    Hello friends i am on my 45th day of nofap. I just completed my flatline phase, it's just only 8-9 days. Today when i was sleeping i had a sex dream in which i am doing sex but in my dream i don't wear condom and my partner become pregnant, it is very fearful and weird dream because it contains orgasm, bad things and uncertainty. When i realized about pregnancy of my partner, my dream and sleep at the same time quickly broken and i suddenly realized that something is coming out from my penis and it was semen, i also feel orgasm during my dream and also when my semen coming out at night, it was time about 3:00am. So basically it was night fall but when my sleep broken i feel night fall in the woken mode, but when i woke up my sleepy mind didn't understand what happened i just thought that i ended up doing actual sex but after 5-8sec i realized my night fall is happening. So did i relapse or not??

    Hey @B787-8,

    Thanks for sharing to us about this. I can see that you have a dilemma about this, whether it counts as a relapse.

    I think that before you answer the question, you must correlate it with the goals you have set. If you said "NO PORN, FAP, ORGASM, NIGHTFALL" then you can count as relapse.

    Many people would not count NIGHTFALL as relapse, because it is unconscious or in your case semi conscious. So you are not in control while it happens.

    Some people if they are have goal of might fall will work strongly on their minds throughout the day making sure they do not expose their minds and/or senses to sexual or wrong things.

    Then that will translate to the sleeping time.

    If you are worried about NightFall then it is helpful to wear simple briefs to bed (i.e. Nothing exciting or stimulating). Never sleep with nothing protecting your sexual organs because you might rub them in the night)

    I hope this been some help, I don't know if has, but whatever happened just chalk up to experience and start over

    Peace,
    ☸ Brahmacharya ☸

    Hi @B787-8,

    No problem I hope something was of help

    I aspire to Brahmacharya path, insofar as it is reasonably possible living in morally bankrupt Western Society

    My main focus has been on giving up pornography, fap, orgasm, and mind altering substances like drugs, medications, sugar, caffeine.

    I'm currently 37 days clean from those things. I struggle with addiction to video games, procrastination, stealing and dishonesty, among other things.

    So Brahmacharya is right path, and I do what I can to work towards it.

    What is your goals?

    Peace,

    ☸ Brahmacharya ☸

    This is NOT a relapse. This is a wet dream.

    Wet dreams are completely healthy and natural and involuntary. You cannot control this.

    Relapsing is where you've actually chosen to fap and/or watch porn out of your own freewill, whether or not you orgasm doesn't matter, it's still a relapse, but that could make things harder to recover from.

    Thanks @Vegan Beast, totally agree - that's why I said "Many people would NOT count NIGHTFALL as relapse, because it is unconscious. So you are not in control while it happens."
    It would only be a relapse if you had expressly set yourself the task of no nightfall.

    Grrhhhh why you have the chaos simbol?? Your Chaos scum??? Grrrrrrhrhrhhrhr i dispise you grrhrhrhrh
     
  9. I wouldn't count it as a relapse, because you didn't consciously gave up. If you woke up and had beaten your meat it would be a relapse but it doesn't really affect your streak. Did you have PMO thoughts before going to sleep?
