I Dreamt I Had a Burnt Penis, Then a Flaming Vulva!

Other people’s dreams are never interesting…except when they’re about sex. If you’ve got a good one, our dream analyst Lauri Loewenberg just might tell you what it means! Click here to submit yours (18 and older only for dream interpretations, please). This week, a reader asks Lauri:

I had the strangest dream last night. I cannot remember all of the parts, but in my dream (keep in mind I’m a female), I had a larger than average sized penis, which I didn’t even question in the dream, but when I looked down it was erect and was messed up looking, especially at the tip. It was black and greenish, but in the dream I was freaking out because I thought I “burnt” it. I was crying hysterically in the dream and asked my boyfriend’s mom to please look at it for me and tell me what it was.

I don’t remember exactly what happened after that, but when I looked down again I had my normal female anatomy back, but this time my vagina was on fire. Literally, it was flaming and burning and nothing else was on fire. It freaked me out and scared me so I jumped in an ocean to try and put it out, but the water only made the fire bigger.

I cannot understand what this means at all! I’ve never had a dream as crazy as this one and it was so realistic, I woke up and had to look under my pants to make sure everything was okay!

LauriTo be perfectly honest, I was going to pass on using your dream in this column because I have covered the topic of women having penises so many times… but then I read that your vagina was on fire! So let’s do this!  

A penis in a dream is more often about your ability to “stand up” for yourself, be “firm” and assertive, all the qualities we typically associate with male energy. You must have recently exerted yourself in this way. In your dream your penis was messed up and looked burnt to you. By asserting yourself in real life, do you fear you may have messed up and “burned” a bridge? Or did you perhaps get a bit too “hot headed?”

Your nether region then returned to normal… except that it was on fire. Hopefully this dream isn’t a by-product of an itching, burning condition down there that might need a doctor’s visit but rather a metaphor for something that is really angering you and your female sensibilities (hence your vagina). Ask yourself what real life situation only got worse when you tried to quell it. I think your dream is trying to show you that cooler heads prevail.
