Some recent sex dreams I've had....

Hello everyone, I am 17, almost 18 year old gay male. I have not told anyone in real life about my sexual orientation.

For the last two nights I've been having dreams of a sexual nature or related to my orientation. This is uncharacteristic for me because I rarely have sex dreams. The thing is, I have not even had actual sex in these dreams yet. I keep getting interrupted or stopped in one way or another.

In a dream two nights ago I am in the car with my parents and a celebrity DC. We stop at a restaurant and my father gets out of the car. Then me and the DC get into foreplay and nearly have sex, but we are interruped by my mother. Later on in the dream we nearly have sex again but the dream abruptly ends.

In last night's dreams I had two strange instances.

In the first dream I am at a fair. I meet a DC who is apparently my friend and also gay. I feel comfortable around him and we have a lot of fun just hanging out.

Then this dream shifts to another gay-themed dream. I meet an attractive young man in a store. We flirt with each other and nearly have sex. But the man intentionally wanders away and I never see him again.

(More detail about these dreams are in the last two posts of my dream journal)

So what does this all mean? Is it about my sexuality specifically or is just my libido...?

I hope it's okay for me to post here, since I'm new?

The first thing that occurs to me upon reading your post is that you state that you haven't told people about your sexual orientation. I believe you are having these dreams because you are suppressing a part of your real self during your waking life. You are subconsciously (and probably consciously) frustrated about having to hide a part of who you are all day long...so it comes out in your dreams.

The reason that you are interrupted when you get to the sex part of the dreams is probably twofold. First, you haven't told anyone that you are gay. So the fact that your mother shows up or something interrupts the sex could be showing your fear of your family finding out or interfering in your life. The other reason could be simply that you are sexually frustrated. If you aren't getting a sexual release during your waking life, then your dreams could be reflecting that frustration. The friend showing up and then the dream where the guy wanders off, could reflect your desire to connect with other people who share your orientation and your fear that they won't accept you. You're probably feeling a little isolated since others don't know your orientation.

Hope this helped.
