100% inappropriate dreams

NC for this.

I've been married for 10y. Decent marriage with usual ups and downs but a bit bland. We have 1DC (3yo) and are in our early 40s. Our sex life has been very exciting when we just met and then, as I assume is natural, deteriorated to the current 'lets get on with it' every few weeks - usually 1 per month. I admit I'd now rather reach for a battery operated toy than for DH. He doesn't seem to mind. We are good friends and partners and we enjoy raising DC together.

However, over the last 2weeks or so I started having these wildly inappropriate dreams about my boss. Awake, I find the man irritating and frustrating, though I admit he would objectively classify as fairly attractive. He is older than me, married and there is literally NO flirting happening between us. On either side.

The problem is all that wild, uncensured action in my dreams which makes it super awkward to work with him and even more awkward to face DH in the morning. I feel like I'm cheating even though that's nowhere near my awake thinking and I am very much ashamed and desperate to put a stop to it. I'm also terrified I'll mention boss' name while asleep and create a very difficult situation with DH.

How do I make these dreams stop?

It's really, really common to have sex dreams about people you don't actually fancy - or even actively loathe. It doesn't make me feel guilty because, well, what can you do? If it's someone I don't fancy I just think 'Well, that was weird!'

But occasionally it's been someone I actually really, really detest, and when I've woken up the thought of it has made my skin crawl and it doesn't feel like the dream was actually enjoyable, if that makes sense.

I have naughty dreams about a naked George Harrison now and again. I enjoy them, especially when the ones where I wake up panting having had an orgasm. Those ones aren't as frequent unfortunately. I'm sure my husband wouldn't be too pleased but I just keep it to myself and its not hurting anyone.
