I have dreams about old crushes and exes, too. It’s a really normal thing to do. Sometimes, when I first wake up I feel guilty, but that passes when I remind myself that everyone has these dreams.
I had a friend once who got mad at me and her boyfriend because she had a dream that we were having an affair behind her back. That was awkward and unfair. She kept insisting we apologize and make it up to her, and we were like, “But we didn’t do anything? It was a dream???” And she said it was real to her, and got mad that we weren’t taking it seriously.
We could have been more sensitive to the fact that she was clearly upset, but we were dumb teenagers and just got mad about it. For the record, we never cheated and never would have. Once, many years later, we were both single and tried making out just to see if we were missing anything. We ended up stopping because we were laughing hysterically about it, and found the whole experience mildly icky. I don’t think there have ever been two people less attracted to each other than us.

That phrasing has me worried. Do you have a school counselor or trusted adult you can talk to in your life?

Yeah, my support system. They’ve helped me a lot. Though they might send me to the hospital if I show them my cuts

They hospital is sometimes the best place to be. And the pediatric hospital especially is pretty nice, at least where I live.

The other day I saw my high school crush and we had the best sex, so romantic, even though in my wakeful state I don’t like sex or romance

I called out another man’s name once when I was half asleep. I have no idea why. I think my husband must have been asleep when I did bc he never questioned me about it.

@John_Raven I take Prazosin for ptsd or nightmares. It helps.
