SEX: 9 Women Share the Weirdest, Most Random Sex Dreams They've Ever Had

We’ve all woken up from a particularly strange sexual dream and been like, "What the hell just happened? And why?"

Well, some experts suggest that the people you hook up with in your wildest sex dreams (ahem, T-Swift) are just representations of yourself. But others emphasize that those random people, like an ex, a celebrity, or even your BFF are symbols of your unmet needs or desires. (Usually, your dreams don't actually mean you want to do the dirty with a vampire or bang your best friend.) Good to know, right?

With all of that said, it doesn't make those bizarre sex dreams any less weird. Here, we asked women about the kookiest sexcapades they've ever had in dreamland. Behold:

"One time, I had this really weird dream that I was having sex with Mel Gibson. I have no idea why it happened. I don’t think I had recently watched any of his movies and wasn’t thinking about him that day, which made it even weirder to me. The strangest part: He had that Braveheart face paint on." —Daphne C.

 "I left my last job because I hated my boss with a burning passion. He was easily the biggest jerk I’ve ever worked for in my life. A couple of months before I finally found a new job, I had a sex dream featuring him. In the dream, I actually liked hooking up with him in his office. I woke up extremely pissed off at my subconscious." —Jessie A.

 "The weirdest sex dream I’ve ever had was one where I banged my best friend’s husband, who was her fiancé at the time. I want to say I was never in to him like that, but why else would I have had a sex dream about him? I woke up feeling like I’d betrayed my friend, even though I didn't really do anything. I never told her about it, and it never happened again." —Molly V.

"In college, I was visiting a friend at her family’s house for the weekend. While I was there, I had a sex dream about my friend’s dad while I was sleeping in bed with my friend. The dream took place in their kitchen, specifically the kitchen island. I must have made a lot of noise when I woke up because my friend asked what was wrong. I just said I had a bad dream. I still feel weird about this." —Ashlee M.

"I had this recurring set of dreams where I had sex with one of my high school gym teachers. This is weird because I’ve been out of high school for over a decade. Though I did have a crush on him back then, I can’t remember thinking about him much since." —Shannon S.

 "I had a sex dream where I did it with my best friend, who is a woman. I went down on her and she went down on me. There was scissoring, too. I’m not a lesbian or even bi, but I questioned all of this when I woke up in the middle of the night. The next time I saw her though, I was like, 'Nah, not for me.' —Heather S.

 "I just had a sex dream about my high school sweetheart the other day, and we haven’t spoken in years. He’s married with kids now. The weirdest part was that we were back in high school in the sex dream. I freaked out when I woke up because we were 17-year-olds. I'm too old to be attracted to teenagers." —Sandra H.

 "I have these dreams where I’m boning the vampire named Angel from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I doubt that vampire sex dreams are uncommon, but I’ve been having the same sex dream on and off for 15 to 20 years. I used to wake up excited and sad that it was over, but now I wake up and wonder why I keep having the same dream over and over. I haven’t looked into it because I’m worried I’ll learn something about myself that I’d rather not know. Plus, the dreams are kind of nice." —Maya T.

 "I once had a sex dream about Anthony Weiner during one of the few times in recent years he was out of the news cycle for sending creepy pictures to women. I don’t remember too much about the dream, but I remember waking up and being grossed out." —Beth L.
