My newest objective is to lessen to the background people and write as much of their conversations down as i can. As soon as I'm lucid I stop and start to lessen. Depending on where I am I turn and get as close as I can to people. I've yet to succeed but I got the idea from someone who said it's one of the biggest trips.

I usually quit by dying.

For some reason, almost all my dreams are lucid, which means I know I'm in a dream. They're stupid, nonsensical, and usually have people I knew, but have not seen, or thought about in a long time. Occasionally I have a vivid one, which means it seems real. You all know this, just stating it for those who may not know what that means.

Most of my vivid dreams are me trying to find something, or someone in some urban environment, with a sense of urgency. Just me searching for something, someone, or trying to get to some undefined place. Sometimes there are other people, sometimes not, but they never end up helping in my search.

In one of the most vivid memorable ones, it was night, and I was outside of a motel, looking into one of the rooms that had glass walls facing outside. The lights in the room were off, but there were blue, purple, and pink neon business advertisement marquee lights behind me, faintly illuminating the room. I could see living room style furniture, a bar, stools, etc.

I walked around to the side of the building, there was a 2 lane highway, that stretched straight ahead as far as I could see, with multiple hills. Along the both sides of the highway, there were buildings, that were illuminated with typical white highway lights, but the dominant light was blue, purple, and pink neon marquee signs. The entire night sky was illuminated with them.

That one is burned into my memory, it was so vivid, and real. It probably represents loneliness. I'm sure it does.

Feel free to TL;DR.

I'm trying this right now but it doesn't work. Am I not asleep? Is this shitty life real?

[–] secret300@lemmy.sdf.org 8 points 9 hours ago

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

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.

You can look for sword art anywhere. I guarantee the library has some books.

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.

[–] Dyskolos@lemmy.zip 7 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] Illuminostro@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

Off on a tangent, but I dated a woman who had sleep apnea, and wore the CPAP mask at night.

In the morning, because of being pumped full of air all night, she would fart the most deepest, longest, most glorious farts for like 2 or 3 minutes straight. We would just laugh, and laugh...

[–] kureta@lemmy.ml 14 points 19 hours ago

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.

[–] szczuroarturo@programming.dev 3 points 13 hours ago

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

[–] Illuminostro@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

Sleep with a nicotine patch on. The most vivid, fantastical dreams you'll ever have.

[–] ilhamagh@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

Eat more bananas !

Idk, i remember reading that banana makes your dream more lucid.

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 14 hours ago

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?!

Are you a stoner? That kills the recall of your dreams but not the actual dreaming. You just never remember

[–] 5wim@slrpnk.net 4 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

No, cannabis is understood to decrease REM sleep, and that "kills" the actual dreaming.

[–] Illuminostro@lemmy.world 0 points 3 hours ago

I sleep so well after getting mildly stoned.

[–] paddirn@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

Decades ago I used to smoke “regularly”, but even at my height I never smoked that heavily
