Your dream husband was more of a man than most of the poor cucks on LW. Good story, short and to the point. 5 stars.
We are told at the beginning that the wife finds everything about her husband irritating, But we re given no explanation about how this came about. Thing like this don't just 'happen'; there are causes. Hormone imbalance? Menopause? Emotional illness? Without knowing a cause, the rest of the story is pointless. The dreams simply become a 'deus ex machina'.
This is fantasy I like. Still pure fantasy, those that cheat, cheat. Remorse is for getting caught and how others will see them afterwards. I don't believe a nightmare would stop a person who intends to cheat.
Okay, I guess, for a short story. But I had a difficult time imagining her in heals, or the husband starring at her infidelity. Thankfully, here dreams saved her!
Very good! Tracie had the sense/luck to let the consequences of any affair overtake her lust.

Meh.
Did she cheat? No. Was she going to? Possibly. But in the end, she dolled up for the husband not for lust or desire for him. But to somehow "make it up" to him. This makes her gesture dishonest.
Bitch is damaged goods..
5 Stars, Great Writing, Great Story, Great Morality. Very good writing for 750 words especially! Thanks for the effort. I love a happy ending. thanks, Buster2U
Wish this story played out more often in real life. I guess “Father Fidelity “ can only be so many places at once. 5*
But for how long? Will she think she smart enough to get away with screwing some other guy or will she remember the last dream until she dies?
I remember this one story (haven't been able to find it in awhile) where the wife uses her 'celebrity hall pass' and tells her hubby about it, thinking it would be okay. Bad things ensure for her, as her plots and schemes only backfire. It turns out that everything following her using the hall pass was a prophetic dream, so she ended up not telling her hubby (to avoid him leaving her for someone else).
I'm generally not a fan of supernatural stuff in LW stories, but I can still appreciate them for the story. This story doesn't really interest me, but that doesn't take away that it's a good story. Would love to know why the wife felt she deserved to cheat, or why her hubby's been irritating her so much (other than typical _I'm getting old_ tropes). Thanks for sharing it. 5*
My wife of 31 years has vivid dreams, and in many of them she talks in her sleep. I have been privy to most of the stresses and strains that have beleaguered her over the years--some of which involved our marriage. She has (almost) always shared with me when her dreams involved a romantic or sexual relationship with someone else--from fellow co-workers to Jon Hamm of "Mad Men". Though I never saw the attraction that actor held for her, I took it under advisement to see what in our marriage turned her mind that way. We both knew why the two bosses she felt attracted to attracted her--power/control/gravitas. I understood that attraction--it's what drew her to ME those long years ago, and why she has stayed even though I no longer wield much of any of those as our professional lives are pretty much behind us. But the memory of what brought us together lingers, and she is still the most stunning, intelligent, and creative person I've ever known. Above all else I feel tremendously blessed that she has shared her life with me. Though both our bodies have changed over the years, our love has not--mostly because we ALWAYS communicated our feelings--good and bad--and our wants and needs.
Our relationship has not been without its bad moments and we have struggled as all couples do to give each other what we need when we need it. Three decades and four children later our love is not the same as it once was--but it is just as deep.
What I see in this wonderful story you have gifted us with is the reality of truly loving relationships. No relationship is ever entirely free of distractions and temptations. Your heroine eventually saw clearly what she had--and what she had to lose. She made a decision EVERYONE should support, especially knowing that none of us sail through life without facing some variation of her conflict.
Kudos on a great story. More please.

Dan stood on the bedroom doorway looking at his "slutty" looking wife and he knew. The harpish way she had been treating him lately and now the guilty look she tried to cover up by looking "sexy" confirmed his suspicions. He brokenly sighed " Why Tracie? ", turned and left the room.
Good story. Her subconscious worked through her frustrations and showed her the consequences of her contemplated actions. 5🌟
Well that's a lie isn't it ImNotaAnon, nothing in your profile, you might as well be. I'd bet you probably have a half dozen accounts on here. Such a sad, pathetic excuse of carbon base life form.
You can go back to searching for kiddie porn now, while your sister tosses my salad...
Anyone who has read my opinions knows I think the 750-word stories mostly are a waste of time. This one worked. 5-stars. I can't explain why except maybe because like most dreams, they are disjointed and make little sense but if you study them then sometimes a little insight can be discovered. Our subconscious mind sometimes burns through like the sun on a foggy day.
A novel idea, very well executed. Perhaps a little TOO demonstrative (tell us the dreams; don't tell us what they mean - we ARE able to think 😉).
But full points anyway.
Sugar Ray Robinson once had a dream the night before his scheduled bout , in his dream he unintentionally killed his opponent. Waking up in a cold sweat he refused to fight, the promoters and trainers all tried to talk him in to it despite the dream , still refusing the brought in some priests who convinced him to fight as it was just a dream . But his dream proved prophetic and his opponent did die . Tragedy struck because he let others influence him and change his decision. Wish you all sweet dreams
I am not sure why the author mentions that she has been feeling irritated by her husband and his actions lately.
This may have caused her to have the erotic dream about a male at her work who she finds hot.
Most of us have erotic dreams about a fantasy lover or maybe a celebrity, and most of us at some time will look at a member of the opposite sex and think they are hot.
Because of the way she has been feeling about her husband of late she wonders if she should make the dream a reality, the following dreams were probably from feeling guilty about the dream or maybe her thoughts after she woke.
The next day, still feeling guilty she decides to give her husband some hot sex.
I am just not sure that is going to stop her from finding her husband irritating, I am thinking it wouldn't be a bad idea to see a Doctor, I am a male, i don't know much about menopause etc but I know they say a big change comes over women during it.
The thing that comes to my mind is if she has been showing her irritation and hubby has probably noticed it and suddenly changes and showers him with love/sex, well if he reads stories like the ones on this site he would be straight out looking for a PI to find who she is having an affair with.
Because even though she hasn't had an affair her actions would make hubby suspicious if he reads these stories, they are right out of the cheaters handbook.
If I was her I would be telling hubby I have realised that lately I have been very crabby with you and I am going to see a Doctor and find if something is wrong, and probably invite him to go withher
yes for now ,but with a whore another dream will follow , she might not be able to save her self whore.
I liked it, but the spelling mistakes made it hard to read, and interrupted the flow. I gave it 4 stars.

An interesting story shot down by clumsy writing. I agree with others the issue of how she would deal with those little irritations should have been addressed, though tough to take care of everything in 750 words.
Hey she was tempted. But her mind worked it, showing the consequences. Realized what she was putting at risk. She stopped, aborted the planned fling and decided to fix their marriage. While it is disappointing thatbshebgot to that point, she did stop before jumping off the cliff. That has to mean something. Would have been curious yo know how much of an emotional affair (if any) she had before she planned to screw thr young guy. Sounds like was flirting and made some minimal contact. Sounds like she was more wrestling with the idea of an affair and her dreams showed her a likely future.
A great effort with only 750 words. The power of conscience and an understanding of consequences.
Great story, we got BTB yet it was all a dream and she did not fall to temptation but instead ended up romancing her husband.
Anytime somebody saying or thinking "excitement", or just a fling, or "just sex", or "her needs" - just translate it as selfish, and arrogant, and narcissistic. It comes out the same. It's just adultery and infidelity, no matter what kind of spin you want to put on it...
Well written story. The use of spell check kind of tripped you up. With inappropriate word replacement in several places.
It's one thing to be attracted to someone and be tempted. It's another to start thinking, "maybe I deserve this" and actually start entertaining thoughts of betrayal to satisfy selfish desires that you know would destroy those you love. I guess in the end the real difference between wives that end up cheating and those that stay loyal is simply a matter of their character. If they aren't selfish bitches and have strength in their convictions with regards to their vows, they'll do just fine; else betrayal is only a matter of time.
Amazing job for a 750 word story. You encompassed everything, and even managed to end it on a happy note, with her regretting her fantasies and not having breached any boundaries. 5*
Good, except that in the real world these women are more selfish and narcissistic than your character and would not be likely to give up their wants even if they recognized the situation correctly...
