    Just sayin'.

    I see several people who make comments along the lines of "I wish I had wet dreams," or "too bad I'm not that lucky." To anyone who hasn't had wet dreams, seriously, don't envy those who do. You wake up in the middle of the night convinced that you just relapsed and feeling like absolute crap. You have to calm down and tell yourself that it wasn't intentional (even though it feels like it was). The dream is still very vivid and you can remember all the little details (usually very pornographic), which makes it harder to deal with the chaser. It does NOT feel good, it feels like failure. Utter failure.

    Trust me, you don't want wet dreams. I feel like anyone who makes a statement like the above is just searching for a relapse without the responsibility or consequences of one. I envy you guys, I get wet dreams all the time, especially the first two weeks or so.

    For those of you who do get them: remember that this is natural and it's not a relapse! Just keep strong and don't get distracted by it. Keep a positive outlook and let what happens happen. I look forward to the day when wet dreams aren't a problem, but until then, I'm just staying focused on the present and staying strong! Happy NoFap! :)

    Hey man, thanks for saying this. I hate having wet dreams and it has the same effect on me. I'll stay strong next time it happens.

    I know, I've relapsed many times because of these dreams. My goal is to not give in to those dreams. I think it's a trial most people most go also, at least of you're deciding not to fap out of spiritual motivations.

    I'll share some thoughts on the matter though. You can take control in the dream and make it go away, but from my experience this can only be achieved by strengthening my determination while awake. So while dreaming, usually before I'm about to have sexual intercourse, when some beauty tries to tempt me, or even if she's doing stuff to me, as long as I can get conscious before I get excited and give in, I'll be able to dispel the situation and wake up without ejaculating.

    However, even after passing such a test, it causes me a lot of distress in the days to come, I'm usually more prone to relapse while I'm awake after such dreams. Also if a dream went a bit too far, even if I didn't release, it will still cause me a lot of doubt if I managed my self well. From personal experience, I think how a dreams plays out depends on how strong my resolve is when I'm awake. Once it was very strong I tried telling the girls I don't wanna be like this anymore and that they should try to have more self respect and do something genuinely nice towards people instead, only to see them transform into angry demons infuriated by the fact that I refused them, calling me faggot and a lot of other foul things before they vanished and I woke up drained in sweat and extremely confused.

    This is a hard test, and I've beaten myself up and cried many times over it, asking myself why, why, why can't I control myself. I don't think that's a good solution and would like to give some advice if you're serious about beating this trial: How you react in your dream is all related to your mental state when awake, so from my perspective the only rational way to overcome is by your actions while awake. I've found meditation and reading scriptures to be effective ways to strengthen my resolve, and also when walking in the streets try to ignore sexy girls, not give them any inappropriate attention etc.

    Good luck to you all, and let's prepare well for the next battle. The next time it comes to make us fall and doubt our resolve, we'll make it think twice before coming to bother us again :)

    I cannot describe how annoying these are. I had a wet dream last night. The dream was, I was standing near my bed looking at myself in the mirror an that's it, I exploded. Today I attended an induction for a short course I'm taking, confidence wasn't there, short panics, heart was racing. I don't know weather or not to put this down to the wet dream or not but I'm starting to believe it is. Broken sleep is the worst, and the mess, God the mess. I'm seriously thinking of putting a washing peg on my knob head when I sleep.

    To those who don't have wet dreams, it's a good thing.
