When I took a nap this evening I had a super vivid dream about a 3d (hentai maybe?) game set in the star gate universe even though Im pretty sure I’ve never watched a piece of media set in the star gate universe. Anyway the main character was some sexy black lady in an Egyptian costume and flew a pyramid spaceship that looked vaguely like pic related. I also discovered an Easter egg that an alien saucer spaceship was hiding in my backyard. Why was big pharma keeping these dreams from me?

>>24249881hell yeah, get off that gross shit!!! meds are there to sedate you and surpress....i've been off my meds for about 3 years now and i feel so much better than before but it took being on them to realize thatas for dreams, what i've been doing is when i first wake up i use voice to text on my phone in the notes app to get all the details written down somewherenow i can remember my dreams pretty well and recalling details is so much easierdreams are so satisfying and im so glad to have them again
>>24249881fucking cool dream wish i had thati had a dream a few days agoi was in a microsoft skyscraper for some sort of "challenge" with a couple dozen other people, it was empty other than thatwe were supposed to stay there for a few nightsi kept trying to leave on the first night but this iranian guy was following me through the elevators & staircases, eventually i was able to sneak out thoughi walked to a bustling restaurant, i guess it was dinnertime/evening, it was dark outthat's all i remember reallylast cool dream i had involved some crazy mirrors edge type architecture, i was on the top of an infeasibly tall building
>>24249886My mom also said I do weights at the gym to fast, she says it’s like a “vampire fuck” when I asked her about it she said that vampires fuck really fast because the average vampire sex scene in the show “true blood” is 15 to 30 seconds long.
>>24249895>what i've been doing is when i first wake up i use voice to text on my phone in the notes app to get all the details written down somewhere>now i can remember my dreams pretty well and recalling details is so much easierveri good advicedoing that consistently can increase the likelihood of lucid dreams as wellalso yeah based getting off the meds, you and melonade :Dmy mom spent like a year or two tapering off xanax, she said it was extremely difficult
>>24249895I’ve been thinking about dropping my dosage to 15 mg and eventually weening myself off them. All my dreams are kinda like that I just usually don’t remember them cuz of the SSIRs. >>24249896Yeah, I find I have a lot of dreams where I’m in tall buildings. One that keeps reoccurring is this abandoned hotel with a restaurant at the top level (sometimes bottom). That one’s always kinda creepy and very liminal space feeling. Also seem to have dreams about aliens a lot.
>>24249913cold turkey is tough, i tapered some but was pretty rapid....gosh my life is so much better now without it>All my dreams are kinda like thatyou're fortunate i would say, not everyone gets epic scifi talesmost of mine are also epically scifi but mostly about some sort of apocalypse thats happening and more like an active nightmarethats been happening for a long time, even before the meds so im kinda used to it>Also seem to have dreams about aliens a lot.here is one i posted on bant a while ago if you're interestedhttps://archive.palanq.win/bant/thread/23904601/
>>24249929>you're fortunate i would say, not everyone gets epic scifi talesthis very much...>>24249913>One that keeps reoccurring is this abandoned hotel with a restaurant at the top level (sometimes bottom). That one’s always kinda creepy and very liminal space feeling.ooohi think i've only ever had one recurring dream, i can't remember what it is rn thoughthe structures/environments in dreams can be really cool thouhg, yeahalmost like game environments sometimes
>>24249929>https://archive.palanq.win/bant/thread/23904601/extremely ominoususually when unsettling things happen in my dreams, my heart rate increases enough that i wake up pretty quicklyi also tend to remember those dreams more clearly, along with ones with awe-inspiring thingsur dream reminded me of a vaguely similar onethere wasn't much of a narrative to it that i could remember, but it was apocalypticthere were anvil clouds but like way way taller than they should bechunks of buildings/rubble were being pulled upwards into the stormi was standing near a shore looking at this city being destroyed a couple miles awaythere weren't many people left, either it was evacuated or something elsei turned to the only other person standing at this vantage point, he was black and he had a briefcasehe had a look on his face i wish i could describe, it wasn't like panic but something elsehe said something in a foreign language and then i woke up, i think his face and the tone he was speaking in are what woke me up at that point, it got to me somehowwriting really badly rn sorry
purple lightning in the storm as well, also way higher in the atmosphere than anything should've been
>>24249881what was the gameplay like?
I had a lot of issues, and I used to take medication for them, but I stopped medication completely and overcame my problems on my own. I thought I had depression for years but it turns out I probably wasn't really depressed. But I did suffer from intense emotional pain, but I learned things like learning how to deal with emotions on my own.
>>24249929>>24250139>>24250194The vivid exploration dreams are always like a a FPS walking simulator but actually there. Sometimes I see world in a freecam mode but those are rarer. Rarely does it feel like an actual game where you’re picking up items and doing quests and stuff but I have had those too. Sometimes there are even open-world map screen I can access.Here are some frequently reoccurring locations in my dreams: >A northern polar Arctic research station/tourist destination, sometimes both at the same time for some reason.>A Las Vegas style city, looks kinda like GTA San Andreas and Fallout: New Vegas. Desert region/desert planet with lots of mines, caves, and ancient tombs with occasional sandstorms. >A small mountain town in America, looks vaguely like Montrose Colorado but much, much smaller. >A large spaceship made of industrial brown steel, kinda looks like something out of Firefly or the Riddick movies.>A large castle-like structure somewhere on the east coast, looks like some of the old forts in New England.>An open-world video game island chain like something out of the Just Cause or Farcry games. Sometimes it’s just one island that looks like a horseshoe and sometimes it’s a lot more. >Open grassy farmland intermixed with rolling hills and light forests. Looks like something out of eastern Colorado or Montana.>A Minecraft-like world with deep underground crevasses that seem to go on forever >A three-story house that sometimes is like four stories and also includes a wearhouse and/or is connected to a small co-op mall my family used to own. Sometimes the co-op mall is separate.>Random fallout themed destroyed cityscapes. It’s probably more but that’s all I can think of right now.
>>24250208Did they teach you that in autism class?
>>24250604>FPS walking simulatorbooorring you should dream about something cool like an imsim with roguelike deckbuilding elements
now i wanna try making an imsim deckbuilder that sounds like fun experiment
>>24250604>Rarely does it feel like an actual game where you’re picking up items and doing quests and stuff but I have had those too. Sometimes there are even open-world map screen I can access.:oi've never had either of those that i can rememberi once got mauled by a tiger near a railroad in the woods, it kinda switched to freecam mode as i was dying, then i woke up>It’s probably more but that’s all I can think of right now.pretty cool locationsi need to rewatch the riddick moviesi went into a maintenance area of the luxor hotel once, irl, it was very disorientingdiagonally arranged cubes of metal support structure with steep stairs between them, iircone dream location i keep thinking about was this strange, elaborate structure of connected pools in a big glass pyramid club/resort thingit was vaguely like a waterpark but there were several bars, you could walk long distances through the pools to get to different areasfucking weirdit looked really cool at night>>24250650:o
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0L9SzBANF0w&t=88the club with the pools/bars had this sort of vibe1:28 if the timecode doesn't workfairly calm and not too many people
>>24250957>the club with the pools/bars had this sort of vibeit was huge thoughsome areas were indoors & some were open to the sky
>>24250162>>24250604yeah nice these are the best kinda dreams and you can lookup tips on how to recall, stay in dreamstate, or not jarr yourself from them so you can get back into it or remain dreaming if you end up reaching luciditya lot of is is self talk but some of it is reaction (or no reaction), like if you ever become lucid its very instinctual to force something to happen rather than flowing with whatever IS happening and then guiding it to what you want to be doing IE flyingflying dreams are the absolute most kino shit ever and they're always a bit differentmy favorite is when i can reach the clouds and zip around near the surface and duck/weave between them....havent had one in a while though :(
>>24250629do you have any manga recommendations or do you just nab fun screenies from places?
>>24249881you should see your doctor about your schizophrenic thoughts
>>24251167>a lot of is is self talk but some of it is reaction (or no reaction), like if you ever become lucid its very instinctual to force something to happen rather than flowing with whatever IS happening and then guiding it to what you want to be doing IE flyingyeeesi've had a few periods where i tried to lucid dream, it only worked once or twicethe very delicate balance between awake & normal dream was annoying for meif you get too excited or lucid, or you try to control the dream too much, it gets less vivid and you risk waking upbut if you let go too much you can stop being lucidi learned a few techniques but not all the ones you mentioned, might have to look into thosei didn't really have the discipline to do much more than WBTB and keeping a dream journal lolit's probably worth doing, though>flying dreams are the absolute most kino shit ever and they're always a bit different>my favorite is when i can reach the clouds and zip around near the surface and duck/weave between them....havent had one in a while though :(:ousually in my dreams i have to concentrate really hard in order to fly, the few dreams i remembercould maybe get to a point where it doesn't take that much focus though, somehow
>>24251177i would tell you but i don't want people to bully me for my poor taste in literature sorry
>>24251184>i don't want people to bully me for my poor taste in literature sorrylmao faggot
>>24251179the trick to lucid dreaming is noticing, you gotta notice 'that aint right', like i've had dreams where i should be in pain from a massive wound, cant talk, having trouble with movement...something SOMETHING isnt right and once i notice thats when i'm able to achieve luciditylucid guides will tell you to check often for things that are out of place and 'that aint right' has worked for me, im sure everyone is a bit different>techniquesone of the most important ones is to spend 5 minutes before you fall asleep TELLING yourself you will remember your dreams and you will look for signsyou can also do this throughout the day to help train your mind too>>24251184this tells me i really want to know, maybe discreetly another time? :p
ANYBODY ELSE GOT ANY DREAMS?
>>24250610FUCKING LITERAL GLOWIE LEAF CANADIAN STALKING THE INTERNET LIKE A PSYCHOPATH
