/yume/ - Dreams

Then you realise the eyes were the mountains.
And the mouth was the road.

I keep dreaming that I'm back in highschool and there are people who clip through the floor and keep trying to pull me down. Sometimes they succeed and pull me into a dusty concrete basement.

i had this dream about a statue of cid the sloth after i saw ice age for the first time. it was in a run-down mall, and my mom was taking me to the garden store that was part of it. idk what malls are like for yall's areas, but where i grew up there was a mall with lots of sculptures everywhere, which i think is where my kid brain got the concept. anyways, this cid statue comes to life and beats my mom to death with a coffee mug while i have to sit back and watch, and that was the point where i woke up.

still probably the weirdest dream i ever had and it literally caused me to have a fear of sloths. i even had a panic attack at the zoo when i was around 9-10 because there was a sloth exhibit. everyone laughs at me for it cause the fuckers still creep me out

a dream thats always stuck with me was a nightmare I had when i was 9? 10? i was in the kitchen of my families apartment and from there i could see into the room of my newborn brother where there was a rocking chair that I always thought waas creepy. THe apartment was dark, but not completely, it was moonlit. The place was haunted (and for whataever reason in any dream that takes place at home the house is haunted) and in the rocking chair was a grotesquely fat man that looked a lot like a bloated and rotting body. Like the opening scene from the movie Begotten, but more humanoid.

The earliest one I can remember is this: I was probably like 6 years old (irl and in the dream) and I was at my grandmother's home, as usual. It started with me eating with my entire family at the big table in the living room. There was a lot of hanging out with them but it's really not that important and I don't remember most of what I did anyway.

I went outside for a bit and I noticed it was getting really bright, there was an unnatural, muted yellow color in the sky. This really unsettled me, so I ran back home panicking and told my mom to look outside with me. She thought it was weird as well, despite this she continued being calm and said that I shouldn't worry so much, she went inside and left me alone. I was still scared.

Then a bunch of stuff happened that I can't recall, but basically it was announced on TV that a huge meteorite would be crashing on Earth and that my country would be severely affected and that they didn't have the resources necessary to save us. I started crying and thinking "I knew it" over and over again, everyone was either crying, frantically moving around or quietly accepting their fate. My mom and my sister were doing the latter, and they wrapped their arms around me. They whispered things like "it's ok", "it will be over soon" and I would respond with something like "I don't want to die". As the meteorite was getting closer and closer, and everything was getting yellower, the last words we shared were "I love you".

Looking back, it wasn't that bad a dream, but it was extremely realistic (was surprised it wasn't real when I woke up) and I used to have a big fear of the world ending, so naturally I thought this dream was horrifying.

A couple, like dreams where I'd be in my old elementary school field and suddenly be launched into the air a bunch of times, or the one where I'd be on some sort of field trip where my class and teachers were all participating in a super trippy and long race, but I only remember one vividly enough to where it'd be worth to actually write about.

There's one nightmare I remember frequently having where I was in the basement. Sometimes, my dad would be talking to me about an MMORPG he played, or about Zelda, sometimes I would be by myself. Eventually, the furnace would burst open and lava would start pouring out of it (it looked more like melted orange ice cream, though). I'd run upstairs immediately and the front door would be locked. After that I would run to the backyard door out near the kitchen where I would see it's night. I don't remember anything happening after me being near the door, I would never escape, but I would never "die" in the lava. I do remember little small teardrop shapes of lava coming out and moving in very weird ways, kind of like how a lot of weird sea creatures or plants move. They'd wiggle back and forth and I was terrified of them. Never ended up explaining to my parents why I hated being in the basement so much.

I once dreamt my mom had a penis
She called it "the source of power"

This was before I started going on the internet.

I had a dream about people living in ceilings, they live upside down, without furniture. They walk on ceilings. They can see us but we can't see them. From their point of view, we're weird.
Another one:
In one of my dreams, I lived in underground with a bunch of people I don't know in real life. This city was filled with artificial lights and there were window-like openings on the wall ,each next to each other, near the 'ceiling'. They had bars on them and also looked like sewer openings but the lack of a bad smell made me know it wasn't an underground sewer city. I think we all get along in this dream and everything seems fine. Then suddenly, I look up and see glowing pairs of eyes looking down from each window. That's where the dream ends.

That's very Yume-Nikkian esque. It reminds me also a Doctor Who episode about beings, who can hide so perfectly, we can't see them.

>>2700
that's one thicc mado

Thanks for the reply! I didn't watch the show but Dr. Who seems like an interesting show, and I've seen a few episodes including the one about moving statues. That episode is pretty popular, and maybe that's where my brain got the inspiration for my dream…
Also I had another weird one recently! I was working with a group of people underground and these people were talking about something, I was just watching them from a distance fixing a machine and taking out huge amounts of some weird substance. It didn't smell bad but it was a dark green color and there was a lot of it. So they took it all out and put the weird 'liquid' in large two containers. I took these containers and started going down the corridors. (For some reason it was really easy for me to push them when in fact the containers were about my height and filled to the brim so they must've been pretty heavy.) While walking, I suddenly realized I was in a dream… This isn't who I was, where I normally went etc. I kind of panicked but there was someone (or something?) passing by, so I just kept walking without looking at them. I knew where I was going instinctually. When I reached the room I were going to, I saw an empty room full of tables, on each table a microscope and I realized/remembered I was a chemist and my job here was to examine this green substance.
I pushed the containers into the room and closed the door behind me. Without thinking I reached for my pocket to lock the door but in horror I realized I forgot the keys. Suddenly I was incredibly scared, standing in front of the door and holding the handle. Just as I feared, suddenly the door was trying to be opened by something outside, I resisted it by force and after a while it stopped. I looked through the key hole and just saw the wall, besides I felt at ease so I opened the door to take a look. I knew I weren't in huge danger as it was just noon now, but I knew I'd be here for a while to research and I definitely had to lock the door at night. I contemplated turning back all the way to take my keys (They were in my drawer so I had to go back to my room, which I knew was in a higher floor) but I couldn't leave the two containers without supervision, it could be a big mistake and even cost me my job. But taking them with me wasn't an option either because there were no elevators and it was impossible to take the stairs wPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

I had a more pleasant dream. It was just some stop motion snowmen celebrating Christmas

Codeine consistently puts me in a semi-lucid state, where I'm aware that I'm almost fully asleep, and aware of where I am, but am still seeing random imagery and feeling random sensations somewhat passively. It's actually really pleasant, like drifting away.

YN Syndrome is not new, to put it briefly, it means “extreme social withdrawal”, isolation from society for more than six months. It began in Japan, but over the years, it spreads very slowly everywhere, only lethal voluntarily by common sense errors we make (no spoilers intended), and involuntarily through extreme rare cases like sudden unexpected death in sleep for few people. It is a behavioral syndrome, so it operates in a similar manner to how people are diagnosed with autism, ADHD, polio, and those with Asperger’s, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases.

There is no actual need of a cure, it can be treated by changes in lifestyle to suit sleep better, is 100% avoidable, and can be contracted more than once in a lifetime. It is caused by not being successful in life, having too many hobbies to go around that requires being indoors, or failing to get to sleep on time every day, even on weekends. This can be simulated like a Virus on Plague Inc: Evolved, but it must start in Japan and must start with a set date on the system to 24/6/2004, because the game reads in day/month/year format. I would like to see it played by someone as a request at any later time.

you people talking about hikikomori? just call it "hikikomori" then!

>>2393
ok

This

It sounds more like OP has a fantasy world he's created, not so much like a "Dreamscape." It sounds like his planet has rules and a narrative, rather than being entirely disjointed and impossible as YN is.

ily. i have almost the same place i used to go wen i sleep until i realized that we are always sleeping. now i dont dream at all anymore

>>2417
The info only seems legit to you because you're gullible. People can make anything sound genuine if they throw around enough made up terminology. If you find out that it's actually real though, i'd be happy to know.

na this is on to some shit. ur just not rly asleeping r u? too awaoke

nice

I just woke up from a morning nap session. After 6 hours of night sleep I had a light breakfast and strong coffee, turned on music and went back to bed lying face down on the edge of the pillow (my favorite sleeping posture).

Depending on the music I dozed off and got conscious again with the change of songs or even during a single piece with variable expression. When the song "Maggot Brain" started, I finally reached dream level.

Soon I found myself at a parking structure. The sun was glaring and some kids were skateboarding and riding shopping carts. I heard Funkadelics aforementioned song coming from their direction and though "these punks have good taste in music". The dream continued with a drunk Chinese guy dropping canned pears on a decayed staircase. At that point the music was gone.

I suspect a similar mechanism to the WILD technique being at work here. It might not be possible to receive accurate signals from the outside during sleep, but one can directly carry over the starting point of a association chain, if one is relaxed enough during exposure (literally at the verge of sleep). With a known piece of music one can expect it to continue with a similar sound, but typical dream distortions or mashups in structure.

Only one time that I can remember, it was a song "created" by me. Nothing interesting, I was dreaming that I was streaming music on youtube but after I woke up I realised that the song doesn't actually exist.

I remember hearing Libera me from hell with muffled, untuned and roughed out instruments once. I don't remember in what context and backdrop it was in though. I hear music pretty often in my dreams, often ambient scores or the music of the devil.

i've heard some eurobeat music in my dreams. Makes it feel really upbeat, i don't usually remember the dreams or the songs though, but i just know i heard 'em, if that makes sense.

next time lay off the coffee
