Dreaming of my Professor, Literally.

Question - (15 May 2010) 5 Answers - (Newest, 15 May 2010)
A age 30-35, anonymous writes:

Alright let me begin by saying I do not have a crush on my teacher. I'm not in love with my teacher either. Heres the thing.

I have a boyfriend who I've dated for almost two years, love him to death.

I have a teacher who I've had for a year now. He's a young teacher, maybe at most 15 years older than I am.

I don't want a relationship with my teacher. I'm quite happy with my boyfriend.

The problem is, I keep having romantic dreams about my teacher and it's making me mad at this point.

I've had three dreams about this man. All very romantic. One was rather erotic involving a shower. The other two we kissed in each of them.

The first time I had my dream, I wasn't supposed to have this teacher in class for a few days and I was glad I'd be able to deal with the dream by them. In the dream my teacher was wearing this long coat. The day after this dream I'm walking to a class and my teacher comes around the corner in the same freaking coat from my dream. I about have a heartattack.

So I don't know why but these dreams are driving me crazy. I keep obsessing over my teacher. The sad thing is he has very similar characteristics to my boyfriend. They both will do the same hand motion, things like that.

Then to make matters worse, my boyfriend has this same teacher, my boyfriend starts saying a phrase my teacher says all the time.

I told my boyfriend about my dreams and he thought it was funny (he's not the jealous type). Then my bf started doing characteristics from our teacher on purpose to tease me. Well he did this alot right before he'd kiss me. Which made me feel odd considering I was kissing my bf and thinking about my teacher.

Now it's summer time and I'm... missing... my teacher. I think this is a bit unhealthy. You've no idea how many google searchs I've done on this mans name. I don't really know what wrong with me.

I love my boyfriend. I don't want a relationship, something plausible with my young single dorky professor, with my teacher. But I've very annoyed at this point. I have this mans class next semester WITH my boyfriend this time and I'm a bit worried I might be obssesing over this man.

I'm very very annoyed with my dreams.

bruce lee agony auntNo, it is not normal. Does that answer one of your questions? It would be normal to dream about him once or twice but not more than that.

To stop these dreams from interfering with your focus during class, you have to try hard to stop thinking about him. Do something to put other ideas in your head. Watch a movie, start writing a book, or play a game of chess with your boyfriend and talk about something else.

Yes, it is unhealthy if you keep thinking this way. So, you must stop it. Good luck.

Sounds a bit like infatuation to me.

You may not want to realise that you are attracted to this man. The fact that you have dreamt about him in a sexual manner indicates that somewhere deep inside you there is a part that is interested in this man sexually. Maybe you should change your class?

This is verified as being by the original poster of the question

I think telling my professor that I've been dreaming sexualy about him would be a bad idea.

Also I don't think my boyfriend would really like that.

My question was, is this normal to dream about your teacher like this while having a boyfriend? What can I do to ignore these dreams from interfering with my focus during class? These dreams are really bothering me.

I keep playing out these weird scenarios in my head where I dump my boyfriend for my professor (something I'm obviosuly not going to do). Or just go up and kiss the man. Just random daydreaming during class time. I'm a bit worried this is unhealthy???? Does it seem that way???

bruce lee agony auntI am not sure what you should do here. But it might be best if you play it safe, and just let these thoughts pass. Thoughts are just thoughts. They don't define a person. Actions define a person. That's the way you've got to look at it.

Eventually, you will forget about this teacher/professor.

Just read a book and your mind will change its thought patterns.

ChristineAvril agony auntWeird about the coat!

Anything else predicted in your dreams?

Not sure what the question is here. Could it be that, despite your protestations, you really are in love with/crushed on him?

I think it would be fun to see his reaction if you tell him about your dream with him and that coat, assuming that you had never seen him in it before the dream?

Tell us about it, if you do!
