Can I Sin in My Dreams?

Have you ever had dark, disturbing dreams? If you did, did you feel guilty when you woke up? Did you have some vague sense of shame that such dreams came from your mind?

If you’ve ever experienced this, you might have even wondered whether or not such dreams could be considered “sinful.” Fr. Mike is here today to give you the short answer—no, dreams themselves cannot be considered sinful—and the long answer… what are you doing during your waking hours that could be feeding these dark dreams?

"If I should die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take🙏"

My reason: “of course not!”

My scrupulosity: “Maybe… idk, I’m scared”

As someone who's been recovering from pornography addiction, in times where I'd been free of relapse for a week or so, I'd on occasion be hit with dreams where I was relapsing. It'd feel like an attack from the enemy. I feel the best attitude for getting past such instances is to not be fearful of the fact that the dream happened and being afraid that it'd tempt me into relapse, but instead to have an attitude of "thank God, it was only a nightmare, I'm free, and that's not changing." Fear is the weapon of the enemy, and dreams are simply dreams, best to not carry the dreams the enemy might try to hit you with into the waking world.

To anyone who struggles with lustful thoughts/temptations while trying to go to sleep or while sleeping here's something I've been doing recently that has helped extremely well I grab my rosary wrap it around my hand and just start praying the rosary or say some Hail Marys I also say in Jesus name get out hope this was helpful. It also helps me get a good night's sleep usually.

i’ve struggled with OCD intrusive thoughts for over a year at this point!!! trust me, they are NOT sins, they go against what you love/believe. for those of you who are struggling with OCD (real ocd not like how it’s portrayed in media), trust me God loves you no matter what you think🫶🏻

The irony of this video! Didn't sin in the dream. But, I had a dream recently where I had met with Father Mike in his room seen in this video and he kept giving me things to help heal my grandfather of bone cancer. Books, oils, prayer cards, the works! I had watched one of his talks just before I went to bed. So, it would only make sense Fr. Mike appears in my dream! I remember feeling at ease in the dream, knowing that a priest was trying to help my grandpa. ❤

Thank you. I have had horrible dreams and gone to confession over them. Scrupulous me….😢 the priest was so gracious with me.

My children and I pray "dear guardian angel, my guardian dear. With God's love that brings you here. Be forever this day and night at my side, to help watch, rule, love and guide me. Help me to have dreams that are good, help me to listen and do as I should". Amen.

[God_my_Savior]

Father Mike God bless you always! You are the reason i came back to church after 20 ish years! ❤️ Praise God!

[MikeWoo]

St Michael defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.

[theburnedoutPT]

A week before holy week I finally just confessed the sins that I commit in my dreams hoping that it will stop.❤

[delvingeorge]

Worst thing is those thoughts lingering around. Never let that happen.

the night time prayer from the Chosen has brought me so much comfort to my sleep

[iamcatholic_]

May God bless everyone with His peace at all times, even when we are asleep.

I just recently had a Sex Dream. I feel like I Can't control My Subconscious. But, I just pray to Jesus for strength and understanding. I don't want to over-think it.

[Reyzr]

I've been on a way better path since Easter has ended, I'm praying daily and actively trying to be a better Catholic person. I've found that my dreams are more active, and it was hard for me to deal with what I was seeing. This was what I needed, thank you Father.

[Hunterr]

Men can especially feel this because of bodily functions... Remember, you have no control over it, don't let satan bring you down.

[brendarodriguez]

Perfect timing, since I do have sinful dreams from time to time 😢

[vivwood]

To those of you who struggle with such dreams, I fund that clutching or wrapping a rosary around your arm works tremendously ❤️

[joeviking]

Wow, I needed to hear this. Watching TV in bed before sleep is not a good habit
