How to stop dreaming?

  1. Hi, I am trying to stop the addiction, but all these dreams about women and sex are killing me. How to stop it, meditation maybe?

    I had many of those when I first started rebooting too man, it gets better, you just gotta pull through it. It's basically a withdrawl symptom.

    I don't know how to stop this kind of dreams, too, but may be you can learn to just not put so much weight on them? Dreams are random and nonsensical. Yes, they might hold a deeper meaning, but this certainly won't be a message to yourself saying that you need to fap or get laid now. Just stop caring about them. Let them come and let them go, as you do with any sort of urges.

  5. Earlier this year when I started this journey I had lots of crazy sex dreams during my first period of abstinence. I still have them occasionally but long periods in between now.

    Here's what helps me. And I realized it's not for everyone but for me it's beneficial.

    First I write down immediately what the dream was about. I have my cell phone close by so I can write it out in the notes app. I leave out the erotic details.

    Then after writing about the dream itself I write an analysis of why I had that dream: What was going on in my life that would bring that dream on?

    Then after the analysis I'd consider what lessons I could learn from the dream. What situations to avoid. What I needed to change in my thinking. What daily routines I could do differently to avoid temptation.

    -----

    In my daily life another great help is that I'm getting involved in things that are taking up my time so I don't have any left to get into porn. When I'm not engaged in these new hobbies I'm thinking about what I'll do next to further engage in these hobbies. My mind is being taken up by other things than thinking about women, sex, and porn.

    -----

    Hope that helps in some way. Don't give up. It's not an easy battle but it's worth the fight.
