    'Sin' is defined differently by different religions. You present yourself as an Atheist, which makes it particularly difficult to help you define 'sin'. I would suggest that unless your dreams are caused by day-time fantasies, you cannot be responsible for them, and are not 'sinning'.

    Is Kabbalah a religion, a cult, or the new fad for celebrities? The answer is all of the above. Kabbalah is classical Hebrew for something which is received (in modern Hebrew it means a receipt). Traditionally, it refers to very deep/mystical interpretations of the bible, transmitted orally through the greatest scholars of each generation. The main 'textbook' of Kabbalah, Zohar, was published towards the end of the middle ages. Initially, many Rabbis considered it to be a forgery, but it is now unanimously accepted as genuine. This was followed by the publication of other Kabbalah works. The general availability of these texts spawned many mystical cults (some within Judaism, some splitting off, often something in between). Recently, The Kabbalah Centre (http://www.kabbalah.com/) made the mystique of Kabbalah texts and traditions into a new-age fad for celebrities and anyone else willing to buy their courses or visit their store.
