Antonius Posted July 26, 2004 Posted July 26, 2004 I suppose you're almost right. We aren't really getting worried over this are we? One has to be honest with oneself i suppose. Either you're striving for purity or you aren't. Besides, like Ash said, lucidity is a weird thing to begin with.
cmotherofpirl Posted July 26, 2004 Posted July 26, 2004 [quote name='Antonius' date='Jul 26 2004, 12:34 PM'] Didn't Jesus say that if you look at a woman impurely then you have already sinned in your heart? Basically, sinning in a lucid dream would be an impure thought. So, if impure thoughts are mortal then you need to go to confession. Ash summed it up nicely about the purity of heart. I [/quote] Nope. One does not control the thought that comes to your mind, [i]dwelling[/i] on the thought is what makes it sinful.
AngelofJesus Posted July 26, 2004 Posted July 26, 2004 Its in our Catechism. It says that if we are half asleep, we are not responsible nor accounted sinful for our thoughts. It makes sense since Satan is constantly bombarding us with impure thoughts. When we sleep we could no longer control our thoughts, therefore cannot be accounted for them.
prov31girl Posted July 26, 2004 Posted July 26, 2004 (edited) I would have to say that the things we do in our sleep are not considered sins. I am continually striving for purity but the enemy likes to attack me where I have no defense, which is through my dreams. Isn't it like that coward to do that? Where it would become a sin is if I dwell on the thought of that dream or something like that. So yeah...that's just my opinion. Edited July 26, 2004 by prov31girl
