Danaru: Jun 5, 2012; 何 ??

I have a thing with Sleep Paralysis, where 100% of the time it happens, my brain thinks something Five Nights At Freddy' related is going on, like if I dont get to my (already closed) door and close it Bonnie's going to bust in and kill me, but naturally I cant move. It's gotten to the point where I can recognize when I'm sleep paralyzed and force myself to stand up so it fucks off. It's hard as poo poo to do but my unyielding rage is more powerful than any dipshit gland.

Speaking of which, one time I was lying barely awake thinking about red pandas when I felt a sensation like when you get startled and you feel a lightness behind your heart a second before the adrenaline hits your bloodstream. In this case, a second later WHAM sleep paralysis. Like wait until I'm asleep you rear end in a top hat what's the point of this

Actually, it's just me. I've been living in your closet for like a year now, because rent is too damned high. I only do it when you're starting to snore, though.

Is there like an opposite condition to sleep paralysis? Like... sleep freaking out?

Where you wake up and all the sheets are pulled up and off the bed, and the top mattress is half slid off the bed.

Canned Panda: Jul 10, 2012

I have that Exploding Head Syndrome and it's annoying as gently caress. I'll be just about to fall asleep and I hear a loud rear end nose, like my kid fell out of her bed up in the room above us. Then it always takes a while to get settled back in.

And one of my co-workers came up to me the other day and said, "The past few days, I've been dreaming that I wake up, and I can't move. I can't even talk. It feels so real!"

I said, "That sounds like sleep paralysis."

And he said, "That's an actual thing??"

I probably should have let him keep thinking it was a weird recurring dream.

Paladinus: Jan 11, 2014; heyHEYYYY!!!

I keep on having this reoccurring dream, where Tobey Maguire watches me eat cream. Tobey asks me, can he have the rest. Then he proceeds to pour it on his chest. Atop the tallest building of a cityscape scene, suspended from a construction beam, he stares into my soul, watching me as I lick the bowl. Now he's naked in my grandma's bath, I start to cry, but he just laughs. Gazing hungrily into my eyes, he removes the hair from his inner thighs.

You know lucid dreaming? That thing where you're dreaming but you're aware of it so you can control your dream?

No, not like inception, that movie isn't factually accurate.

Recognizing you're dreaming can be trained but usually it's a crapload of work for very little reward. The common way is to train your brain to recognize things that are 'off' in dreams which can make you lucid halfway through.
There's a much more difficult, advanced technique where you can lucid dream by somehow staying aware all the way from wakefulness directly into the dream state, so you can be lucid from the start. It's called WILD (wake-induced lucid dreaming), in contrast to techniques such as MILD (mnemonic-induced lucid dreaming).

From your description, I'm pretty sure you're about 90% there to mastering that advanced technique.

I have non-REM sleep parasomnias (I sleep walk and sleep talk, but I'm not acting out a dream) and it sucks. Maybe the opposite of sleep paralysis, sleep wandering around doing disorganized things. When I wake up in the middle of them, it's ookily spookily scary. Now I take medicine that knocks me out all the way at night.

You should check out some of Mike Birbiglia's stuff because he has it as well and speaks very frankly about how it has affected him and what he has to do about it.

last night I had a dream in which I was working retail in a clothing store inside my childhood home. there were like fifty employees and no customers. we got called into the break room which was where the garage was supposed to be, and this big bearded assistant manager started ranting and raving about how we "can't talk about gay marriage because we don't support gay marriage at this company!"

I piped up and said "what are you talking about? this is embarrassing." He proceeded to get in my face and yell incoherent poo poo until he just started pointing at himself with his thumb and repeating "I'M PRIDE! I'M PRIDE! WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THAT??" I didn't respond and the room went quiet and the meeting ended.

I went out to the front yard to call my wife and tell her about this crazy guy in the meeting, but she wasn't having any of it. She just kept telling me to go out to the pool in the back yard (my childhood home did not have a pool) because her friend left his sunglasses out there on a towel and he really needed them.

I went to the back yard, and sure enough there was a pool and some sunglasses on a towel on the ground. I picked up the sunglasses, and turned around and there was a skunk right behind me. I started scrambling away from the skunk and trying to get in the back door, but there was a loving lawn chair hooked to the belt loop in the rear end of my pants and I couldn't fit through the door.

The skunk sprayed me, and I finally got inside to find that everyone was in there waiting on me and they started laughing because they all knew there was a skunk out there, and my wife was in on it. They all hated me because I made a scene at the meeting. Then I woke up.

Now my wife keeps yelling "I'M PRIDE!" at me

I mean, it's more coherent than most arguments against gay marriage, I'll give him that.
