Last night I had a dream about another woman. It was a woman that I knew some years ago and had an inappropriate crush on.
My association with her ended in a conflict for me, my wife, her and her husband. I have not seen (except for a couple of chance encounters) or spoken to them since then.
It was not a sexual dream, just that there was peace between us. *In my dream, me & my wife moved to another house and then found out she was living just a couple of houses away. As neighbors, assocation with her was not avoidable and she came over and we talked & resolved the conflict. We were at peace and I was happy for that.
I've had this dream before. Maybe every few months I have it or a similar one. And I've told my wife about it before but any mention of this woman really bothers her. My wife wants to know everything about me and especially anything about any other women but it doesn't seem to serve any purpose to tell her about it. Just stirs up old hurts and makes her mad.
So, if you guys ever have a dream about another women, do you tell your wife?
*Note that a TOS prohibits dream interpretation. Please do not interpret my dream. And I don't give much credibilty to dream interpretation even if it wasn't a TOS issue.

If I can remember my dreams, I usually tell my wife.
A couple weeks ago, I had a dream that I woke up one morning to find out that I had been elected the President of the United States. I honestly could not figure out why I had been elected. But it was okay, because the band Chicago let me play drums with them. That part of the dream was kind of cool!
And yes, when I tell my wife about my dreams, she usually says something like, "Yeah, right, like THAT is ever going to happen!" 
Actually, there was one dream I had - many years ago - that really scared me. When I woke up, for awhile I couldn't figure out whether my dream was real and I was now sleeping, or vice versa. What scared me is that in my dream I had had an affair with a girl from our youth group. Yes, I told my wife. Yes, the dream REALLY freaked me out.
Basically, I think that dreams are kind of a weird unwinding of our minds. I'm not sure they are evidence that you secretly are in love with the girl in your dream.

Sure, why not. She's probably listening in anyway.

Sometimes I do and sometimes I don't. If it is something that I know will upset her needlessly, I do not.

I have always told my wife my dreams. I am blessed. I have not to my recall had any nightmares. Most of my dreams have some silliness to them and I do have a few sexual dreams. I tell my wife all of them. At least the ones I remember.

It depends what the dream was about and if I could remember them.

i agree with you in that it doesn't seem to serve any purpose telling her. i'm for complete honesty but unless you're consciously thinking about this woman during your waking hours, i don't think you are trying to dream about her so i don't see it being your fault. i don't think it's dishonest to not tell a dream as i don't think it's necessary to report every fleeting thought we have when we're awake even. i am not sure of details of "crush", but it's likely that it will take some time to get out of your system. by bringing it up again, it's just all the more on your mind now and fresh. it's in the past, it should stay there. so personally i did not have any set rule either way in the past.

I am not married but if dating someone exclusive, yes will discuss them. its a part of being closer. BUT as was mentioned, some can be taken out of context so monitor what you tell dream wise. you not lying. well hope that didnt come as bad advice
