Thats like the first couple steps to doing lucid dreaming. You were close!

How do you know that you're really lucid dreaming and not just high on drugs. What if you took drugs and forgot and you don't play it cool and end up in jail?

It's endlessly amusing to me that after all the effort they put into this thing -- inventing a symbolic mathematical system based on the hydrogen atom, curating a selection of sounds and musical recordings from the entirety of human culture, debating whether the arrow symbol elsewhere on the plate would make sense to a culture that had never hunted with spears, even deciding that it would be better for the two characters to not be holding hands lest aliens think they were a single organism -- it was considered absolutely unacceptable to put a single line on the lady drawing's va-jay-jay

my dreams are normally ok when i remember them but i've discovered that altitude fucks them up. one time i was staying in a mountain hut in the alps at maybe 3800m and woke up to my girlfriend elbowing me really hard in the ribs because i was screaming so loudly that i'd woken the entire hut lol

Maybe thats part of why I was so hosed up sleeping in Vegas? It's probably lower elevation than normal for me

i had that dream once except i was wearing a fursuit and i was extremely not comfortable with it. i was also showing up to a class like 3/4 of the way through the semester that i had forgotten i was enrolled in up until that point (which is apparently also a pretty common dream).



my boyfriend had a similar dream and woke up at 3 in the morning nearly kicking me in the dick

i wonder if it's actually a place youve been before in your dreams, or if your dream-brain is just convinced of that, like deja vu. like, do you have a waking memory of the place from before? ive had a sensation of recognizing a dream location before, but after waking i dont remember having thought of the location before

I'm VERY NEARLY like this - I don't really have a "picture" in my head when I think about most things - like, I get visual flashes of bits of an image I recall but I can't hold the image for any length of time

what about things that you are imagining, rather than remembering? like, if i say "imagine you are in a grassy field. a computer is there. a bird flies overhead"

puts me in mind of yet another one of those evergreens, the one in which you think you've just woken up but just can't seem to move your legs

in a similar category: where you think you haven't fallen asleep yet and are lying on your side, but feel the bed deforming like someone or something is moving onto the bed behind you and you're supposed to be alone and aaa

i cannot visualize things in my brain either. i know what things look like and i can kinda imagine them briefly but nothing i remember or imagine sticks around for more than a second at most. even when i'm hallucinating or w/e

sometimes there are similarities to real place but often there are huge egyptian steps or a massive tree that shadows the whole city or something that makes it obviously a dream. i think its something like when there are directions involved they get stored in the part of my brain that actually remembers street layouts or something. it doesn't happen all that often, maybe once every couple of months or even years apart between locations, but when it does there is like a weirdly vivid moment when I'm like 'i've been here before' and then the normal dream weirdness continues as normal. still a crazy de jevu tho.

new borrowers movie looking slow
I just showed my kids the borrowers movie for the first time last weekend. They liked it enough, but I was struck with how similar it felt to Stuart Little in tone and visually. Both had Hugh Laurie too. Maybe he specializes in movies that feature tiny characters?

Shadows, really. Flashes of green and a general shape for the field.

i also have familiar dream locations that i remember across years and it's always a nice feeling to find that i'm revisiting one. sometimes if i've been having a particularly cool dream i've been able to continue it on consecutive nights but that's pretty rare, happened more often when i was a kid
