In Jain Dharma, do not drown in shame for a dream. Dreams can arise from past impressions, thoughts, and the workings of the mind. A dream by itself is not the same as deliberate action.

What matters is your response:

• Do not enjoy or feed the lustful thoughts.
• Do not hate yourself harshly.
• Calmly become aware of the mind.
• Practice brahmacharya and self-restraint.
• Do pratikraman and repent gently if you feel your mind has become impure.

Jain teaching encourages forgiveness, awareness, and purification, not self-destruction through guilt. So the right attitude is: “This happened in the mind; I will remain disciplined and move toward purity.”

If the thoughts keep coming often, reduce sensual inputs, stay busy in dharma, and strengthen your vows of restraint.
