And you are attracted to older men, so it's not surprising that the men were older. Freud said our desires come out in our dreams.
Perhaps the Catholic priest represents such mixed feelings. They do, alas, have a known history of sexual abuse, too. And Mormons are opposed to sex outside of marriage, too, aren't they?
You want sex; you are appropriately curious about it; Maybe it's sort of magical, scary? But your upbringing and now your personal beliefs tell you sex is not appropriate for you. So, you were running away from the priest and the other men.
Pardon me for asking, but is sex for one (masturbation) considered wrong by you, too? I think you do need some way to take care of your healthy, normal needs.
Of course, therapy can help us. If you keep having such dreams and they upset you, then I would suggest therapy for you.

Oh, I wasn't raised religiously. I was never Christened, I just live with my dad's side of the family who are all Mormon (except for him).
The weird thing is though, is that my mom never wanted me to get involved with anything sexual, and would always forbid me to speak about. She would keep that to herself, and yet she was REALLY big on that when it came to spend time with her boyfriend (so much irony and hypocrisy right there).
So I was the one who decided to secretly go onto porn sites and explore what had been hidden from me.
From then on my eyes were opened to a world of lust and desire.
I masturbate a majority of the time, but not as much as before my last nervous break down.
And you know what I was told by a demon? "Embrace the sin! BE THE SINNER!!!"
As for the priest, I was very uncomfortable him trying to touch me.
The other, I felt as if it were someone I knew, so I was okay with it.
