  • “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”
    I have a tiny amount of control over my dreams. Sometimes it's like directing a film, other times like I'm acting out a scenario, and yet others like I am a character or the camera.

    See, the fun thing about dreams is that THERE ARE NO RULES

    Wanna lock a door but don't have a key? There, it's locked because I want it to be. It's my dream, I don't have to explain it.

    That's a rather mundane example, but still, lucid dreaming is effectively the closest I'll ever get to literal omnipotence.
  • The Mysterious Ballerina and her Tree Stump Ghosts
    Once or twice I've had lucid dreams. Many more times than that I've realised I was dreaming and then woke up.

    The problem is that I can change things or make things happen, but my subconscious just wanders on from one thing to the next so it can be a bit like swimming against the tide. I need to figure out how to marshal these things better.

    Retraction:

    A while back I made a crack about "SuperSU" being redundant name because "su" already stands for "superuser".

    It doesn't. It stands for "substitute user", but is designed to switch to the root user by default.

    "Let me tell you about my seasteading schemes senpai. Uguuu~"

    I kind of wonder how comprehensible my twitter is to outsiders sometimes.

    I've known you for like four years and it's still incomprehensible to me, so... :P
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    my dreams seem to work on the logic that if i want something, it will not happen.

    So if i realize i'm dreaming and try to control it, there's always this feeling of dread in the back of my mind, like, 'what if i can't control it?'  And this feeling is usually vindicated because at that point something really uncomfortable or gruesome tends to happen, and wishing it away never works.

    It used to be the same for me.. now I have pretty good control over them.

    Although waking up is basically impossible if I'm too deep into sleep.
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    Oh, the other feeling i often get is 'it would suck if [absolute worst thing that could happen under the circumstances at hand] happened, and unfortunately, since this is a dream, it probably will now i've thought that'.

    After which it almost invariably does.

    See, usually if things get bad enough, I can just choose to wake up

    Like I had a dream a couple weeks ago where I was being robbed at gunpoint and I was like "aw HELL no, wakey wakey time please"
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    i envy the amount of control you evidently have over these things.
  • Sometimes I think about food and I wonder why I even eat it. 
  • because you need it to survive

    also it tastes gud

    I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    I'm starting to resent that Disney bought Marvel and Lucasfilm. Not because I want to own them, but because the modern Disney Consumer Products only seems to care about a handful of things: Mickey and pals, the Disney Princesses, Winnie the PoohToy Story, Cars, Marvel, and Star Wars.

    Congratulations, next poster! You've won me adding "Weston Chandler" to the end of your username for a year!

    Same. I don't think I've ever been able to control my dreams. The closest thing I've experienced is where I'd wake up, go "that was a cool dream, I wanted to see what happened next" and then when I go to sleep the next night, my dream picked up from where it left off. That's only happened a few times though.

    Don't you dare. :P

    There are ways to train your mind to allow you greater control over your dreams, but I cannot recall any at the moment. It can be learned.

    Just keeping a dream journal helps IIRC

    “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”
    And just so you know, I seem to be most cognisant of that I am dreaming when my dreams are really weird or awkward, and sometimes that awareness or control amounts to my inner monologue saying, "I would rather that happen differently," or, "I need to leave now," and it doesn't always work.

    My dreams are rarely particularly normal, though.

    ^ I have heard that. I should try it.

  • The Mysterious Ballerina and her Tree Stump Ghosts
    I used to keep a dream journal, which helped me remember details from my dreams for a while. Then I stopped, and now I remember nothing
  • The Mysterious Ballerina and her Tree Stump Ghosts
    I could never remember the awesome music I dreamed up either way

    What good is having five days off from college in a row if you don't COMPLETELY WRECK YOUR SLEEP PATTERNS by staying up all night? :D
  • The Mysterious Ballerina and her Tree Stump Ghosts
    I once wrecked my wrecked sleep patterns by actually going to sleep at a normal time when I had a week off.

    It didn't last
  • My dreams exceed my real life
    Watching Blue Velvet, am 30 minutes away from the end.

    Jesus, Dennis Hopper in this movie.

    Also it's weird to see Jack Nance play a thug after basically being sweet old man incarnate in Twin Peaks.

    It suck, doesn't it? But when you remember it and write it down every once in a while, it's a great feeling.

    You know what holiday tradition I never really understood? The "kids' table".

    Like, I guess it makes sense if your normal dining table isn't big enough for everyone to eat, but in our family, everyone just crowds around a single table, kids and adults alike.

    Writing... music!?
  • yeah like notes and stuff
  • “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”
    My choir teacher taught us all ways to memorise intervals in high school, which makes remembering melodies and chords way easier.
  • BE ATTITUDE FOR GAINS
    TFW you know absolutely nothing about music

  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    i find that, when i wake up, the tunes are already gone, and all that i can recall is how they made me feel.

    Which makes me wonder whether they are really tunes at all, or whether i only imagine that i'm hearing music.
