Surreal to the extreme. Just last night, I was shot in the head, died in a pool of my own blood, then was brought back to life. Sadly, there was brain damage and I couldn’t remember anything anyone said right after they said it. On the bright side, Make-a-Wish gave me a big pink stuffed rabbit.
On the positive side of surreal, I dreamed up National Sasquatch Day. Everyone dressed up like bigfoot and ran around in the woods with flowers in their hair. There was much frolicking.
I was in my kitchen, cooking Mac and cheese, when President Zombie John Lennon burst in and attacked me. I fought back by throwing individual noodles at his head. Apparently, this was lethal, so the Secret Service busted in. But as I had already killed the president, they decided I needed to die. So, they hoisted me up and carried me to the nearest Goodyear blimp. As we rose into the air, one decided he liked my shirt, so as they prepared to chuck me to my death, he tore off my shirt, revealing that my chest hair was, in fact, a bald eagle. This was prophesied as a sign of the New Washington, the perfect president, by the first Secret Serviceman. Unfortunately, I made it clear that I did not share their beliefs, and would just use the first opportunity I got to nuke the sun, so they chose to kill me anyway. I fell, the eagle flapping and clawing in utter terror, until I woke up.
I often dream of a reality in which loved ones did not die, and we are living out the lives we planned together. Hyper real, every day stuff; shopping, watching tv, sitting on the deck drinking cokes and shooting the breeze. Waking up to the “real world” where they are gone is not a good start to a day.
I write my dreams down if I can remember them and they are often pretty strange. Occasionally they are complex and movie-like with a nearly cohesive plot but usually just typical weird disjointed scenes.
I’ve had a couple “lucid dreams”, usually when falling asleep sitting upright but never really explored those like some people do.
@awk I also have had one lucid dream - but the experience was fucking amazing - to actively control it, rather than just watching what happens. I should explore more!
My dream are interesting. Every night in my dreams I see you, I feel you. That is how I know you go on. Far across the distance and spaces between us, you have come to show you, go on. Near, far, whereEEEEEEEVER YOU ARE
@PocketBrain The last time I tried lucid dreaming was while badly sleep deprived in college. Never really succeeded, always either fell back asleep or woke up.
I did have some trippy falling-asleep experiences. Not drug induced. Other than whatever the baseline blood coffee level was.
I sometimes have this weird experience when I’m just drifting off to sleep where I remember scenes from previous dreams, often from years ago. I immediately recognize the dream fragments as familiar at the time, but I can’t remember them in detail when I’m fully awake. It invokes a kind of deja vu type experience, because I remember the ‘feeling’ of the dream.

Bright side?
@PocketBrain O.o
@QuietDelusions weirdest dream I ever had:

I often wake up and think they were real. I used to do things based on dreams because of that, now I always check.
@Seeds sometimes I can’t remember if I dreamt something or it happened in real life.
I definitely don’t dream of
/giphy electric sheep
@Oneroundrobb Ok, consider me officially creeped the eff out. I can’t wait to see what kind of screwed up dream THIS gif is gonna net.
@Oneroundrobb Why don’t you turn the turtle over?
Adventurous!

Ya. So, you realize you just described every David Lynch film, right?

@cpierce <shudder> Bad karaoke flashback.
Forgotten as soon as I wake up.
I often have dreams that reference or continue previous dreams, but when I wake up, I wonder if the memory of the previous dream was also dreamed.
I swear it’s the sheets that make we sweat.
I often dream that I am telling someone about the dream I had (which I had right before that one), very strange.
I always wake up startled
Shout out for the rare lucid dream. You’re God in that country.

Let’s be reminded what Irk thinks about me:

The brain is a strange and wonderful apparatus.
I almost never seem to dream. I probably just don’t get enough REM Sleep. I only average ~4.5hrs per night.
Sometimes I have an 8-10hr “catch up” night, but not often.
Hard to remember.
