Dream Meanings About The Masochism

Masochism - Dream Interpretation & Meaning

Gives gender-specific: Sado-masochism in dreams, while seemingly sexual in nature, may well show a propensity to tolerate an extreme attitude within a relationship, for both men and women. You might like to consult the entry for martyr for further clarification.

[1]

The desire to hurt or be hurt in dreams through sex arises from two causes.

The first is to be a martyr (to suffer for one’s ‘sins’) and the second to feel extreme emotion of one sort or another. We may not allow ourselves to feel deeply in everyday life.

[2]

Psychological / emotional perspective: Pleasure from pain, in the emotional sense in dreams, can alert us to our propensity to be a victim, albeit through a self-inflicted injury.

[3]

Material aspects: In a mundane sense masochism in dreams can highlight our tendency towards lugubrious acceptance that we can do nothing about the circumstances we are in.

[4]

Masochism can represent a desire to punish oneself out of guilt for a crime committed. Physical masochism in a dream can also represent psychological masochism.

[5]

Spiritual masochism suggests an act of self-inflicted pain, such as self-flagellation.

The pain perversely brings pleasure. It can be an aspect of martyrdom.
