These kind of symbolic and scary (or sexy) dreams are more common than you think on NoFap.
Many ancient cultures believed that when you start to make yourself more "holy" and more strong by stopping your addictions and resisiting temptations, then evil spirits (demons) would come into your dreams to test and break you, either through sexy seduction or fear. Fascinating topic really.
What you saw sounds possibly like an "succubus" or "incubus"....Read these 2 wikipedia articles for more info:

If you relapse, try to do it once only. Then start NoFap again immediately.

Also this shit is not helping with my energy levels or confidence even at 45 days in. I need to get my hormones checked.
Nothing strange there....you are just entering the flatline phase. All men on NoFap go through that.

It's a good question and I can tell you there is not definitive answer on this one yet. Some people say you lose them, others say they come back quicker.
The only way to test this is to fuck girls but not ejaculate at all. Google a technique called "karezza" (also called "Coitus reservatus") for more info. Not easy to do, so only for guys with very serious self control.
I'm pretty sure that forgetting about all this shit is the key to nofap.
Stop counting days you're on nofap. All it does is put pressure on yourself.
Here are the keys.
- Forget about it. You don't masturbate anymore. You only get off when you fuck women.
- Benefits are whatever, focus on what you need to get done ie: job, money, lifestyle, etc. Benefits will manifest automatically.
- Stop worrying about picking up or getting women. When you don't give a fuck, and stop worrying what other people think, women get attracted.
- Worry about triggers. Triggers for me include: day after a bang with a new girl, hangovers, and boredom. When you realize what gets you jerking off, you can easily move on to other things.
- Be as social as possible. You WILL attract good looking women on nofap, and the reason being that you become much more primal and aggressive and you stop giving a fuck.

I'm a believer in what objectively works. NOFAP works if you see the underlying reasons why. Here they are, and here are why so many people suggest different things.
1. You become incredibly horny.
2. You become very bold.
3. You take chances you normally wouldn't.
You will get laid with nofap if you go out and be yourself. Be weird, be nerdy, be fucking strange, it doesn't matter. You can't literally do anything you want to do, and if it's authentic will most likely attract at worst a few decent looking women.
Listen to advice in this thread, but just DO IT, and enjoy life way more. NOFAP is very beneficial. Posting things like "Day 2, Day 6, Day 14, etc" will only keep you focused on jacking your meat. Forget about masturbating, it isn't part of your life anymore, and go live it Fap free. Trust me, you'll thank me later on in life.

I also started to believe this after analyzing the dreams I was having, especially on this attempt (two weeks in now). Quitting smoking was a walk in the park compared to this.
My thirst for cigarettes also stopped. Haven't smoked in a week and half. Confess, I was no nicotine addict before that, but still I smoked couple cigs every day.
I'm on day 45 of noporn still jerkin' it, abstaining from that comes later, perhaps when I've hit 90 days of noporn. Overall I feel as though my mood is elevated and overall more even keeled. I noticed right around 15 days in that my dreams were more vivid, including the first time I ever remember a dream that was completely in black and white. The past few days I've also had some rather dark dreams like other posters here have mentioned. Since my birthday is in Feb. I figured that would be the best present I could give myself. Anyways will report back when I hit 90 days.
Edit: I also did a month moratorium on facebook during Feb. I didn't miss at all.

I ended up breaking my phone, which gave me no source to turn too, I lasted a week and still fell, but I don't enjoy it anymore. And I am working on getting rid of this habit for good.
Relapse. Need to form a plan when the urge strikes. Fell to the temptation around 03:00 am. Couldn't sleep because of the urge. Anybody tried cold showers or working out when this arises?
Tomorrow will be day 12 for me, and that combined with taking zinc and copper I feel like a fucking monster. I did two solid cold approaches today and got two numbers and I have a date with a third girl Wednesday.
One thing that sucks though is how sensitive my dick is. I was doing a few sets with my ab roller the other day. My dick hit the floor during my first set and I was rock hard through the rest. I couldn't even finish.
Made it to 5 months. This weekend was tough as my harem is absolutely falling apart. I was still taking the 5 G's so I was extremely horny. Sunday I called up a plate from the minor leagues and got rid of the urges. I should be good for next weekend...when I will get on the prowl again...
It's been a few days, but I've been having more patience,joy, and energy to work and enjoy life. I don't have no phone to watch porn, how's everyone else doing? Anyone ready for summer?
Approaching 4 weeks. It was no-fap-no-porn-no-sex till this morning when i finally blew my load in a Brazilian babe. Massive load condom could barely contain.
I'll be heading off to vegas for a very long weekend where i am meeting someone one of the days so it should be guaranteed i get laid unless i fuck it up.
The challenge will be after i get back. I currently don't have anything lined up and frankly way to busy to be heading out so it will be a tough 2nd month.
