    So I've noticed that when I go through a day resisting my brain's craving to look at P or a weird fetish I am trying to get rid of, I notice that, that night I have a realllly vivid dream of that fetish or P.

    its as if the brain is TRYING to hold on to it.

    Does this happen to everyone?

    Also the more effort it takes to resist the more vivid that dream is.

    Yes it does, your just having flashbacks and you do have to check them mentaly, not ignore them, but perhaps acknowlege them and then at the same time remind yourself that its no longer a trigger or that you conciously decide and tell yourself I don't do that any more.

    So don't resist, it takes time, looks like you been rockin 32 days which is good, but at the same time, don't fight it, but every time it come up , associate at new patern with you, remember your rewiring neural pathways in your brain.

    Hmm well the first night after i decided to NotFap i had a dream how i couldn't keep an Erection cuz i already go PIED. Then the next day i had a dream about fetish as well. It is possible that your brain wants that stimulus cuz its making you feel good but you are resisting. Ive known people who had it and the only cure is time. You'll be ok, just don't relapse :)

    haha well actually that is a little misleading. the other week i BINGED LIKE CRAZY! I PMO'ed, 5 times that week. so ive started over and now im almost finished with Day 4.

    i had a vivid dream last night about the weird fetish.

    like i said, i noticed that harder your brain tempts you and youre able to resist it, the more vivid the dream. i guess it is necessary for the rewiring process.
