Question: I am aware that wet dreams mean that the male has reached orgasm during sleep, I would like to know if the same is possible in females. Basically, is it possible for females to reach orgasm during sleep. I awoke one morning and my pc [pelvic] muscles were contracting like crazy, it was by no means an unpleasant experience.

Answer: Women experience sexual dreams and nocturnal orgasms too. They are also referred to as "wet dreams," to the best of my knowledge. It sounds like you may have experienced an orgasm while you slept, and woke up during it. I am aware of other women experiencing the same thing. There are women who wake up after, only being aware of their increased wetness. The pelvic muscles may contract for other reasons while you sleep, as a result of a non-sexual dream, or perhaps sleeping in a position that strains the pelvic muscles.
