/yume/ - Dreams

wasnt sure if this should go in misc or a new thread because its a dreamlike hallucinatory before sleep experience without technically being a dream (been an extremely long-time lurker of uboachan since the old site but never posted but what happened to me recently was so weird that im breaking my silence) but does anyone else experience the sort of "falling" illusion of motion when you're about to fall asleep? i get this especially on my back and usually right before dreaming and am fairly sure its common enough that others will know what im talking about.

However, the other night i experienced something like this but if it were just absolutely cracked.

imagine for a moment you are lying on your side. youre extremely tired but not fully asleep or getting that usual sense that youre on the edge of dreaming like the falling feelings tend to happen in. instead, youre just lying there minding your business when suddenly you have the sensation that you begin to rotate, as if you were lying on some kind of rotating disk. like resting in fetal position on a record spinning on a record player. except it isnt as gentle or consistent as a record player would normally be, its fast, jarring, and switches from clockwise to counter-clockwise without rythm or reason. your actual body is not moving but your entire internal sense of a body is and you are feeling it violently, as if your soul was being jostled around but still remaining centered in the same place as your tired flesh that just wants a god damn break.

i got up after trying to just let this happen and be taken into sleep but that didnt work and it got so uncomfortable to feel like i was moving that fast that it was impossible to ignore. it has never happened to me before or since then. i almost considered posting this to /x/ instead because it was probably the closest ive come to feeling like something evil decided to ruin my night in particular but id rather not jump to that conclusion.

anyone experienced anything similar or other senses of motion while falling asleep/pre-dreaming or am i just fucked?

Does anyone keep a physical diary for dreams? I usually write my dreams on my phone first thing when I wake up. But now I have this nice book and I wanna use that instead.

Pros
-Draw images of locations, maybe characters in dreams
-It's neat

Cons
-Slow
-Can't revise so easy
-Someone can easily peer into your unstable psyche


What are your experiences with journaling? Any tips?

Why you are never but NEVER supposed to use a toilet in a dream? How actually dangerous they are?

anyone else have dreams of gory situations? i continually have dreams where my innards are spilling or I'm being shot to death in a school shooting, or chased by freakish monsters. no clue what the fuck this means but i was curious if anyone else here deals with this.

Lucid dreams are a fantasy world that I retreat into, as the fantasy world is far more interesting than the real world. In real life, I got the nickname Ladybug (which even my parents call me) as a child because I always painted ladybugs on my cheeks (and I still sometimes do). While I work multiple highly unusual jobs in real life, I am always Ladybug in real life. In my lucid dreams, however, I often take on wild alter-egos, including circus acrobat Butterfly (with butterflies painted on my cheeks), intergalactic bounty hunter Dragonfly (with dragonflies painted on my cheeks), Medieval witch Moth (with moths painted on my cheeks), prehistoric cave-woman Firefly (with fireflies painted on my cheeks), WWI fighter pilot Lovebug (with lovebugs painted on my cheeks), superhero Bumblebee (with bumblebees painted on my cheeks), supervillain Wasp (with wasps painted on my cheeks), vampire slayer Doodlebug (with doodlebugs painted on my cheeks), and over-the-top, guitar-smashing rock star Junebug (with junebugs painted on my cheeks).

When I am myself (Ladybug) in lucid dreams, I often fly with ladybug wings through incredibly surreal environments (although, more recently, my lucid dreams have become increasingly dark, violent, and sinister, and my non-lucid dreams have followed suit).

It goes without saying that all of these lucid dreaming personas are wildly fantastical ones that could never manifest in real life. My circus acrobat persona Butterfly is the only one that has any basis in reality, as I grew up in a family of traveling carnies. However, I could never be a circus acrobat in real life. As a result of an extremely overactive pituitary gland, I am incredibly tall (I'm 7'2''), I have an enormously stocky, broad-shouldered frame, I have M cup breasts, and I wear women's size 24 shoes. Nobody would even be willing to let me ATTEMPT acrobatics. However, I should say that, when I take on these personas in my dreams, I still have the same body that I do in real life - but the rules of real-world physics, obviously, don't apply in dreams.

I sometimes also take on these personas in non-lucid dreams, although not as frequently.

Does anyone else have any recurring personas that they take on in their lucid dreams? What about in non-lucid dreams?

What's good music to generate a dream

k so.

this was fucking ages ago

but its one of the very few nightmares i rember.

so in this dream im playing some shitty hidden-object side scrolling flash game, with like a goofy hallowe'en theme. yknow, like pumpins and sheet ghosts and shit. and its running on a nasty old early 2000s lcd monitor. so the gay little bastard im controlling with my mouse collects 18/19 hallowe'en thingies, and i click at the edge of the screen. and suddenly, im on a screen that, in the dream, i've seen before, with two scarecrows made out of brown raster fabric, one of which is falling over on its rotten wood pole.

almost immediately after i load in the screen, though, the upright scarecrow starts flashing a myriad of different colours and fractals pegin to permeate its shitty clipart texture, stretching infinitely inwards to the point where the shitty lcd monitor shouldnt be able to display them but it does.

and the weirdest thing about it is? it gave me such an unimaginable sense of terror that i almost immediately woke up

pic is a shitty mockup but its close enough i guess

sorry if this posts sucks mad ass lol, im a newfag and have barely touched imageboards so dont really know the etiquette beyond whats listed in the rules please be nice
