What are possible meanings for dreams of underwear?
Since underwear covers the genitals and is associated with sexual desire, seeing someone in underwear can connect with sexual desire, either for a specific person or just in general. You might be well aware of your feelings of sexual desire, or the dream might boost your awareness of them.
For example, a middle-aged man dreams about seeing his attractive neighbor strip down to her underwear to sunbathe in her yard. He hides behind the curtains to watch her. Then he hears his wife call for him and he tries to pretend that he was just watching the neighborhood for trouble. In reality, he has only seen his neighbor fully clothed, which is a big clue that seeing her in her underwear is symbolism. In waking life he undresses her with his eyes, doing so furtively because he doesn’t want his wife to get wind of what he’s thinking. He’s the neighborhood watch in the sense of being the guy who watches out for sightings of any attractive woman in the neighborhood!
Underwear is commonly misunderstood as automatically connected with sexuality, when more often it’s actually about seeing the person beneath the clothing, seeing beneath the surface, or feeling vulnerable or exposed. See: Clothing, Being naked
When people are dressed only in underwear, they generally want privacy. If you dream about barging in on someone wearing only underwear, or vice versa, it might connect with invasion of privacy or finding out something that’s hidden. See: Bathrooms
Wearing only underwear can symbolize revealing too much, or embarrassment.
On the other hand, being dressed only in underwear can be a way of saying, “See the real me.” Clothes are associated with the persona, a person’s public image. This can differ from the inner person. Dreaming about yourself wearing only underwear in front of people can be a way of saying that you feel comfortable showing the person you are inside. On the other hand, if you are uncomfortable in the scene it can mean you don’t want people to see the person you really are.
A young man dreams about seeing his mom in her underwear at the library. There is nothing sexual about the scene—she simply reads a book—but he wonders whether he might have some sort of Oedipal desire for her. However, the dream is simply saying that he’s starting to see his mother for the person she really is, rather than seeing her only as a mother—his mother. Her clothes in the dream symbolize her role as a mother, so lack of clothes is a way of saying he sees the person behind the role. The library setting is used as a way of saying he is learning something new about her.
Panties or other types of underwear can symbolize a barrier to getting what you want. They can be used to tell a story about obsession or fetish.

Dreaming of my boyfriends best friend fucking me
So I've been attracted to my boyfriends best friend for a while now and it seems it goes both ways. I've talked to my bf about sharing me a while ago already and he was completely against it and whenever I brought it up again he got mad at me so no chance that this will ever actually happen.
Anyway tonight I dreamt of my boyfriend inviting him over and I was wearing nothing but some cute underwear and they both started groping me while we were in the garden. And then his friend opened his pants and took out his cock and first fucked my pussy raw, then my ass until he came. I should probably say that my boyfriends best friend has only had sex twice in his life and I'd love to show him how good it can be because I've heard that it wasn't so great for him the last two times.
So now I'm thinking about just sending him a message confessing to him that I'd like him to fuck me... but for him to please not tell my boyfriend. But I'm not sure if he would do that

[NSFW] I Had a nightmare about my dad sexually assaulting me.
I just had to talk about this. It was so vivid and I still feel weird and upset even though I know its just a dream.
In it I was wearing a bra that wasn't padded well so my nipples stuck out. He saw them and started flicking them "playfully" but it was more of a passive-agressive punishment out of anger at me for my mistake in wearing that item. Then I told him to get off me and tried to fight him, I screamed as loud as I could but noone could hear me, which he found amusing.
In real life dad gets this weird look on his face if he's taking enjoyment or feeling smug about someone else's misfortune or of he is being passive-agressive. and he had that face/demeanor throughout the entire dream which added a familiarity/realness to it that I think is why it effected me so much.
So anyways I fight him off and told him to never do that again. He agreed, but then next time he saw me he wanted a hug. I tried to say no but he said "im your dad, I don't even get hugs anymore?" So I let him hug me and get it over with, but then he got my arms pinned to my sides in the hug and started doing the same thing with the nipples. I took longer to get him off and this time I ran away.
Im pretty sure there is a chunk of the dream i domt remember but Then we were in a room and I was naked. And he started taking a video, saying I won't get to put up boundries anymore because now he has blackmail and won't let me. And I was crying and embarassed, I tried to cover myself but I could only do so much.
Now I feel weird about seeing him which is not fair because it was a dream and he didn't do anything wrong in real life.
I guess I dont know why I felt the need to post this, I just needed to get it off of my chest. And I feel guilty for having a nightmare like this, like I've done something wrong. The whole thing is just embarassing and upsetting and I cant talk to anyone about it. I dont understand it so interpretations are welcome.

I couldn't remove my shirt and have sex
I had a dream yesterday night, about me and 6 others in the same room chatting and hanging out having some fun. I knew the 3 people involved in the dream, but there were another 3 people that I didn't know. the people I knew were from different phases of my life, high school, university, and post-graduate degree, which was weird.
At some point 1 of the girls turned naked lying on the bed, and the guy started having sex with the other girl just like that.. !
Someone said, "well, we all know where this is going to end up, so let's get it done!" (get naked and have sex). I pulled down my pants and was left with underwear but then when I tried to take out my t-shirt, there was another t-shirt below! and then.. another and another and another, and I was confused as to why there are so many shirts on me but I can only see and feel 1! The people in the room asked "are you okay?" and I replied "I think I'm hallucinating" and I started getting deliriant taking out shirt after shirt faster and faster and everything started trembling and ... i woke up.
​
Note: I went to bed at 5 am because I was working on my dissertation and was pretty sleep-depreciated.

Crazy dream.

i was wondering if anyone would help me understand this dream?
before we get into it, i understand this sounds like some dumb dream but it's left me feeling so weird and i can't explain it.
so back story:
i left my school nearly 2 years ago to go into private education. during my whole school experience and even now ive never liked people my age and have always been attracted to older men eg my teachers. (dw nothing ever happened, it was very one sided lol.)
anyways there was this one teacher who i really liked, im gonna call him mike (not his real name ofc). when i left school i never saw or spoke to mike again and it been that way since.
so onto the dream:
basically from what i can remember i was sat on a couch in some room in school which was full of students and teachers. mike entered the room and asked if he could have my seat and for some reason i said no. he then tried to take it from me so he basically ended up jumping on me, to which i grabbed his trousers and then they fell down which exposed his underwear.
then i woke up feeling really upset?
it's been on my mind all day and whenever i think about it i feel super sad.
i haven't thought about mike since i left school and now i deeply miss him? does anyone know why or what it means? thank you!
before we get into it, i understand this sounds like some dumb dream but it's left me feeling so weird and i can't explain it.

I had a dream my nudes were posted online :((
I had a dream my nudes were posted on Instagram and a hacker hacked my phone to do it. And, I wasn’t able to delete them or access my phone. This all happened while I was sitting in my house on a couch chair. I saw that all my friends and people I know saw the video of me and I was so embarrassed. My friend messaged me in the dream showing that she saw it and was asking if I was hacked or if I posted it. I didn’t know what to do. I tried logging in on my moms phone to delete the video but her phone kept turning on and off like it wouldn’t let me. I know that everyone I know saw it. My mom then came out from the room to talk to me about it and said that “it was bad” then she asked “why’d you send them to this person without even knowing them?” I didn’t know how to answer cause I didn’t send anything it was just a vid I took on my phone. She was asking many questions about it. I then realized I wasn’t wearing a top while she was talking to me. No bra or shirt so I was revealed even then. I was so embarrassed I was telling myself “this can’t be real this isn’t real” and in the dream I was hoping it was a dream so I could wake up. Luckily I attempted to wake up from this bad dream and it worked. Cause it felt real. I wanna know what this dream meant cause man it scared me and felt real and lasted long. I feel there’s prob a message in it for me 🙁
