Hello all,
I have been hovering for some time now and finally decided I will ask for some help.
For over a year now, I have been having a recurring dream that comes in conjunction with being sexually intimate with my wife. The circumstances of the dreams always vary, but in one way or another she is always sexually involved with other men. Sometimes she engages in these acts willingly, sometimes she is forced by the other characters in the dream. Every time the dream is horrible and I wake up afraid and angry.
Other information that may be helpful:
My wife and I have known each other since middle school. We have been married 10 years and have 3 children. We have always been very much in love and had a very sexually active relationship. There was a period of about 3 years in our late teens/early 20s when we were not together and were involved with other people. I have never been unfaithful to her, nor do I believe she has to me.
It is probably also important to note that these dreams started shortly after I began a far more spiritual path in my life.
I have refrained from sexual activity as of late, as it seems to be the only way I'm currently capable of controlling the dreams. If I remain abstinent the dreams do not come but with sex they always return. Sometimes if I think a great deal about sex I will have a similar dream, even with no physical act.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
