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.

I had an awful intrusive thought/half-dream (I was in the weird place between awake and sleeping lol.) and it actually started off fine but then my brain said “this is a child” and I literally panicked. I was kind of aroused when it started and I feel so guilty about it. I know the body responds to what is “sexually relevant” but it’s such a scary, awful, disgusting feeling, I feel like a terrible person for having this come into my head. Like I secretly want it

POCD
Yesterday I was helping a child change and I was touching their skin for some reason (helping them pull up their pants or something) and then I was like “wow their skin is so soft and then I had a bad thought and then backed away. I’m really scared I am I p*do pile and did I touch them inappropriately?? I don’t want that answer to be yes or else I’m gonna throw up. I feel like I should’ve backed away when I was touching their skin soft but it felt like I was in slow motion. I’m so scared.

POCD i need help- TW: sexual
I was ruminating, even though I shouldn’t be. I remembered another time when I had the weird feeling I can’t explain. It was two years back when I was playing a game on my phone and a weird ad came up for another game. The ad basically had a girl who farted and felt embarrassed. It was a cartoon. I got a similar feeling. I started panicking that I had a fetish for farting or something. I remembered that there was a video I watched on porn in the past where a girl queefed during sex and I was turned on because it was probably embarrassing. Anyways, when I saw that ad It reminded me of this porn video. Since I got the similar weird/adrenaline feeling when seeing videos of kids uncomfortable, I am afraid that it really is sexual.
