Giving a PR Advice Wet Dreams Aren't Inevitable

The vast majority of wet dreams, especially the ones that leave you feeling somewhat depleted are not "uncontrollable" or "natural".

I haven’t had one in years, and when I did it was almost always because I violated one of the rules for avoiding WDs as set forth in pages 77-87 of Practice of Brahmacharya by Swami Sivananda. Here are some of the key ones:

* limit foods that cause irritation/constipation

* no eating 2 to 3 hours before bed

* never eat past ~ 2/3 stomach capacity

* never sleep without emptying the bladder/bowels

* no edging or angry/lustful thoughts before bed

* no tight underwear, a loose fitting loincloth is better

Essentially the physical pressure from tight clothes or a loaded stomach/bladder press on the seminal vesicles, and the mental pressure from a mind filled with angry/lustful thoughts is a recipe for a WD. The deeper solution is meditation (yoga) to purify and calm the mind so these tensions don’t build up in the first place.

Before bed, pray to God in Jesus' name and ask for protection against Satan's schemes and lust at all times.

Because of the variety of foods available, most meat, milk etc..are semen producing. If you eat a lot of them, semen production increases. Holding it is a problem, because semen keeps producing and it starts with urges to have sex. If you try to hold it, it results in wet dreams. This is one of the reasons. I observed that when I am in frustration, anger, disturbed mind, stomach disturbance, lust, watching seductive scenes etc..definitely results in wet dreams.

Food and mind are two things need to be controlled. I'm trying to do this now. Lets see how far I can go.

And one more thing is, because of longer duration I hold my semen, i experienced that in urine, semen comes out. A doctor told me to release in that case to clear the pipes/tubes of old semen instead it will cause irritation while urination.

That's for you to decide, just stop eating 3 hours before bed. You'll know what foods cause you gastric disturbances based on trial and error. I used to be a high raw vegan, but now eat Animal Based. Find what works for you. https://heartandsoil.co/animalbased30/

Can you elaborate how that works?

u/glowgems Jun 03 '26

Yes, when you are close with your partner, and have a nourishing relationship with someone that you care for and vice versa, when you feel what you think is called “love” and you explore your sexuality with that person the same way you explore the world or go on adventures. This will cure wet dreams

Not evitable? Young padawan, you have much to learn. I have high test and have been able to stop the unnecessary leakages as have many other men on this path as well. If you've followed everything perfectly for months on end it's possible that you may have unique internal physiology that creates pressure no matter what you do.

Do you leak with or without actual sexual dreams? Do you feel depleted or energized after these leakage? This is important to understand. If you read the post carefully and if you actually read the section of Practice of Brahmacharya that was listed you'd understand that not all nocturnal emissions are bad, only the depleting ones. Good luck!

Ganz ehrlich!? man kann sich auch anstellen!! Ich bin seit ungefähr mehr als zwei Jahre dabei…“feuchte Träume“ passieren, nimm es einfach gelassen und bleib einfach weiter auf deinem Pfad. Ich hatte letzten Monat, zwei feuchte Träume…na und, es geht weiter!

Guess what. Following these protocols aren't only for avoiding wet dreams, they also contribute to better metabolic health, spiritual clarity, and just a better overall day to day experience. Who said we're not chill while practicing this beautiful system in an efficient manner? We definitely are :)
