Dreams, especially when they're influenced by OCD, can be extremely triggering. It's normal to feel anxious and uncomfortable after having OCD dreams. I think an important thing to remember is that, just like the OCD thiughts you experience during the day, dreams aren't reflective of your true, authentic self.

Vivid dreams about OCD fears are a common symptom amongst sufferers. The fact that you are distressed by this dream and overthinking whether or not you are pleased by this dream, rather than just being pleased by this dream, means this is OCD and you are not a pedophile. You wouldn’t have to hyper-analyze whether or not you find it pleasing. You just would in the same way you enjoy a delicious slice of cheesy pizza

And possibly overthinking whether or not you are pleased* you didn’t state that you were but I’m trying to cover every angle of my own past experience ?

thank you guys for your replies, truly, every time i get a reply whether it's one i like or not i appreciate it. of course i'm also wondering - what if it wasn't an ocd dream? what if really did pleasure me and i'm just saying it distressed and disgusted me to cover my own tracks because i truly am i horrible person? what if i'm a pedophile who obsesses if they are moral or not? obviously, i know the what ifs don't help, but also, a part of me knows that what ifs are valid because it could be possible, you know? again, thank you so much for commenting

Man, this was me after I had my kid. I was so worried that I was a pedo that it affected my bond with her initially. I was terrified to change her diapers, to bathe her, to breastfeed her, literally anything involving me touching her in ways I deemed “inappropriate” even though I’m her mother and it was my job to do all those things. The thing that helped me most was purposely trying to imagine myself hurting a child sexually. it made me physically ill. The thoughts repulsed me so much that I began second guessing my intrusive thoughts until eventually, I was able to separate them from facts.

So I was on a hat chat gpt and it said that people who are non-offenders experience distress and anxiety and disgust and depression and they feel ashamed of being a non-offender like WHAT like that's honestly terrifying and I'm so scared because that's how I've been feeling like when I'm out I get anxiety too especially when I see a younger person I always been attracted to MEN my whole life can people turn into monsters and I don't even care if they have problems if there attracted to kids then there sick in the head like don't care like this has been sharing me soo much and the worst part about it is that they said some are in denial or suppress their attractions I'm so done...... I can not do this this is too much I would rather be gone from this earth than find out that I might be one like you have to be kidding me if you're attracted to young people and desire that you're sick and dead to me you're a monster I don't care like its disgusting. for this eole some people are suffering from POCD like me are scared to think about that and I'm terrified.

I feel like a really terrible person right now, I keep replaying this, and no matter what I can’t remember what happened, it’s like my brain is purposely not letting me think about it. Without wasting any more time, I’ll get into it. Basically, I was at Walmart, and looking at cards with My Dad, I saw anime ones, took pictures of them for my sister, even ones that were anime kids, because I did my best to ignore it, so I looked at a Hunter x Hunter card, I stared at the black haired kid, being all like “ I’m glad I’m not having any thoughts about this, I’m glad I’m having normal thoughts and not thinking anything” I felt happy, then as soon as I looked at killua (white haired kid), everything collapsed. I don’t know what happened, my brain won’t let me remember. But I’ll give bits and pieces. I think that I had false attraction, and something in my head, said “oh, I wouldn’t mind being attracted.” “He is attractive, and I’m attracted to him.” “I remember a girl thinking he is attractive and he is” “ It’s not wrong to be attracted” “ I don’t care about his age” .. something along the lines of that, and now I’m panicking super hard, because I’m worried if I said those things, I feel like I ruined my life that I’m a pe//do and deserve nothing, idk what to do, I feel terrible… I remember when I was having the intrusive thoughts, I was panicking and was worrying, but it kept playing out, and I kept hearing things talk, it was drawn out too long, that now I feel convinced that I was saying those things, I tested it too, and I can confirm that I didn’t say that, but why am I still not convinced? I know I wouldn’t say those things, I was hoping the complete opposite would happen. My brain kept making me feel like it wasn’t wrong and it was okay. Maybe that’s why I’m so convinced I did that. I’m just spiraling super bad right now, I don’t know what to do or what to think, I don’t know if I said that or not… even if I did test it, I genuinely just feel like I said it, and I wanted it, because I still feel uncertain, I still feel like I said it, part of me just wants to be like oh I did and so I can move on, not because I agree with it, I just don’t know what else to do… I’m really scared.
