Dreaming During Reboot

Hey everyone,

I wanted to initiate a convo about rebooting's effect on dreams. I'm just over two weeks in and have noticed a lot of dream activity—a few sexual fantasies, one scene of embarrassment from and shame in my porn & masturbation issue, and one straightforward nightmare (rare for me).

PMO has generally been something I've done right before going to bed, if not IN bed, so it has undoubtedly influenced the mindset I go to sleep with. I've been leaving my phone in the living room and intentionally relaxing before falling asleep, and I think it's making my dreams more vivid and, for that matter, more interesting from a psychoanalytic perspective.

What have others found?

 

I haven't heard anything about "unable to have dreams at all," @Anonymous86 . I don't think I've had enough dreams to say whether they've bent toward "bad" or "good," but I think I would say that they've been more visceral these past two weeks. A lot of the deeper psychological contents that I'm digging up through NoFap and simultaneous therapy are surfacing in my dreams.
