I've been having the same dream about having intercourse with different people. Not at the same time. One night would be my friend, another night it would be a friend who I haven't seen since high school (I'm 25 years now) another night it would be a family friends son (5 years younger than me) he was my best friend and I never thought oh him in any sexual way at all! I don't understand why I have these dreams. I don't mind dreams about sex, but why with people I know or used to know? Also I have very intense dreams about strange men I've never met. Why is that? Can someone please help me understand these dreams? I am a sensitive but I do not have strong powers. It runs in my family. Usually the oldest child in the family have a stronger power than the other kids. Thanks again for your kindness and help.

It sounds like it could be your dreams releasing sexual urges and your unconscious is just picking random people from your memory to have sex with in your dreams. The strange men are probably a consolidation of characteristics of different men that you know.

Even if I don't think about them? Some people I haven't even seen for years. One was a crush I had when I was 16. I was reading that if you dream of a friend or anyone in your life, they are thinking about you in the way you are dreaming about them. What do you think of that?

You keep these memories stored in your long-term memory even if you don't access them. There are a number of theories about how dreams are a way of processing different stores of memory (kind of like straightening up the files in a file cabinet overnight so they will be ready for use the next day ) so in dreams things that would normally stay in your long-term memory can be moved to other parts of memory.

So in a dream something that would normally be stuck in your longterm memory can sometimes show up in your working memory - where you actually think about things.

By the way, these different memory stores have real locations in your brain. People with brain damage that affects their memories lose functioning in specific types of memory, and not others (depending on where their brains were damaged.)

In waking life, things are moved out of your long-term memory for you to think about them when something happens that brings up an association you remember. For example, if many years ago you knew someone who used to wear a certain perfume, then you smell that perfume on someone else, it can get you to thinking about the person you used to know.

It's possible that something can happen that can remind you of something that happened between you and someone in your past, and if they are aware of that also - say it is something in the news or something that happened to someone you both know - it will remind you of them and it will remind them of you. So you might dream about them or think about them, and they might dream about you or think about you at the same time. You might not realize consciously the connection between the event that triggered you thinking about them and you thinking about them, so it could appear that you have suddenly been thinking or dreaming about them for no reason.

Thank you! I have another question. I completely understand what you are saying. Why do you sometimes have a sex dream about someone you normally don't think that way? Like this one kid from school. He was just a friend and that was it. I never had a crush on him or thought of him sexually. Maybe he thinks of me that way? If that's true then why would I think of him that way? Lol sorry I just don't understand.

It could just be a harmless, unconscious fantasy. Is he physically attractive at all? It's like if you see someone attractive in waking life and you think about them sexually just because of the physical attraction, even if you would never do anything with them in reality and you might not even particularly like their personality or you might not even really know them.

I think he is attractive but I don't think of him sexually. He's like a brother to me. I also dream about celebrities. Like Leonard from the big bang theory...I have sex with him like everyday or every other day. It's weird

When you are awake, you don't think about him sexually because your friendship is important and thinking about him sexually would destroy the boundaries that you have and mess up your friendship.

In dreams these boundaries don't matter.

You are certainly not the only person who dreams about sex with celebrities. I am sure if you pick any random celebrity there will be many people who dream about having sex with them.
