Why am i getting frequent erections while i'm sleeping, even though i'm not dreaming any sexual thoughts...

NPT: Nocturnal penile tumescence (NPT) is common and normal. All men without physiological erectile dysfunction experience it up to five times during the night, typically during REM sleep. It is not necessarily related to sexual thoughts or dreams.
