Return of the dream thread?

fuck you.

it's not cool to watch someone punched in the torso until their insides are ruptured and visibly bleeding under their skin, then the assaulter(s) press on their ruined body until they vomit blood.

you missed anything of importance by being a giant faggot.

[deivi]

guess I can go to bed on that note

[Callisto]

I dreamt I had gotten some really, really good fucking food, italian beef/sausage combo and 2 loaded chili dogs and a strawberry shake from Portillo's, woke up hungry as fuck and realized it was just a dream. Ruined my entire fucking day, I was really bummed out.

[Shiroikage]

Did you eat it before waking up?

[Callisto]

nope, woke up expecting to be about to eat it

[Shiroikage]

dang dude

[Ivve]

fuck, that's almost as bad as sex dreams where you are totally about to get it on with someone blistering hot and then wake up before anything even begins.

[Woozie]

I can't ever recall my dreams, haven't been able to for years.
Explain that to me, people who think dreams mean something.

Weed.

[Charismatic]

Are you telling me to smoke it or saying it's because of weed?

Spoiler: show

I don't do drugs

[Woozie]

numbers i had a weird-ass fucking dream too.

since you mentioned you're a lucid dreamer: do you experience sleep paralysis?

oh well; that shit actually happened to me again today. at what point do you usually become self-aware in your lucid dreams? most of the time i only do for a short period before i wake myself up.

I have lucid dreams and sleep paralysis all the time (usually a lucid dream ends in sleep paralysis for some reason, though I have sleep paralysis MUCH more often than lucid dreams). Just as in your case, my lucid dreams is usually a short time period and then I wake up.

One time I had one of those falling dreams and it became lucid while in midair, so I let myself hit the ground just to see what would happen. It just turned into sleep paralysis.

My dreams are all pretty long, and feel longer when lucid. I love having nightmares turn into lucid dreams, it's my favorite kind of lucid dream. Especially zombie/survivalist nightmares, it's like playing a survival horror game, except completely immersive.

Most analysts agree that there are three base types of dream. In One, your subConscious mind is attempting to communicate through your dreams to your conscious mind via the tenuous membrane of dream. In the next it is merely fantasy, the mind playing as it were. the third type is a combination of the two. Lucid dreaming is becoming more and more common by people who remember their dreams regularly, and the % of people who remember their dreams regularly is decreasing.

If one wishes to cultivate dream memory, i suggest a dream journal, FIRST thing upon waking take time to write as much as you can remember, after practiceing this for a time you will start to remember that you NEED to remember the dreams while you are dreaming, thus lucidity.

Also for the sleep paralysis thing... Check for rectal tears man .. thats an alien abduction...

I dreamt about playing SNES with several random people like 3 times this week.

I never had to do this to abnormally high natural logic and reasoning skills combined with abnormally high natural memory skills leading me to both recall my dreams in higher detail than most and for me to realize I'm dreaming more easily than most.

I once dreamt that I was lying in bed with a Snickers bar floating over me. When I went to reach for it in the dream, I woke up and I was lying in the exact same position I was when I was in the dream and my arm was outstretched. There was no Snickers bar in my hand. I was disappointed.

what kind of senstations do you experience during sleep paralysis? more often than not, for me it's either ominous sounds or voices speaking to me. i rarely have full-on hallucinations (best word i can use to describe it) with visual accompaniment. do you ever panic during sleep paralysis? do you usually recognize it when it's happening, or does it take you a while to become aware enough to know that's what's going on?

[Woozie]

When I was a child, I would always panic during sleep paralysis. I'd always hear a weird buzzing sound and sometimes footsteps, clicks, taps, or popping sounds. I'd usually see some weird light or sometimes balls of light floating around. Occasionally I'd see the outline of a person or some other weird being. Sometimes my feet would feel really really hot or tingly. On some occasions I felt almost as if I was floating on air. I usually recognize my sleep paralysis immediately by the buzzing sounds. Otherwise, I just wake up, try to roll over or something, and realize I can't. I also always seem to sense the presence of something bad nearby (like some sort of burglar or monster or something).

The older I got, the less I panicked during sleep paralysis. When I don't panic, I usually don't have any weird sensations. When I panic, that's when all the weird lights and stuff happens. So I guess what you experience during sleep paralysis depends a lot on how you react to it (which makes sense, I guess. Since your brain is what's causing the hypnagogic hallucinations, it makes sense that if I'm scared, I'll see scary stuff, and if I'm not scared, I wont see scary stuff). For some reason, if I don't panic, there's a chance that I can still move my feet (and occasionally my fingers) during sleep paralysis. When I panic, it's almost always full paralysis.

I almost never panic during sleep paralysis now, so it's not that big of a deal except for the fact that it ruins my sleep. If I become paralyzed once, it occurs again almost every single time I try to fall back asleep. So if I become paralyzed once, I know my sleep is ruined for the entire night because I know it will keep happening.

Woozie was abducted by aliens, that's why he's so smart.

I just wanted to say lucid dreams are awesome. Had a great dream last night.

[deivi]
