Smurfette dream (biology)

The Smurfette dream is an occurrence that happens to male adult Smurfs in the EMPATH: The Luckiest Smurf story series when they are physically mature enough to procreate with a female Smurf. It is the equivalent to what is often referred to as a nocturnal emission in human biology, which usually happens around the onset of puberty.

In the story "I Dream Of Smurfette", Papa Smurf explains this occurrence to Empath and to his little Smurfs when they first begin to experience the dream for themselves. This noticeably made most of the male adult Smurfs fearful of Smurfette and ashamed of themselves for ever having to experience it, but over time they came to accept it as a natural part of being an adult male Smurf and became comfortable interacting with Smurfette without having to fear that they might hurt her.
