Sleep deprivation. It’s borderline narcolepsy when you’ve deprived your body of meaningful sleep for so long that it skips all the bullshit and goes straight to REM sleep.
Used to happen to me a lot on the bus home after work. I’d just slip into a dream, scare myself awake thinking I missed my stop, and realize I was only half a mile down the road.
But now imagine there was a way to trigger this on purpose and remain lucid.
Time dilution is absolutely real. Allowing us to experience more “life” per time but Its that controlling part that’s tricky.
I’ve read that keeping a dream journal helps. Basically, you’re training whatever part of your consciousness is still active in dream land to notice that it’s important.
Nobody told you life was gonna be this way
👏👏👏👏
Your life’s a greentext, you’re Anon, your sleep paralysis is keeping you awaaake
OP visited the “Friends zone”
On mobile, at quick glance, the negative space between the elbow and body looks like him puking all over a table.
No one going to call out that anon has sleep apnea? Dude just dozed off and stopped breathing and his brain wrote a quick narrative to explain it. People talking like anon went to another plain, but this is just some shit your brain does when your body is so dumb it forgets to breath when you fall asleep and your brain is desperate to wake your ass up so it can get its oxygen fix.
Yep this started happening to me a year ago. I was finally diagnosed with sleep apnea a couple months ago. I’d wake up screaming and gasping for air right after falling asleep, and sometimes in the middle of the night. Scary as fuck. Thankfully CPAP stopped it once I got used to it.
Plus, statements like “felt like hours” can mean many different things. Anon says it felt like hours, yet doesn’t describe very many things happening. The sort of amnesia-like feeling of waking up from a dream when your brain has flushed your short term memory down the drain and has to rebuild context for what happened can be described as “feeling like hours passed” when not much time passed. Anon’s dream doesn’t have many details because, like all dreams, it wasn’t terribly long. It felt like a long time, because like all sleep, there is a very distinct gap in your perception of time about what happened.
Damn, he accidentally ended up having an episode instead of watching an episode.
The worst part is, he didn’t even miss any of the show!
Try finger, but hole.
Why is it always shitpost…
I binged too much Elden Ring last year and got stuck thinking in this message format.
Sleep paralysis. Worst shit ever.
Nah, sleep paralysis keeps you fully aware of your lack of motion, anon was walking in the dream
So noone told you death was gonna be this way
Echoey clapping from the stairwell
Sounds like your supply of Friends may have been contaminated with Twin Peaks
This happens periodically if I take Benadryl before bed.
Is that even still used for medical purposes? I thought it was more of a meme product at this point
Is that even still used for medical purposes?
Uh, yeah… Very much so. Pretty much every family has a bottle of it hanging around somewhere.
It works for allergies, it’s a general purpose antihistamine
Its one of the few things in the cold aisle that does anything, even if its overpriced in most of its various marketed forms.
