As the Lord sees you have stopped many things from the past and are trying to overcome sin now so don't give up, but realize it is Satan trying to entice you back into living in this sin and the pulls of Satan are very strong,  but through Christ it can be overcome.   These times we are living in are horrible in sexual sin being  promoted  in us all, so my heart goes out to you in this matter.

Maybe reading the bible before you go to sleep will  help in this matter.   Keep praying and seeking the Lord in his showing you how to overcome it and to reveal it to you what brings this out in you, Christ will show you because the Lord wants you to overcome this sin, most of all because this is where he dwells in the body which is the temple of God.   Music may be the culprit that brings these things to you at night, as Jon suggested, just keep seeking the Lord to reveal what makes this happen at night in your dreams so it can be stopped he will help you, and read that bible at night till you get ready to fall asleep...this will help for sure...

The story of the rich young ruler keeps coming to mind - all these things I have done since my youth up. I suppose in a way that's how I feel a bit here as most of the suggestions that have been given are things that I have done since I was a child, and although I know they help, I also have not found that they prevent either.

If my music is the culprit then I may as well give up now lol! I only listen or play hymns or worship music now. I gave all secular/pop/country etc up a while ago, and burnt the lot of it last nov!!

I will be praying as to where the open door is though, as that too needs to be closed!
