Went through the same thing. I think the dreams aren't "signs" or confirmation, but are rather a way our unconscious is trying to expose to us and make us face our fear at a time we can't escape it cos we're sleeping. Consider them a form of ERP and remember you're not your dreams/thoughts

@Bookworm91 I know it's really tough, especially when you just wake up and are trying to figure out the dream. Try not to linger in bed, the quicker you get up and do something else, the more likely you are to forget the dream so you won't ruminate. If it's in the middle of the night, try watching YouTube videos like Brightside with weird facts to take your mind off. I'm so sorry you have to go through it, I wouldn't wish it on anyone 😔

@Anonymous2020 Yeah me neither. Thankfully I didn’t dream anything so much as started arguing with myself and getting weird responses that don’t line up with who I am right when I woke up. But thanks I’ll try not ruminating anymore

@Bookworm91 Those responses can sometimes be like muscle memory or habit left from the trauma of ocd. Chrissie Hodges on YouTube is very good at explaining and understanding things like that of ocd, and helps make me feel less crazy 🤪

You’re having these dreams because you’re stressing over these topics so much that they’re now in your dreams. Dreams don’t mean anything, even stress dreams.

Yep, had this a couple of days ago. It's so hard to simply acknowledge them and move on with your day when you wake up. You're not alone!

I’m sorry you went through that. It’s not real! I know it feels intense but it’s not real

@🌧☕️ Yeah I’ve been struggling really badly for the past like week or more. Do you ever I was gonna say released but do you ever feel better imagining what you don’t want to imagine and what does that say about me!? I hope not to trigger you but I just kept obsessing about body parts I don’t know if you’ve ever experienced that? Like I make a face like I don’t wanna boys like male stuff and now I act like I do when I don’t like female top or bottom I don’t like the way the top hangs if it’s not supported I’m so sorry I hope I don’t trigger you I’m just so terrified. I posted something earlier I don’t know if this is normal I’m scared I’ve been lying I don’t want my feelings from my guy to go I want him/mental body parts to come back and I can’t stop making faces like I don’t wanna voice like them as opposed to what I’m imagining and then my chest gets really tight and I feel funny like it’s lying like I do I don’t I don’t know I want to feel I don’t want to feel better saying like I when I don’t and I feel worse and I can’t breathe saying that I I don’t understand what it means when I say I don’t feel worse but I don’t actually I can’t breathe I’m so sorry. I’m sorry I can’t stop imagining when I don’t like them I’ve seen shit I made myself look at it years ago so why do I feel worse when I say that I don’t? And why did I say just one I don’t prefer I said the other I can’t stop thinking about when I don’t like the way females stick out in a goddamn I am so so sorry I can’t stop thinking about them like that I don’t like them and I can’t stop saying just I don’t prefer them. I just now almost said can’t stop obsessing about how but I don’t actually like them that’s the whole I said problem it’s not a problem but do you know what I mean? I can’t stop thinking of different shapes and stuff and how I don’t want I don’t wanna do anything but I can’t stop thinking about how they stick out and I can’t stop making faces and I’m scared I don’t want guy parts to go and I don’t want the opposite of guy parts I don’t want anything to do with that is this normal have do you experienced this? I’m so sorry for unloading on you when you already dealing with a lot

I don’t know what to do anymore, this started nearly a year ago and caused so much stress and panic attacks over the thought of loosing my boyfriend. Now it just feels real and that he always liked girls and suppressed it (but like the boys i always liked in the past were real feelings they had to be and with my boyfriend i love him) but i haven’t got much anxiety now feels like i want the thoughts and that they don’t bother me even tho they used to, this seems to happen every time i get a lil better, idk just feels so true and that’s what i acc want with no stress, just a lil scared.

I know people say ocd can manifest in your dreams. I had a semi sexual dream, in that there was a naked woman and I enjoyed the dream so surely that can't be ocd. Idk this shit is annoying.

I feel like this is it
I had a bad rumination spiral yesterday and went to bed hoping I’d start over in the morning. I was wrong. I had dreams about liking women and not being attracted to men anymore and my entire body has been in a state of anxiety since. I genuinely feel like I’m gay and just need to accept it. I have this urge to accept it. Maybe if I do I’ll get some sort of relief because this feeling is awful. I feel like my brain is telling me that I’ll get relief if I just accept it and come out. The intrusive thoughts don’t even seem to be around sexual images anymore, just to come out.
