more people will pray for you than will post about having done so. I almost didn't post this because I believe heavily in silent humble prayer but I don't have pms, and you might benefit by knowing of it. I think just by virtue of needing prayers your pleas are heard by the judge of the dead and in their way will be answered. What you are not blessed with now will be your blessing later, gather your grace and what you are blessed with now, and I hope you feel better soon

Knowing nothing about your specifics, I have drawn some comfort from the following short talk, which deals with the interrelatedness between suffering and happiness. Without mud, no lotus can grow. (it takes a bit of set up because its introducing what non duality--what Thuy calls "interbeing"--which is a bit of a difficult concept to grasp for us Westerners but he does an excellent job here I think) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=schlgVvKoDk

Thanks everyone, I'm just having bad night and as the sage Adam Duritz says "the price of a memory is the memory of the sorrow it brings." I appreciate all of you  I'm a Buddhist but a bad one when I fall off the wagon. Anyone ever had a dream that is so powerful that you're crying in your dream and wake up in tears? sharknado slashfic has issued a correction as of 05:31 on Nov 9, 2023 |

Also i was fighting someone evil like maybe the actual devil and we got to the point where we were literally rolling on the ground manually strangulating each other and welp I strangulated myself awake with my own hands clamped down on my own neck as far as they could physically go.

I appreciate all of you Constantly My girlfriend wakes me up sometimes, because while they're not really regular occurence, i have emotionally perilous dreams where anger, sadness, despair, etc. Can manifest irl as crying and screaming. A fun one is i was literally screaming "KILL YOURSELF" to our mutual ex, over and over in a dream a few weeks ago. You'll have to take my word for it that it's deserved and also not something id actually try to say to them, but yeah no imagine waking up at 4 am because your spouse is flipping her poo poo on an ex in a hotel room one dream over and two feet to your left lol Dreams are an emotionally perilous place sometimes it's normal and okay to happen sometimes and regular occurences might indicate trauma or ongoing issues but it's a thing thats ok to have happen

Reaching the "wanting to wake up" point in a dream is a great starting point to realize it's a dream and achieve lucid dreaming. When it happens do something like checking what time it is and usually it's all garbled and helps you realize it's a dream.

I’ve had multiple dreams where I am overcome with an immense and overwhelming sadness, almost without direction or cause, just a deep mourning, and I will wake up crying. Sometimes in dreams I also see landscapes and vistas so beautiful or hear music so wondrous I also cry in awe, the clear details of which, however, rapidly recede. It can be very affecting.

I hope drawing attention to it isn't sort of the opposite of what you had hoped would happen but... I really appreciated reading it, and really wanted to tell you that. Thank you. sharknado slashfic posted:Hesitant to post this but I'm not doing great bird thread, could use some good vibes or prayers or whatever you can send me. Need to keep my head up but it's hard. Shark, you've rapidly become one of my favorite people to see posting on this forum. You are deeply loved and cared for by your community, I hope the outpouring of support on this page makes that obvious. Do something kind for yourself today, please. We will all be thinking of you. Without mud, no lotus, as Bilirubin said. I often think of friction similarly. It is sometimes an obstacle, an opposing force; but it is itself not an inherent enemy. It is friction that inspires and develops motion, change, acceleration. I never thought I would be the kind of person able to look at personal difficulty and conflict and understand their value as tools for growth, and yet that has come to be the case. I wish that you, and the rest of us, did not need to experience the sad, difficult, painful times that we do. But we do, and so I ask you to hold to the knowledge that the way you perceive the growth, the movement, that you will develop from these trials will eventually shift. The overwhelming difficulty you grapple with now will fade. The lessons you will have earned from it, the personal change, development, and understanding that will result... those will stay with you. You will be grateful for them. They will help you. We, your friends, will support and help and love you while you get there.  And you will get there. We promise.

since we're talking about dreams here, anyone ever have mundane recurring dreams about a place they've never been? I've had a dream for years about a restaurant that serves some really great sandwiches in some kind of rural area. it's got a gravel parking lot, is a two tone shack with the bottom being a barn red color. it has a kind of unique porch area for eating. thanks to a random Google search I strongly suspect the place in my dreams is a place called Roots Bar in New Zealand (its at the top of the south island). I've only left the US to go to Canada once. I'm thinking it's time to get my passport and check it out. in a weird synchronicity, I told a friend about this and he said "oh, you'll love new zealand. I've been there a few times. they're bird people, and you'll appreciate that." I don't talk to him about the bird thread, but he meant he thinks people there have bird personalities (whatever that means). I don't have any strong beliefs or superstitions about my dreams in this case, I'm just curious if there's any similar experiences and also to reinforce my own thinking that if you accidentally discover the place you've been dreaming about, you kind of have to go, right?

And it's called Roots??? I would absolutely make the pilgrimage if I were you  and in particular, you being you, and given your previous experience with having had a sort of vision in the past... it is calling to you.

This is really, really cool! I can't recall ever dreaming the same place twice. Similarly though, I've had a couple of deja vu dreams over the years. Sounds like that place is calling! It's weird, the only near constant of the dreams I can remember over my lifetime besides the two deja vu dreams and always exclusively, never together, are being killed (thankfully these stopped a few years back) and being in buildings with impossibly huge architecture and rooms within rooms, exploring. sharknado slashfic posted:Hesitant to post this but I'm not doing great bird thread, could use some good vibes or prayers or whatever you can send me.

there are a lot of places that have achieved specific-place-ness in my dreams that were not just made from whole cloth, but spun from raw fibers. they dont always look exactly the same or have the same layout, but my sense of space in dreams is usually v mutable and loosely-sketched in the first. certain rooms, architectural styles, things like “is this space cluttered?? what sort of clutter is around???”, and design/theme motives all stay consistent; but incidental elements move all around. there is a beautiful, old house w an overgrown yard and a variable number of hidden rooms (almost always in one connected “wing”, not a thing where my mind-rogue needs to roll to find secret doors in each room)—great natural light in most of it but got some good deep shadows. it started showing up in my dreams maybe 20-25 years ago and sometimes just, there i am again!!! there are lots of such places in my dreams but that house sticks out the most. spent a great deal of time in the esoteric wing, watching vines and talking w close friends who also only existed in the dream

I mean I've dreamt a couple of times about events and with people and places I would never usually be at or around, and later after having the dream the thing happened, triggering that deja vu feeling

Just spent a little bit of time concentrating on sending you some energy, friend. If you're anything like me, when you're in the middle of something it can be really easy to forget that one way or another it'll end eventually - that you'll be stuck feeling this way forever. But you won't. Suerte and much love until you're out of it, though

I get extremely vivid and familiar looking / feeling visions of different places I am not sure I’ve ever physically been to. There seems to be around 5ish places my brain always takes me during those moments and they always feel extremely nostalgic. I spend a lot of time thinking about those places and what they could be, but I realize it’s probably just my weird brain being a weird brain.

I have a waterpark dream location too. There's no slides it's just a large shallow pool with those like mushrooms that drip water from the top. The water is a pale blue and the air is smothered by fog.

i have semi-recurring dreams of going to the same weird building that's basically a dark souls castle. don't have to fight anything, though, just wandering around but there's always the same drawbridge and main gate. then i have others where it seems like the events of the dream are exactly the same as i've had previously. dreams are neat except when I'm having night terrors. had one the other night where i walked into a closet and then the wall started bulging out into a point like someone was pushing a plane of latex out of the wall and it pinned me against the opposite wall and was slowly crushing my esophagus/sternum. woke up my wife screaming with terror and it turns out i was sleeping stupid and was kind of choking myself. i think there may have been a nightmare on elm street where something similar happens with the wall
