According to anyone I talk to about dreams I've always been weird about mine because I'm NEVER in them. It's always either abstract weirdness or somehow dreaming up the entire plot of a non-existent TV series or videogame in one night. I've never had either dreams or nightmares that involve myself, even my nightmares are more like, horror movies than anything. At most it's in the context of "I'm playing a game" or the like. The worst is when I dream I'm playing a really cool game then I wake up and realize that game doesn't exist.

I thought I would have strange dreams when I was shotgunning Bloodborne into my brain a few weeks ago, but nope. Nada. Kind of a let down. Taking DMAE always gave me vivid dreams for a while, I should get back on that for a bit. It sounds like a rave drug but it's just a memory supplement.

I had a dream once where in the late 80's Nintendo made a Metroid movie but hired it out to some super cheap production studio. The sets were all ramshackle and the Space Pirates were all just a variety of out of shape guys dressed like this old Dr. Who villain: Samus was just a lady running around in regular clothes and any brief instance where she was wearing the power armor it was portrayed by super janky stop motion animation. It was cool and I wish it was a real movie.

Dreams are cool cause they're the only place I'm able to visualise things, cause otherwise I have near total aphantasia when I'm awake  "Picture it in your minds eye" haha what a funny phrase! You can't picture anything in your head!

Same. I can catch myself when I'm just about to fall asleep because I can suddenly start to visualise flashes of stuff. It's helpful to avoid snoring in really tedious meetings and presentations.

When I was meditating regularly I would have lucid dreams all the time and it was awesome. Just realizing "Hey, I'm dreaming. Let's change what's happening right now." Good times. Shame about my brain these days.

The pro move is to stay up so late playing video games that you immediately pass out into a dreamless sleep upon contact with your bed.

If you want to stop having dreams, just smoke weed every day. Er, apparently that only works for some people, but it works for me.

Dreams aren't great for me, because I can full-fledged 100% completely hallucinate at will pretty easily, and those are usually better than my dreams anyway - interesting landscapes and events, cool patterns and critters, as opposed to my dreams which are usually super boring and mundane and often stressful.

In persona 4 or 5, there's one class where the prof says like "people didn't dream in colour until colour tv was introduced". If that's true (it is) then imagine what 3d tv will bring.....!!

Back in the late 90s, I had a dream that was entirely scrolling text on an IRC client screen. Later I read that "people can't read in dreams" and was like "well, wtf was that, then?"

I legitimately don't understand that some people lack a mind's eye, like if I say the words "juicy booty" how could you not immediately visualize a nice round rear end??? Then again many people claim to have synaesthesia and I have no real strong opinions on the "color" of certain words.

It's not true. I'm sure those media affected what kinds of dreams folks have but they also dreamt stuff before those technologies existed. Best theory for dreams I've heard is its a way for your brain to model and simulate situations where you can do things without the ingerent risks of doing them in real life. Except it's a dream so you're hallucinating stuff wrong or impossible things or otherwise fantastic and wonky self generated perceived simulations of reality.

If that's true (it is) then imagine what 3d tv will bring.....!! Watching too much tv caused people to dream in the context of tv, which was at one time black and white. Likewise nowadays if you play too many videogames all your dreams might be contextualized as games too. Something about dreams is "unreal" enough for the mind to reject comparing them to actual reality and instead jump to other "unreal" experiences we're familiar with. When games and color tv add smell-o-vision, that same group who started dreaming in color again will start dreaming in scent too.

I’m very sure that “people can’t read in dreams” was invented by one episode of Batman TAS and everyone just went with it
