Question: What if you were married, then...

...you dreamed somebody else in your dream. Would you feel guilty about cheating on your partner upon waking up? I am sure it happens in the real world and curious about what would you feel about it. Cheating is one of the reasons why couples separate ways for real. What's your opinion about it? Have you experienced dreams like this? Image Credit: assets.newatlas.com

I don't see such dreams. I dont think it's cheating. Just seeing someone in dreams cannot be called cheating.

@Shavkat I won't mind it as a dream is a dream, not real

@sjvg1976 It can also have the opposite meaning as claimed by others.

What if that dream is so intimate in nature? I guess it does not happen to all of us then.

I'm not sure what you're asking, exactly. Are you saying, if I drempt I was married to a man that isn't my husband, would I feel it was cheeting? If that was the question. Then no. We often can't control what we dream about. And, it's healthy and normal to have dreams of different people, things events. Rarely-if-ever do my dreams contain my current husband. However, while I'll agree cheeting in general is wrong, sometimes it's unavoidable. People tend to get married believing that that relationship will last until the end of their lives. And, for some couples that's true. For others, marriage may not have been a mistake at the time, but people's feelings can and do change.

Yes, I am referring to what you'd said. I do think it is impossible to control our dreams with someone despite being married in the real world. Some might dream being with someone and eventually, it could lead to cut the relationship for good through divorcing him or her.

@Shavkat I've never had a dream of cheating, or at least, I wasn't the one cheating. But either way, it's just a dream and the cheating isn't really taking place. In real life, I would never do it.

As they said, dreams are always the opposite meanings.

@Shavkat I've never heard that one before. Interesting.

I don't think it's wrong to have someone in your dreams. One doesn't have control over dreams. I won't feel guilty at all

I do agree that we can't control this. We shouldn't feel guilty.

dreams are simply dreams, there is nothing in or about dreams that are real. so, if you dreamed about another, does that change your love for your wife?

You have a point. What if a person does not love his or her partner anymore and dreams to cut the tie?

@Shavkat then we move into the physical reality - we would then likely dream of severing the connection easily. it is a different question you've asked now.

No, I wouldn't feel guilty about it. But I probably wouldn't discuss it with my partner.

That's a good idea. It's not a good thing to tell about it to one's partner. It will be a big fuss.

It was just a weird thinking about dreaming somebody else despite being in an intimate relationship with someone.

I have sleeping problem and hardly dream. Sometimes I sleep like a log let alone dreaming. Even if you dream someone, I think, it has nothing to do with other person. It is not equivalent to cheating.

I hope I can be like you sleeping. I usually wake up even with a simple noise here. Indeed, there is nothing wrong as long as it is not done in the real world.
