The second I realise I’m dreaming I wake up.

I think it’s because the second I am some level of conscious the deep rooted anxiety starts again and jolts me up 🙂

Nothing scary than real life.

At least you don’t go through a series of false awakenings when it happens. Those are generally not the most fun, since at best they ruin lucid dreams (it’s sort of a way for your mind to go back to sleep, and typically resets your awareness of being in a dream), and at worst it fucks with your sense of reality big time.

That’s why I don’t nap anymore… I lucid dream sometimes, but usually not with naps. Those are just hyper realistic emotion bombs with full physical sensation.

So one day I was having one of my awful nap dreams, and it was super negative, so I decided to wake up. So I did. And then I realized I was still sleeping, and tried again.. Dozens and dozens of times, every trick I could think of. I could feel my actual body unable to move (thanks sleep paralysis!), and I kept cycling back to dreaming, starting the whole thing over again.

Try spinning around in place in the dream! Sometimes it can help keep me dreaming cause I focus on my dream body and not my asleep body

You should try flying instead.

Dream Life Rage Quit

[–] krashmo@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That's hilarious because I've done the same exact thing before except it was the watch menu from the Goldeneye Nintendo64 James Bond game. It worked for several years as a young lad.

Dude i kept having fucmin dreams where i kept getting shot and my red health and blue armour would appear in my vision, and go down. Then I'd try to look at my watch to quit to menu, but it would be blown up just sitting there on my wrist blackened and falling apart so I had ti ride it out and die.

It would be me on the ground and then the grenade landing in front if my face and then going BANG that woke me up and got me out of there

It's just you trying to break out of the Matrix, but you keep waking up back inside it.

Starcraft 2 is seriously the only game that's ever given me performance anxiety. There were days when I'd sit down to play and I'd already have nerves and just nope right out and watch GSL VODs of pro players instead. Seeing your rating and all that, Platinum to Diamond, then Diamond to Master, that game was rough and you were always at risk of cheese and basically getting harassed to death playing a traditional build order

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago (2 children)

On the other hand I enjoyed that game for years without ever touching multiplayer....

It's always weird because everyone talks about how stressful it was, but it never was to me because I could just pause/save and walk away.

[–] _bcron_@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Up towards Masters people would get really creative and it was a shitshow, like you'd scout and see 1 rax and think you're getting rushed but they actually went two rax expo and tucked the rax and base in some corner, so you lost the macro game anticipating an early attack (or you'd do that same thing to them). It was just weird mindfuck stuff like that left and right lol. Basically hyper aggressive deception every other game and you'd have to play like that in order to survive

Personally i didn't really have performance anxiety, but I would get really pumped every match with my pulse racing and sometimes even my hands shaking afterwards. I always had to take breaks in between ladder games, only after an hour or two it would normalize enough to queue repeatedly.

The cheese didnt bother me much, I always loved macro and did that every game behind good scouting, often leading to some timing attack I built up to like a stim bio timing or tank marine drop.

I'm old, so I always got up out of the dream and turned the knob to switch channels.

I remember the first time I woke myself from a bad dream. I was pretty young, and in my dream I was being chased by a monster and I suddenly realized that it was a dream and I could chase the monster back. So I turned around (in my dream) and started to chase the fucker.

I recall waking up laughing.

[–] Stalinwolf@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Anyone else do an image search just to get a good look at that menu again?
