Complete collection and description: a prayer from defilement in a dream for a woman for the spiritual life of a believer.

Prayers from defilement in a dream, masturbation. When is the prayer from the nightly desecration of Basil the Great read?

Many processes occurring inside a person are beyond his control. This is understandable, because our flesh is the most complex mechanism that operates according to the laws established by the Creator. But, having given man freedom, He endowed him with the ability to decide for himself - to keep himself in spiritual and bodily purity or to indulge in filth. In order to support a person in the fight against temptations, prayers were sent down to him from defilement.

Different interpretations of the concept of defilement

One of the most common forms of desecration of the flesh is male sin in the form of nocturnal ejaculation (pollutation) or dreams of an erotic nature. It should be noted that the definition of this category of sin by modern clergy is largely at odds with how it was understood by many pillars of Christianity in past centuries.

Suffice it to recall that in the famous Rules of St. Athanasius the Great it is said that the involuntary discharge caused by a dream, in which scenes of his copulation with his lawful wife, appeared to a man cannot be considered a desecration. In this case, a prayer from defilement in a dream is not read, of course, if we are not talking about periods of fasting. It is also important to note that the generally recognized theologian recognizes as a sin not the very eruption of the seed - this is only an external consequence, but the desires that gave rise to it.

In the grip of sinful thoughts

According to the teachings of the holy fathers, the causes that give rise to involuntary outflows are divided into six main categories, and the last three are not considered sinful. In considering them, one usually begins with carnal thoughts and lusts, since these are the most common.

Of course, sinful thoughts and the voluptuous desires they cause visit people of all ages, but young men and teenagers are most susceptible to them. Especially often the devil spreads his nets to monks, who, due to the peculiarities of their way of life, are deprived of natural marital relations. In order to strengthen them in the fight against carnal temptations, there is a special monastic prayer against defilement, read both in cases of attacks by the evil one, and for their prevention.

Deliberate stimulation of lust

Of course, both carnal thoughts and lusts can be caused by purely physiological causes, in which there is no human fault, but the fact is that often, instead of trying to reduce their impact as much as possible, people deliberately kindle and stimulate them, eventually finding satisfaction in masturbation.

To do this, the devil presented them with a wide range of tools and instruments. This is watching a certain kind of video materials, and reading relevant literature, and talking on topics that a pious person is unworthy to touch on. In all these cases, especially if they are accompanied by masturbation, human guilt is undeniable.

In order to resist the devilish machinations, there is a prayer from the desecration of masturbation, which anyone who is subject to this misfortune can easily find in the Complete Prayer Book. However, it should be remembered that one reading of the text is not enough. You need a sincere desire to defeat evil and tireless control over your own thoughts.

Path in the devil's web

Another cause of defilement is arrogance and pride. Here we should immediately make a reservation that in this case we are talking not only and not so much about night outpourings, but about the desecration of the human soul and body as a whole. To be convinced of this, it is enough to carefully consider both of these concepts, which carry a sinful basis.

Arrogance is not the ability to think in high categories, but only a consequence of an overestimated assessment of one's mental abilities. There is a lot of talk about pride. Hardly anyone can doubt its perniciousness. Both one and the other property induces a person sometimes to consider himself above the generally accepted moral principles.

He, without hesitation, goes beyond the bounds of both religious and universal norms, and therefore becomes an easy prey for the devil, luring him into his nets. Unaware of the danger, he, even if for one reason or another does not commit a physical act of adultery, willingly indulges in it in his thoughts, which ultimately leads to defiling outpourings. In this case, prayers from defilement will have a beneficial effect only if his forces are consciously directed to the eradication of the root causes of sin - overwhelmed by his arrogance and pride.

In the grip of gluttony and drunkenness

The third reason for the outpourings considered sinful by the church is gluttony and addiction to alcohol. They are grave sins in themselves, producing a string of harmful consequences. However, some explanations should be made here, without which the further story will be incomplete.

The sin of misusing the gifts of God

According to Christian canons, food is not something sinful. Without it, nothing living can exist. Sin is its immoderate consumption, colloquially called gluttony. Not only priests, but also doctors warn about its harm to humans. Excessive calories provoke lust in a person, the result of which are thoughts and desires, causing nocturnal outpourings that defile a person.

Wine or any other alcoholic beverage is not a sin in and of itself. Suffice it to recall how Christ at the wedding in Cana of Galilee turned water into wine, thereby blessing him. Sin is drunkenness, that is, the abuse of wine. It is quite obvious that under the influence of an excessive amount of alcohol, a person, having lost control over his thoughts and emotions, can become an easy prey for the devil, who directs his consciousness to sinful thoughts.

Wine and bread are the gifts of God, but both in the first and in the second case, it is necessary first of all to control yourself while eating, and even more so when drinking alcohol, so as not to turn them into destruction for your soul. Only in this case, prayers from defilement, if nevertheless there is a need for them, will bear fruit.

Natural and therefore sinless causes of ejaculation

In addition to the above three causes of involuntary, mainly nocturnal ejaculation, there are three more that are caused by completely natural causes and do not contain anything sinful that can defile a person. First of all, this is an absolutely normal manifestation of the activity of the male seminal glands.

The Lord Himself arranged our organism in such a way that these important organs cannot remain inactive for a long time. If the product they produce turns out to be unclaimed, they simply throw it out at the first opportunity, and there is nothing unnatural in this. If sometimes mothers panic when they find suspicious stains on their sons' sheets, then this is solely due to their ignorance. In this case, prayer from nightly defilement is inappropriate, of course, if the outpourings are not caused by masturbation.

Diseases and their consequences

Following further, it is necessary to mention such a cause of wet dreams as physical weakness and illness. In this case, it is absurd to classify them as manifestations of sinfulness. The Christian Church, deeply humane in its essence, has always called for sympathy for all those suffering and afflicted with ailments. According to its canons, for example, even the most serious sin - suicide - is not imputed if it is committed by a mentally ill person.

Illness and physical weakness are also sufficient grounds for a complete exemption from fasting or for its significant mitigation. So that the ejaculation caused by the weakness of the body of a sick person, in no case can be blamed on him. In this case, as in what is described above, prayers from defilement, if they are read, are purely preventive in nature.

Satan's Attacks and Dealing with Them

And finally, another reason why erotic images can visit men in night dreams, entailing involuntary ejaculation, is diabolical pretexts. Sometimes the enemy of the human race, having lost hope of leading a person into temptation and inclining him to the path of sin, chooses a moment when his consciousness is paralyzed by sleep and is able to freely let in any vision, from which he would certainly recoil in a state of wakefulness.

In this case, the brain, being a prisoner of diabolical visions, involuntarily gives a command to all organs subordinate to it. The heart begins to beat rapidly, the chest heaves in intermittent breathing, and the seminal glands, deceived by a false alarm, prepare the product of their activity for release. For people subject to this misfortune, the only effective means of struggle may be prayer from the defilement of the body.

Prayer is an effective weapon in the fight against the evil one

It is known from the writings of the most ancient church fathers that from the first days of Christianity, after Jesus Christ destroyed the centuries-old kingdom of hell with his Resurrection from the dead, the forces of darkness constantly strive to avert His adherents from fulfilling the Divine commandments, one of which prescribes to avoid adultery, as physical, and spiritual, created in our minds. To this end, the progenitor of evil seeks to defile the souls and bodies of people, especially during the hours of night sleep.

To resist him and his army, numerous prayers were created, among which the most famous is the prayer from the nightly desecration of Basil the Great. Written in the 4th century, it saved many generations of Christians from the depths of hell. They resort to it in especially difficult cases. But not only it can become a worthy weapon in the struggle for one's own purity - spiritual and physical.

Experienced confessors recommend combining it with such well-known texts as the worship prayer to the Heavenly King, the Fiftieth Psalm, and the phrase “Lord, have mercy!” pronounced forty times! In this combination, prayer from defilement is most effective. When the entire set of these sacred texts is read, the Grace of God is invoked to help the Christian soul, capable of tearing it out of the hands of the evil one. In this article, there was a conversation about men and the temptations that lie in wait for them. All of the above applies to a large extent to women, of course, adjusted for their physiological characteristics.

Prayers from defilement in a dream

If at night you had an erotic dream with an orgasm, or you were raped, or you were subjected to other influences of this nature - in Orthodoxy this is called desecration in a dream. In this case, in the morning you need to read the rule “desecration in a dream”.

Rule from desecration

Prayer to the Holy Spirit

The King of Heaven, the Comforter, the Soul of Truth, Who is everywhere and fills everything, the Treasury of the good and the Giver of life, come and dwell in us, and cleanse us from all filth, and save the Blessed, our souls

Trisagion

Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal, have mercy on us. (Read three times, with the Sign of the Cross and a bow from the waist).

Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and forever and forever and ever. Amen.

Come, let us worship our King God. (Bow).

Come, let us bow down and bow down to Christ, our King God. (Bow).

Psalm 50

Have mercy on me, O God, according to Thy great mercy, and according to the multitude of Thy mercies, cleanse my iniquity. Wash me most of all from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin; for I know my iniquity, and my sin before me is taken out. I have sinned against you alone and done evil before you; as if you were justified in your words, and conquered when you judge Ty. Behold, I was conceived in iniquity, and in sins my mother gave birth to me. Behold, thou hast loved the truth. Sprinkle me with hyssop, and I will be cleansed; wash me, and I will be white as snow. Give joy and joy to my hearing; the bones of the humble shall rejoice. Turn Your face away from my sins and cleanse all my iniquities. Create a pure heart in me, O God, and renew a right spirit in my womb. Do not cast me away from Your presence, and do not take Your Holy Spirit away from me. Give me the joy of Your salvation and confirm me with the Sovereign Spirit. I will teach the wicked in Your way, and the ungodly will turn to You. Deliver me from blood, O God, God of my salvation; my tongue rejoices in thy righteousness. Lord, open my mouth, and my mouth will proclaim your praise. As if you would have desired sacrifices, you would have given them: you do not favor burnt offerings. Sacrifice to God the spirit is broken; a contrite and humble heart God will not despise. Please, Lord, with the good will of Zion, and let the walls of Jerusalem be built. Then be pleased with the sacrifice of righteousness, an offering and a burnt offering; then they will offer bullocks on your altar.

And the troparia, tone 7:

Good shepherd, laying down Your soul about us, the hidden secret, done by me, the only good, save me with the mind of the erring one, and save me from the wolf, Lamb of God, and have mercy on me.

I am weighed down by the sleep of despondency, I am darkened by the charm of sin: but give me the morning of repentance, enlightening the eyes of my mind, Christ God, the enlightenment of my soul, and save me

With the mist of sin and the sweetness of life we weave the mind of my accursed soul, it gives birth to various passions, and does not come to the thought of compunction. But have mercy, O Savior, my humility, and give me the thought of compunction, but I will save you before the end, I will cry out to Thy goodness: Lord Christ, my Savior, save me desperate and unworthy

Prayer 1, Saint Basil the Great

Paki commemorated by the accursed mind and crafty custom, working for sin. Paki, the prince of darkness of passionate sweets, the parent, create me tribes, and like a humble servant of that desire, and the desire to work carnally forces me. And what will I do, my Lord, and the Deliverer and Intercessor of those who trust in Thee, if not to Thee again I will return and fast, and I will ask mercy for what I have done; but I am afraid and trembling, but not always confessing, and turn away the evil ones, conversing, and sinning for every hour: and not giving up my prayer to Thee, my God, I will lift up Thy long-suffering over indignation. And who will endure Your wrath, Lord; Knowing, therefore, the multitude of Thy bounties, and the abyss of Thy philanthropy, again I turn back to Thy mercy, and I cry out to Thee: if I have sinned, forgive me. Have mercy on me, the page, give me a helping hand, immersed in the mire of sweets. Do not leave, Lord, Your creation to be corrupted by my iniquities and my sins: but by Your usual mercy and goodness we compel, deliver from the feces of foul bodily and passionate thoughts that always defile my wretched soul: behold, Lord; as if you see, there is no place in it that is clean, but all leprosy, and the whole body is covered with an ulcer. Ubo Himself, Lover of mankind, Physician of souls and bodies and Source of Grace, cleanse that of my tears with the flow, pouring these on me abundantly: pour out Your love of mankind on me, and give me healing and cleansing, and heal my contrition, and do not turn Your face away from me Yes, not like a thing will give me a fire of despair: but like Thou didst say, unfalse God, like great joy happens in heaven about a single sinner who repents, do this on me a sinner, and do not close the ear of Thy goodness, in the prayer of my repentance; but open them, and as if incense, correct it before Thee: weigh the weakness of nature, the Creator, and comfort the creep of youth, and the heaviness of the body, and despise sins, and accept repentance of those who call Thee with truth. As if blessed and glorified, Thy most honorable and magnificent Name, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and ever and forever and ever. Amen.

Prayer 4, St. John Chrysostom

Lord, do not deprive me of Your heavenly blessings. Lord deliver me eternal torment. Lord, whether in mind or thought, in word or deed, I have sinned, forgive me. Lord, deliver me from all ignorance and oblivion, and cowardice, and petrified insensitivity. Lord, deliver me from every temptation.. Lord, enlighten my heart, darken the evil lust. Lord, I am like a man who has sinned. You, as if God is generous, have mercy on me, seeing the weakness of my soul. Lord, send Thy grace to help me, may I glorify Thy holy name. Lord Jesus Christ, write me Thy servant in the book of animals and grant me a good end. Lord my God, even if I have done nothing good before You, but give me, by Your grace, to lay a good beginning. Lord, sprinkle in my heart the dew of Thy grace. Lord of heaven and earth, remember me Thy sinful servant, cold and unclean, in Thy Kingdom. Amen

Lord, receive me in repentance. Lord, don't leave me. Lord, do not lead me into misfortune. Lord, give me tears, and the memory of death, and tenderness. Lord, give me the thought of confessing my sins. Lord, give me humility, chastity and obedience. Lord, give me patience, generosity and meekness. Lord, instill in me the root of the good, your fear in my heart. Lord, grant me to love Thee with all my soul and thoughts, and to do Thy will in everything. Lord, cover me from certain people, and demons, and passions, and from all other unsimilar things. Lord, weigh as you do, as you will, may your will be done and in me a sinner, as if he is blessed forever. Amen.

Prayer 5, to the Most Holy Theotokos

To Thee, the Most Pure Mother of God, as the accursed, crouching, I pray: weigh. Queen, as I sin without ceasing and anger Your Son and my God, and many times I repent, I find lies before God, and tremblingly repent: is it possible that the Lord will strike me, and by the hour I will do tayaje; leading this, my Lady, the Lady Theotokos, as if by no means an imam in hatred of my evil deeds, and with all my thought I love the law of my God; but we do not know, Lady Most Pure, from where I hate it, I love it, but I transgress the good. Don't let it go. Most pure, my will be done, it’s not pleasing, but may the will of Your son and my God be done: may it save me, and enlighten me, give me the grace of the Holy Spirit, so that I would stop from now on foul deeds, and the rest would live in the command of Your Son, Him but all glory, honor and power is due, with His Father without beginning, and His Most Holy and Good and Life-giving Spirit, now and forever and forever and ever. Amen.

Amen.

The Christian life consists of more than just going to the temple, which actually takes up a very small percentage of the time. An important component of spiritual growth is the fight against sins. One of the grave types of temptations are carnal sins, against which it is customary to read the rule against defilement. In what cases is it necessary, how can the attacks of the unclean be reduced?

What is desecration

The Old Testament righteous adhered to the laws of ritual purity, which are described in the Pentateuch (Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy). These are very complex rules, which, however, should not be confused with hygienic ones, since they had, first of all, a sacred meaning. After the advent of the New Testament, Christians were freed from them, but still baptized people must adhere to certain restraining rules, without which it is impossible to achieve spiritual growth.

For example, how can a person who is obsessed with gambling or drinking claim to be saved? At the same time, he can perfectly understand church rituals, perform them, confess and take communion, but still he does not become righteous. After all, it is not going to the temple that creates salvation, but a change in the human soul, which should be manifested in pious behavior.

The rule against defilement is intended mainly for men. It appeared in the monastic environment. They are known to take a vow to abstain from intimacy with women. But after all, not only the very fact of intercourse is considered a sin, but also dreams about it. This is a source of strong temptation. That is why women were previously generally forbidden to appear on the territory of male cloisters (and vice versa).

It was allowed only very rarely to visit relatives in monasteries or to come to Sunday services. Women were not even supposed to serve in the homes visited by the bishop. And the priest who served the Liturgy for the sisters had to spend the night outside the walls of the monastery.

Desecration for a man is considered such an eruption of seminal fluid, the fault of which was a dream, or watching movies, masturbation. In this case, you should read the rule from the desecration of Basil the Great. It is also necessary to tell the confessor about this, especially if everything happened on the eve of Communion. The priest himself will decide whether it is possible to proceed to the sacrament, or whether one should abstain.

What is sin

For women, there is no separate rule from defilement. But they can also have night dreams that end in a similar way to an act with a man. Of course, carnal desires are peculiar to people, but they must be satisfied with a spouse, in a legal marriage. If a woman is lonely, one should fight with passions, read prayers, repent. Over time, desires will become less, it will be easier to cope with them.

Other weaknesses can also provoke prodigal thoughts:

susceptibility to overeating, gluttony - immoderation in eating directly leads to inflaming the flesh;
drunkenness - when a person drowns his will in wine, then most likely then he will have to read the rule from defilement, because drunkenness and fornication very often happen in one place, at one time.

There are also other types of defilement. For example, being in bad company, which David warns against in Psalm 1. Although here much depends on the purpose for which a person communicates with sinners. The apostles tried to teach the faith to everyone, including the villains. But joint entertainment, cohabitation is unlikely to be useful. Communication with heretics can end up with the fact that the person himself will adopt their views.

Moses taught that the following deeds should be recognized as defiling:

fornication, including incest;
worship of idols (this number includes sorcery, reading horoscopes, turning to sorcerers, fortune-telling);
murder (including bullying, driving a person to suicide, leaving in danger);
contact with a corpse, a sick person, any other ritual unclean.

For the first three offenses, if they were proven, the Old Testament Jew was going to die. Firstly, then there was no rule against desecration, compiled by Basil the Great. Secondly, and today for the murder, for example, will have to bear heavier responsibility. According to church canons, the guilty person of this sin is entitled to strict penance in the form of excommunication.

How to atone for sins

There is no such person who does not violate the commandments. All are sinners. Even the saints were sent illnesses and trials to forge their spiritual world in the crucible of suffering. Therefore, after the fall, one should never fall into despair - this is a sin against the 1st commandment, which teaches you to love God and trust Him. Would a father leave his child, who stumbled and fell, lying in the middle of the road with a broken knee? No, he will pick him up, take pity on him, carry him in his arms.

Only Christians should not be completely like children, they should read the prayer rule from defilement in order to show God their readiness for change. This should be done after the usual morning prayers. Then, at the next confession, be sure to repent of sin.

The prayer rule against defilement includes pre-initiatory prayers, Psalms, troparia, bows are made, a prayer to the Mother of God, compiled by the ascetics John Chrysostom, Basil the Great. The reading itself does not take much time, only it is necessary to sincerely repent.

It is also possible to listen to the rule against defilement, but at the same time it is necessary to concentrate the mind, it is better to follow the text with your eyes. If thoughts wander at this moment, no one knows where, a person falls into pure sin - inattention to prayer offends God.

the text of the prayer of Basil the Great from defilement:

Many-merciful, imperishable, not defiled, sinless Lord, cleanse me, Thy indecent servant, from all filth of the flesh and soul, and from my inattention and despondency, the uncleanness that has arrived to me, with all my other iniquities, and reveal me undefiled, Master, for the goodness of Thy Christ , and sanctify me with the invasion of Your Most Holy Spirit: as if I were awakened from the darkness of the unclean ghosts of the devil and all kinds of filth, I will be honored with a clean conscience, open my filthy and unclean mouth, and sing Your all-holy name, the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, now and forever, and forever and ever. Amen.

Question #426
How to relate to nocturnal involuntary expiration in a dream?
Vladimir 15/09/2002
How to relate to nocturnal involuntary expiration in a dream? What are their reasons? How to deal with it?
Father Oleg Molenko's answer:
You should start by studying the canonical rules on this issue:
St. Peter archbishop. Alexandrian Rule 4:

Those who have had an involuntary nocturnal discharge, also let them follow their conscience, and let them examine themselves whether they are in doubt from this or not: just as the Apostle says about food: if he eats with doubt, he is condemned. And in this case, let everyone who approaches God have a good conscience and boldness, according to their own thoughts.
Epistle of St. Athanasius the Great, Archbishop of Alexandria to the monk Ammun:

All God's creations are good and pure. For nothing unprofitable or unclean has been created by the Word of God. For we have the fragrance of Christ in those who are being saved, according to the Apostle. Since the essence of the arrows of the devil is different and diverse, and he brings those who think immaculately to indignation, distracts the brethren from the ordinary exercise, instilling in them the thoughts of impurity and defilement: then, by the grace of our Savior, in short words, and the evil deceit, let us banish, and the thought of the simplest let's confirm. For the pure, everything is pure, but for the unclean, the conscience is defiled and that's it. I am surprised at the trick of the devil, that he, being corrupt and destructive, apparently puts in thoughts of purity. But what he does is more than a slander, or a temptation. For, as I said, in order to distract the ascetics from their usual and saving care, and in this, as it seems to him, to defeat them, for this he stirs up such a rumor that does not bring any benefit to life, but only empty questions and vainglory, which to avoid must. For tell me, beloved and most reverent, what has a sinful or unclean natural eruption, as, for example, if someone wanted to blame the flow of phlegm from the nostrils, and the spitting of the mouth. We can say more than this about the eruption of the womb, which is necessary for the life of the animal. We also believe, according to the Divine Scripture, that man is the work of the hands of God: how could a defiled work come from pure power: and if we are the race of God, according to the Divine Scripture of the Acts of the Apostles: then we have nothing unclean in ourselves. For then we are only defiled when we commit a sin, the worst of every stench. And when ANY NATURAL INVOLUNTARY ERUPTION HAPPENS: then we are subjected to this with others, as was said above, out of natural necessity. But since those who want only to contradict the just words, more created from God, wrongly cite the Gospel word that what comes in does not defile a person, but what comes out, then this absurdity of theirs (for I can’t call it questioning) must be reproved. In the first place, out of their ignorance, they misuse the scriptures as unconfirmed. The understanding of the Divine word is the following: when some, like these, doubted about food, then the Lord himself, resolving their ignorance, or rather, exposing their error, said: what goes in does not defile a person, but what goes out (Matt. 15:11). Then he adds: from where it comes out: from the heart. For he knows that there are evil treasures of bad thoughts and other sins. In short, the Apostle, taught this, says, food will not set us before God (1 Cor. 8.8). Blessedly can anyone say in the present case: some kind of natural eruption will not lead us to punishment. Maybe even doctors (let them be convinced, at least by outward opposing ones) will say in defense of this that the animal has been given certain necessary outcomes for depositing an excess of moisture nourished in each of our members, such as excesses in the hair on the head, and moisture from the head separating and emanating from the womb also that excess, which is in the seminal vessels so God-loving elder, WHAT IS THE SIN BEFORE GOD IS HERE, when the Lord Himself who created the animal wanted and created that these members have such outcomes. But it is necessary to warn the contradictions of the evil ones. For they may say: therefore, there will be no sin and the use itself, when the tools are arranged by the Creator. We will force such questions to be silent, saying to this: what kind of use are you talking about: is it legal; whether about that which God allowed, saying: be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth (Gen. 1:28); or about that which happens between people, but takes place secretly and adulterously. For in other cases of life we find a difference that occurs due to certain circumstances, for example: it is not permissible to kill: but to kill enemies on the battlefield is both lawful and worthy of praise. Thus great honors are granted to the valiant in battle, and pillars are erected to them, proclaiming their excellent deeds. Thus, the same thing, depending on the time, and in some circumstances, is not allowed: but in other circumstances, and in good time, it is allowed and allowed. So it is necessary to reason about bodily copulation. Blessed is he who, in his youth, having formed a free couple, uses his nature to bear children. But if to lewdness: then fornicators and adulterers are subjected to the punishment announced by the Apostle (Heb. 13:4).
Ammun, to whom the letter of St. Athanasius is addressed, was a famous Nitrian monk. The reason for writing it was that many monks were strongly tempted by night dreams and especially wet dreams - the involuntary expiration of semen. Ammun turned to St. Athanasius for clarification, who develops in detail and deeply the idea expressed in the 4th canon of St. Dionysius of Alexandria.
Holy Timothy canonical answers:

QUESTION 12:
If a layman who had an impure dream asks a clergyman: should he be allowed to receive communion, or not?
ANSWER:
If he is subject to the lust of a wife (woman), then he should not take communion: but if Satan tempts him, so that for this reason he is alienated from the communion of the Divine Mysteries, then he must take communion. For otherwise the tempter will not cease attacking him at the time when he should partake.
Let's summarize:
So, in itself, the natural and involuntary flow of semen during sleep, like voluptuous dreams, is not a sin, but is called natural pollution. Why is the rule in these cases called "the Rule against defilement" and not against sin. For women, such a natural defilement is monthly bleeding, during which one should refrain from taking communion (except for death cases, when women are given communion regardless of menstruation) and touching shrines (you can and should use holy prosphora and holy water, only from your personal vessels) .
Nevertheless, one must check one's conscience about the cause of these outflows, for the cause may contain sin. There are the following causes of nocturnal involuntary ejaculation:
Overeating from the passion of gluttony is sinful, and one must repent of gluttony.

Drinking wine (and other types of alcohol) from the same passion is sinful, and one must repent of drunkenness (excessive use) of wine.

Fornication in the thoughts, allowed during the day before sleep, is sinful, you need to confess fornication thoughts.

Prodigal view of the female sex, paintings, various porn, films, sculptures, paintings, etc., copulation of other people or animals - it is sinful, to repent, for arbitrary inflaming through the view and for not keeping sight while not wanting to see such pictures.

Fornication mental pictures, dreams or memories of fornication are sinful.

Excessive laughter, panache, the desire to please women, carnal vanity, greasy (i.e. fornication) jokes and anecdotes, stories, conversations, swearing are sinful.

Pride, arrogance and vanity are sinful.

Judging others, especially for prodigal sins, is sinful.

Elegance, luxury, excessive bodily rest are sinful.

Laziness, doing nothing, idleness, excessive sleep are sinful.

Physical illness is not sinful. The rule from desecration prevails.

Fatigue of the flesh, overwork, burdening of the flesh is not sinful. Sufficient rules from desecration.

Special circumstances when a passionate person is allowed to be overcome with fornication (from among the sins that are not sane), for example: a person, against his will, was closed in a limited space with a beautiful woman, who testifies to the desire for copulation, or, for example, when a person was poured against his will and desire an aphrodisiac, or by magical art they brought fornication - it is not sinful. The rule from desecration prevails.

Temptation from the devil out of envy for success in the work of salvation is not sinful. Commendable. But it is better to read the rule against desecration.

The temptation from the devil, when he tries to confuse the very fact of involuntary ejaculation and drive into despair and despondency, is not sinful. The rule from desecration prevails.

Temptation from demons, when they try to lead a person away from communion with night expiration, is not sinful. The rule from desecration prevails.

For those who have succeeded in the fight against prodigal passion, for those who have bound this passion, or for those who have achieved passionlessness, in order to save themselves from exaltation, there is a special permission from God from demons who do dirty tricks in the flesh, like the Apostle Paul:
2 Corinthians 12:
7 And so that I would not be exalted by the enormity of the revelations, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, the angel of Satan, to oppress me, so that I would not be exalted.
8 Three times I prayed to the Lord to remove him from me.
9 But the Lord said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my strength is made perfect in weakness." Therefore, I will much more willingly boast of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me.
- sinless, very commendable, but it is better to read the rule against defilement.

It is always useful to reproach oneself for sinful or natural weakness and humble oneself before God.
So, in itself, involuntary ejaculation is sinless and it is impossible to fight with it - for this is nature. It is necessary to fight with some sinful causes (mentioned above) leading to it, through repentance, prayer, confession, communion, church prayers, reasonable abstinence and other bodily exploits, humility, self-reproach, the memory of death and eternal torment, reading the relevant passages of Scripture and the works of saints fathers, frequent confession, keeping the mind, purification of thoughts, patience of sorrows, etc. and so on..
