Are "wet dreams" sinful?

[JamesG]

If you dream about having sex with a woman out of love and in a manner that does not close the act to the gift of life then you have mastered your body and your sprit.

If you dream about having sex with several women for the sake of pleasure then you must work on your faith and through that learn how to master your body.

When you wake up from having a dream that is focused on loving a woman that is totally open to the gift of life you will feel good inside.

The truth is dreams are fashioned from what is truly in our hearts and minds. There is always resident evil in the back of our minds and to keep it a bay we must always work on our inner strength.

In order to accomplish this you must learn to have more self control over your body. At the same time you must direct your urges toward thoughts of love and sex in a manner that is right in the eyes of God. Focus your mind through prayer as well.

The most effective way to master the urges of your body is through fasting. When you feel hungry you can pray. When you do this you will learn to conquer your body and it will give you a great feeling of confidence. Fasting can help you to become more of a man. Hunger is a stronger urge then sex. If you can conquer that you can conquer sexual urges.

This is the wisdom that Jesus gave us when he fasted. He must of known that it would be hard for him to deal with the urges of the flesh. This is why Christ first mastered his body so that he could give it up for us all.

So the question is really, is it wrong to let myself be overcome sinful thoughts? An impure wet dream is an indication of this. It is a message to you that you have not mastered your body.

The body is only mastered by the spirt that controls it

 

[JamesG]

Dreams are dreams. Crazy things go on in them, and it’s as simple as that! Don’t give them another thought.

And don’t forget that God created our sexuality, including all the messy stuff, and he’s not shocked by it. He’s the one that “invented” it, after all. It was His idea. Including wet dreams. So when they happen, remember that it’s the way God made you.

Dreams are not crazy things they are very real messages about your inner self. We should also consider what a dream means to us when we wake up.

In some cases dreams can help you come to terms with inner conflicts that must be resolved in our lives. They are a gift from God for this very reason.

I reject any notion that dreams are allways crazy and stupid.
It is our failures that cause impure dreams to happen.

 

[Jobis]

Is it a bad idea to receive communion if one has had a wet dream that week?

Is it something to go to confession for?

I find it difficult to see how erotic dreams cannot be at least partially sinful because didn’t Christ say that if you have lustful thoughts about a woman you have committed adultery with her in your heart?
