Is it normal to dream about men in a s*xual way while not being gay?
(posting on an new alt because ♥♥♥♥ that, I'm not leaving this on my main account for some employer 10 years from now to find)

So I've been having these weird dreams lately about Jeff Hardy and Chris Benoit, but the weird thing is, I'm not gay. I've never been gay.

Is this normal? Or do I have to start worrying about some mental trauma or maybe just plain being gay?

having intrusive thoughts are tough, alright?
Also true.
Sometimes brain just wonders what would have been.
Yep, that's called imagination and empathy, added with the spice of the "interdit". Anyways, dafuk am i reading today ? xD
You do you, and you're human, more or less at least i guess.
Man is a rope, tied between beast and overman--a rope over an abyss. A dangerous across, a dangerous on-the-way, a dangerous looking-back, a dangerous shuddering and stopping. What is great in man is that he is a bridge and not an end: what can be loved in man is that he is an overture and a going under. I love those who do not know how to live, for they are those who cross over.
Friedrich Nietzsche, "Thus Spoke Zarathustra", Datalinks
=> yes, i very much like that quote, fight me - but not today, because that's enought internet for me RN.

OP, no you're not gay, and i dont care about you so you should stop caring about the view of others : if you wanna be gay, be it, you dont, dont be. And sleep well xD

Why are so worried and ashamed about it? :steambored:

Also, you could be bi 👁️👄👁️
Doubt he's ashamed about it, most likely just wondering.

I know if I dreamt of nsfw dreams about Benoit and Jeff Hardy I'd be wondering what went wrong with my life. I wouldn't go screaming that it happened to me all over Steam, though, but to each his own.

I never thought that something was wrong with my life just becuase I like ppl from the same sex 🤷‍♀️

It is true that it made question stuff but the dreams were never 🥵🥵, but rather more romantic and I personally did not give it that much importance or being worried about it 🤔

Wasn't implying that at all, lol.

Was just saying if I ended up dreaming about a child murderer and a drug addict loving me, running to tell everyone on Steam would be the furthest from my mind.
The brain works in strange ways once asleep, typically anything can and will happen once your asleep, its just that sometimes the context of some dreams is enough to be recalled but not the entire dream itself.

Normal does not apply to dreams because dreams are not normal to start with, thats kinda the entire thing with them that dreams or even nightmares have no form of what is normal or not normal.

One day when your older you'll eventually have basically involved your own body in every possible sexual situation possible by man and then it will invent even more on the fly because thats just how dreams...I guess, work. Its normal for dreams to do this stuff yes, but if you mean if its normal for these dreams to happen in regards to your sexuality then also yes, sometimes things your not attracted to will take place in your dreams and thats rather normal.
I wouldn't worry too much

I've dreamt that I've been shot three times, that I've shot other people twice, and I haven't even held a real gun, or been near near, so yea....

i do too 🥵🥵🥵
I dream about men and women, it's okay.

You're probably bisexual, but you prefer women rather than men.

Dreams don't have to indicate anything at all other than your brain flushing out garbage... They can, but don't "have to"be significant.

But, being faced with an alarming/strange/remarkable dream can make one a bit obsessed by it, since it's a "psuedo-experience" after all. And, that can prompt occurrences or similar dreams.

So, you can basically have a strange dream that greatly troubles you and keep thinking so much about it that you end up perpetuating it yourself, with no value or other indication that something is amiss other than your obsession.

If you are not sexually aroused by the same sex when waking, but sometimes have such dreams, it doesn't mean you're "gay."

That you mention specific characters, not "real people you have met and interact with regularly" tells me one of two things:

You're making it up. :)

Or, you've attached some specific interpretation on these characters you've seen in movies/TV and you may want to explore what those people, "as seen on television," and their characters represent to you or that you find yourself responding to on a deep level. Something "triggered" here and you need to explore that in thought rather than the specific persons. (IOW: It is normal to have an intrusive aberrant sexual thought. That's not unusual. Your reaction to being hit with that sort of intrusive, natural, experience may be unusual, though. That's what you need to think through.)


Personally, I think you're making it up. :)

But yeah, as I have stated before, in all seriousness, I have literally never felt attracted to any other men.

This is what makes this pretty serious. Am I actually gay? Is it mental trauma I pushed down? Is my brain just bored as hell while asleep?

OK, left the above "as is."

But, if you have not been sexually attracted to the same sex while awake then you are not "gay." It's that simple. One isn't "turned ♥♥♥♥" just by RNG and an aberrant thought or dream. Unless, of course, you obsess over it and then are so intrigued by it that you pursue reinforcing it and stimulating yourself by purposefully pairing repeated sexual thoughts with this newfound obsession of your dream... Even then, I'd think that extremely, if not impossible, to do. But, then again, younger persons seem to be very open to sexually identifying as kitchen utensils, these days, so wtf do I know?

But, you can be traumatized by a dream. At least, in the short term and especially when you have reoccurring nightmares and the like. But, this isn't a nightmare, it's just a very strong sexual dream.. And, honestly, that would be very strange for one to have repeated, reoccurring, sexual dreams about the same two people that you don't know at all except through a video screen. (Which is why I thought you were making it up.)

The best non-professional advice is - Don't think about it and just move on, accepting that RNG happens. Do NOT obsess over it before going to sleep. Read a great book or something, instead. (A real one - Shut your phone/tablet off and grab paper.)

If you can't get over this and continue having these dreams, contact your physician.

To be completely fair to OP, they could be a minor having a crush on (partially) fictional characters, would also explain why they didn't know about Benoit's murders but did know who he was.

I knew a few people the same way when I was in middle/high school.

Or he's just making it up for shock value. This is the internet, after all. People make up weird ♥♥♥♥ all the time.

No, it is not.
Watch less porn and/or do less drugs.
