No prob man

@AP-1138 hey quick question i dont have recollection of a time i mastrbated but I had a dream i did. Does that need to be confessed?😖

How old are ya? From the way you’re speaking, you sound either young or relatively innocent

Nah

Like I said, if it’s a dream, then you’re fine

Don’t stress yourself out too much man

Not good for ya

21 and not innocent but i am willing to repent for what i have done

Ah ok

I’m 23

i guess my question, is it felt so real that perhaps i did masterbate irl.

If it was while sleeping, that’s not your fault

Because you didn’t consciously do it

ah okay thanks I couldnt get a clear answer on the internet.

Part of what makes sin sin, is the deliberate decision to choose it

There is a caveat to consider when talking about moral culpability for dreams, though. You need to avoid consciously thinking back on and relishing the content of such a dream. If you hold on to that memory and use it to fuel lust later, it then becomes a sin. Recalling a dream and fantasizing is morally equivalent to viewing porn, that is, a mortal sin.

@Caedes (crYpto.mdk) I try by meditating on the words of our Father.

Generally most people forget 95% of what a dream consisted of an hour or two after waking up

I trick I found is to not "fight" mental images, that is, active try to push them from my mind, but to get up and do something. Literally anything works.

I wish I could forget dreams. I either don't have a dream, or I have one so vivid I wake up and freak out because I don't know what's going on or where I am.

@Caedes (crYpto.mdk) Yeah thinhs ive been doing differently is wearing double layer clothes.

for sleeping

What? Why?

I just wear shorts and a tee. Too much clothing creates pressure and friction, which provide a stimulus for the dreaming mind to play with.

idk i took that advice from the nternet. I usually sleep in my underwear.

@Caedes (crYpto.mdk) i noticed the opposite.

I sleep in pajama pants and that’s it

It is kinda subjective, I guess.

yeah maybe double clothing is overdoing it

Just a bit

Kek

does get uncomfortable.

I’d imagine

Dreams suck. Mine are pretty rare, but they're either crazy lewd, or horrific. I get what I can only call "flashbacks" to wars I wasn't in. A few months ago, I was in a trench, and we got hit by gas shells. I got my mask on and looked back up to a German driving his bayonet into my gut. I woke up instantly, still looking for my rifle to try and fight back, and I could still feel where I was stabbed half an hour later.

I fall out of bed a few times a year.

Maybe that was you in the past

:V

@Caedes (crYpto.mdk) wow its like we had the same dream

it was trench war with lazers tho.

Kek

it's the worst. The painful dreams are easily two-thirds of them. Lewd dreams are rarer. I mean, I certainly wouldn't prefer the opposite, but shit, man. I wish I could dream less. Beats the time I spent on sleep aids. Ambien gives me night-terrors.
