    When I wake up it's like I just PMO'ed, went through the whole act, sitting behind my PC and PMO'ing. Very confusing, and now I REALLY want to do it. :( Any tips? The Images in my head now of P are so clear, I need to stop it!

    Day 23 BTW.

    This happens to us all. I think it's some sort of reaction your brain has to suddenly being starved of the thing you constantly went to. My suggestion would be to start your day with a cold shower, right as you wake up from that dream. Also, keeping a journal helps. It gives you the opportunity to see where you came from and how far you have come. Good luck guys, and stay strong.

    This is perfectly normal. You must realise that this is just your brain trying to hold on to your memories. When you're awake, your prefrontal cortex does a good job at keeping your fantasies at bay. However, when you're asleep, you are more vulnerable and your mind tries to hold on to reward-inducing pathways. I'm afraid this is part of the rebooting process, but I promise you that the dreams will diminish over time.

    Over my 90 days, I've had more than 10 dreams where I relapsed when I hadn't! I know it feels bad and chaser effect can be troubling, but you must push through.

    It's ok. It happened to me also 1 night and I haven't PMO'ed since July. The way I rationalized it was my brain was getting used to being without sex since I recently broke up with a girl. I don't know if it's your brain..more like your unconscious..IT WILL DO ALL IT CAN TO KEEP YOU IN YOUR COMFORT ZONE. And I believe this is why this happened.

    It happened to me as well! This is why I decided to join the forum and start my journal.
    I was at about 18 days of NoFap (I was not doing a challenge and stopped counting days after the first 10).
    I begun having all this wet dreams featuring ex's...I did not dream of relapsing but still left me with a weird feeling.
    It lasted maybe for 2/3 nights and now they are gone. I'd say that it is better is you don't overthink about them, and start your day focusing on your duties/passions/sport.

    Thanks guys, really means alot to me that you take the time to support me. I'm proud to say that I'm now on day 24! I had a really hard time yesterday as I was studying hard for an exam but still pushed through. I thought like, if I do it now I'm going to feel even more crap in a few moments. My brain really wanted it, the snack, but thankfully I still had enough cognitive space left for reasoning myself out of it.

    By the way, today a nice girl on the train smiled at me and started talking to me after something situational happened, even though I looked like shit from studying so late.

    I also have this kind of dream on my early days of NoFap. to be honest, until now I still wondering why do I dream about that? is that the sign that my brain is recovering or is it simply the sign of my brain missing P?

    It's probably a sign of both! :)

    i had a very intense dream this night. i was watching porn and masturbating and i felt very sad in my dream - sad because i relapsed. somehow it is fascinating how the brain is fighting (or dealing) against the urge and the desire to watch porn. but strangely it was no wet dream this time. the underpants were clean when i woke up.
