Dreams and Nightmares

[AGGAMEMNON66]

If you eat something high in sugar before you go to bed your dreams are more intense and memorable. Supposedly you’ll be more prone to nightmares doing this.

Best part is being in a nightmare but realizing you are dreaming.

You can be like "bitch please" to the bad guy

I am a horror fan and like my dreams when they get spooky. But sometimes I am terrified in the dream for no apparent reason, and I wake up heart pounding and scared. Just an overwhelming sense of fear and dread. Nothing in real life gets me that way, it’s like I am facing pure evil and know it in the dream.

This is why drinking yourself to sleep is a terrible idea.
@SamSchmidt , dude, I used to have insane guilt and nightmares over the shit I've done. One day though, a buddy who went through similar shit introduced me to LSD and after one trip I was set free. No more hangups, it was like hitting reset on my brain.

Not entirely related, but, and I actually thought about making a thread about this when it happened, I had the weirdest case of sleep paralysis the other night.

I've had sleep paralysis probably less than 20 times in my life, but when it happens I know what's going on. I've never, ever had visual hallucinations until a few weeks ago.

I "woke up" to the sensation of my bed being rocked back and forth. Like I could legit feel it. And when I looked up I saw a woman in all black at the foot of my bed where my TV is, shaking my TV back and forth. And as I said not only could I see it I could feel the whole bed rocking. About this time I realized I couldn't move and I was like oh ok that's what this is. Once I snapped fully awake everything was back to normal. Bed still, no woman, etc. If I didn't know about sleep paralysis I would have probably freaked. But I was like ok whatever just hallucinating and went back to bed. Still weirded me out a little though.

Sleep paralysis sucks. I was getting it all the time awhile ago, was afraid to go to bed because I knew it was coming. One time I had a vision of three cops coming into my room while I was sleeping and one of them pointing a gun at me. Of course I couldn't move because of the sleep paralysis, the mind's still going but the body is asleep. Spooky shit. It's cleared up a bit by now.

I have exhaustingly vivid dreams, and i dream a lot, but thankfully i've only ever had a handful of nightmares in my life. They were of the sleep paralysis kind and so god awful i still remember every little detail about them.

Maybe try meditation to clear your mind during the day or before sleep, TS...

I'm being chewed out by the missus.

I just had a dream where the flat was like a car rolling downhill into oncoming traffic.

Basically jumped over the headrest, knocking over a cup of coffee all over everything, and ran into the hallway in nothing but my boxers screaming. I only came to outside of my neighbours door.

Walls are covered in coffee and body is full of adrenaline. Missus and I spent ten minutes trying to clear everything up and the carpet is probably stained.

Never felt panic like it.

My dreams are always filled with random shit happening. They very rarely make any kind of sense. Physics are always wonky too. Rarely have nightmares either(decade since the last), just fun randomness. And i would never remember my dreams when I used to drink heavily.

I miss nightmares. They at least made some sense.

I don't seem to dream when I drink. My dreams can be incredibly vivid otherwise and just range from dreams to nightmares. There's very rarely an inbetween for vividness levels and I'm usually an active participant. If I'm not tired I'll often just slip into a medative waking dream which is also vivid but not restful.

Idk what the word is but the worst are probably when you're dreaming of just chilling with a lost loved one or pet then you wake-up realising it's not real.

Had sleep paralysis almost every night for a good month when I quit smoking weed in my 30’s (smoked daily since junior high prior to quitting).

Ajways get the dreams I’m still in college and I’m missing credits or there’s a class I never went to and have a final exam.

Sometimes realize I’m dreaming and go lucid. I’ll start flying. Sometimes I can’t though and I can get around it by “swimming my way up”.
Have a few religious friends from Jamaica who are the Pentecostal type and told me once I go lucid I should call out anyone I see in my dream as a demon to “see what happens”. I tried it once and sure enough the person became grotesque and I got sleep paralysis really bad. Could feel someone touching me and heard horrible voices in my head until the experience ended and I could move again. Never went further down that rabbit hole and never told them about that about what happened when I tried that out. Still creeps me out to this day when I think about it.

Also always seem to have dreams I’m reversing in my car and it can’t stop when I hit the brake so have to put it into drive without stopping to go forward.

Dreams are fuckimg weird.

You likely do dream when you drink but don't remember them when you wake up.

I fid stress has a massive impact on my dreams. I, for years living in a place where routinely everything went to shit had this horrible nightmare where I would wake up and the fact I wasn't able to force myself back to sleep the world and everything/everyone I loved would cease to exist. Since moving last June I've only had it once, the feeling of guilt followed me all day it was so horrible.

My favorite WTF nightmare of recent years was one where I was walking in the fields of my Grandpa's farm. Instead of fence posts, the fields are actually surrounded by wires from a Nazi Death camp. And Bigfoot is chasing me.

Just wrote a big ole shnitzel about my night terrors and my cpu died now it's gone so all you get is this shitty post.

Why did Sherdog ban SamSchmidt?
