A wet dream or prone masturbation ?

    I'm really confused . This has happened to me several times . While I'm asleep on half of my stomach (I try to sleep on the right side but I'm used to that position) I ejaculate . Mostly early in the morning . The amount of semen is more than the normal wet dream's . I'm asleep and this happens unintentionally but I'm kind of aware when the ejaculation happens , and sometimes wake up right after it . I remember that I may have had both of this and a casual wet dream in one night but I'm not sure .
    I'm not resetting my counter because this happens unintentionally and I believe that our reboot is more mental than physical . But I would like to hear some opinions about this . How can I prevent it ? and is it a set back in your opinion ?
    Thanks in advance . And best of luck to everyone !

    I don't know how much this is setting you back. There is the psychological issue of quitting (your mind), and then there's the neurological issue of your brain being accustomed to dopamine from pmo. I don't know if these ejaculations are continuing to have the same effect neurologically when you're asleep as when you're awake though.
    I agree that this shouldn't set your counter back, especially if you are quitting for moral or religious reasons. If you don't do it at least partly of your own free will, then you shouldn't feel any guilt over it.
    As for stopping it, you could try to consciously condition your feelings about it to view it as bad/undesirable. That might allow you to make it stop even when you're semiconscious.

    Many of my relapses are a result of prone masturbation. I'm used to it. But my wet dreams were usually when I lied on my back at night!

    I suggest you clear your head from all fantasies and sensual imagery. Before you sleep, do a 10 minutes meditation. Also, most nights I sleep, I put a wallet on my penis underneath my clothes or a plastic wire. That prevents your penis from having contact with soft things and rub against it. It works. We're the unlucky fapstronauts :D we must have other precautions!

    Thank you @Icyweb and @KeenEye
    So I have those as my best bet :
    -Sleeping on the side (left is recommended)
    -Not drinking or eating right before sleep (1 hour is recommended)
    -No fantasizing , edging or looking at P subs
    -using a wallet or a plastic wire as suggested by @KeenEye
    -A spoonful of honey before bed may help
    -Staying away from silky pajamas may help
    -Meditating before bed
    collected them here so that others may get some info from it as well .
