What exactly is a wet dream? Is it different then fantasy?

Discussion in 'Rebooting - Porn Addiction Recovery' started by vishop, Apr 3, 2021.

  1. So I had a wet dream last night. I couldn't sleep and some geek culture was going on in my mind which made me little stressful. But I still slept early in the morning and thats when I had the wet dream. The dream was weird to say the least. It was a dream within a dream. Honestly I have been having wet dreams for last 5 or 6 months or so. Last time I had this when I was having a one month PMO. I have tried mediation or tapping, stuff but it isn't helping really.
     
  2. Wet dreams are an expression of desire, the natural desire for sex. When you are asleep your mind isn’t restricted by your conscious rules that you have placed on it in society, it is not inhibited by constraints and expressed itself more freely. Many people here have them because there is an excess buildup of sexual energy that is not be transferred into other areas of life. So when you have this sexual buildup your body is going to find a way to release it so you don’t do harm to yourself. It does it at night when you sleep.
    You can avoid these releases by using that energy and focusing toward being productive in other areas of your life.

    Most importantly don’t feel any shame or regrets if you have one. Do not attach yourself to wanting them either just allow it to happen and pass. Over time you will get better at harnessing that energy into all areas of your life.

    You can stop wet dreams by trying and stop fantasizing in your head. It is the main reason for frequent wet dreams. The body doesn't need to release sperm a lot, so if you've been having them a lot recently, you need to try and stop having sexual thoughts, you can do that by learning meditation, occupying your mind with something which makes you busy, or by making real sex if that's possible and it's not your objective to abstain completely.
    But having them once in a while is completely natural.

    I think you should not worry about them in the beginning, when you try to stop PMO. Later when you get free, you can start minimizing triggers and thinking about PMO stuff, and then it will be very minimal. The less you think about it, the less you will have it. But not when you are just in the beginning of recovery
     
  5. Honestly I am not exactly sure what are sexual fantasies. I thought it was our mind picturing sexual thoughts when you are triggered by anything P related or urges of watching P.
    But when I had a wet dream last day, I am pretty sure it was my subconscious that manifested the dream from my memory. It was almost a sexual fantasy. Although at times it could just be anything that is not even P.
    I guess I am stretching myself too much on this.
     
  6. Its been happening for months now. Last day when I had the wetdream, it could just be I was stressed by last days' work because I wasn't able to sleep that day for that. You have had wetdreams?

    I just had one last night. I think I saw too many triggers yesterday and spent too much time on nofap forums :D But in my wet dreams, I do not see anything, I just wake up and have minor emission after I wake up.

    If you can, prevent yourself from sleeping on your back or on your belly (best sleep on your left side and on the right side during the second part of the night). Empty yourself before sleeping and don't eat at least 2 - 3 hours before going to sleep (if possible even 4 hours). Minimize triggering things that you see during the day.

    Most of the time the wet dreams comes from succubus, sexual/porn fantasies and memories that invade in dreams. Wet dreams doesn't happen only on nights, but days too when taking naps, so they're random.
     
  10. Thanks You for your suggestions. I will check this through. I guess I haven't think it through about my sleeping activity. It helps a lot.
