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. This week, a reader asks Lauri:
So I’ve been having a lot of wet dreams lately. That fact I find normal. But it’s who I’m having them with that I’m curious about. For some reason they are always with women. Recently I’ve even had a dream about a steamy encounter with one of my best girlfriends. Does that mean I am bi-curious or is that normal?
Lauri: If having a naughty dream about the same gender meant you were bi-curious, why we’d all be AC/DC! So to answer your question, yes. T’is quite normal indeed. In my research, it is not uncommon for same gender sex dreams to come in waves or spells such as yours. This is not unlike having a wave of say, falling dreams. In fact, I’ve personally been having a wave of fire dreams! The reason dream themes sometimes come in waves is because the issue or behavior they are connected to goes on for as long as the dreams do. That being said, let’s see if we can’t figure out what is triggering these girl-on-girl dreams for you.
The first thing you have to keep in mind is that sex dreams are not usually about sex at all but rather a uniting or merging of ideas, mindsets or energies. Random or unknown women often represent female or yin energy, which is typically creativity, sensitivity, the ability to nurture and to be a good listener… the qualities generally associated with women. Lesbian dreams are VERY common with pregnant women, for example, because there is nothing more “feminine” than being in incubator mode. Have you been particularly creative, nurturing or sensitive lately?
Now let’s look at your friend. Only you know for sure if you secretly desire her lady garden, but odds are this dream came at a time when the two of you had some sort of meeting of the minds, when the two of you really “came together” on some level, or perhaps put up a united front about something. You may have even recently taken on one of her behaviors or qualities as your own, you may have merged a part of her into you. Whatever the case, the dream is a really good sign that you two are definitely on the same wave length!

I had the strangest dream last night. I lustfully fell in love with a woman. We introduced each other to our respective friends and tried to keep it to ourselves, but everyone knew. We couldn’t keep our eyes or hands off each other. When I woke I felt a sense of loss that lasted half the day. It wasn’t anyone I’d met before, but I’d know her if she walked in the room. I wonder if my husband would love or hate that particular scenario…
I did have a long time friend suddenly come out and recently met her new girlfriend. I can easily see that as the source of the dream. It shook me up though.
I read this post and found some comfort in it. But still not all. I had a dream just last night that involved me having an intimate relationship with a girl. Yes a couple of guys were there two. But the funny thing is the other girls that were friend with this girl I was going to have sex with were in groups like. Gang type groups bit not gangs. And she was Asian. I did see one Asian at a convention that I
wen to a past weekend ago but I didn’t think. She was hot or pretty. I have no friends that are girls I mostly-hang with guys. And i have no best friends that are girls. So i dont know wht it could possibly mean I would really like to know.
Last night I had a dream that I was a prostitute. In that dream my pimp assigned me to sleep with two girls. I too wondered if that meant I was bi but then today I created the best work of art I’d ever done in my career as an artist. So it must be true what Lauri says about it representing creativity.
Loewenberg, the author of this article did not mention females. Men do not get dreams of the opposite sex. At least not straight males. I am undoubtedly straight.
I dreamed me and my best friend where lesbians and we both were kissing and i held her waist and down her butt i admit she does have a big butt and i have the boobs haa any who we were turned on and i began to finger and hump her when i woke up i was turned on i have kissed and hunped girls but when i was in high school
Last night I had a dream that I had a threesome it was weird because at first I wasnt into it because I was straight but the next thing I knew I was god dam doing it!! when I woke up I though.. ooh no not again!! mind you its been awhile since i last had that dream but reading that article gave me an insight…. I am not lesbo i am straight but when I noticed how much more mature they were I realised I wanted to be big like them…
Sooooooo my 3 best friends who ate boys say that they are lesbians. What is that supposed to mean?
But what if you’re a boy and you dream you’re a lesbian?
I’ve been having strange girl on girl dreams lately. They’re always with a complete stranger and I can never see their face, but I know I don’t know them personally. I’ve even had one where I’m a man in the dream having sex with another man! I’ve yet to find a solid interpretation on that one!
This Author is a fucking hack. Only a paragraph into her response, did I see undocumented bullshit written as fact.
This article is bullshit, and the lazy person who thinks they are knowing, only makes an insult to people who know.
I was questioning for a long time before I had this one dream about three years ago. It was about a woman I worked with, who had expressed interest in me and I was shooting down. In my dream, I was on her lap, and she was caressing around my hips. She asked me out again later, I finally said yes, and I’m about to be her wife.
I had a dream when I was in the eigth grade that I still remember quite vivdly. Me and an aquintance were in a white room, i was kissing her neck from behind and caressing her body at the same time..I also kissed the side of her head. I am 17 now and we have continued to be friends, infact we are best friends now…after all those years I have never told her this dream but I have found we have alot in common. Although, after I had this dream, for the past 4 years or so I have been extremely attracted to her (sexually) alot of my fantasies included her. FOR THE RECORD I AM STRAIGHT, i know this forsure…anyhow sometimes I feel as though we are/were on the same wavelengths and she may have possibly had some of the same kind of dreams about me… ?
Here’s our definition of sex in dreams, based on the largest database of dreams in the world… “Often a literal representation of sexual desire, sex also functions as a metaphor for attraction to qualities that your partner represents. Sex with a much older person, for example, typically reflects a desire for security. Sex with a celebrity reflects that our social status is “moving up” in the world. (A celeb treats us like an equal!) Sex with a friend or co-worker can be a metaphor for “good working chemistry.” Dreams of same sex relations are common. Are you curious, or do you just want to be as beautiful as your dream lover?”
When I first went away to college my room mates and I all got high together (my first time) and I passed out. I dreamed that the three of us had an interesting intimate encounter, and it scared the hell out of me! All I needed was to bring a girlfriend home to my religious mother for thanksgiving. But it never happened, and I figured it was a sub-conscience-related occurrence as expressed in my intro psych class.
When a friend and I quit our jobs together after being treated rather badly, it was a last resort, we had been a great team at work and now we were a team at finding work. I had a dream about us. But I realized it was more about us being close. We have become very open with each other and close, we both have boyfriends but I knew it had nothing to do with sex it was all about us being a team and being close.
