Is this a wet dream or a relapse?

    Ok so kind of a strange situation here. In the middle of the night I half woke up.

    I was half dreaming about a sexual scene, but at the same time I was partially conscious and awake. Part of me knew it was a porn video, but part of me actually thought it was a real woman and that it was reality.

    I tried to resist but I couldn't, and I started thrusting against my bed whilst my mind now was imagining myself in the sex scene. I started ejaculating only a few seconds later, and I was a bit confused as to what was going on.

    Everything physical about this was identical to a wet dream. As in, almost instant ejaculation with no or minimal stimulation, an orgasm that doesn't feel pleasurable, and no post relapse effects I usually get such as a feeling of regret and drop in confidence.

    The only but I am worried about is the fact that I was half awake, which means I knew somewhat what was going on, which means I had a part in thrusting against my bed and ejaculating.

    Should I count this as a relapse?
     
  2. I don't think so. Sounds to me like you're doing well and the addiction is trying to make a comeback anyway it can. I get your concern that you were half awake, but I think it was really your subconscious just trying to get a nut

  4. That's great bro, don't let this at all fuck with your streak. I've been there more than once and I let the contents of my dream fuck with my mind and I relapsed. If I were you I'd get out of the house or something, go for a run and contemplate how well you're doing.

  5. remember seeing porn can affect this condition and makes dream worse.
     
  6. That is not a relapse. Sometimes dreams feel real but they are not. Forget about it and continue with your journey.
    Remember you only relapse if you are awake and intentionally break your streak.

    Your situation is very interesting, the first time i heard this. I dont think it was a relapse because you didnt had discerniment to know 100% what you were doing, and that lack of 100% discerniment wasnt provoked by you(ex:get drunk with alcohol). So i dont think it was a relapse. But everything is on you, you put your own rules.
