Jollity Farm posted:I tend to assume all dream stories are modified, though. None of my dreams are ever so coherent, and by the time I've got up and onto the internet, all I can remember is something like "I was looking for the room, but it wasn't there" which is not much of a Tumblr post on its own. I have long rambling dreams almost every night and it's the goddamn worst. It's nothing twee and exciting, more like "I've adopted a bunch of dogs that turn into snakes, and I keep losing the lids to their tanks."

I'd prefer that to my current pattern, which is things like "wake up at 2:00 A.M. with the absolute certainty that if I don't make it downstairs in five seconds I'll die."

For a while I kept a notebook and pencil by my bed. To write down any dreams if I woke up in the middle of the night. Ended up with sentences like "Need more red penguins", "underwater wheelchair race" and "The shop was all out of staircases". Realised keeping a dream entry book was stupid.

Dream journals can help with recall, but guess it might depend on a person. I had to keep one for a psychology class in college and had some pretty vivid and memorable dreams in that week I kept it.

It was like Three's Company, except a Muslim, a Jew, and a WASPy white American girl, all non-religious except in how they were raised, and living in an apartment in the occupied Palestinian territories. Also the American girl was vegan. It was very important for some joke that I can't remember. Until I fully woke up I was convinced this was going to be an amazing show.

I have an excellent dream journal, with gems such as "the needs of dough makers take precedence", "huge amoeba", and "18th century sluts with boobs on the calves of their legs" (also some pretty involved plots but that's less fun) Covski has a new favorite as of 22:24 on Sep 11, 2019 |

I had a fever and dreamed about having to screw a large wooden screw into some poor woman's bum because she was constipated and then I needed to borrow some pliers to pull the thing out but when I came back with the pliers everyone had been cleared out because Xi Jinping was about to arrive for a visit.

Last time I had a dream I thought was worth writing down, it was an idea for a TV show that would have been a combination of The 100 and Battlestar Galactica and probably would have sucked.

As long as it’s not especially abrasive or loud (like death metal or power metal) or has spoken word stuff (which I instinctively try to focus on), I can fall asleep to it. It gives my brain a distraction from all the thinking that would normally keep it awake when not completely exhausted.

My dream story nobody cares about: There was this ghost that was forcing itself down my throat to kill or possess me or something? And I bit it. That's when my girlfriend yelled and slapped me for waking her up by biting her in the back of the head.

One time in my dream I told myself a joke that I didn’t get. It was something like, someone’s violin needed to be fixed, and someone in the dream said “I guess it’s ba-roque” and dream me was like “really? It seems like modern construction.” I don’t know how it’s possible to not get a joke when the source of the joke is one’s own brain e: none of the quotation marks or apostrophes I wrote seem to have made it into this post.

GAINING WEIGHT... posted:I don’t know how it’s possible to not get a joke when the source of the joke is one’s own brain I had one of these. The fat ghost uncle said he was going to "lose 10 pounds" and flew toward a food cart down the hall while a curtain was closing. His ghost powers didn't include passing through objects so he ran into the curtain and was denied the food. I didn't understand the quip until I woke up. Brains are weird, but I've come to think that the dream joke was probably just recycled from a waking experience, and my dream self is just bad at getting (even terrible) jokes.
