Salaam, need advice about ghusl when intention was unclear

Hey, So last night I had a wet dream but when I woke up it was kind of fuzzy in my memory. Later I took a normal shower, but I made sure to wash my entire body completely-like every part, not just a quick wash. At the time, my intention was just to get clean overall, not specifically thinking 'this is ghusl,' because honestly, I hadn't fully registered that I was in need of ghusl at that moment. After the shower, I performed wudu too. Now I’m overthinking a bit: does that shower qualify as ghusl even though my intention wasn’t focused on it? Or do I have to do it again? It's confusing because I definitely washed everything properly, just didn't start out with the clear thought of it being ghusl. If anyone has some insight, jazakAllah khair, it would really help clear things up.

Bro, you washed everything properly. The intention matters, but Allah is Merciful. If you doubted it, maybe do ghusl again to be safe and have peace of mind.

I've heard scholars say the intent is part of it. Since you didn't specifically intend ghusl, you should probably do it again.

Yeah, do it over. But don't stress, your wudu afterwards is a good sign.
