The Sign of Wet Dream

Question
I read in a response that if someone finds wetness in their clothing after sleeping, it is considered a wet dream. Is it a requirement for this wetness to be semen, or could it be from water when relieving oneself and then taking a bath?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: This water does not distinguish itself as pre-seminal fluid or otherwise after sleeping; therefore, it is ruled that washing is obligatory whenever water is seen. And God knows best.
