I'm trying this right now but it doesn't work. Am I not asleep? Is this shitty life real?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 hours ago

I remember in middle school I'd always come home with the worst headaches but then I'd just imagine what I did today and select what's important and what's not as if they were files in file manager and drag what I didn't think was important to the recycling bin. It worked too

One day, he's going to try to log out, and the logout button will be missing.

Then the only way he'll be able to wake up is by beating all 100 floors of his dream. But if he dies in the dream, he dies in real life.

You can also look for sword art online

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 hours ago

You can look for sword art anywhere. I guarantee the library has some books.

you can listen for a glopping noise

[–] [email protected] 6 points 13 hours ago

It will definitely happen if someone tells him that :)

I just don’t dream… anything. I remember having dreams as a kid, and I remember what it felt like waking up, knowing I’d had a dream, but forgetting it. But anymore, I just don’t have any dreams anymore.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

Are you a stoner? That kills the recall of your dreams but not the actual dreaming. You just never remember

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago

Decades ago I used to smoke “regularly”, but even at my height I never smoked that heavily

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 hours ago

No, cannabis is understood to decrease REM sleep, and that "kills" the actual dreaming.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

You might have sleep apnoea. If you also happen to not really feel rested in the morning. I know people that haven't had it diagnosed for decades and it turned their life around and they also finally dreamed again. As a "byproduct" of not bearly dying every night but resting.

IF there is a pathological reason. Can also just be you don't stand up shortly after your last REM-sleep and go into deep or light again. Might wanna just check with some smartwatch or just an alarm mid-sleep to check if you then remember stuff.

Start taking ssri and every night is an adventure

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 hours ago

Hmm do you perhaps watch some streams or listen to podcast before sleep ( or even during sleep technicaly speaking ) ,beacuse i also dont dream when i do this.

But i on the other hand also dream vwry vividly and intensly when i think about stuff before sleep ( whatewer it is , book idea , aliens, power fantasy about conquest of russia, imagining the layout of pipes around my house ).

[–] [email protected] 14 points 13 hours ago

You probably have dreams but are not aware because you do not wake up during a dream anymore. Maybe your sleep habits changed. You can remember dreaming only if you wake up during REM sleep. I know it is not possible probably, but if you have someone watch you while you are sleeping and wake you up a few seconds after they see your eyes moving, you'd probably remember your dream.

Eat more bananas !

Idk, i remember reading that banana makes your dream more lucid.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 hours ago

Huh..

I share a similar experience to the person you replied to, but recently I've been doing the "wake up knowing you had a dream but can't remember it" thing again, and I've also been eating more bananas recently.

Coincidence?!

If you wrote your dream to disk beforehand, ! might be unnecessary.

If we're not counting the shift key, ZZ to quit is only 2!

[–] [email protected] 17 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

My nightmares largely stopped after being awake tired af and terrified of sleeping, when I said "damn you nightmares, you can't scare me into sleep deprivation! I'm coming in there and I'm gonna fight back", and then went right back to sleep. I don't know what nightmare I had that drove me to get angry at my nightmares, I didn't even have a plan to fight back. But that's when it stopped, when I stopped being afraid of them.

Sleep paralysis is the worst, you feel the presence of demons around you.

Vim is the nightmare.
