I have pocd and I woke up from a bad dream I think it involved me trying to kiss a younger boy or something (im not the best at remembering dreams) I feel so awful, feel like the worst person in the world for it

Most of us have had strange dreams. One time I had a dream where I married Cameron Boyce. Does that mean I married Cameron Boyce in real life ? sometimes intrusive thoughts pop up in our dreams. I struggle with soocd and once had a dream where I was having lesbian sex with a friend from 8th grade. In the middle of the dream, I walked away from it and said “no thanks.” I woke up and this dream disturbed me, and I kept overthinking it. I did erp and the thought of that dream still burdens me sometimes, but we both have the ability to push through. Our dreams can be intrusive as well!

I think it’s normal. I’ve had dreams where I wake up super guilty but it’s just a dream. We don’t create our dreams. They’re involuntary. You’ll forget about it

I used to have terrible dreams like this too! Vivid dreams where I could see and react to what I was doing and even comment on it like I was in the sunken place. I would be like “stop no I don’t wanna do that” and then watch myself harm other people, it never feels good. But it’s just a dream. I’m also sober and in recovery relapse dreams are super common. They don’t mean much but they are very scary and often time when I have a relapse dream or an “ocdream” (I should copyright that) it’s clear that I’m dreaming about it because I’m subconsciously afraid of it happening, not because I want to do it.

Yeah I just get super anxious because I have a girlfriend, I think it affects our relationship, this dream then affects my relationship ocd about cheating and makes me feel like a cheater, but I’m gonna try and move on from it
