Did you know?
- In Spanish, the term poluciones nocturnas describes the physical event, but the word polución is also used in a completely different way to mean 'air or water pollution'.
- While 'húmedo' is a common way to say 'wet', applying the adjective húmedo directly to a person in a social context can carry heavy sexual undertones that a learner might not anticipate.
- While sueños húmedos is the literal translation, the word polución in this context comes from the Latin 'pollutio', meaning 'defilement' or 'staining'.
