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.

Tw: beastility, sexual assault
I'm worried that I sexual assulted or r*ped my dog when I was 17 and I'm 18 now. This memory, has came up multiple and changes rapidly, it says that I was also saying very disturbing things to the dog, calling her good and weird disgusting things like that. I don't know if I can live with myself if this is true.

This felt way too real!!
Why the h•••ll did this happen to me? Seriously, I felt like a normal person yesterday, and now this morning, I feel like I am now a p•••do. When I first woke up, I kept thinking about about the usual things about a kid, only this time it felt real. It was like I was into them sexually and because of that, my private parts growed. Even though I kept saying "no, no ,no" a lot, I felt was only talking to open air and it didn't feel like I meant it God, for the last couple of days, I truly felt normal for once, and against these thoughts. But now I know that I am a p•••do and a piece of s••••it for seeing kids that way. If I could go back before all of this happened, I f••••cking would. Because I KNOW I was never like this before.

Can someone please offer words of advice :(
Why are things so real the first time they’re in my mind and then when I think about it later it’s easier for me to be like wtf?? I was watching a movie earlier and the young girl had developed more in the chest area than the last movie and I felt the desire to check her out so I did. Then later I let myself imagine her having sex and I liked it. But now looking back I’m like ew. The boys in the movie have also developed as the movie went on and I couldn’t help but think that in their real life they’ve probably woken up to boners and s*men and stuff. And looking back it’s just ugh. Idk if it’s sexual relevance but I genuinely let myself indulge in these thoughts and groinal responses and I remember thinking to myself I don’t want to be attracted to little kids and how do I stop myself (everyone has attractive qualities so in younger boys I see man like qualities). Idk I need help. I wouldn’t type this out if I truly believe I was messed up but I’m still scared
