This was really funny.

I can't recall any dreams I've had like this, in the sense of waking up and remembering that something saddening like this is true. I believe most of my dreams revolve around unfounded horrors that I wake up and recall to be false, to my comfort.

Lately I've been staying up till 3 or 4 in the morning and sleeping till 7 or 8 in the morning. I've tried to go to bed earlier but I'm having a tough time. What do you do to fall asleep?

I set a few alarms for the end of the day to remind myself that sleep is near. It helps me wind down and begin to relax for sleep. e.g. 3pm, 7:30pm, 10pm

as far as sleep tips go, binaural stuff knocks me right out. The only problem is I fall asleep before the track finishes, and I wake up with my earbuds tangled around me. I ruined a pair this way so I had to quit.

Between 1 and 3 for me.

Same. Trying to get to bed earlier, though, because I know that I need sleep if I want to function properly while I am at uni. ;_;

The only good thing is that because of a condition I have, I take adderall and that helps me stay away during the day.

Fake lucidity Anonymous 2015-08-29 22:24:42 No.1351 [Reply]

I often find myself wondering whether I'm really lucid or if I am simply /dreaming that I am lucid dreaming/.

Anyone else feel the same way?

Anonymous 2015-08-30 07:27:42 No.1355

Yep, I had the same thought.
Maybe because my lucid dreams don't feel "just like reality", like some say. A difference might be the rational access to waking life memories, for example in a dream you may see your dead dog, recognize it and interact with it normally, whereas if it were a lucid dream you would recognize it but you'd also remember that he died.

Still that doesn't answer the question.
I think the main characteristic of a lucid dream is the capacity to wake up at will, but you can't test it without ruining the fun.

dunno if this is at all relevant but my father died a couple of years ago and I told my sister-in-law that I don't miss him because he still appears in my dreams. He's just there in the background, sitting in an armchair or something, speaking only when something needs to be said.

Then I wake up and remember, oh yeah... he's dead. I checked his pulse myself 10 minutes after his heart officially stopped beating.

>>1362
Yeah, that's the kind of think I was talking about.

The other day I dreamed that I was trying to have a lucid dream but couldn't do it and gave up, then I started doing stuff in my dream house that was very different than my IWL house.
My subconscious must be fuarrrking with me.

Anonymous 2015-09-03 06:31:53 No.1366

I don't know if this happens to anyone else, but I often have the intuition that I am dreaming, without a manifest awareness. It's hard to explain, it's kind of an acknowledgement of the nature of dream logic in the current experience. You then proceed to act according to dream logic (though in a dream I usually just follow along without deliberate 'acting').
A good example is when I dreamed I was in the future, and I saw a futuristic version of a recurrent image in my dreams, and thought "lol, just like in my drea... oh soykaf thismis a dream!" But I just kept dreaming without any intentional attempt to use that awareness to my advantage.
Anyone experience this?

I'm not that lainon, but you're supposed to feel like a zombie for a couple weeks, but that makes you fall asleep almost inmediately after you lay down for your naps and your brain starts entering REM earlier, so you start getting a lot of rest from the small naps.

The main problem is that... There are not a lot of studies on sleep deprivation, potential long-term effects. There is also almost no real studies done on polyphasic sleep.

A main issue I see this that a lot of scientists look at this and go "Yeah. That's obviously bullsoykaf. Too good to be true, etc." but won't actually look into it. (perhaps lack of interest?)

However, because there is little to no studies done on it, people are experimenting on themselves. Which is..good, but it's hard to prove or have conclusive data on it... I mean, it /is/ a blog.

I'm actually going to be starting up a study on myself..But honestly, it's not going to help out very much. My girlfriend (studying neuroscience) will be taking notes of my reactions and cognitive function. BUT this is one person being studied...and it's more for myself than anything else.

Also, to answer OP: Yes I am interested. super bump.

If you lost your tingles, try a low sleep dose of DPH (diphenhydramine: benadryl, unisom). Something like 50mg should make you feel sleepy. Turn on your favourite asmr at this time and you'll get crazy pleasant tingles.

What of ASMR directly prior to sleep (IE: Falling asleep during ASMR "trip")? Anyone have any stories? How does it effect sleep, and more interestingly: Dreaming?

Anonymous 2015-08-26 01:39:20 No.1339

I don't know if this is ASMR, but especially when I was younger, when I got really excited I think I felt the tingling, but in my chest and so intensely I couldn't breathe. But I always got really excited and it was a crazy high for those few moments.

When you all dream, you are running around in a bubble world, a sort of prison which keeps you from navigating the open world system. All the bubble worlds are connected to a hub, which is essentially the open world system where all the dream people interact with one another, outside of your perception. You are not ready for the Hub. There is a lot of work that needs to be done before the Hub is able to be accessed. When will you join us?

The images of reality I see are formed completely within my own head based on input from my 5 senses.

The images I experience in my dreams are formed completely within my own head as well.

Because I do not know the true nature of reality beyond what I can conceptualize in my head, I cannot know what is beyond it. I can't do it.

If that's the case, are dreams and reality the same?

That's something that always got me about people who claim that their dreams are just as realistic as waking life.

The only time my dreams have ever seemed to me to be "realistic" is when I am in them, and I am convinced that I am in reality. However, once I wake up I realize that it was just a dream. Sometimes I'll come the realization while I'm in the dream, although I rarely gain the lucidity to control it.

I guess you could say that this proves that it's all just sensory input and awake/asleep makes no difference to your brain, but I can say this; every day I wake up to the same reality, but every night I dream a very different dream world.

Writing down dreams greatly enables you to remember more. Whenever you do recall a dream, write it as soon as are you able- and preferably before you are fully awake. After having fully awakening 80% of the dream is allegedly already forgotten. Keep a notebook by where you sleep.

I accidentally did that after NYE. Started taking naps and suddenly I found my sleep schedule upside down. soykaf was so cash while it lasted, I don't know why but I kind of felt more alive and energetic. The sluggishness I usually have had diminished. Too bad I had to transition back to a normal routine because of normalfag stuff and school.

You should probably do it gradually as >>652 said.

ive been all over the shop in regards to sleep schedules and ive got to say that waking up when the sun is going down can be... depressing.
ive found that waking in the afternoon is pretty ideal seeing as i have sunlight upon waking and still have some darkness as im going to sleep. i have very nice blockout window coverings, sleep in a west-facing room, use f.lux when i can, work at my own schedule and take classes in the late afternoon/evening, so its pretty sustainable at the moment.
if i had my druthers, id probably run a 26 hour day, but thats beside the point.
speaking as someone that needs minimal human interaction, try the nocturnal schedule if you like, but in my experience it takes a toll.
make sure you have a social outlet of some sort or you could start to spiral...
more to the point: its doubtful that youll find a qt3.14 if youre only awake at night.

Interesting suggestion. I just realized that this layered dream hasn't happened to me in a while because I'm a born again NEET with no reason to wake up at any time. The problem with your idea is that if I knew I didn't need to be woken up to get to work or school, I wouldn't have that dream in the first place. It's caused by the anxiety of knowing that the alarm is coming in the first place.
