    Two days before, i got a porn dream in which i dreamed about watching porn. It was strange. I was going through flatline.

    When i woke up next day all the bad mood, anxiety, depression, mood swings and headache were gone. After that i am feeling like - i have PMOed in real life.

    My penis is feeling same as it used to feel before starting NoFap.

    Ugh my brain is very clever :-/.

    I am a bit confused wtf has happened. Has anyone else experienced it ? Should i reset my timer ?

    Yes, your "brain is clever," but that is really just a piece of your brain, the piece that wants what it wants when it wants it. It wanted the thrill of O and thought it was about to get one, but you stopped it. If it can get you to give in now, it will win. Stay strong, do not let it manipulate you.
    Different psychologies have different names for that part of your brain beginning with Freud's calling it the "id". You are in control of the going on's in your head. You stopped your dream, you won that round, and now you just have to be careful that you don't want to lose the spin after the debate. So what if you feel crappy, you won don't let that feeling get you down. Good athletes feel very sore after their wins; they cheer after the game, but the next day they may not feel like celebrating anything. That is a pain of victory, and soon it all fades, leaving only the joy of the victory. Relax, enjoy your victory, and your nagging feelings will disappear soon. You are good; keep counting your days of freedom!
    I hope my English does not confuse you. How many languages do you speak?

    Thanks for cheering me up. I am feeling very motivated after reading your reply.

    Well I know English and Hindi. But my English is very weak.

    Actually, you communicate well in English. Those languages are so different; that would make learning English very difficult.
    Keep up the good work towards freedom and keep using your English to let us know how it's going.

    It's probably because u feel u need to restrict sexual stimulus at all costs and maybe u feel that there's fine line between pmo and sexual stimulus,, Maybe u put guilt on urself after the dream.. Feel guilty only when u pmo, everything else is something else.. If there is anything clever about ur brain, it's the fact that it created a porn dream and gave u the illusion that u relapsed, so that it creates doubts in u to lead u to an "actual relapse."
