I had an erotic dream that includes my family. am i into incest?

A few nights ago I had a dream. In that dream me and my entire family were mugged and forced to strip. I felt afraid but also aroused of being exposed to my family and also of watching them getting naked in front of me. Once we were all in the nude the mugger made us stay right in front of each other and tied us together. I got tied with my older brother. Now I've never had interest in anyone in my family, but seeing us in that situation made me very aroused. Is it normal? Am I unknowingly into incest?

    The incest taboo is a human cultural construct; animals don't hesitate to mate with a sibling, a parent or offspring, but human society has deemed this to be wrong, so being sexually attracted to a close relative is forbidden and never spoken of.

    We all like to believe that we humans are a big step up from mere animals, but primitive parts of our brains still retain animal instincts. When we're awake, those are kept under control by our higher brain functions: if you look at your brother across the dining table, you don't see him as a potential mate because you know that having sex with him is socially unacceptable.

    But when we're asleep, our primitive urges can rise to the surface, and we can dream of all sorts of things we'd never consider in real life.

    In our culture, being naked is a signal that something sexual is likely to happen, so it's understandable that you found being tied up to a naked male arousing. It doesn't necessarily mean you have a subconscious urge to have sex with your brother, and nor does it necessarily mean that you're into bondage, although might mean that you have been repressing both those urges. It's probably more likely that you're just feeling horny, and your brother is a male you know well and feel comfortable with.

    If you want to get into the wider symbolism of your dream, maybe the fact that the mugger forced your whole family to get naked suggests that you think you're all hiding aspects of yourselves from each other, and you'd like your family to be more open and honest. Putting aside the fact that you found being tied up to your brother sexually arousing, maybe you just feel the need to be closer to him in non-sexual, socially acceptable way.

    Having said all that, I think the earlier replies make a valid point: dreams are just random shit our brains produce when they can run free, and it's unwise to pay too much attention to them.

    I had a dream I was chewing glass shards and chasing it with bleach. I've never had an appetite for those before. Am I unkowingly into dining on glass and bleach? See?

  • It's just a random dream. Nothing about incest. Don't worry about it, just forget it and continue with your usual life.

    I had a dream that my wife was walking me through a campground full of people, men women and children and she was holding my hand and we were walking but the weird part is I was completely nude!! And I was totally aroused, walking along with a hard-on in front of tons of people I didn't know!! They were all looking at me but not saying or doing anything as if it were perfectly normal to see a nude man walking through the campground with a hard-on. Of course I could play with myself. I just had to walk along and act normal.
