Are my prayers valid or void if a fluid, which I do not know whether it is semen or pre-seminal fluid, was discharged from me after seeing dreams or fantasies about the relationship between a man and a woman, and I did not perform ghusl from it? And must I repeat these prayers, or can they be compensated for by supererogatory prayers?

Ghusl is only obligatory upon certainty of seminal discharge. If you doubt whether the discharge is semen or something else, then you may choose and assign to it one ruling from what you doubt, and in this case, istinja' and wudu' suffice for you, and your prayer is valid.
