I’m just curious if you could change your sexuality using lucid dreams, I don’t know if I am any other sexuality than straight or not but I am mainly just curious.
Lol I’m pretty sure I’m not gay either but I’ve often wondered if it would be possible to like become a woman or something like that. Of course its possible, but you know, would it be interesting.
No no no, I mean if you could use lucid dreams to change your sexuality in real life.
…
That sounds as stupid as thinking you can cure gayness with treatment to be honest, so no. If you have any questions about you’re sexuality feel free to experiment any way you like, but don’t expect it will change your sexuality.
No you cannot.
Dreams can often make us feel emotions that can disturb us, change ways we think.
However those usually do not last.
Also, it is believed that sleeping/dreaming helps with learning.
Can it by itself change your sexuality? No
Can it help “changing” your sexuality? No
The thing it can do is help you clear it out.
You can’t “change” your sexuality unless you undergo massive body changes
You can only “discover’” what is right for you, dreams can help with it, yes.
If you mean sexual attraction like being straight, bi or gay etc., then no. These are caused partly by genes and partly by your life experiences. Dreams can’t alter those, so you have to live with whatever you are.

I would argue on that. Our sexuality is only partly affected by genes (Although even that is not proven actually). The other part develops during our childhood.
It means that, even though one’s genes say that he will be a gay, he can still become straight during childhood. The genes, according to the hypothesis only decides what gender attracts us, but the attraction may fade away or strenghten during our life experiences.
I don’t know what your church told you but sexuality is not a choice nor something that can change or fade away, you are born with it and die with it.
Regardless of what defines/causes sexuality, I don’t think that a dream can actually alter it. I’ve heard of multiple cases of heterosexuals having highly erotic homosexual dreams (lucid and otherwise) and vice versa. This has not changed them irl and their sexual preference has remained. Now, there might be cases of hidden feelings that you could argue, but I don’t think it changes who the person is at the core.

He never said it was a choice. And I don’t think any church has anything to do with it.
What he meant was simply that while one may have a genetic predisposition for being gay or bisexual, experiences in someone’s life may alter the course.
One of my friends, for instance, became a lesbian at the age of 24 (which to me seems a very late age). She said it was because of several extraordinary events in her life in a relatively short timespan (about a year and a half). She says that if those things hadn’t happened, she would likely still be straight.
She never seemed confused about her sexuality in the past and was brought up in an environment where sexuality isn’t as big a deal as it can sometimes be (very non-religious and overall tolerant environment).
One could argue that she was born gay and simply needed the right trigger to learn it. And she doesn’t deny that those seeds were there from birth. But she insists that it was those experiences that changed her, and who am I to question her on that?
/offtopic
In response to the OP: I don’t think lucid dreams can alter one’s sexuality if one simply wants to be different. Rhewin pretty much nailed it.
I agree with what is said above me, and
I don’t know what your church told you
I use Google, not a church to get information on these matters
If you’re still in doubt, you may search the web, read wikipedia on that topic. I’m sure you will discover, that sexuality doesn’t develop on our birth, it develops during our early life. The genes only show us the direction. During our life experiences, we may move in another direction.
And it’s not something we can choose, and I never said it was. It depends on how we live and what we experience. But we can’t choose to be a gay or straight. Our early life chooses it for us.

Some kinds of emotional traumas can help to change the sexuality of a person. For instance, if a 7-year old girl is raped by a man, there is a possibility that this girl can become a lesbian later on.
