Understanding Intrusive Thoughts and Sin
Intrusive thoughts, whether awake or asleep, can be dark but are not sins unless indulged with consent and action. Sin is defined by the conscious choice to go against what is known to be wrong, unlike dreams where free will is absent. Dreams, being subconscious, lack the freedom to sin, serving more as reflections of our waking thoughts and influences on our mind.
