Sexy dreams have their perks, like getting laid without lifting a finger (kind of), but they can also help us explore our sexual desires and inspire fantasies to act out with a partner, sexologist Jess O’Reilly says.
If you’re ready to start having more erotic dreams, try these tips: 1. Keep a dream journal.
1. Get in the right mood.
Whether you’re looking to have more sexy dreams or would just like to see what they are all about, it is important that you get yourself in the right mood. One way to do this is by reducing your stress levels. Stress can cause many physical and mental problems, including a lack of sexual desire.
You can try a number of things to help lower your stress levels, such as yoga, meditation, and exercise. You should also focus on eating healthy foods and avoiding caffeine and alcohol before going to sleep. You can also try a number of techniques to increase your sexual arousal, such as orgasmic meditation or masturbation before bed.
Another way to get in the right mood is by imagining a sexy scene or scenario. This can be done through visualization or by engaging your senses, such as smelling and tasting certain foods. It is also important to be aware of your body, and pay attention to how it moves when you walk or talk. These subtle movements can affect the way you look, and therefore your sexual arousal.
You can also use lucid dreaming to induce sexy dreams. Lucid dreaming is a state of awareness that occurs during sleep, and it allows you to control the content of your dreams. You can do this by focusing on your breath and visualizing the scenes in your head before you go to sleep.
2. Think about what you want to do.
Sexual dreams can be a wonderful way to explore your feelings, fantasies, and kinks in a safe and private environment. They can help to relax you, reduce stress, and even increase sex drive in real life.
Whether you’re a sexy movie junkie or someone who prefers to get intimate with a good book, it doesn’t take much to stimulate your imagination and encourage dreaming. Reading a sexy novel, listening to sensual music, trading sexy pictures or videos, and even a little sexting can all be a great way to pregame for your sleep and hopefully have some steamy dreams.
Another great way to promote sexy dreams is through lucid dreaming. This is a type of dreaming where you become aware that you’re in a dream and can control elements within it. Lucid dreaming can be achieved by focusing your attention on the details of your dream and trying to make it as vivid and realistic as possible.
For example, if you’re dreaming about a particular person, try to visualize them as clearly as you can. This is not always easy, but it will be well worth the effort in the end. You’ll be able to experience the thrill of being with your favorite celebrity (or anyone else for that matter) in a dream and you may even come away feeling more kinky in the process.
3. Make it happen in your mind.
The more you visualize what you want, the more likely it is to happen in your dreams. It’s a simple trick, and it can have some pretty steamy results. Try imagining yourself with someone you want to be with, or even touching specific parts of your body like your nipples to heighten your arousal before bed. It might feel a bit weird at first, but your brain knows what you’re trying to do, so it will do everything in its power to make that dream come true.
Another way to increase your chances of having a sexy dream is by practicing lucid dreaming. This is a state of dreaming where you are aware that you’re actually sleeping, and it can give you control over the contents of your dream. It takes some practice, but it’s not impossible to master, as many people report that they have lucid dreams on a regular basis.
It’s also important to avoid stress while you’re trying to get into a sexy mood, as it can interfere with your ability to dream. Some people find that stress can trigger arousal in the same way as sex, so it’s a good idea to try some creative ways to de-stress before you go to sleep. This could include calming exercises, a bath, or listening to sensual music before you lay down to sleep.
4. Don’t be afraid to ask for more.
There are some obvious perks to having more erotic dreams, like getting laid without lifting a finger (kind of). But dreaming sensual can also help you lower your stress levels and feel calm when you wake up. It can also give you more insight into your sexual desires and inspire fantasies that you can act out later, says sexologist Jess O’Reilly.
One of the best ways to increase your chances of having a sexy dream is by practising lucid dreaming. This is a technique that involves becoming aware that you are dreaming and then being able to control elements of your dream, like the setting and who you are with. It takes practice, but it is definitely worth the effort.
Remember, though, that your sex dreams might not actually be about sex. Instead, they may be trying to tell you something else—like that you need to focus on your relationships and take some time for yourself. So don’t take them too literally, and just enjoy your steamy dreams. You deserve it.
