    so I’ve had a few dreams here and there over the course of nofap, but this week it’s been 4 nights in a row of intense sexual dream, which are very vivid and very extreme.

    I tend to have active dreaming anyway and usually anxiety provoking moments happen often in my dreams. While in my PMO addiction I had sex dreams also but not often.

    Has anyone else experience sexual dreams this late in a reboot??? I sure hope they go away soon, cuz it’s messing up my sleep and my mornings! It’s also making recovery harder cuz I’m waking up aroused and ashamed every morning.

    Good news is after my morning routine, I balance out again for the day but the dreams are really intense!

    Congrats to how far you've made it! Especially in hard mode! I just made it to my 180th day. I had some sexual dreams. But they were more frequent in the beginning. Not sure what it means for you to be having it all of a sudden now. I've read some say that it's to release all the sperm that's we're not releasing regularly so that might be why?

    I usually have sexual dreams when I experience hard stress. I think this is how my brain tries to cope with stress. I'm 14 months 'hardmode'.

    I think they happen at different stages for everybody. Some begin experiencing them immediately, some much later. Sometimes they are also accompanied by nocturnal emissions (wet dreams). I had them on my previous streak and whenever I did they would usually trigger a wet dream. So far (knock on wood) I haven’t had them at all on my current streak, which is a relief because I’m attempting strict semen retention this time around too.

    Actually my only sexual dream during alla the streak happened two days ago. I was dreaming i were masturbating on porn, and thinking "oh shit i relapsed! How is that possible?"
    In that moment i wake up and realize it was a dream, didn't even had a wet dream (never had a wet dream during all the streak).

    Btw congrats on your streak

    Thanks all!

    Yea, I’m thinking it’s stress related. I’ve had intense stress for a few weeks with this new job I started, and I think I was in survival mode through it, and now that it calmed down a bit, my brain has time to subconsciously use porn in my dreams to help me cope with the stress, maybe a delayed reaction to the new job stress.

    Another stage of this recovery...

  8. Dude I realized that since I haven't been watching porn I tend to have a lot more real dreams. It has nothing to do with sex, but I realize even talking with a girl over the phone I still feel like I wanna ask her to send some proactive pictures or masturbate. When I start thinking like this I immediately not matter how strong the urge is or desire I switch the stress to something else.

    I’m on 178 day and have sexual and even porn dreams too. It’s started when my libido returned. I think this is reaction to stress and lack of porn.
    Recently, at times when I felt stress, I felt a strong desire to relieve and masturbate.

    Your body might be attempting to have a wet dream. It took my body several tries to finally release because I kept waking up too soon, and when I did release it was in a non-sexual dream, which was strange.

    I've been having intense sexual dreams if not very intense if I oversleep since day 3, I'm on day 14, is it normal, I have a hectic and stressful life?

    Yes. For me it’s normal. Cuz I spent so long using PMO to deal with my problems in life so when you remove it, all of the stress and hectic stuff has to be dealt with instead of using PMO to run from it. So it takes learning how to deal with life in a healthy way and this has a huge learning curve filled with emotional turmoil for a while.

    I don't know why but I like these sexual dreams so much! I'm a teen and they give so much intense pleasure, like my first ejaculation, even though it's just a memory after you wake up. They're so damn strong! I can only imagine at 180 days nofap. Damn.

    Yup, my dreams are intense too! I takes me like 30 minutes in the morning to shake it off of me and for me to get started with the day.

    I had a question, how many nightfalls/wet dreams did you have within this period? Because I think it's impossible to complete challenge without a nightfall or two, especially because of those fantasy dreams.?

    I have had zero wet dreams. I’m not sure why, but I can guess it’s because everyone’s body is different, and most likely cuz I do ZERO edging of any kind! No touching of any kind! And no fantasizing of any kind etc...

    Me neither. Maybe is because of our age?

    Possible but many people said I would lose my urges after age 30 but my PMO addiction steadily increased and it was the worst it ever was over these past 2 years. I was doing all sorts of new a fcrazy things.
