'WHENEVER I WANT YOU, ALL I HAVE TO DO IS DREAM'

I'm sure that many if not most of you are not familiar with the lyrics I used from am old 1950's Everly Brothers song for my title, but it sure came to my mind when I read this article on wet dreams. I find the article interesting so I'm going to share it with my readers.


Question: have you ever experienced an orgasm from a dream?

My answer: No. Unfortunately not in years, but I have in the past. Now days some kind of sub-conscious censor has implanted himself in my psyche. I can start a sexy dream but just before I get to the really good part a curtain falls as if someone said you're not allowed to go there. At this point I wake up disappointed and frustrated.




The following is a an article from the AOL Love and Dating pages.

The Latest in Love & Dating News:
Fun Facts About Sex Dreams

Posted: 2007-08-23 14:02:57

Chances are, you had a sex dream this week. Fully eight percent of
our dreams involve sexual situations, according to a new study from
psychologists at the University of Montreal in Canada.

Interestingly, women have just as many sex dreams as men, with one
important difference: Men are far more likely to have fantasies about
sex with imaginary people, while women dream about current or past
sexual partners, as well as celebrities, reports HealthDay News.

"Men used to report many more sex dreams, twice as many as women and we don't find that difference anymore," study author Antonio Zadra, an associate professor of psychology at the University of Montreal, explained to HealthDay News. "Either women are having them more, or they're more likely to report them. Either way, it's interesting. "



Even though sex dreams are very common, psychologists haven't paid much attention to them. For this study, the team asked 109 women and 64 men ages 20 to 89, all of whom responded to an ad about the research project, to keep a diary of their dreams for as long as one month. The total number of dreams exceeded 3,500.





What do we dream about?



-- The most common sex dream involved sexual intercourse, followed by flirting, kissing, fantasies and masturbation.



-- Four percent of sex dreams among men and women resulted in an orgasm.



-- 18 percent of women's sex dreams involved unwanted sex, compared with just five percent of men.



-- Nine percent of sex dreams among women and five percent among men involved fantasies about celebrities.



-- Men were far more likely to dream about having sex with more than one person.



-- Four percent of women's dreams featured a partner having an
orgasm. None of the men reported this dream.



Zadra explained that if you dream about something, it probably
occupies your waking thoughts as well. "If the sex dreams tend to
involve unknown or fantasy characters, it is probably a reflection of
your waking state, that your desires and fantasies are with
strangers," he told HealthDay News.



The study findings were reported at the annual meeting of the
Associated Professional Sleep Societies in Minneapolis, Minn.



According to this study, an average of eight percent of our dreams involve sex. Do you have such dreams? If you're one of the lucky ones, is it always the same or is it different each time? Do these dreams leave you hanging like me or do they sometimes bring you to orgasm? If you're willing to tell us, we'd love to hear about them?



Next month I'll discuss sexual fantasies and your partner.

Wet Dreams!! As C A always says...
Woot!

Haven't had one of those lately, but man they are something else. I always wake up and think, "who's there?" Somebody touched me! lol

It's amazing that your mind can have such a powerful affect. Truly amazing.

I thought it was interesting that some of those men didn't report that their partners didn't experience orgasm during the dream. Just like a man! lol

I thought that comment about women and unwanted sex was interesting too. I'd really like to know more about that. Was it referring to the "RAPE FANTASY", or just a woman having a bad day and having to be talked into it?

Another great blog, Dee.

I usually do not remember my dreams. There is one however that I had years upon years ago that I still remember rather well. It was a very erotic dream involving me and... um... Keanu Reeves. *LOL*

Carpe Noctem,

Wendi said...

Interesting stuff, Dee! I do have sexy dreams a lot. Unfortunately, as soon as I wake up most of the details are lost. I just feel all tingly. :D Sometimes I can remember bits and pieces, but usually not.

Cool topic Dee!

Nope, never had an orgasm during sleep, but plenty of erotic and sexy dreams. I almost always wake up before the 'big bang' theory and then my poor hubby has to go without sleep for awhile. ;)

Gotta love a man who doesn't complain when his wife climbs all over him in the middle of the night.

Sometimes I remember details, sometimes it gets fuzzy after I wake up. I don't think I've ever had an orgasm from a dream but I've come close a time or two. Interestingly enough, most of the guys in my dreams end up being celebrities and the girls are people I know.

Though I did have one recently that involved me in an elevator with Keanu Reeves and two other nameless guys. It was all part of some spy movie of some sort.

Hi Tess,

Glad you liked the blog. Sex dreams are an interesting phenomenon. As I said, I feel a little left out. I rarely have them and when I do my fairy god father stops them in their tracks.

I too wondered about the unwanted sex. It would be interesting to know more.

Thanks for writing, Dee

Dee Dawning said...

Hi Des,

You and Keanu. Sounds hot. Bet you wished you could have that dream again. LOL

Dee

Dee Dawning said...

Hi Wendi...Darlin,

It hasn't happened to me in many years, but if I had a wet dream, remembered or not, there was evidence. Sticky evidence. LOL

Dee

Dee Dawning said...

Hi Cassidy,

Definitely funny. Good thing hubby has a good sense of duty.

I assume you would reciprocate if the situation were reversed?

Dee

Dee Dawning said...

Hi Leah, That's what the article said, Women tend to have dreams with celebrities and acquaintances.

"Though I did have one recently that involved me in an elevator with Keanu Reeves and two other nameless guys. It was all part of some spy movie of some sort."

You and Des seem to have a thing for Keanu. LOL

Ashlyn Chase said...

Very interesting findings! I wish I could remember those dreams. I remember very few, but the ones that stick are often with past boyfriends who weren't lovers. Maybe I'm completing unfinished business?

Savannah Chase said...

Nice blog....

I don't always remember the good dreams....Wish I did...

Isn't it when you have the good dreams you get woken up????

DeeSKnight said...

Hey, Dee. Great blog!

I've had sexual dreams and almost always with my husband. Does that make me boring??

Dee Dawning said...

Hi Ashlyn,

Does sound like unfinished business or dare I say it/ Regret!

Thanks for the comment

Dee

Dee Dawning said...

Hi Savannah,

I always get woke up too. Bummer!

Thanks for dropping by.

Dee Dawning said...

Hi Dee S.

You could look at it as you being either monotonous or monogamous. LOL

Thanks for stopping by,

Dee D.

Shiela Stewart said...

I always remember my dreams, though it's been a while since I had a wet one but when I do, my hubby is always there to finish the job. :)
But I must confess, I rarely dream of my hubby as the partner. Celebs: some times, Anonomous: very often.
Orlando Bloom and Johnny Depp come to mind. ***drool*** LOL

Dee Dawning said...

Hi Shiela,

LOL. Another celebrity dreamer. Just like the article said.

Of course, anonymous lovers were a male trait.

Thanks for the input and may all your dreams be SEXY.
