When I'm in that state, I don't remember old dreams, I create new ones that blend in with what's happening around me. Like I see that I'm talking to a frog, but the frog is saying everything on the TV that's still playing.
If the frog starts singing the Ozempic song, do you punch it across the room?
No. You lick those. Makes for some wild dreams!
There's an Ozempic song?!
I get that too right before I fall asleep! At least when I'm sleeping in public. My brain distorts and abstracts what's going on around me into a weird half dream. Then I fall asleep.
but the frog is saying everything on the TV that's still playing.
Woah, that sounds wild. My dreams aren't that trippy
I don't get to read much anymore, but I used to be reading books at basically all times. Many times I've fallen asleep, book in hand, and continued reading a book that - it would turn out - had nothing to do with the book I was holding.
Sometimes, I wouldn't even have to turn the pages. Instead, I would just continue reading the other side of the page in front of me.
On occasion the story was much more interesting than the one the book actually presented.
Too bad you can't sleep write and publish that shit!
Seriously!
Definitely annoying if you like to journal that kind of stuff. I've thought about putting a notebook next to my bed
Yeah. One of my hobbies is making music and my brain always dreams up the biggest bangers when I'm half asleep. Unfortunately waking up and/or trying to input them into the PC makes them disappear almost instantly.
I start having pleasant auditory hallucinations. I’m also very susceptible to delta waves like white noise putting me to sleep. Might go together. 🤷🏼♂️
For me, it has been a decade of be tired, wake up later.
I've had maybe a dream a year which I actually remember, and they are always of being taunted and then myself attempting to save the taunter from doing something very foolish that will put them in great danger, and then they die gruesomely, and then I die horribly and jolt awake.
I thought it was when my eyes start drooping when I'm trying to get a couple of hours of gaming in before having to go to work the next morning
Last time on Your other life
Wait, you remember your dreams?
I do, for the first 5 minutes of being awake. But I come back to the same places over several nights, so those dreams must be stored in there somewhere (although I can't access those mempries while awake).
Some do and some don't, it seems highly personal.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted, clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts: 1
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report the message goes away and you never worry about it.
