5 days into the no PMO thing and I keep wondering how my mind and body is responding so I am probably a bit too sensitive, finding things everywhere, no where. Yesterday I was really blue all day, just depressed and flat, emotional, listening to music that was associated with relationship break ups, etc. Anyhow, last night I had this dream where I was with some couples with a girl I was in a relationship with and we were all staying at some cabin, and these couples all wanted to get it on in a full on way as some sort of orgy. Instead I just wanted to be intimate and sensual with my girl, not hardcore, and the couples were laughing at me, suggesting I was a prude or something. I left the cabin to get away. Not sure if thus dream was related, but its interesting that I would have watched these kind of scenes during PMO, but these dreams show some sort of change maybe. Dunno.
Vivid dreams seem to be common during recovery. They often change in content as the brain works out its new direction. Sorry to hear about the depression. Mood swings are normal. http://www.yourbrainonporn.com/i-quit-using-porn-and-now-i-feel-worse
We learned in neurobiology that during sleep the brain reorganizes data similar to a way a computer defragments -and also a full dream is only like 30 sec in real time.
I've had a number of sexual dreams since I quit fapping, previously I used to rarely have erotic dreams.
I've had erotic dreams since I started NoFap, but the type of dreams and frequency of them are more or less the same as when I started NoFap. However, last night and the night before I had successive erotic dreams which is unusual. My dreams always end in disappointment though. My dream last night was set in the village where I grew up and I was back in my teens once again. Two women approached me. One was a women I know who lives in another country, but in the dream she was my neighbour. The other woman just appeared out of nowhere. The two women had got to know each other online and had set up a lesbian encounter. One of them asked me to join in, so we set off walking to see if we could find a comfortable place to lie down. We broke into a house but while we were wandering around the owner came back and we had to run out the back door. We then found an old farm building with straw nearby. I was about to get comfortable when I noticed a big shit in the middle of the straw. The dream ended there. Most of my erotic dreams are the same; just when things are about to heat up, the dream ends or I wake up. Analyze that!
I used to barely ever even have dreams, or even remember dreams if they did happen. I've started having some dreams again, nothing sexual yet.
I've had 2 strange dreams the last 2 days. The first was I was making preparations to get married! (I am single) and was getting all stressed out and I think I traveled to another country for the wedding and was trying to make sure everything was set. Today I dreamt that my roommate had a baby and he went out but let my other roommate take care of and play with the baby in his room. I don't remember many dreams in the past few weeks.
