Pornographic dreams during reboot: am I crazy?

I actually had the exact same thing last night. I dreamed about watching porn. I can still remember how ashamed I felt. You can imagine how happy I was when I woke up this morning and realized it was just a dream.

 

Pretty sure it's normal, your brain trying to get its fix by making its own porn when you won't let it look at porn. It's going through cold turkey.

You can't control your subconscious, not directly anyway, so just think of it as a sign of progress.

 

Yes I've been through the same thing. I hope it helps that you think this is normal now. How are things progressing? It is strengthening me knowing that you guys are fighting this as I am.

 

It isn't just you. I had dream where I relapsed. I can't tell you how relieved I was when I woke up.

 

Those dreams seem to be normal. I think the way you put it - the rewiring of the brain - is a good way to hold it.
I have had dreams like that and felt awful about myself.
We have wired our brain to go that way, and it's just firing.
While not a neuroscientist, I think it's a good idea to relate to it like a last gasp of the neural pathway as it dies!

 

Totally normal. I've had several over the last week.

 

I haven't dreamed of porn per-say but my relapse 11 hrs ago was in part due to erotic dreams that were extremely vivid. One of them actually had me grinding against my mattress while I was asleep. I stopped the second I realized what was going on.

But they were all extremely vivid, of my wife, and felt so real that I was disoriented when I woke up. They left me horny for the entire day and after a couple of days of that I lost strength and relapsed.

I had hoped that those meant I was close to having wet dreams but alas no.
