Enough to have written them down and turned them into stories a few times.
fuck no, my dreams narratives are literal existential nightmares.
Often involve the meta narrative that I’m in a dream, with many fake wake ups, so when I wake up. i cannot be sure if it is a dream or not.
I once had the opposite. I woke up to a dream because “the story was okay, but this thing is so horrendously badly directed that this really is not worth watching!”
People kept being shown either from too close or from too far away and the director was concentrating on a lot of irrelevant things, and omitting a lot that would be important for actually undertanding the plot.
The dream was not scary to any extent. Just badly directed. So, I “left the theatre”, that is: Woke up. and was annoyed because I had managed to sleep only a bit over half of what I would have needed to. And couldn’t fall asleep anytime soon after waking up. It did not help that I felt like an idiot for this conflict between the “viewer” and the “director”. Like, how the hell is this even a reason to wake up? Just fix the damn direction if it bothers, you stupid viewer. You two are the same damn guy!
My brain is not clever.
Happens a lot these days. Yesterday i was dreaming about some english language exam. In the dream i had slept halfway through the exam, only to wake up 1 minute before the test was over and just writing some improvised answers. When i woke up, i tried to check what i had written in the dream and it was total nonsense.
Still amusing though. The test was plausible and the teacher had a very distinct personality (she liked me) and there was a certain atmosphere in the classroom. 10/10 would recommend.
I like how everyone simply has weird school dreams that we simply do not acknowledge.
“Ah yes, it’s that common ptsd from education system which follows you for life and affects your psyche even decades later. Relatable.”
Yeah. It looks like it’s universal (I am French). We don’t have such nightmares about work. It looks inhuman not to acknowledge that it’s not normal to give PTSD to our kids.
no it was wholesome actually, i think i’m past my PTSD-from-school phase
Ah that’s nice then.
I usualy wake up terryfied.
I just do world-building, the minimal plot (slices of life) is just to showcase the world.
Gotta write it down then do absolutely nothing with that banger story
I miss dreams. Haven’t really had one since I was a teen.
You have. It just takes mere seconds to completely forget about them when you wake up. If there’s anytime someone who will wake you up, ask them to immediately ask you what dream you were watching. You’ll remember it :)
Nah, I remember them sometimes. But they’re not dreams like I once had, best I can describe it they’re just a mass rush of incomprehensible images with patterns overlaid on them, like watching a video on 100x fast forward on a screen covered in a moving doily or something.
I have complete recall of my dreams. But that only started after I quit smoking weed. I kept thinking my dreams got super intense after quitting but then I realized they’ve always been that way I just couldn’t remember them.
I’ve been on medication for some years that completely removed all my dreams and they’re just coming back. That’s weird.
