Thank god my nightmares are not viewed in vim. I can't Google how to quit it while I'm sleeping!

[-] OpenStars@discuss.online 47 points 2 months ago

Might have to hit escape first if you’re not in ~~visual~~ normal mode

edit: I’m bad at remembering words

Would that mean your nightmare is all in ASCII?

[-] RamblingPanda@lemmynsfw.com 7 points 2 months ago

Might be. Some unrecognizable, nightmarish UTF8 mixed in with the wrong encoding maybe?

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.

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 also look for sword art online

[-] tmyakal@lemm.ee 10 points 2 months ago

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

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!

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.

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.

[-] paddirn@lemmy.world 17 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] kureta@lemmy.ml 15 points 2 months 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.

You'll know you're in trouble if you're arguing and he stares blankly and starts jabbing his finger at the air.

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

I usually quit by dying.

[-] secret300@lemmy.sdf.org 8 points 2 months 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

[-] hOrni@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

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

[-] itsnicodegallo@lemm.ee 8 points 2 months ago

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