/yume/ - Dreams

^_^

Had a dream today about there being insects of all variety randomly generating on my skin or around me, some were insects that weren't real, ones I can specifically remember are brown sand grain size spiders with only heads and four legs, as well as pea sized ladybugs with "mecha-like" arm attachments being created and crawling out from between my toes of all places.

Sometimes they would generate under my feet as I walked and shatter like plastic when I unintentionally stepped on them.

one time i had a dream where seitsatsu was a huge poorfag
i still haven't woken up yet

when i was a kid, i had the wackiest fucking dreams, and still do. one which sticks out, was me and my dad had to go to a store for a keyboard for his jeep, and the store was super nice, it had a waterfall in the lobby. when an employee helped us, we passed a pool with a tight rope over it, and bart and homer were on it. every time bart took a step, he farted, then he said butt. homer was furious, and pushed him in and dived in after. then the pool turned black, and then i woke up. thats just one of hundreds of wacky dreams that come from my twisted mind.

Had one as a child where I had to cross a large jungle while avoiding murderous invisible ankylosauruses. I don't think I made it.

A lot of weird shit happens in my dreams (e.g. me punching the back of a partially emerged whale in the middle of the ocean) but one of the weirder ones would be this:

Me and 2 friends walk into someone's flat. I have this feeling that it's a game and that I've done this before. In the kitchen we see an old lady and stat beating her up. At one point my friends hold her and I try to slit her throat with a knife, but this image is so vivid that seeing a small amount of blood makes me sick and I don't slice it open completely.
I again, think to myself, what a great, realistic and vivid game this is that it even made me feel nausea.
Later we're all outside the building. The lady is lying on the ground covered in curtains or some shit. My friends act as if she's dead, but I know she's still alive, because I didn't fully cut her throat. The lady slowly gets up, approaches one of my friends and flings him ~10m. She then transforms into some kind of monster, resembling a deer or elk, but it looks like it's made of stone. The monster proceeds to uproot trees and throw them at us, I pick up one of the trees and start hitting the monster with it. The monster later has a few more transformations, all of which resemble irl animals made of stone.

Before the battle ends I wake up feeling tired as shit as if I had actually just fought someone.

i once dreamed i rode a weird rickety steel roller coaster that sent me careening down into the depths of the earth. the ride eventually reached a massive cave populated by a series of industrial, brutalist concrete high-rises. at the end of the track the ride crashed directly into this huge, shiny black boulder. the whole ride was built as if it wasn't designed with looping back around in mind, and i was the only one riding.

Wow, that's pretty cool. Do you have photographic dream recall or something? Are these all reoccurring dreams or is it just some locations are tied to events? Can you tell me about the weird poetic world of dynamite?

i wouldn't say i have photographic recall- my dreams range from pretty hazy to incredibly vivid.
every one of these locations are recurring. they aren't the subjects of every single one of my dreams, they just seem to be places in my mind. i'm always randomly plopped into one of these locations.
memory eludes me with the world of dynamite- the dreams on the right side are scenes that play out by themselves, some of them are recurring, some of them aren't. all i can recall at the moment is a bird's-eye view of a girl running across the deck of a freighter. every object in the scenario was various shades of red. i think the freighter exploded at some point? i'll get back to you on that one.

>>2656
i remember now! the dream cuts to a view of the freighter and a city, all of which explodes. the girl swims to a deck from where the freighter once was. the look on her face was a mixture of loneliness and catharsis. she slumps up against a wall, and some kind of powder (gunpowder?) slowly falls from the sky as she leans harder into the wall. cut to black, dream ends. it was surreal! i've had it in the back of my mind for a while, what do you think could it mean?

note- the scenarios on the right side of the map were put there because they are all incredibly vivid. they're stories my sleeping mind creates, they're a part of me.

The only thing affecting dreaming as far as environment is concerned is wether or not it disturbs your sleep, but I find my dream recall is much better when I wake into darkness. Dream memory is extremely volatile so any sensory distractions on waking up will destroy the memory if you're not careful, making it like you never dreamed at all.

I don't usually dream much, but I usually have to have a clear mind, a cold room and i only require like 5 hours of sleep to dream

I sleep best in my bed.
Not in a concrete parking garage…

If I'm camping in a tent, I hardly ever have dreams

my dreams depend on time- if i fall asleep at a reasonable hour, i usually never have any dreams, and if i do, they're always very hazy. if i fall asleep at, like, 3:00 AM, i'm guaranteed to dream about something strange, and it always immediately leaves my head as soon as i wake up. there's a sweet spot where, at a certain hour, the locations of my dreams begin to recur, forming a sort of dream-world. these dreams are usually incredibly vivid. the human mind is fascinating!

>Or maybe one that was fragmented and you kept going back to after waking up?
Definitely had one of these, but I don't remember anything of it.

Not really, but I had this one time where I was in sort of a boss fight and every time I died, I'd get booted out of the dream due to the sudden fear of dying (because it felt real)
Luckily, though, I was sleeping in such a position that the sun wasn't shining in my eyes, so I could force myself back and retry the exact same battle but with more knowledge

Feel like I had one the other night but I can't fucking remember anything about it other than feeling like I had been asleep for like a week when I finally got up.

Not in that kind of way. I had a couple of dreams that are "cut" to seem like they are taking place through multiple days if you know what i mean. It might be the fact that you can have multiple dreams in one night and they maybe blend into eachother at the end?
Definetely something i can relate to with my own dream experiences.

I have definitely had dreams that would resume from another dream from the previous night. I don't think have a single dream that feels like it lasts for longer than the time that has passed in real life is possible, at least not technically. It has already been proven empirically that dream time roughly equals real time because our eye movements in dreams are in sync to actual eye movement. All of that extra time are probably just false memories the mind has cooked up. Having false memories of having done something is no different than having actually done it, as far as the mind is concerned.

Yeah, there are a few locations that don't exist IRL but I have seen repeatedly in dreams.

Same, I haven't visited it for years, but I've always had a persistent dreamworld. It had complex stores, arcades, bridges, even bus lines, all of it was always persistent, always the same. I even had routes inside the giant mall to check the interesting stores and shelves…magazines, toys, videogames…stopping by some food shops or even having dinner there…

The city is pretty big, it had shady neighborhoods, open areas, river, bridge, amusement parks…

The most insane thing is that it had metro and rail stations, and you could take the train to go to some close mountain area, with at least 3 persistent villages, with farms and shit, rivers, ruins and old roads in the woods by the mountains. It's ridiculous how big and consistent it is.

YOU'RE GOING TO THE DREAM WORLD WHEN YOU DIE
