Don’t you think that ‘sin’ is something you do >by choice< that you know is harmful to persons, things, or significant moral codes? Very few people, if any, can 'control' their dreams (look up 'lucid dreaming'). Dreams are either fantasies and wishes from the unconscious (outdated Freudian view) or brief spurts of random information processing as the brain sorts through the chaos of short term memories. Dreaming only happens during brief periods of sleep (so called 'rapid eye movement' stage). Dreaming is not very relevant to morality or ethics. 'Devilish things'? I suppose you mean forbidden acts or thoughts or things we do that we know are wrong. I think our minds should be free to contemplate anything in the world, including evil, so we can more clearly understand it and, hopefully resist or avoid it. I hope your definition of devilish or wicked is about what's really evil (like terrorism, child abuse, fraud, etc.) rather than those natural instincts like hunger and sexual drives that nature gives us to help us survive.
