It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that once Hazrat Umm Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with her) asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that if a woman also sees a "dream" like a man sees, then what is the ruling? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If a woman sees such a "dream" and experiences discharge, then she should perform ghusl (ritual bath). Umm al-Mu'mineen Hazrat Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) submitted, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Can this also happen?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Yes! The fluid of a man is thick and white, and the fluid of a woman is thin. Whichever of the two prevails, the child resembles that one.
