Dreams are only that - dreams. As intense as they can seem, sometimes our minds throw together a mismatch of reality and expression/emotion in our sleep. It doesn't determine who we are, and doesn't determine a perverse future. :) Tw: childhood sexual abuse I never told anyone about this, but after I was molested by my "dad", I would keep fantasizing what happened to me. It would lead to dreams of nude or sexual elements of my brother. After a while, with help, that "phase" passed on. As an adult, I get dreams time to time about my "dad", and sometimes there's sex in them in which I "consent" at my adult age. It took me a while to accept that I was not broken for "enjoying" it. While this stems from the abuse in my childhood, I truly and wholeheartedly believe that anyone who deals with these intrusive thoughts and gut-hurling dreams can move past it in however is determined the best way of support (therapy, etc).

Dreams are bits and pieces of the subconscious. That’s not to say that they’re secretly fantasies or that somewhere deep down they’re logical. I’ve had dreams about killing people, hurting the ones I love, and other, weirder stuff. And none of it has trickled into real life, because our dreams /=/ real life. I know it’s shocking to have a dream like that but luckily (for me at least) it fades away over time because, since dreams aren’t real memories, they don’t stick the same way.

im so sorry recently ive been having terrible dreams too :( what helps me is realizing that my thoughts have no meaning, especially in dreams. its just your brain being an ass. you're scared now cause this is actually you, dream you and how "you" felt there was not in your control

I feel like I did something bad now because I went to put the blanket on my brother and my hand was close to his back I had a thought before like “it’s time to touch him” and I stood up and he was on a call but he was sleeping so now I’m like why did I stood up? Was it to take the iPad or what exactly? I feel like a child molester I don’t remember touching his area or butt because I didn’t but I had my hand near his back I asked my brother if I did anything he said no I asked if I did anything when I put the blanket over him he said he was sleeping so that doesn’t reassure me So I almost acted on it?
