Hey everyone,
So this morning I woke up after a horrible nightmare. I don't really remember every detail but I'm going to try to explain it as best as I can. I was at one of my schools basketball games and was just sitting in the bleachers when a girl who looked like Mel B from the Spice Girls showed up. Suddenly I got this feeling in my stomach like I do when I see a guy I like. After this happened I woke up and I was terrified however I still had that feeling in my stomach. I immediately freaked out and felt very helpless. I kept repeating "I'm not gay, I'm not gay" (which is one of my compulsions) but it didn't seem to calm me down. My brain just kept telling me that I was gay, kicking me while I was down. I have never experienced this before so is it normal to have gay dreams? I've also been told that our dreams have meaning, so with that in mind what does this dream mean? (If anything).
Thanks-
snowbud

Dream interpretation is a tricky thing, although everyone and they brother seems to think they have a handle on it. So, I'm going to stay away form that.
But I can say that many of the obsessions I have had, have leaked into my dreams. So this is not unusual in my experience. I don't think it is a Gay dream so much as it happens to be what yo uare worrying about, so it ends up as part your unconscious expression.

A number of my Pure-O obsessions leaked into my dreams. Think nothing of it. Some of them were pretty horrifying, but that kind of dream is just the OCD tormenting you.
