What do wet dreams mean?

Wet dreams hit me very hard at first and put me in a flat line for months… I have a few wet dreams every 1-2 weeks, throughout the reboot. Over time, they hit less and less. You just don't see the progress, I'm sure they've become less pronounced in you too, just a few days after orgasm. This is already progress. My case is similar to yours, I can say that I was healed by 80-90%.
I have gone through depression and anhedonia, anxiety. The penis is big most of the day and has its own natural strength, which I have never known before in my life.

So, all your symptoms are gone ? Such as anhedonia and Flatline/no libido/genital numbness ? Was it only a matter of time or did you do anything in particular during recovery ?

Yes, the symptoms have become less intense with each reduction I've had, but they still have a bad effect on me.

It also depends on how much sperm I lose and how severe the orgasm is.

Today on day 6 I had another wet dream but this one wasn't as bad. It was a dream about a fetish and I was looking at a screen in this dream. Cum came out but luckily not as much as usual. There was no real pleasure/orgasm. That's why this wet dream didn't have as bad an effect as the others.

It's so strange. I said yesterday that I had an important day at work today and that I wanted to avoid a wet dream at all costs and yet it still happened. Even if you don't want it so much. I always have a wet dream after about 6 - 7 days. 1 time a week on average.

I believe that my private part is still too small and not the natural size. Blood seems to be flowing properly there after the flatline.

Maybe meditation and kidney strengthening exercises can come to your rescue against WD.

If you want to take antidepressants then go for it. But do you think they are going to help or heal? Even if you take them, don't make it an excuse to go back to your old habits.

I believe that healing from the flatline continues to happen, even if we take antidepressants.

Antidepressants ensure that we can cope with our everyday lives.

These are two different things that happen.

As I said. I have no experience with antidepressants. I have never taken any.

What? PMO does have to do with dopamine...why are we asking this? It's on YBOP.

I have taken them in the past. But then I was not retaining.

When I first started nofap, wet dreams would have a slight effect on me. I'd feel groggy and a bit more tired than usual, sometimes I'd feel a slight chaser effect. On my current streak of one year I've had probably 60 or so wet dreams. They seem to happen in clusters, I might go three weeks without one and then I'll have three in a week, or I'll have two in one night, or four in a row, or none for six weeks. There doesn't appear to be any pattern to them and I'm not doing anything different. Initially my wet dreams would just be me waking up to find I've ejaculated. Over time they would then be accompanied by a sexual dream, I would wake up or at least become conscious just as it was happening. The last wet dream I had was different to all the others. It was more intense and it actually felt good. I laid there for five minutes afterwards as it was such a powerful experience.

I feel zero negative effects from wet dreams, even when I had three in the same night. Yet one time during this streak I woke up from a sexual dream, grabbed my D for a few seconds, let go and ejaculated. I was aware of what I was doing but I barely even did anything and it happened so quickly. Afterwards my genitals basically retracted into my body for weeks, I felt tired, my head felt weird, my mood was worse, I had diarrhea and so on.

Some are able to ejaculate consciously and feel fine. I guess it just shows we have different sensitivity levels.

@Experiment1996 were your symptoms worse from MO than wet dreams? Or the same?

I had 5 MO relapses about 6 months ago. The symptoms definitely got worse with MO.

I'll come back to you.

I don't think so. I've tried so many things and nothing seems to work.

What experiences have you had?

Gorkhaliwarrior · Feb 17, 2024

I wast serious about retaining back then. But they did nothing apart from making me more numb to my emotions. I tried almost every meds available. But nofap+antidepressants might help.

No? Then so what does PMO have to do with, in your honest opinion?

I'm thinking about taking antidepressants if I have a wet dream tomorrow. I am not functional at all for about 24 hours after a wet dream. I just lie in my bed and do absolutely nothing. It destroys me.

I had a relapse yesterday afternoon (i didn't reset the counter cause the media wasn't exactly P nudity, etc.) and after looking up what POIS is i think that's what i have.

Can you describe what you feel a little more accurately?
