The answer

If semen is discharged during sleep and comes out after waking up, the fast is valid and is considered a wet dream. However, if one is awake and semen is discharged due to fantasies, some scholars hold that the fast is not invalidated. One must be careful not to indulge in sexual fantasies and strive to abandon them.
