Wet Dream Forum

I have been recording my WD's since December 2013.

I have noticed an increase in WD frequency during holiday periods. Around both summer and Christmas holidays I had 3 WD's in a few weeks each time. I think it's a combination of changes in stress levels, sleeping patterns and physical locations (sleeping in a different bed often causes WD's for me - maybe that's because I don't sleep as soundly in a strange bed and therefore REM patterns are effected?)

Just wondering if anyone else has noticed similar patterns to WD's?

I've been recording my WD since July 2013, and I can confirm that holiday periods are more prone to WD, at a rate of twice the probability.

Also, it helps a lot if during the holidays you sleep in a different bed, as I do.

Thanks for the response!

I am working on this same theory, Monkeymagic! I really believe that it is the change that affects the psyche enough to, for instance, produce a WD. Those who seem to become depressed are, from what I've read, least likely to get a WD, which is why when people break AB, we tell them not to sweat it!

Since holidays are often accompanied by change in sleep patterns, added excitement, travel, other stresses--it's understandable that our psyche and bodies would put us in that state where we can have a WD.

Totally smart observation, man, and I'm excited to see how this theory develops more. It can help with our overall approach. Wellness, excitement, and change are really good for our bodies, minds, and WD's too perhaps!

Hi MonkeyMagic,

Glad someone else observed this too! I have noticed for many years that I'm much more prone to getting WDs during holidays, and in fact have had one or more during all my holidays, at a much higher rate that when I'm home.

Thanks for the reply!

It would seem that as well as abstaining from MB, changes in environment and stress levels make a significant contribution to WD's.

I have had quite a few WD's when I haven't been sleeping in my own bed.
First ever one was in my cousin's bed.

I think changes in sleeping patterns help too.

In some source I read that WD often happens to those who longer sleeps. When people get up early, they deprive themselves of the opportunity to have a WD more often. So based on this, there was written, that WD is more prone to occur during weekends and holidays.
But in the same source given is the issue of stress and emotional background of the adolescents that they are more often exposed to WD due to increase testosterone levels. Allegedly conducted research that adolescents with high levels of testosterone had a WD more often. So I think that there is a direct connection only between two things. This sleep and testosterone levels. And everything else is already indirect evidence.

Thanks for the response, great info!

So I looked closer at my WD log and actually 8 out of 10 WD's in the past 8 months have happened during holiday periods! It's not the holidays themselves but the change in location, stress levels and sleeping patterns that seems to do it!

I have written about that too. See the wet dream page at HealthyStrokes.com: http://www.healthystrokes.com/wetdreams.html

Wet dreams only happen during REM sleep, and if you're sleeping later than usual, you're having more REM sleep. If your alarm goes off at 6 AM, you're losing any REM sleep (and chance for a wet dream) that happens after then.

definitel i stayed at my bosses holiday house a week ago and my legs were excited just being there and even during the drive there it was exciting.
holidays are a fun feeling that is a fact!
and beaches overall feel nice to lie on a towel at.

I'd have to agree - my WD's have happened more often during my breaks and holidays compared to when working and when under stressed. From a scientific point of view, it's probably related to cortisol levels, which have been shown to reduce the levels of testosterone within the body; which probably explains it.

if this is true then I'll be in for a lot of 'em this holiday

What an interesting theory! Too bad I'll be working even more during the holidays! Even less sleep than I get now!

Thank you! I do truly think it is the case. The interactions in the hormones I described are relatively well known. Which is why I think that even with a busy schedule, you should be able to make it happen, if you adequately relax yourself with relaxation or meditation exercises. At least I've found it helps! So even if you choose to have a relaxing bath or shower just before sleeping, clearing your mind of troubles; then it will probably increase your chances of a wet dream! Hope it helps!
