I am a pretty good Catholic, but I do not know the answer to everything (just most things!)
Having a lustful thought is not wrong, because there is no way to control your thoughts. It is how you act upon those thoughts that counts. If you have a bad thought or dream, and immediately try to think of something else, you should be OK.
However, if you have a bad thought, and continue that line of thinking, or act upon that thought, that is when you can get in trouble.
Hope this helps!

You have no control over your dreams. Humans are sexual beings, if they weren't, we would have died out as a species long ago. All people have lustful feelings at some point, if you feel you need to repent then do so. Personally, having lustful thoughts and feelings are not in themselves bad, acting upon those feelings can be bad if you are not in a committed relationship.
There is no such thing as a person without sin, you have to find your own balance in your relationship with God.

The fact that you are concerned means that you are fine. There are many sins we commit daily without even knowing. I would personaly recommend of practice of daily repentence. Praying for the sins that we have knownfully committed and also the ones we didn't. In the end it really is a matter of the heart. So even if it is lust just commit it to Christ and he is faithful to continue to forgive us for all of your sins.
With that said make sure you are not confusing "being good" with being christian.

You cannot control your dreams. This is not lusting. Keep your daytime focus on Godly things that are pure and good and when the right girl comes along, marry her and present yourself to her pure and right before God. He will bless the union and you will continue to have a clean conscience before Him.

In order for you to have a "sex dream" you must first have had thoughts about it on some level to first have a dream about it, it had to be on your mind in some manner, you just dont have a dream "by accident"

You cannot control your dreams.
For a sin to be a sin you have to know it is wrong and do it anyway.
In a dream you are not making a conscious decision to sin.
Rest easy.
Peace, and God Bless you!

No... you can't control yr subconcious mind.
It holds feelings that are beyond yr control that are only let out in yr dreams and stuff like that.

Its not lust...usually, what you dream about is what you had been thinking about that day, or previous day.

If they say they have never had a sex dream, they would be ABSOLUTELY LYING!!!!!!!
People have no control over their subconscious. Don't sweat it, regardless of the ignorant answers you might get on here.
