Sinning In Dreams


L5

Recommended Posts

This question is based on something I read in St. Augustine's Confessions:

Are you culpable for mortal sin because of something that happens in a dream?

L5,

Short answer: No.*

*If you've done something to purposefully provoke a dream involving sexual impurity, then there might be some culpability, but since dreams are the subconscious' way of healthily taking out unhealthy urges, any culpability is lessened.
