There is this very close friend of mine that use to have wet dreams constantly. He visited a doctor about it and was told that there is nothing wrong with him and that he is very healthy.
Well,he just met a pastor about it an was told that he was posessed and needs serious deliverance from witchcraft attacks.
Do you beleive any of this? I just don't know what to beleive.

Tell your friend to ask his pastor how many times the pastor has been 'possessed.' Ask how the pastor was delivered away from the witchcraft that physiologically affects every healthy male.
If wet dreams have NOT occurred in some males at least a few times, from the onset of puberty and onwards, it is likely that something is physiologically or psychologically out of balance in that person.
Your friend needs serious deliverance away from his pastor, who is voicing fearful superstitions instead of facts. The pastor is preaching a fearful control tactic, not a healthy, God-based piece of information, and the pastor probably doesn't even realize what he's saying. This is the whole point - the pastor is ignorant of the NORMALCY of physiological male body function.
Want me to send him a textbook? lol

The pastor's job is to provide information about God & how to live a good life. The doctor's job is to keep people healthy. Since this is NOT a spiritual issue, the doctor's opinion wins. Wet dreams are a normal part of puberty, as I understand it most males experience them occasionally. Are we to believe that most males are being attacked by witchcraft?

I think the doctors opinion wins too. But the guy don't understand it that way. He keeps saying " imagine what it means to go to sleep and wake up 10mins. later with your boxers full of sperm?"
He enjoyed it initially,but not now. he h'd give a lot to stop it.
Thank you for your response anyway.

I'm with mmiller on this one. That pastor is abusing their position of authority by filling this confused boys head with complete B.S.!
I guess there is one association though, when I was a teenager I would have like to wet-dream about Neve Campbell in "The Craft". Unfortunately it didn't happen so i ahad to use my conscious imagination instead! lol

No, not in any way. It is because the Prostate gland is kicking in. It gets stimulated by being squashed as the bladder (situated right by it) fills up during sleep. That's why young lads also wake up 'with a stiffy'.
Hope this helped.

In this case, like the most of the other posters here, I would say the doctor is correct. Your friend is just going through something that every male does. Whether or not more than 3 times a week is normal, is hard to say. As long as the doctor didn't find anything wrong with him, he will probably be fine--outside of the inconvenience of waking up that way.
As far as the pastor is concerned--in my opinion, he shouldn't have that title!! Apparently something is wrong with him--he can't face his own demons and such so he has to put all his fears into others, which is wrong!
Good luck! :)

NO. The doctor is correct. It's a perfectly natural phenomenon, very common when a person is growing up. There is nothing supernatural or "witchcraft" related going on here. Someone should smack that pastor upside the head with a brick for spewing such bullsh!t.

I do not believe this. Your friend just needs to dream about other things. Ask him if he has an attraction to someone? Maybe he is under a lot of stress? He could have gone through a tramatic experience? That may be the answer. If you believe in witchcraft, you make it real, if you do not believe in it, then you make it false. Everything lies in the human mind. The mind controls everything.

I don't believe it for a minute. We can't control our dreams. My partner has only had a couple of wet dreams and we thought it was because we were slacking on the horizontal boogie.
Here's a Wikipedia link about wet dreams.

That pastor is an ignorant person, and people who believe that crap are just as ignorant. Wet dreams are just a part of life, a part of growing up, and a part of male biology. There's nothing abnormal or evil about them.

just to add. if he's not getting rid of it in those ways. the body has to get rid of it somehow, it doesn't have much of a shelf life, and the body doesn't keep it for long periods inside, as it's not healthy for it to do so.
if you think about it, it can't be healthy for short lived cells to die off and stay inside the body.

wet dream is common, but if it happens frequently it is not good. why is because he gets so weak in the morning. it is not witchcraftiness but it called incumbus or sucumbus. it is an evil spirit that sucks blood from its victim. he should pray very well before going to bed. Or he should let to wake twice before day breaks.

oh, thanks for the corrections. i hope you have understood my point, most are very canal, they don't understand things of the spirit. that is why on mylot here many people post discussions on ghost attack and pursuit. it is because they are canal, they don't know God.

Oh my! Where did this pastor got the idea that your friend was posessed by some witchcraft or something. Having wet dreams are normal for boys, however, adults have them too sometimes. Come to think of it, maybe the pastor is in the right track when he said your friend is posessed. He is posessed not by demons however, but maybe by some dirty thoughts before he sleeps at night. LOL...
