Other people’s dreams are never interesting…except when they’re about sex. Each week, our dream analyst Lauri Loewenberg tells one lucky reader what their dirty dream means. Got a dream you want Lauri to analyze? Click here to submit it) This week, a reader asks Lauri:
I recently had a wild night and had sex with two guys. Since then I’ve been having dreams about them and that I was pregnant with twin boys.
Lauri: Ooh! You naughty girl! This is a very interesting dream considering the event that brought it about. I doubt the dream is telling you that you’re pregnant… you WERE using condoms, right? More likely, this dream is alerting you to the fact that — rather than a fetus growing inside of you — a new mindset or behavior is growing and developing inside of you. You have to examine closely how you now feel about yourself and about that tryst since that night. Are you remorseful? If so, your dream may be warning you that these negative feelings towards yourself are growing and multiplying, in which case you need to just look at it as getting something off your bucket list and move on. Or are you totally turned on by it and wanting more? If so, it may be a new desire for having two at a time that’s growing, in which case you’ll need to proceed with caution. Since there are three people involved rather than just two, the emotions that follow can be a little more complicated and tough to sort out.

Mike, I (Em) just heard a story on the radio this morning about this! A woman was separated from her husband, started sleeping with a new guy but didn’t bother using contraception as she and her husband had had to go through IVF for their two kids. Then she got pregnant… with twins. Both men were really hoping the twins were theirs (her husband was hoping to reconcile) — and it turned out they had one each! It ended up really bonding them all as a weird modern blended family and they’re all friends now and help raise the kids together.
Sometimes this actually happens in humans. There’s a 1 in 40 chance that fraternal twins have different fathers as a result of what is called heteropaternal superfecundation.
There’s another rare condition called tetragametic chimerism where blastocysts fuse together during mitosis. Statistically speaking, there’s probably people who have both conditions, meaning that they have DNA from two different biological fathers.
I’m no dream analyzer but this dream just seems like a weird expression of something that’s just on your mind. You are thinking about the threesome you had and therefore you’re having dreams about it, the twin thing is probably just your unfiltered mind equating two guys to two children.
