Wet dreams are something that happens to most boys who are going through puberty. They are a spontaneous orgasm that happens while you are asleep, and usually while you are dreaming. You may wake up to discover you are still experiencing the contractions. Or, you may discover that your pajamas, shorts or the sheets are wet or soiled with semen.
You may also discover you will continue to have wet dreams for many years, into adulthood.
Girls and women experience similar lubrication, with or without orgasm, during sleep. But they don't have the mess of wet sheets afterward. Without this evidence, they may not be aware that the wet dream occurred. Under-reporting may be the real reason girls seem to have them less often.

It's important that you understand that what is happening is normal and it's likely that most of the people you know have had a similar experience.
It's not something you are causing by anything you are doing or not doing. It's a part of normal human development.
