    My sister has a new flatmate who is a year younger than me and pretty cute. Tonight i had a sex dream about her.
    I am on day 30 now. Should I even have sex dreams now? Should I be happy that it was vanilla and not some weird porn setting?
    And how do I talk to her now?
    This is awkward.

    Wet dreams are very common during reboot periods, I'm on day 29 right now and I had a wet dream as well last night.
    I wouldn't worry too much about them, its something that is beyond your control, and it will go away eventually.

    Just talk to her like you normally would, and try not to hold on to the imagery of the dream for too long, as it obviously might also induce urges.

    Thanks for your reply, mate. Sure, talking like I normally would is the right thing to do. I'm just afraid that I'm falling in love with her, but I really can't start a relationship right now.
    Maybe I should have a beer to cool off a bit... ;-)

    I woke up from O's two days in a row, a while back. I don't consider it a relapse, but look out for the chaser effect! I did relapse on the second day, a while later. Gotta put it out of my mind and think about gratifying things to do that aren't immediate!

    No worries. One dream isn't love. Dreams are a natural part of your reboot working. It means you're on your way to a healthy place.

    It's natural to be aroused and interested in women around you. That could be dreams, day dreams, or even actual eye contact in real life. All of that is normal sexual interaction. PMO was actually stealing a lot of that, as your needs were getting met so much by so many images, that you wouldn't know what is normal versus 'overstimulated' desire.

    In short, you are good to go. If you think you are interested in her, and won't create a rift for your sis, then go for it. (You might chat your sis up first to see if there is an issue, or a reason you shouldn't approach).

    Just don't think what you had was 'love' yet. A dream means 'lust'. Believe it or not, there are several kinds of lust, and not the 'sexual' one we use today (although that is most definitely a component in your desire). There is also a lust based on passion for a loving connection. It's usually a early feeling in a relationship, and has to be guarded, because you can make commitments and convince partners into things, and suddenly find you really didn't have a relationship, and the lust just vanishes, and now you are 'stuck'.

    If everything is good, then go for it. Don't make it awkward. Just throw it out that you would like to go out sometime, and see if she is interested. If not, don't worry about it. In short, don't attach your ego to the outcome, and you will have better luck, no matter how it falls.

    I would caution you to go slow. You're only 30 days into your reboot. There is a chance that things haven't actually returned to normal yet. If you do get a chance to chat this girl up, or even the wonderful opportunity to bed with her, just realize that there is a chance it won't be all you hoped for yet. That is ok. Just stick with the reboot, and things will get progressively better.

    Wow, thanks for the effort. That was quite a long post. Yes, I know it's not love. I'm just overwhelmed with emotion because the dream featured a real person.
    I really shouldn't date her now, maybe in a couple of months or next year. Provided that it's more than just a dream, of course.

    I never considered it a relapse, but you are so right about the chaser effect. I can barely think about anything else than having sex since I had this dream.

    How long does it take before sex dreams disappear?

    I'm getting loads at the moment : (

    I also had a second one yesterday. Maybe that's something we have to live with while we abstain from orgasms.
    Btw. are you talking about wet dreams or just dreaming of having sex? Because the one that caused me starting this thread wasn't a wet dream and I wonder if it even makes a difference.

    My one is dreaming of having sex.

    I got in a habit of calling it a wet dream, when it wasn't a wet dream

    This is temporary. It will pass. It's just a sign of your porn cravings starting to fade. Stay strong, and don't give in.

    This only lasted to me 2 or 3 days. It can come back later, but it's not something you have to constantly deal with.

    Tonight I had "dream sex" with my high school crush. I mean, with a stunning (i've heard she has become fat in reality) 28yo version of her that my mind came up with. I've read that certain people showing up in this kind of dream often means, that the dreamer wants to incorporate certain aspects of the person he dreams of into himself. That would make sense this time, as my high school crush was always fun and I totally lack both having and being fun at the moment.
    The setting was more P-like than the dream last week, which I find disappointing considering I'm trying to reboot. With P-like I mean that I woke up ejaculating when she massaged my prostate. Before it was all vanilla, no femdom or stuff like that. Then again, what's wrong with getting a massage? I'll just call it vanilla too.

    I know this is slowly turning into my diary, but thanks to my high school crush I didn't feel any urges today. Flatline approaching?

    No. Wouldn't say that is a flatline. Give it time. I know this is a bit late. But I've been rather engaged with my new job.

    I wouldn't worry about the content too much. Unconscious minds do weird stuff, and I guess it makes sense to your subconscious. I've had some weird dreams that have no connection to anything I actually want, and other dreams that do. What I've noted is that the further on I get in the reboot, the weirder the dreams become, and then they start getting very vanilla and much less frequent.

    Another thing I've noticed, is that when I dream about being in love with someone, whether its a girl I already know or some imaginary person, the feeling will last for hours or days after I wake up. I have a suspicion that it is just leftover chemicals in my brain telling me that I'm in love.

    I haven't had a dream regarding girls ever since I started NoFap, guess this has to do just with sheer amount of p I used to watch. Considering my longest was only 15 days, I should probably not worry about it though. It will come in time, naturally. With some it's a bit earlier, with others it just takes a bit longer. :)
