Wet dreams, or nocturnal emissions, typically occur during the REM (rapid eye movement) stage of sleep when dreams are most vivid. They can be triggered by sexual thoughts or fantasies, hormonal changes, or even physical stimulation during sleep. Many people experience them during puberty due to heightened sexual awareness and hormonal fluctuations. Factors like stress, arousal from day-to-day experiences, or simply the natural physiological responses of the body can also contribute. It’s a normal part of sexual development for many.
