Sex Dream About Father (Help)

So about a week or so ago I had a sex dream about my father. The dream itself made me want to cut myself because I was disgusted with myself. I didn't because I don't self harm anymore.

Me and my father are close (he's a single parent with me and my sister) and I know that he would never EVER attempt anything of the nature. In fact, every few days he might muster up a hug but that's mostly it and I'm fine with that.

Still, my psychologist said that it was normal for me because I had an unhealthy forced sexual relationship with a family member. I don't know. She may be right but I can't get it out of my headand as such, it's reviving the urge to cut because I'm continuing to feel self loathement.

You can relax and know that Sex dreams are usually not about sex at all.... but more about wanting a deeper relationship with the person you are having sex with in the dream - Your Father in this case.

Or - if you are in a relationship with a man your father could represent the man figure in your life..... but either way both aspects of sex in a dream is about wanting emotional intimacy with someone.

That would make more sense. While I have always been with my father most of my life, there is emotional distance with him. Still, it is hard to bridge the gap.

Just as well, there is a strong longing of just having someone to hold me close at night and whatnot, but 'dating' isn't a concept I am so fimiliar with, but more so niave about.

Yep, I agree with Rhapsody on this one.
(I'd add me two cents but she pretty much covered it)

Even knowing that, I still feel really disgusted with myself. What do I do about that?

Well, I know if I had a sex dream about my dad I'd be disgusted with myself for awhile too. I don't really know what to tell you except every time you feel gross about it to remind yourself that you don't really want that to happen and that the dream was about you wanting a closer relationship with him.

Sorry I'm not more useful

No, it's alright. Thank you very much for your advice.

I used to feel the same way when I was younger and had these type of sex dreams.... but now twenty some years later I have matured past those days and can accept the reality of a dream without letting raw emotions or an old wound interferer.... may you too come into your own place of being with age.

you can't control your unconscious... therefore there is no responsibility and nothing to feel guilty about.
