My boyfriend talks in his sleep a lot. We have actual short conversations, often starting with "do you see that?" and ending with "you're just dreaming, hun". Very much used to it now, but when he first did that it had him yelling "Go away!" at the door and he grabbed me and pulled me close. He sees like spooky things in the room from time to time and other times just really stupid things. A dog face on the wall, Spongebob on the ceiling, an evil goat next to his bed. It's wild.

@@slanted4me I agree with the second part of your comment. Basically everyone can have nightmares but not everyone talks in their sleep. When he talks in his sleep he is just acting what is going on in his brain. I've done it once in my entire life and my grandma told me what I was saying, and expectedly it coincided with what I was dreaming. It cannot be sleep paralysis because during sleep paralysis you can't talk, you can only open and move your eyes.

I used to be able to lucid dream. Being lucid just means being able to be aware. There are levels to awareness of your dreaming. Just because you know you’re dream doesn’t mean you can control anything. The more lucid you are, the better control over the environment you have. You see this with nightmares. You can become aware that it’s a dream and end it manually by forcing yourself awake. Nowadays, I cant remember any dreams I have. It’s been years since I was able to lucid dream, and it’s sad to me.

[@spikkelkip8128]

Are you aware that there are techniques to lucid dream? I believe such a beautiful gift should not be wasted so if you haven't already you might want to check out the different techniques.

[@oliviapenelopehope4497]

@@spikkelkip8128 Since I started losing the ability to remember my dreams in general, it became unrealistic to attempt to lucid dream at that point. I still remember some of those dreams I had oh so long ago now. Nightmares could be turned into happy dreams. Boring stories could be turned into amazing adventures. I wish I had started talking with my dream characters before I lost the ability to be lucid. I just end up falling asleep without dreams anytime I try the methods I’ve learned.

I’m a type one diabetic and if ur sugar goes low u have nightmares or “episodes”.

I’ll have nightmares and tell myself they’re nightmares nowadays but I don’t have the ability to wake up like I’m in a battle to even realize if it’s real or not. It’s like I don’t practice it as much cause I don’t dream, have nightmares mares, or episodes too often

[@spikkelkip8128]

@@oliviapenelopehope4497 took me a while to respond, but if you want to regain your ability to remember your dreams you should keep a dream journal. Keeping a dream journal will tell your subconscious that remembering dreams is important to you, resulting in enhanced dream recall.

About the Devil's Trill Sonata story, I have a similar experience with it: Sometimes my dreams have a background soundtrack, and most music I'm able to recognize when I wake up (it even gets stuck in my head at the morning sometimes). But there are cases that I'm not. I end up with a completely new composition/song that I've never heard before and if I dont make the effort to not forget it, writing, recording or whatever, I end up doing so. One particular case is a dream in which I was in the middle of a piano session. I play piano but I'm not able to improvise, only reproduce, and to be honest I am a noob with it. But in this dream a improvised and composed some crazy complex piece like I was some kind of Beethoven and just realized what I was doing when I woke up out of it at early morning. I had good part of the melody in my head and tried to make an effort to not sleep again, but I couldn't resist the temptation, and the melody escaped from me to oblivion forever

I've had a trapped in a dream experience before. It was when I was a kid. I "woke up" several times in my bed and it was still a dream. When I finally woke up I felt like i was scrutinizing everything for the rest of the day. I would stare out the window for a while to make sure nothing "shifted." Or I'd zone out during someone's conversation because I almost thought I was dreaming again. It hasn't happened since, 7+ years I think. I've since done shrooms and I would say the dream and the trip, along with the day after for both experiences were very similar.

[@ilowqualityripeverything7886]

The only dream I ever had where that happened was when I was 4 or 5 and I woke up in my house like normal, except when I opened the door I was in the Wild West and one of the creatures from Where the Wild Things Are walked towards it. I slammed the door and woke up for real.

[@a_donut]

The most recent “trapped in a dream” situations I had recently, freaked me out. Upon the 5-6th dream, I got so tired of the bullshit I got up straight from my bed and headed towards the bathroom, because I heard somewhere that looking in mirrors helps with figuring out if you’re dreaming. What I saw in the mirror looked more like if someone created a composite render of my face. I am NEVER doing that again.

[@solfa6454]

holy shit i had a similar thing happen to me a couple months ago. so i was having a lucid dream and towards the end of it i woke up but i checked my hand (to see if i was still dreaming or something) and i only have 4 fingers and as soon as i did that i would have another false awaking and did the same thing and basically that repeated for what felt like 100s of times. when i finally woke up i was questioning if i was still dreaming for a couple weeks.

[@jeremyusurp5710]

It's amazing what the mind is capable of creating outside of it's own control.

[@goodluckgorsky3413]

All of my dreams from as far as I can remember have been ‘semi-Lucid’. As in, I don’t control the dream world and see it as completely real, but my brain operates on the level it would have while awake. So I can choose what I do with my own body, and experience thoughts that I would while awake. So if I see something in my dream that’s unusual, I might say “Huh, that’s unusual, I should tell that to someone in my family/one of my friends”. Of course I never do, because I can’t change the dream world itself like a lucid dreamer can, but I still have 100% control over my own mind and body that I would awake. I actually had an experience with shifting lucidity in dreams. In one dream I was semi-lucid as usual, but I was occasionally followed by a ghost-like version of myself. He wasn’t evil to my eyes, but whenever he was close I slowly felt my mind turning off and the dream world getting less logical and navigable until I came back to semi-lucidity.

[@dnid_ballin9537]

I do a similar thing, except I'm very much so aware that I'm dreaming, I just have limited control over the dream. Last night I had a dream where I was in a maze being chased by something, then I remembered that this was just a dream, and changed scenes slightly. I was then in a meadow being chased by stuff. Growing frustrated, I just woke myself up because I knew that I was never going to outrun the monsters unless I woke up. I can usually change scenes in dreams or give myself an object, but I can't do much else beyond wake myself up.

i’ve been experiencing the same the last few months! most of the time my dreams have a normal real life “plot” to it (even if they don’t make much sense, in the way that stuff you do in your dreams makes sense while you’re asleep but you can’t really process when you’re awake because it’s actually nonsense) and almost all of them take place in an unnamed and unspecific city that my dream brain always understands as the same one. most of them occur inside of buildings, and i don’t actually see much of the city, so when i say city it’s not like a mapped-out place with reoccurring areas that i dream of more than once, but pretty much every dream is set in it.

[@Quiet_Void]

So, my dreams can be memorable, mainly the weird ones, and I tend to write them down shortly after waking up.

However, I could still see and hear the dream and the real world at the same time. I could change my focus between the two, like changing focus between distant objects. I could always vaguely see the other though. For some reason, I could not control me in the dream, but I could control me in real life. I also couldn't control which I wanted to hear, as I heard both real life and the dream at the same time. This only lasted about a minute, but it's the only really weird thing that has happened to me from dreaming.

About meaning in dreams, it's important to remember that they're highly subjective. Additional details in dreams and the dreamer's recent thoughts and experiences in waking life also play an essential role, so it's not as simple as saying that dreams about x mean y. That said, it's underrated just how much meaning there is to be found in dreams. About LSD: Dream Journal, the original journal was the inspiration for a PlayStation game only released in Japan, LSD: Dream Emulator. It gained a cult following, so you can find plenty material on it here on KZbin. A screenshot of it is shown around 25:30, and the Gray Man sometimes appears as a character in the game. Anyway, nice video. Covers a bunch of good topics. The only things I can think of that were missing were tryptophan, a natural chemical found in food with limited evidence of causing more vivid dreams, and hypnagogia, the sensation of falling and jerking awake during the period between wakefulness and light sleep.

[@the_katss]

I've had sleep paralysis before and it still happens now. It's.. Nasty. My first experience of sleep paralysis was the standard, expected shadow demon with white glowing eyes, looking over me. I wasn't able to move or talk, or even blink. (I was a child back then so it was even worse). Then progressively through my life the shadow demon evolved over a few years and eventually looked like a shadowfied corpse of myself. It looked older than me, but only by a few years. Then one of the eyes popped off and started to dangle, you could see the eye-string connected to the socket. It also started to melt a little bit and rot. Which was having me thinking 'is this what I'm going to look like when I'm dead? Is it happening soon?' After a few months it went back to the normal tall demon. So the corpse thing must have had a meaning behind it as I never saw it again. Its just the demon. However, I started to see multiple ones and I could hear whispering, it was in a sort of demonic language so I never knew what it was. Obviously its less scary to me now because I'm used to it but it still freaks me out a ton. Thanks for reading my 'little' story. I'm glad I could finally talk about it. Edit: The shadow looked like me, but now I rethink about it it didn't seem to represent me in itself.

"technology doesnt work in dreams" it can. its just that its not actually connecting to anything like it does in the real world. so in order for it to serve a function it has to fit the dream's narrative.

People say Sleep Paralysis is scary, but I'm so used to it that if I start seeing stuff I know I'm tripping out and it doesn't frighten me.

When I was around 8 I had this lucid dream where I was in my front yard but then the grey man came out of a portal except he wasn't a silhouette and looked like Scatman John. He said "You cannot escape" and I tried opening my eyes, running around, and doing anything that could possibly wake up, until like 10 minutes later when I finally woke up.

[@PresidentFunnyValentine]

I used to hallucinate before I sleep when I was younger. I'd get very, very, VERY drowsy; it's during that stage when you're sure you're about to drop, out cold. But what makes it wild to me was the fact that I will always see things that I'm sure isn't supposed to be there. For example: I was sure I had seen Elmo peeping through the crack of my bedroom door when I was younger. I remembered being awake, or at least at that stage before my body shuts down to sleep, and seeing Elmo really peeping through the gap of my bedroom door. I told my parents, brothers, sisters, basically everyone I know about it and they all told me I was just seeing things. Now, maybe I was seeing things, but it was all so and too real for it to be called just 'seeing things'. Honestly, it still creeps me out today.

[@signs4407]

I had this type of stuff happen to me but only while going to sleep late at night it's horrifying like once i went to sleep at 2 am after watching some halo videos and i hallucinated a flood combat form at my door and felt genuine panic but then it just kinda disappeared after 3 seconds

[@garrisonline1818]

This just happened to me two days ago, I hallucinated me walking outside and out to the sidewalk only to slowly come back into reality into my bed it didn’t feel like I was dreaming and I had that same “drop out cold” feeling you described.

with that deja vu in dreams thing I often have false memories of dreams inside dreams. I have a lot of lucid dreams so like I’ll be in a dream and think “I’ve dreamt this before” but I actually haven’t and was just having a fake memory of a dream

[@Lenno94]

I haven't had many lucid dreams but I generally have the same feeling of déjà vu in my dreams. Like single events, people or part of the dreams that I feel like ''Yeah, this isn't new, I've seen this before and it's totally normal''.

Strange. Technology always works for me in dreams, though I was unaware it was common for it not to work. Familiar tech like using my phone, checking the time, or something more abstract. Like the levitating semi-transparent cube shaped machine that kept shapeshifting, but still working at a constant pace in a dark room. In one lucid dream from mid 2020, I remember taking pictures of an owl with my phone. Each picture became more disfigured and humanoid in an uncanny way. I looked at the owl again and it was no longer an owl outside of the camera view.

[@since4everrr]

I frequently have dreams that feel like weeks to months and also experience false awakenings that will trick me into dreaming longer. They’re so vivid that even things that make me wake up like losing teeth can sometimes trick me into believe i’m awake and i accept that i actually lost my teeth along with whatever the hell i experienced, and then i wake up. Spoken to a lot of doctors and i think it’s most likely nightmare disorder, and i was prescribed trazodone for them which definitely helps but i still remember like 1 dream every week

I understand you, some time ago I had a dream whim felt like decades (woke up because I dead of old age) and I slept around 13 hours.

[@randomguyiguess3241]

There's another entry that should've been on here, hypnic jerks. The falling feeling (like falling off a cliff or a skyscraper) when drifting asleep, immediately followed by jolting awake, is called a hypnic jerk. It happens because your heart is beating too slow so it alerts your brain to make sure the heart keeps pumping blood faster.

[@UKdontmindme]

I recently experienced a false awakening, not knowing what it was, I mistook it for sleep paralysis or some kind of lucid dream. It was like I had sat up on the side of my bed experiencing extreme amounts of motion blur. I tried to get up and walk out of my room but my body was super heavy, like I had weights attached to my chest and legs. I then suddenly was back in my bed as if I had actually woke up only for this to play out exactly as it just had before. Right after the third or fourth repetition of this I had actually woke up. The whole thing felt super bizarre.

my lucid dreams are always short and i can't actually control everything, just simple things. i once noticed the sky was weird (too beautiful to be true) and realized i was dreaming. so i thought "ok, i want to hold a star in my hands" and one single star descended from the sky like a snowflake and landed on the palm of mu hand. it was tiny, not like a real star. it looked just like it did when it was still in the sky. sometimes i just try flying and all i can do is levitate... it's pretty fun, but also very limited.

My favorite part of dreaming is when I will leave a long video on in the background and then I’ll dream of what I’m hearing. I only have dreams that relate to what I’m hearing for bits and pieces of my sleep cycle, but I think it’s really fun.

[@СергійСавелов]

There are two constants in dreams, two rules that are shared between all dreams. 1. If you do an action that you wouldn't do in real world, if you have an information that is a backstory of a dream that you couldn't ever know, if you have a random thought that you had no reason to think about - you're just following the script. You are not in control, in other words you have no free will. 2. Every single action in your dreams is in the script, without any exeptions. And do you want to hear something fun? "shared between all dreams" - *includes lucid dreams* . The more you think about reasoning of your actions there, the more you agree with this statement.

[@LesperenceVirkov]

The MIT experiment is what made me start testing it on myself by listening to stories while i went to sleep, horror and love stories seemed to work best for me and by god were some of them good. I’ve always loved the idea of being scared and I mean properly scared not just some temporary jump scare type shit. So falling asleep with a proper scary story on and almost injecting myself fully into it was always and still is fun

[@Omnywrench]

Regarding dreams about falling: if you've ever had one of those really short dreams where you suddenly feel like you've tripped and fallen and immediately wake up afterwards, you've experienced a "hypnic jerk". The cause is unknown, but some theories suggest it's caused by falling asleep "too fast", or your brain freaking out because you're dreaming about walking upright yet are lying still in real life, which causes your sense of balance to suddenly go out of whack.

[@redvodka1933]

I get these really really realistic dreams where sometimes I'm not even me, and I'll feel as though months or even years pass, then I wake up and it takes me an entire day to readjust to real life.

[@forgottenshadows7548]

bout half way through the video right now. 2 things - 1 - false awakening dont come with an inherent "something is off" feeling. alot of times the brain uses it as a sort of reset to lucidity, to trick the dreamer into letting their awareness down as they assume they're no longer dreaming. 2 - I didnt know LSD had a book. that's really cool, I bet that's the dream journal the game was based on.

[@vindicator0984]

I used to keep a dream journal in high school. I was obsessed with dreams and trying to lucid dream. I still occasionally update the journal when I have a very vivid and interesting dream, but I was only able to lucid dream once and not for very long. The dream started off with me at school during after hours. I was being punished for something I did in one of my teachers class, but instead of being punished me and some other kids just played a game (I think monopoly). Eventually I'm dismissed and it's raining really heavily outside and someone offers me a ride home, and then very suddenly my dream shifts to a girl. She is in my attic ripping apart old books and seems to be looking for something. She starts to scream and the pages form a giant flower on the floor. She's now covered in what appears to be blood and slowly starts to walk down the stairs of the attic. The door to the attic opens and I see things again from my perspective. I go downstairs and outside to see my Dad in his car waiting for me to get in with Him. As I open the car door I go lucid and realize I'm dreaming. Excited I decide that the first thing I wanted to do was go and get something to eat, the car fastens my seatbelt for me and starts to dive itself to a near by taco bell. As I'm pleased with myself for finally going lucid, my alarm for school goes off and wakes me up. I was lucid for all of abut 10 seconds in my dream before I woke up.

I was on antidepressants and sleep medicine for about ten years. It honestly didn’t change my dreams much, if at all. I know if I had been trying a new sleep medicine it would put me into a dreamless sleep (or rather, I couldn’t remember the dreams) but when I got used to it my dreams would go back to normal.

[@iwakurabaikaiya2760]

I can lucid dream, though not on command. It just sort of happens. However, it doesn't usually last very long as I wake up soon after if I try to do anything crazy. Also, whenever I have nightmares, I am usually able to wake myself up, but I "close" my eyes to do so. I also don't really wake up fully and have to start moving around once awake or I will fall back into the dream, which is sometimes useful if it is a good dream.

[@Akatsuki69387]

When I was really young I had a phase where I was obsessed with the concept of lucid dreaming. I experienced my first lucid dream in middle school and since then most of my dreams have some level of lucidity. While I can't simply just "go anywhere" I have agency in the actions I take, and if something happens to me I can rewind time and try a different outcome. It's a bit like my subconscious creates a story and my conscious is just along for the ride, changing things as I see fit but ultimately leaving the "main plot" to go where it may. My dreams are always wild, and I tend to remember a lot more than just 5% of it upon waking but will quickly lose that as I continue to gain awareness. If I write it down I can remember the scenarios I describe even after waking. I've been trapped in dreams and experienced false awakenings several times, and on one occasion I had 9 false awakenings in a row. It probably should have been scary but I was just annoyed at that point. Like...clearly brain thinks it's time to get up so let me get up. While some of my dreams are frightening I've gotten very good at "taking back my mind" and defeating or destroying whatever is causing the nightmare. I'm sure if I fixated on it again I could reach "true lucidity" where I can go anywhere and do anything but...honestly I like where it is right now. A fantastical life where you don't know what will happen next, but are reassured that you can always change it is more exciting to me than the idea of a sandbox world. I worldbuild as a hobby while I'm awake, I do enough sandbox in my waking hours, I want to live and play inside fantastical worlds while I dream.

I hear everywhere that recurring dreams mostly happen only a few times, but when I was little, I used to have the same nightmare every single night. I was always standing in some sort of void, and there would always be the same monster, dark purple, glowing eyes, really big and round, and with a really big mouth that seemed endless (a bit like Gigantamax Gengar, for those who play Pokemon) standing in the middle. Then it would grab things I liked (toys, plushies, and somehow my parents?) and drop them in its mouth while I beg for it to stop. Has anyone here had a similar experience, or is it just me?

I've personally had a few dreams where I've been using drugs AND felt something in the dream, specially Crack and Heroine (basically the 2 worst drugs ig) Heroine aas given to me intravenously and I felt like I was flying after, utter bliss and brighter colors I guess. Crack made me crazy kinda, I was jumping and running everywhere but it felt like I was teleporting (like in a VR game) because my brain couldn't comprehend the speed or somn. The fucked up thing about the crack dream is when I hit the glass pipe, I actually felt something in my lungs and felt something come, it made me... Feel intensity. Oh and I've had a dream where I drank bleach. It was the worst. I felt it burn in my stomach and I remember puking so much blood. Good times!

I don't have a lot of very weird dream experiences, but I did have one recursive dream / false awakening experience leading to sleep paralysis. This happened sometime after I had moved from one town to another. I dreamed about waking up in my old apartment in Town A, looking out my bedroom window, and seeing a tornado approaching in the distance. Then I "woke up" again, still in the Town A apartment, looked out the bedroom window again, and saw the same tornado, now closer. Woke up again, still in the Town A apartment, looked out the window, the tornado was closer. Etc. For a total of six false awakenings. When I actually awoke, I realized I was on my couch in my new apartment in Town B. I couldn't open my eyes, but I recognized the feel of the couch and of a decorative pillow, and remembered I had moved away from the old apartment from the dream. I was completely alert-- I could recognize there was light in the room, and could hear-- but couldn't move or speak, and was just locked in my own body for some time (it felt like 10 or 15 minutes, but obviously I can't be sure) until I could finally slowly start moving my extremities, then the rest of me, and finally open my eyes.

I have a complicated dream world. I can smell, taste, and read in dreams (I always know when I’m dreaming, and I can do the look away-look back, and the writing will be the same, same for my surroundings) This will sound crazy, but when I dream, I end up in a place I call the town. Somehow I think it’s a real ‘place’, or plane, with its own conscious inhabitants; because it has a consistent vibe that I can only compare to being on dmt. People from my waking life are often there, but they’re residual, repeating the same actions. Even though I’m never scared, it can have a very threatening vibe; the inhabitants seem to know I’m not one of them, and think I’m vulnerable. I can’t control what they do, but I can control myself and the outcome their actions have on me. The first time I was following a friendly entity, and a male being grabbed me by the arm, trying to drag me somewhere. I spun around, grabbed its arm, and got in its face; somehow this seemed to shock it-I think it’s expression was saying ‘you aren’t supposed to be able to do that’. I think I startled something that had an awareness of its own. About a week ago, I had one where my house was being renovated, and a ‘family friend’ (who took on the face of a well known murderer) repeatedly put me in situations that would have gotten me killed. Knives falling, but I made them all miss me, for example. I felt it getting more angry with each attempt, and I would stare and smirk at it, because I wanted to play mind games with it. The clearest was when it was driving a short distance, and bringing me back home. It ‘lost control’ of the car, and it fell of a ledge onto my side, hoping to crush me. Instead I manipulated the car to land on the passenger side wheel, and came out unharmed. My parents rushed to us, and were so glad we were safe. I stared it right in the eyes, and pulled the widest grin. It rage-quit, because I refused to ‘give in’ and allow it to become a nightmare; also because it couldn’t kill me, no matter how hard it tried. This town and the entities only became prominent after I started meditating, contacting spirit guides, and (what I regard as) deities. Once I had sleep paralysis and/or a near obe. I woke with the compelling urge to escape my body, but could only get up onto my elbows. I’d blink, and be right back where I started. I was frustrated because it was physically taxing. I’ve also had multiple prophetic dreams, and predicted the future while awake since childhood. The antidepressant dreams were honestly hilarious, because yeah they were vivid enough to trick me, but it was always about mundane, everyday routines. I’d wake up mad that I had to go to work or do laundry all over again. Even more ‘hmmm’ inducing because this video was uploaded on my birthday.

I have had narcolepsy since I was 11 and even though it is on the top of the list sometimes its really scary. So narcolepsy is basically the immune system breaking down the chemicals that regulate your sleep cycle. This means sleep is very irregular but the effect on the mind and body is more than just that. Other symptoms include: falling asleep on very random moments (sometimes while walking or talking to someone or even working), extremely realistic dreams while asleep for very a short time (sometimes I’m gone for hours but I only slept for 5 seconds and vice versa), sleep paralysis, disorientation when suddenly awake after falling asleep, sleeping at night is extremely difficult and kataplexy (paralysis of muscle when experiencing emotion). I have experienced all of these symptoms. Some of them happen frequently others less frequently but I can tell you sometimes it feels like I’m losing my mind. One day I was laying in my bed and I got struck with sleep paralysis. A lot of people talk about some sort of demon but for me this never really was the case. I was in a state where I thougt I was awake but I couldn’t move. Suddenly I hear footsteps through the window (it was open bcs it was summer) and heard a guy crawling towards me. I was laying on my stomach and he got on top of my back and starting choking me by pushing my head in my pillow. The feeling of not being able to move and hearing this entity slowly getting closer was so real and horrific it still gets me to this day. Nowadays I sleep with my windows and doors locked just because of this even though I know it wasn’t real. This is just one example of all the scary shit I experienced. Another one was being half awake and hearing whispers of a women talking about mass genocide and shit. Maybe I just need to stop watching these videos idk ;) Sleep is a weird thing bro I’m telling you
