Have you ever had a cheating dream?

...one in which you cheat on your husband?  (Not just a sex dream, but a cheating dream.)  I had one last night and I woke up feeling horribly guilty.  It's an hour later and I still feel awful.  I know it was just a dream, but I can't shake the guilt.  :(

Re: Have you ever had a cheating dream?

  • I have, but I have dreams of DH cheating on me more often. It's crazy how real the emotions that we feel in dreams seem to be.

  • Not me cheating, but DH cheating.  I have dreams about him cheating several times and I wake up so angry.

    Was it with a specific person? 

    My dream wasn't with anyone I know, but I have had one dream before when it was someone IRL.

  • I have these dreams, both him cheating on me and me cheating on him.  I chalk it up to us being apart so much.  Sometimes it is cheating w/ someone I dated in the past, sometimes someone unfamiliar to me.  It is amazing how dreams have a hold when you wake up and can't let it go...that guilty feeling.  Then I talk to DH and it fades away.

  • I've had them where DH cheated or I cheated.  The guys I cheated with were usually exes who I dated in HS.

  • Yes, I have all kinds of crazy dreams of things that I would NEVER do in real life.  Sometimes nasty stuff.

    I do occasionally wake up made at DH about a dream and I have to remind myself he is innocent, lol.

    I had a DH cheating dream just last night. I woke him up and he convinced me it was just a dream, which is always sweet. I love that he's more upset that I'm upset than upset that I woke him. I've also had cheating on DH dreams, but those fade a lot quicker for me. I've never dreamt of cheating with someone I knew IRL, which might help. Most of me cheating dreams also include adventures so I focus on the adventure instead of the cheating. While DH cheating dreams focus exclusively on him cheating. Last night's dream was particularly disturbing because the dream drama played out in front of my dream family and cause my dream mom to lose respect for my dream DH.

    My question is if anyone becomes a little shaken by their dreams. Like: "is my subconscious trying to tell me something?" etc.

  • I have the weirdest dreams all the time, lol, though most of the time they are more like stories that are bizarre, but could almost be within the realm of reality.  And what is even worse is I often remember them along with lots of details.

    My DH jokes that I should become a novelist or a screenwriter and make a fortune just polishing up my crazy story dreams, lol.

    But, to answer the question, I had a cheating dream once about someone I knew IRL.  He is married also and both my DH and I know the other couple.  It wasn't a sex dream (thank goodness) but, in the dream, he and I kept secretly meeting for lunch and plotting how we could continue our affair without our spouses finding out.  It was so disconcerting and creepy!  Even more so because I have no attraction for this guy IRL, I'm sure that feeling is mutual, and we have never even remotely flirted.

    When I was younger, I had a cheating dream on my b/f at the time.  This one was way off the deep end and could be one of my "movie script" dreams, lol.  I was having an affair with the PM of England.  He didn't look like the actual PM of England, apparently just a face I made up.  However, the dream was more about that our affair had just been discovered and was a big international incident.  I instantly went from "ordinary person" to my face plastered on the front page of newspapers all over the world.

  • Where do all these old posts come from?  This post is from 6.5 years ago!   Did someone really just search for "cheating dreams" and resurrect this??

    Thanks, Joan - I was wondering the same thing...
