A steamy sex dream can feel like the ultimate indulgence, but a “Fifty Shades of Grey”-style fantasy with, say, your boss doesn’t mean you secretly have a desire to get it on.
Kelly Sullivan Walden, author of “The Love, Sex and Relationship Dream Dictionary” (Fair Winds Press, out now), decodes common dirty dreams.
Your boss
“A boss typically represents authority, and this dream is giving you a sense of your own empowerment,” Walden says. It means you’re looking to “be the boss” in your own life.
A celebrity
A star-studded sex dream shows you’re ready to stand in the spotlight. “You’re meant to do something that may impact the public in a way.”
An ex
“An ex represents an aspect of yourself that you may have been in touch with when you were with that person, that maybe you don’t seem to have right now,” says Walden.
An animal
A sex dream with a cow or horse doesn’t mean you’ve dipped into bestiality — you might just need to unplug. “The modern man and woman has gotten out of touch with [his or her] animal instincts because of technology,” notes Walden.
An alien
Making love to an alien could mean it’s time for you to embrace the quirks that make you unique. “You’re reuniting with a former alien aspect of yourself,” she says. “Let your freak flag fly.”
