The cure for obsessive thoughts (waswas) is to ignore them and turn away from them, because they are from Satan to hinder one from worship.
(ritual bath) is not obligatory unless you are absolutely certain that semen, which necessitates ghusl, has exited. As long as this certainty is not present, your acts of worship and your prayers are valid.
If you doubt the nature of what exited during sleep, you may choose to decide its ruling.
