Stigma and discrimination have been reported among psychiatric patients in the areas of dating and marriage. This may mean that such patients are less likely to have regular sources of sexual satisfaction compared to the average person in the general population. This study was designed to test the hypothesis that by reason of not having regular sources of sexual satisfaction, sexual dreams are common among psychiatric patients who are in their sexually active years of life.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Materials and Methods</span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%; font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">Ninety- one (91) consecutive patients aged 18 – 40 years attending the Psychiatric Outpatient Clinic of the Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospitals Complex were recruited into the study. The subjects were required to provide information on their current sociodemographic characteristics and to indicate whether or not they had had sexual dreams in the previous three months. </span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Results</span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">Sixty- six out of the 91 subjects (72.5%) were not in intimate partner relationship. Fifty-six percent (56%) of the subjects reported having had sexual dream experiences in the previous three months; majority of them were males generally people in the lower age acket (18-30 years old).<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%"><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Conclusion<o:p></o:p></span></b></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">The study showed that many of the patients were not in intimate partner relationship and sexual dreams are common among them. </span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p>
