, and that dreams about sex amplify that feeling of loneliness?

sometimes your dreams make you feel you get what you can't attain as an act of compassion, but you've already figured it out so it's lost it's effect, but the dream keeps on happening , it's like a sign for you to take action and cope with problems of afection, or being much more affectionate.

Jung said that dreams are correcting an incorrect attitude you hold in waking life.
Loneliness does not come from being alone. You can be lonely in a crowd, with your friends, or in a relationship. It's an attitude you're responsible for. It's also of course possible to be completely alone and not at all lonely.
Often people put too much dependence on others for their happiness. If they're unhappy in a relationship for instance they'll blame the other person.
You have no control over what other people do to you, but you do control your attitude toward it. Feeling lonely is a self-indulgence and dependency. Don't get me wrong - of course it's perfectly understandable to feel lonely after ending a close relationship, losing a friend or whatever... but it's an emotional injury - you'll recover from it when you grow strong again.
If you suffer form loneliness frequently you're not living right.
Ok I'll modify this - I know different people have different temperaments and personality types, and some seem to need close relationships in order to feel complete.

Righteous video. :D The library seems a bit cooler now.
"Are you trying to say that you are lonely, and that dreams about sex amplify that feeling of loneliness?"
Only lonely when it comes to having a beloved. The dreams are just taunting and make me wake in misery. My attempts of coquetry since graduating have been mixed in results. Just escaping the perfectly projected realm behind my eyelids has me waking with the sickening feeling of rejection.
I'm not a generally mopey man though. Most days out of the week I feel in the prime of being alive. Longboarding, keeping in touch with friends, working, and smiling until I drift in to dormancy. Coping with the emotional injuries is what I have to do for my own good. Self help has gotten me out of many ruts in the past, but love is different and still feels a mystery to me.
"It's an attitude you're responsible for. It's also of course possible to be completely alone and not at all lonely." I totally get this.
Thanks everyone, I got some thinking to do. :sleepmeditate2:
