Sex in dreams can mean a variety of things. It can simply be a release of built up sexual energy. It can also be wish fulfillment. It can reflect your repressed negative or positive feelings about sex. Or, it could turn out not to be about the sex at all. Sex is one of the most intimate experiences in life. So, it could be that sex in your dream is an expression of intimacy. If your unconscious is trying to focus your attention on a specific relationship in your life, one that is not sexual but is intimate or struggling with intimacy, it may show up as a sex dream. It may be telling you to focus on the intimate (not sexual) aspect of your relationship with that person. Some examples of sex dreams that refer not to sex but to intimacy would be: engaged in sex with a parent, boss, or even with another version of yourself.
