    Today was supposed to be my 11th day of PMO but during the night I had a wet dream.
    During the dream it felt so real that I sit in front of my computer and just search hard for porn videos and find one and just wake up and ejaculate.

    Listen, I've been trying for several years to quit this and this time I really felt that this would be it. During these 10 days, not only did I not get frustrated with porn, but I didn't look at social networks at all and at any little thing that could turn me on, there weren't even thoughts about porn/masturbation.
    I felt that I was becoming a different person, stronger mentally, I started taking cold showers, I felt more confident with women and they approached me more, I started going for a walk in the mornings and I really felt that I had left the porn behind but then the night came and crushed my hope.
    Wet dreams happened to me a lot during a period when I didn't masturbate but it happened when I was watching some videos while I was doing it and I took myself to the edge and I understand why it happened then but I have no idea why it happened now I didn't do even one stimulating action during those 10 days.

    Now I'm the same loser that was at the beginning of the streak and all my motivation has gone to waste and I have to start from the beginning.

    Finally I wanted to ask if I can proudly mark the 11th day today or do I have to start the count from tomorrow and today is considered a failure Because I really didn't do anything to deserve a wet dream.

    A relapse is when you masturbate and/or watch porn, you did neither. Carry on.

    First, you are not a loser. Secondly, yes you are on day 11 and tomorrow will be day 12. :) A wet dream is not a relapse.

    Wet dreams (featuring graphic sex or even porn use) are not always because of sexual stimulation beforehand. After ten days without ejaculating semen, your body needed to jettison your cum and replace it with a new batch. It is more of a physical or physiological response than a sexual one. Just be aware that you might feel more horny for a day or two. :rolleyes:

    Wet dreams are not a reset/relapse.

    Wet dreams are natual male biological functions - they are not resets or relapses.
