If by "wet dream" you mean a nocturnal emission, there is no precise female equivalent, because women rarely ejaculate fluid at the point of orgasm (there are exceptions, but we won't get into that right now). On the other hand, women do have nocturnal orgasms, though not so frequently as men.

It's estimated that by age 45, 40 percent of all women have had a nocturnal orgasm at least once, compared to 80 percent of males. Fewer than 10 percent of women, compared to 50 percent of males, report having nocturnal orgasms more than five times a year. Men often experience their first orgasm during a wet dream, but women rarely have nocturnal orgasms until they have had orgasm by some other means first.

In both sexes, nocturnal orgasms are often accompanied by erotic dreams, but that's not invariably the case. Wet dreams usually make little impression on men, but women sometimes have quite vivid sexual dreams in connection with nocturnal orgasms, so much so that on occasion the dreamer may believe she has actually had sex.

Medieval theologians posited the existence of "incubi," demons who had intercourse with women while they slept (the "succubus" is the equivalent for males). Witches claimed to have had intercourse with the devil in this way, and were sometimes put to death on account of it--a grim indication of the depth of male paranoia regarding female sexual response.

whoah, that is NOT TRUE. I am a female and i have wet dreams. maybe i'm just a really sexual person, but i've actually orgasmed in my sleep before.

Hi Slen
It's just the body's way of getting rid of sperm if you are not sexually active. Nothing to worry about.

Semen accumulates at a pretty much constant rate. If it's not released other ways, a man's "wet dreams" or nocturnal emissions are the normal way to excrete the unused semen. A guy who has sex or masturbates regularly has fewer, because he's already released it.

Yes, all men have them after puberty.

Men have sex on their mind more becuase of their testosterone levels. Women with higher levels of this are normally ones to be a little more like guys in their thoughts. Girls who have less of this, tend to be the opposite.

Hi women do have wet dreams belive me its happened more than twice to me! Also tell me are you craving for sex? Or you must be dreaming of sexual pleasure. It happens to me when I watch a film with sex in it.
