==Context== Nocturnal emissions can happen after stressful dreams in [[Rapid eye movement sleep|REM sleep]] which activate the [[sympathetic nervous system]], hence leading to ejaculation.<ref name="johnhall2010">{{Cite book |last=Hall |first=John E. |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Po0zyO0BFzwC |title=Guyton and Hall Textbook of Medical Physiology E-Book |date=2010-07-19 |publisher=Elsevier Health Sciences |isbn=978-1-4377-2674-9 |language=en |access-date=2022-10-17 |archive-date=2023-01-13 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230113030031/https://books.google.com/books?id=Po0zyO0BFzwC |url-status=live }}</ref> They can also happen after sex dreams. Nocturnal emissions can start as early as age ten,<ref>{{cite web |url=https://amaze.org/video/puberty-wet-dreams/ |title=What is a Wet Dream? |publisher=AMAZE |access-date=2023-09-14 |archive-date=2023-09-02 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230902080951/https://amaze.org/video/puberty-wet-dreams/ |url-status=live }}</ref> and are most common during [[adolescence]] and early [[young adult (psychology)|young adult]] years, but they may happen any time after [[puberty]]. Men can wake up during a wet dream, or sleep through it, but for women, some researchers have added the requirement that they should awaken during the orgasm, and perceive that the orgasm happened before it counts as a ''wet dream''. [[Vaginal lubrication]] alone does not mean that the woman has had an orgasm.<ref name="Wet dreams">{{cite web|title=Do women have wet dreams, too?|publisher=[[Go Ask Alice!]]|date=1999-05-07 <!-- (Last updated/Reviewed on 2007-04-27) -->|access-date=2012-09-27 |url=http://goaskalice.columbia.edu/do-women-have-wet-dreams-too|archive-date=2012-01-20|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120120200554/http://goaskalice.columbia.edu/do-women-have-wet-dreams-too|url-status=dead}}</ref>
