You must be very excited to have this kind of dream

Erotic dreams are sexual dreams, which refer to dreams related to sex. Psychologist Freud believes that all human thoughts and behaviors are based on sex, and dreams are not accidental associations, but the fulfillment of wishes.

A survey shows that 100% of men and 75% of women have had erotic dreams before the age of 45. Women's erotic dreams mostly occur between the ages of 20 and 45, while men's erotic dreams peak between the ages of 15 and 30. Women have erotic dreams about 3 to 4 times a year, while men have more, several times more than women.

Almost everyone has had erotic dreams. Du Liniang, a young girl in the Yuan Dynasty opera "The Peony Pavilion", dreamed that she met and had sexual relations with the young man Liu Mengmei. After waking up from the dream, she lost her appetite and died of depression due to missing him. From today's perspective, it would probably be difficult for her to understand that erotic dreams are normal physiological and psychological phenomena.

Is it normal to have erotic dreams?

When awake, sexual impulses are suppressed by reason, but at night when falling asleep, they are not restrained by anything and are active through the excitation foci of the cerebral cortex, so scenes inappropriate for children, such as hugging and sexual intercourse, appear in dreams.

The occurrence of erotic dreams is closely related to the level of sex hormones and sexual psychology in the body. Erotic dreams represent our subconscious desire for sex and are a sign of normal sexual psychology and physiology development. The natural release of erotic dreams acts like a safety valve, easing accumulated sexual tension. For teenagers, it is also beneficial to the improvement and maturity of sexual organ functions.

However, it is not a good thing to have spring dreams all the time.

From a physiological point of view, erotic dreams are a normal phenomenon. For example: Women's sexual desire is particularly strong during ovulation and before menstruation, and the natural release of erotic dreams can relieve accumulated sexual tension.

However, too frequent erotic dreams may be a sign of some kind of discomfort, such as excessive fatigue, too tight underwear, too frequent masturbation, etc. In a few people, it may also be an inflammation of the reproductive system or urinary system. If a normal sexual life is disharmony and suppressed for a long time, it will also cause frequent erotic dreams. If the above situation occurs, you need to seek treatment and consultation from a doctor or psychologist.

Can't choose the object of erotic dream? Is there a big difference between men and women?

When having an erotic dream, the gender of the person in the dream may change, and the object of the dream cannot be controlled by oneself. The gender may be the same or opposite sex, it may be someone with whom you are deeply in love but not married, it may be a classmate, neighbor, or even a stranger.

Researchers from the Royal College of Physicians of England found in their study of dreams that the content of erotic dreams of men and women is very different: women tend to dream of kissing, hugging and flirting, and often cannot see the other person's appearance clearly, and the scenes mostly appear in familiar places; men tend to dream of sexual details, and the objects are mostly strange women, female stars, etc., and the environment is also more specific, such as offices and cars.

Generally speaking, people with sexual experience are more likely to have "clear erotic dreams"; people with low sexual repression are more likely to have "explicit erotic dreams"; and some studies have shown that the higher the level of education, the higher the incidence of erotic dreams. Researchers say that people with more education have richer imaginations and are more easily influenced by books, periodicals, and film and television works.

In addition, erotic dreams are also related to sleeping posture. People who are used to sleeping on their stomachs have more erotic dreams.
