A possible sin	Lisa	Monday, November 9, 2015
Question: Is it a sin to masturbate in a lucid dream? In the dream, I am thinking it is a sin but I do it anyway. It is so real that in the dream itself I wonder if i am asleep or not. I am ashamed and scared to go to communion because of this kind of dream.
Question Answered by Bro. Ignatius Mary, OMSM(r), CCL, LTh, DD, LNDC Dear Lisa: To sin we must have conscious and deliberate consent to commit the sin. Under normal circumstances, we have no control over our dreams. There is no sin in what we dream, even in a vivid and lucid dream like you describe. There is no sin, thus you can receive our Lord in the Eucharist. God Bless, Bro. Ignatius Mary For information on how to receive help see our Help page.
