Wet dreams

Well I for one am looking forward to it in a weird way. I am sleeping like crap with an erection all night more or less. Yes it will be messy and inconvenient but maybe I will sleep more soundly. I think it was close last night. I had a sex dream about my ex GF. I would not count it as a reset, as it is a subconscious thing not a conscious decision to PMO.

 

It's like you said Beauty, it's just the body's way of getting rid of sperm.

I would say that if your getting WD's, not using PM and looking for a relationship, then you have rebooted your body and mind and working as they should. So the next thing is how to deal with the things with the WD(witch you can't and should not try to stop).

The groggy and hungover feeling ommmm... let me think....

First just the basics:

1) Eat a balanced diet (a little of evey thing)

2) Make a wakeup routine with the points below:
3) Have a shower when you wakeup (I don't go for COLD!!! but bot HOT!!! think refreshing)
4) Fit a exercise routine into your wakeup routine
5) Have a glass of fruit juice evey morning
6) Have a breakfast

7) Go to bed when your tired. If your doing something, like watching a film at home and you get sleepy GO TO BED!!! the film will be there another day.

I hope this ideas help

 

I have had wet dreams during abstinence and while being sexually active. I would only be concerned over the content of your dreams if you woke up with the sense of guilt. it depends on what your goals are but in all honesty I had more wet dreams when I learned how to control my dreams (there is a fine line between realizing you are dreaming and not waking up) which in my case was not something that I wanted to pursue from a moral standpoint it also encouraged more fantasies during the day... which in my opinion is counterproductive to NoFap.
In summary I don't think wet dreams count if you don't realize you are having them until you wake up

 

Just curious are you taking antidepressants of any kind? I used to take Zoloft which gave me wet dreams like crazy.

 

Considering wet dreams are not intentional and involuntary, I would not reset my counter, but be glad that you got somewhat of a release.

 

Thanks for posting this.

I went 84 days without PMO until I relapsed about 2 days ago! MO not PMO - I was very very tempted to look at P. Anyway up to the build up to MO on day 84, I had like 4 WD's in 1 week - I could not believe it and was really freaked out. I think the chaser effect "built up" then I gave in...felt really crappy on the day after MO.
The only thing that I was not doing consistently before I relapsed was exercise, I was out of the country for about a week and did not do much physical activity for about 2 weeks.

I dont know, but I must say I feel okay now...and not so depressed that I messed up a long streak. Any more tips about WD let me know or about long streaks.

 

Being having only dry dreams lately.

 

I hear ya Beauty!!!! I can totally relate, although I did not get them as common as you do.
This has been (was) a major psychological problem for me and also physical because I also felt the hangover effect from the wet dreams also.
Its seems more so that the benefits that I start to feel from nofap are so great that when I have a wet dream I lost those benefits and was very depressed and weak feeling afterwards.
I am a vegetarian so I think this helps me a lot, because diet is so important with this problem it seems in the beginning at least. my longest streak without a wet dream has been 30 days and then I lost that streak to the august super moon. I have found that for me, there are certain days of the month that I need to be particularly careful. Full moons, and when the moon is in my astrological sign seems most dangerous for me. These are the days that I make sure to go for a run.
You should do some research on sexual energy transmutation or sublimation, the fellas in the eastern parts of the world know a lot more about this stuff then us in the west it seems. Basically the energies that are obtained from the semen are extremely powerful in so many ways. here is a quote,

"6. “Rasad raktam tato mamsam mamsanmedhah prajayate; Medasosthi tato majja majjayah sukrasambhavah—from food comes juice or chyle, from chyle blood, from blood flesh, from flesh fat, from fat bones, from bones marrow and lastly from marrow semen.” Semen is the quintessence of food or blood. One drop of semen is manufactured out of 40 drops of blood according to the medical science. According to Ayurveda it is elaborated out of 80 drops of blood. Just as sugar is all-pervading in the sugar-cane, butter in milk, so also semen is pervading the whole body. Just as the butter-milk is thin after butter is removed, so also semen is thinned by its wastage. The more the wastage of semen the more is the weakness. In Yoga Sastras it is said: “Maranam bindupatanat jivanam bindu-rakshanat—falling of semen brings death; preservation of semen gives life.” Semen is the real vitality in man. It is the hidden treasure for man. It imparts Brahma-Tejas to the face and strength to the intellect. "

It seems that us humans have degenerated massively and wastage of semen is the biggest reason why. Back in the times of Mozart and Ludwig van Beethoven the temptations were not there like today, and peoples brains were actually fertilized with the buildup of this seminal essence.
This essence gives creativity, willpower, strength, love, compassion, spirituality, etc etc...
Their is a channel that runs along both sides of your spine and this is where the bio-energies that the built-up semen radiate travel to get to the brain and the pituitary-pineal glands. This force is also called Kundalini. It is the same force that the great martial arts masters harness and use, and also how many people like bill gates became so smart and driven.
These people have lots of sexual powers and drive, but they know how to transmute the energies up(good) instead of down (wasted).
The problem arises when you have lots of sexual thoughts and desires (looking at porn) or looking at the female with perverse eyes. This makes your semen production skyrocket (when should stay steady) and like a damn full of water, needs to go somewhere. When you do not do any sexual energy transmutation techniques this becomes a major problem and the damn spills over (wet dream). Certain foods also act like the lusty thoughts and make you burst with semen production (like eggs), and the same thing happens.
Even if not having the lusty thoughts and watching obscene images, It will still run over the damn if not transmuted properly (or can cause bodily harm?). I found that mental and physical exercise was necessary. There is lots of ways to transmute the energies, just getting them burned up in any way other than down and out is progress. Your body will get used to the new pathways and eventually it becomes less work I hear. Meditation is a great way to transmute. Chi-gong is another, along with running, dancing, drawing, writing, working out, there are so many ways but meditation is the best way to transmute them into spirituality and inner realization which is what im going for. Some use the energies to make money, whatever you want. Just realize that your body is building lots of energies now that it is not yet used to and you need to create the new pathways for it to travel.
One of the biggest keys also for me was how I slept. Sleeping on my stomach, especially in the mornings would cause a wet dream almost every time. I do not allow myself to sleep on my stomach at all anymore.
I also get up earlier every morning and meditate. I don't need as much sleep anymore because of all of this and I have tons more willpower so its not a problem to get up real early and meditate. The mornings are most dangerous for me I have found, and this is when I tend to have a wet dream more than anything so it is worth it for me!
There is also a bunch of supplements that have helped me a lot especially in the beginning when I was having the wet dreams more often, like amalaki powder (indian gooseberry), or licorice, and certain foods that you want to stay away from like eggplant skins that thin the semen. Do some research on sattvic or tamasic foods. some foods heat the semen and cause problems also so stay away from these especially at night. The 6th tibetian rite is a great way to force transmutation. (in the your brain on porn link below)
Pranayama is a breathing exercise that helped me a lot also. This is a great transmutation exercise. Mula Bandha is another exercise that helped me tons, it is simply put very close to doing kegals. When you strengthen the perineum muscle you can actually stop the flow of semen when you find yourself waking up in the middle of a wet dream, and this helps stop the loss of much of the essence. It is also an extremely useful natural form of birth control . I will give you a few links that helped me understand and get a hold on this stuff personally, maybe some will help you too!
Good luck friend, I feel for you and I really hope you can overcome this problem because I know how much it sucks.

Ohh any one more thing, cold showers are great for this also before bed. If you don't want to take a full blown cold shower, just soaking your feet in cold water will help draw the energies away from the reproductive area and help with wet dreams!
