    Last night, I remember in a brief portion of a dream that I stumbled upon some sort of pornography (nothing crazy, pretty vanilla sex). Is this anything that could hold me back? Seems pretty out of my control, but I remember even in the dream going "I can't watch this." And then continuing to for a little bit and stopping. Idk, I don't feel that it hinders me, more so just shows that sex is on my mind. Lol

    The same thing happened to me many a times. This kind of dream is a "warning" sign that comes prior to a nocturnal emission/wet dream. It is actually a reaction induced by your brain since it is now getting deprived of porn stimuli. Since you won't PMO, then the brain has to look for alternate ways to keep up the DHT level in your head. As a result, you will begin to see sexually arousing dreams. But since you have developed "I can't watch this" attitude towards porn stimuli, these sex dreams won't turn to a disastrous wet dream. But remember, the brain eventually wins, despite your attempts. So be careful for the coming few days.

  6. Remember that wet dreams are actually a natural way for our bodies to remove sexual tension and ejaculate. It's common and normal for someone who's abstaining from PMO to experience wet dreams eventually. I've personally had 5-6 of those during my current streak. I actually had 3 wet dreams in a row quite recently, but there's not much I can do about them. I did stimulate my mind 2 out of those 3 nights prior going to sleep, so I think I would've had only one or 2 wet dreams had I not stimulated my mind. So "Try not to think about sex before bed" is a good advice if you want to avoid these things. However, should you experience one yourself, d0n't take it as a set back. Take it as a gift.
