Hi Christine –<\/p>\n
Freud would have clucked and filed this dream under \u201cpenis envy,\u201d though I don\u2019t think we have to go that far in our analysis. Heck, let\u2019s just call your dream desires for what they are – sexual curiosity – which is about as natural as the sun coming up tomorrow morning.<\/p>\n
Your dream reflects a logical sequence of thoughts beneath its manifest content. You were dreaming about sex in an exploratory context (masturbation) when your curiosity about \u201cwhat it would be like to have a penis\u201d popped into your mind. As is common in dreams though, your dream did not suddenly depict yourself with a penis. Rather, it was your sister who suddenly called you into the next room -to show you her penis.<\/p>\n
The question you raise is: why your sister, and why not yourself? There are two likely answers to your question. Either it would have been too unbelievable – in the dream – for yourself to have a penis (you would have recognized that you were dreaming), or your sister had the penis because a part of you objects to the fantasy of yourself having a penis. In this latter \u201cdisguised wish\u201d scenario, your sister is serving as a convenient substitute for your own curiosities. And who, after all, could be closer to you than your very own sister?<\/p>\n
I think the key insight you lend us into the dream is that \u201cI might even have been a tiny bit jealous that she had this new toy to play with, though it was only a tiny bit of jealousy, because she now didn\u2019t have her female organs.\u201d Your view of her penis as a \u201ctoy\u201d that she could play with suggests a \u201cplayful\u201d curiosity more than anything else. You also are clearly not in any hurry to lose your own, female, organs – which indicates your contentment with your own sexuality.<\/p>\n
Anyone who hasn\u2019t wondered what it must be like to be a member of the opposite sex – sex and all – must not be very curious, or sympathetic. After all, the better we understand each other, the better couples we can be.<\/p>\n
