Hi. I’ve been streaking at 22 days then I fell, then 7 days and now a wet dream.
my question is:
a) technically speaking, does this make my streak go down (because it’s not explicitly porn or masterbation) especially from my understanding there was no negative thoughts that I can remember, defiantly not so that I can remember during the day, or even in the dream Besides for waking up to the feel?
b) any divrei chizuk one can share privately. Thanks.
First of all congratulations on your amazing clean streaks! Keep it up and keep on sharing such great news.
A wet dream is NOT considered a fall, it's to be expected and normal, due to the subconscious mind's "thirst" for this pleasure that one has B"H stopped providing it with. If one is not lusting during the day, and doing what it takes to stay clean, and even so has a wet dream, he should not worry one bit. In fact he can congratulate himself that his subconscious has "realized" that he stopped these bad behaviors. The good news is that eventually, the wet dreams subside.
Sometimes an unprovoked wet dream is a good sign. Your subconscious mind is getting the message that consciously you are not doing this stuff any more. Yes, it may be unpleasant, but the good news is that eventually they recede too as you rewire your brain.
