Sex with friend in dreams

I can honestly say I have never had a honest-to-goodness sleeping dream that involved having sex with someone...until today. It shouldn't surprise me because it involved a friend whom I have a bit of a crush on, but it still managed to surprise me because I don't quite feel that fond of him (I don't think I do anyway :shock:). And when I woke up, I had a bit of a cramp in my lower regions as if I'd had sex recently.

My dream dictionary says that these kinds of dreams can occur when one is not wholly satisfied by their current partner and when there is a lack of intimacy, and both of these apply to me right now. Would there be other reasons why, of all people my mind could think of, it made me have such an intimate dream about my friend?

You can't really trust what dream dictionaries have to say... there is no blanket definition for dreams. Everyone is different.
When you have dream sex, there is increased blood flow to the genitals, as if you actually were having sex. Only your heartbeat doesn't raise.
Sex dreams can occur randomly. They have little more significance than dreaming about unicorns. They can occur if you haven't had sex in a while, though. As for having sex with that certain guy, don't worry about it. Dreams are pretty much random. For instance, I once had a dream in which i was having sex with a sculpture of a pig, and I am definitely not into bestiality or clay, lol.

Hope it helped, and happy dreaming.

Thanks for the reassurance, Conkt. I don't feel quite as odd now about my dream (even if it would be kind of fun to do that with Crush if I were single :oops:).
