Er, since when does being married suddenly make one less likely to have sex dreams about people other than your spouse?

Not in your conscious EvC-speak mind, I agree. But in your dream state (subconscious?), deep aspects of Christian theology are revealed. And if the dream was a product of your own mind (which I take to be your position) then your subconcious has soaked up a lot more Christian theology than your conscious mind recognises.
​
This really shouldn't be a surprise to anyone.
​
Western culture is steeped in Christian theology, particulary in the US.
​
There's no way to escape it for most people born and raised here.

Maybe in the US. Not on this side of the pond. Here we had some on-deaths-door Roman Catholicism - which can hardly be described as Christian theology. Not sure what Larni was exposed to though
​
Not steeped in Christianity?
​
Tell me, does everyone on your side of the pond know about Christmas and Easter? Are many businesses, banks, and the government offices closed on Sundays and Christian religious holidays? How many churches are there in the UK and Europe, and how long have they been there? Are people confused when they see a man or woman wearing a white collar? Do people often point at someone's cross pendant necklace and say, "What's that"?

You're very sweet, but I've got to tell you that I couldn't get a date to save my life for many, many years. I was not, as they say, a guy magnet. Quite the opposite.
​
Too many far prettier girls around.
