How accurate are dreams?

    In real life I'm rarely attracted to anyone. In dreams I get attracted to people more often. I've even been attracted to guys a few times in dreams. Does this reflect my real life preferences?

    In my dreams I have hanged out with ISIS terrorists and planned blowing up Hindu temple. Does that reflect my real world desires?

    Sometimes dreams are just loopy, but occasionally your subconscious is trying to tell you something. Most of my, err, romantic dreams involving women have carried the general message of "this is okay, nothing wrong with this" so my brain's maybe trying to assuage my fear.

    Ha, I haven't been *attracted* to anyone in a sexual way in about 3 months, and the other night I had a really strange one involving things. It's weird.
    But mostly you can takes dreams with a grain of salt. I've had even stranger ones.

    It honestly depends. I've had various dreams that line up with my orientation but other times not. It does say something about my Kinsey 5, though.

    Take your dreams with a grain of salt, but more importantly, take note on what happens in reality, where you aren't always in control.
