Wet dreams are a nightmare!

A few thoughts come to mind:
A. Going to a doctor won't necessarily help. Doctors aren't wizards (sadly).
B. I agree with you. I also get a lot of wet dreams and hate them too.
C. Have you tried drinking green tea before you go to sleep? It's helped me somewhat.
D. Lastly, don't forget that until you get older (say, 40s-50s) you'll still experience wet dreams every now and then. Wet dreams at a low rate are considered natural, annoying as they may be.

 

This is an interesting situation and I wish I could help more. Do you watch a lot of porn without fapping? Are these wet dreams a result of the activity in your dream, like getting intimate with someone in your dream? Wet dreams are typically normal for someone that goes 3-4 weeks without PMO. Do you find yourself longing for a relationship? Your real life situation can shed light on to why you have these types of dreams if they are dream related. Is there a special someone in your life that you want to be with that can't? Stuff like that can be the cause. I hear cold showers help with no fapping, maybe it can help you with your wet dreams too..

 

I don't go to the gym but I do exercise a lot on my own. Although lately not so much because of a knee injury. In any case, I haven't found that exercising helps in terms of wet dreams (in terms of the reboot in general, it helps a lot).

Yeah, I get that. Just tell yourself there's nothing you could've done (besides any techniques you usually use + controlling your thoughts) and get on with your life. Keep moving forward.

The reason could go in either direction: either guys you know lead healthy, PMO-free lives and as such have perfectly clean minds and bodies, therefore rarely getting wet dreams, or, unfortunately, more likely: they PMO so much that their body has basically gone dry during their sleep. That's mostly how it was for me for a year and a half before I started rebooting.

 

The more your desire is to PMO or be in a relationship the more likely you will have a wet dream. If you were watching porn and not fapping then that could be the cause because that means you are feening for the feeling that P gives you, you are training your brain that you desire it and then your subconscious brain is acting out on it at night. Something to note about the morning time, your testosterone level are at its peak in the morning so that can be why they happen then. Also, working out reduces the desire for sex and redirects your energy into something positive. I do it 3 times a week at least. That can help. Try waking up before you usually have the occurrences for say a week and see if that helps.

 

Yes a normal man can live without wet dreams and nofap. Look for the other thread for people that have never had wet dreams and go without PMO

Haven't reached a year yet (I still have about a hundred days), so I guess I'll get back to you on that. But yeah, right now it seems to be the direction that's going in. Been clean for over 250 days and I still get a lot of wet dreams. Once or twice a week on average. A normal person gets them once every 1-3 months...

 

I will take the relationship part back and say the desire for sex or pleasure

 

Rewiring the brain takes 63 days according to Caroline Leaf, Neuroscientist.

the way I have been doing it is feeding myself as much information as I can on NoFap. Why is it beneficial to not watch porn, to not masturbate, for semen retention. Why is it bad to release your life force, bad to watch porn. Watch enough of these and feed your subconscious something else. I started a thread for videos that are helpful to watch. If you find good videos, please post

I wouldn't say I am good because I have urges on the regular but so far it has been working and this time has been different. I feel much different then the other times I have tried to stop. I would have very crazy dreams with hardcore scenes etc but I don't have those anymore. The urges have been strong but not as strong as in the past, mostly because I try to shut them down. I go to this forum a lot and write down my struggle. I have learned more about myself, gained more confidence and my life is more balanced than ever. All in 17 days since joining nofap, so grateful!
