‘If I want you in my arms. All I have to do is Dream’
I’m sure that many if not most of you are not familiar with the lyrics I used from am old 1950’s Everly Brothers song for my title, but it sure came to my mind when I read this article on wet dreams. I find the article interesting so I’m going to share it with my readers.
Question: have you ever experienced an orgasm from a dream?
My answer: No. Unfortunately not in years, but I have in the past. Now days some kind of sub-conscious censor has implanted himself in my psyche. I can start a sexy dream but just before I get to the really good part a curtain falls as if someone said you’re not allowed to go there. At this point I wake up frustrated and disappointed.

Fun Facts About Sex Dreams
Posted: 2007-08-23 14:02:57
Chances are, you had a sex dream this week. Fully eight percent of
our dreams involve sexual situations, according to a new study from
psychologists at the University of Montreal in Canada.
Interestingly, women have just as many sex dreams as men, with one
important difference: Men are far more likely to have fantasies about
sex with imaginary people, while women dream about current or past
sexual partners, as well as celebrities, reports HealthDay News.
“Men used to report many more sex dreams, twice as many as women, and
we don’t find that difference anymore,” study author Antonio Zadra,
an associate professor of psychology at the University of Montreal,
explained to HealthDay News. “Either women are having them more, or
they’re more likely to report them. Either way, it’s interesting. ”
Even though sex dreams are very common, psychologists haven’t paid
much attention to them. For this study, the team asked 109 women and
64 men ages 20 to 89, all of whom responded to an ad about the
research project, to keep a diary of their dreams for as long as one
month. The total number of dreams exceeded 3,500.
What do we dream about?
— The most common sex dream involved sexual intercourse, followed by
flirting, kissing, fantasies and masturbation.
— Four percent of sex dreams among men and women resulted in an
orgasm.
— 18 percent of women’s sex dreams involved unwanted sex, compared
with just five percent of men.
— Nine percent of sex dreams among women and five percent among men
involved fantasies about celebrities.
— Men were far more likely to dream about having sex with more than
one person.
— Four percent of women’s dreams featured a partner having an
orgasm. None of the men reported this dream.
Zadra explained that if you dream about something, it probably
occupies your waking thoughts as well. “If the sex dreams tend to
involve unknown or fantasy characters, it is probably a reflection of
your waking state, that your desires and fantasies are with
strangers,” he told HealthDay News.
The study findings were reported at the annual meeting of the
Associated Professional Sleep Societies in Minneapolis, Minn.
Eighty percent of us have a wet dream once a week. Do you? If you’re one of the lucky ones, is it always the same or is it different each time? Would you like to tell us about it?
