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
Title made me lose the game.
Damnit, I lost as well.
Let’s get you back to bed, gramps
happy 10 year anniversary to this ~~tweet~~ toot
I mean i just have to kill myself and hope it's really just a dream. I would like a quit menu
Computer! Arch.
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.

Cheating in a duel against the game master in floor 75*

I would subscribe to your newsletter
You can also look for sword art online
You can look for sword art anywhere. I guarantee the library has some books.
you can listen for a glopping noise
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.
You might have got 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 nearly 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.
Are you a stoner? That kills the recall of your dreams but not the actual dreaming. You just never remember
Decades ago I used to smoke “regularly”, but even at my height I never smoked that heavily
No, cannabis is understood to decrease REM sleep, and that "kills" the actual dreaming.
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 ).
Start taking ssri and every night is an adventure
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.
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?!
Sugar makes me dream.
ESC > :q!
Colon Q exclamation point? 6 keystrokes to leave? Sheesh.
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.
Thank god my nightmares are not viewed in vim. I can't Google how to quit it while I'm sleeping!
Vim is the nightmare.

That kind of sounds like a strategy to trigger lucid dreaming. I've heard that if you envision a specific thing while falling asleep, like for example the StarCraft menu screen, then it will appear somewhere in your dream. When it does, it's supposed to sort of jostle you into consciousness but not wake you up.
It seems that what this person's friend did with his free will in dream land is nope right out of there. He could have turned that nightmare into something awesome though!
My nightmares always turn into semi lucid dreams, it's like "this is so horrible it must be a nightmare" and then I can choose to just nope out of sleeping.
My old man taught me that telling someone one is having a nightmare stops it from coming back. I've found that just saying it out aloud works as well.
I've used it quite a few times throughout my life, never fails. It's supposedly pretty eerie for others though when I just sit up in bed in the middle of the night, proclaim "I'm having a nightmare" and then promptly going back to sleep.
Even if you are aware you are in a dream it can be difficult to control it, at least in my experience. More like I wake up on a roller coaster but I'm not sure if its a fun one or a scary one yet, but I can choose to stay and see how it goes.
