On a lighter note, sex and relationship coach Lucy Rowett says that the stress from the pandemic and lockdown can lead to more sexy dreams...
"Because of the undue stress we've all been under, you may have experienced more intense sexual dreams or dreams that you didn't use to have pre-pandemic" she says "There can be any number of reasons behind our dreams, but try not to worry about the content. Your erotic subconscious is infinite, and can often present scenarios that you'd never think about doing in real life, and that's ok!
"Sometimes dreams can be your subconscious mind's way of processing difficult emotions, while other times they can be a sign of something that isn't being expressed or a need that's not being met" she explains.
Lucy has partnered with FromMars which has surveyed over two thousand UK adults to reveal the most common sex dreams and their meanings...
• 46% of woman have had a dream that their partner has been unfaithful, compared to 33% of men
• Men are more likely to dream about their ex-partner, with 44% admitting to this compared to 38% of women
• Women are more likely to fantasise about celebrities, with 44% having a raunchy dream about someone famous
• 47% of men admit to having a sex dream about one of their colleagues
• 20% of couples have argued with their partner about a sex dream, and 10% have broken up
Here's the meaning of common sex dreams according to FromMars...
Your partner has cheated on you – 'This isn't always about the sex, but could instead be a sign that you're feeling anxious or insecure. Perhaps you feel you're not spending enough quality time with your partner, or are jealous of the time they're spending with someone else.'
You and your partner have broken up – 'This could be a sign that you have reservations about part of your relationship, or feel there's something missing. If you're not in a relationship but having this dream, it could be caused by a fear of abandonment.'
You've been naked in a public place – 'Rather than symbolising a desire to actually be naked in public, this common dream is more likely to relate to feeling embarrassed about something other people may not know, and can reflect feelings of vulnerability or inferiority.'
You've been unable to perform sexually – 'More often than not this sort of dream isn't actually about sex. Dreams about sexual inadequacy can often be tied back to feelings of stress and anxiety and can be a sign you need to let something go.'
You've had a sexual experience involving BDSM – 'Depending on what role you play in the dream, you might be wanting to feel more in control of something, or to give up control entirely. While these feelings can be sexual, they could also be linked to other parts of your life.'
