    When I was younger, I was always scared to sleep near a mirror, because I watched a show where someone looked into a mirror and there was an evil version of them, and I was scared it would happen in a nightmare (still kind of scared).
    Also top tip for me, when I have a bad dream, I like to turn a light on, because having light stops my brain thinking nightmarish thoughts.

    Okay so... my worst nightmares are often about having arguments with my toxic mother. And the worst thing about these nightmares is that they're not exagerations. They were exactly like real arguments with my mother. That shows how nightmarish she is.
    I've had a few lucid dreams before but there's always a problem. Each time I try doing something that clashes with what the dream was originally about, I start waking up. I try to stay in the dream but I'm always unsuccessful and I wake up.
    I had sleep paralysis a few months ago too. When I woke up, my body felt super heavy and I couldn't move, and I felt like something bad could happen if I tried to force it. So I just let my imagination wander like I often do as my body slowly felt lighter and lighter as time passed until I could move.

Like I was in a dream and I was trying so hard to remember something but I couldn’t and woke up with a headache from how hard I was trying.

    I still remember my one and only sleep paralysis, I somehow managed to close my eyes so I didn't see anything but I could feel something was in the room with me.
    As far as bad dreams go, as a kid I had a lot of them. enough that there was legit lore within them, spanning for years. characters that began haunting me as a 3 year old would do so up until my early teenage years, evolving along the way. I actually finally defeated my dream arch nemesis as a teenager by making lewd remarks at it... weird way to deal with it but it worked, lol.
    later in life my dreams have become more of psychological torture than scary monsters.
    classics like
    -waking up to look at the clock and "realizing" I have "overslept" (not really a proper nightmare but I stress about alarms way too much, to a point where I often hallucinate stuff like this in my dreams)
    -the one where right as you fall asleep you fall and rapidly hit the ground (bed), waking up (not really a nightmare, but an annoying quirk non the less, one of the things I'd remove from the human experience, along with that "throwing up a little bit in your mouth every now and then" -feature.)
    -teeth falling out in front of the mirror from the lightest touch
    - being bitten by dozens of snakes on the ground (I like snakes but I guess there's still the primal fear)
    -room/area being very dim or low contrast and turning on the lights don't work or only cause a dim, hollow glow, as you anticipate some unknown force coming to get you
    -some artsy horror stuff like a dark figure standing over a frozen lake, under a freezing winter moon and dark sky with a very unsettling "camera angle" (think once used in Ari Aster movies)
    among others.
    every time I wake up from a nightmare, I curse the fact my mind is so creative at abusing itself while sleeping but during day time, when I could turn that kind of stuff into, I don't know, horror bestsellers, the only thing up there is permanent brain fog, lol.
    I have used lucid dreaming to escape nightmares a few times but I've also ruined many cool flying dreams by realizing that I'm dreaming and then loosing the power to do so. must be some kind of an insecurity thing.
    Dreams, they are funky.

    My "worst" dreams are honestly just the ones where I dream I wake up but it's really difficult to open my eyes and then when I finally do I try to wave my hand in front of my face to check if I'm really awake, but I don't see anything. So then I try to wake up for real and once again I realise I'm still dreaming, etc. I always wake up super exhausted after those.
    As a kid I used to dream about being naked at school or my teeth falling out very often. Those suck

  • @user3623
    @user3623 11 місяців тому +1

    WOW the background work is incredibel
    notes
    1. a lucid dream is a dream in which you know that you're dreaming and it is separate from dream control
    2. your brain can perfectly render your hands and has no problem remembering what they look like but because people associate their hands in dreams with some sort of visual issue, you can think of it as there are hands sin the dream but there's dream "code" referencing blurry dream hands and as a total the "value" of this hand is that it appears blurry purely because of this association in this case.
    3. same for clocks as #2
    4. same for mirrors as #2
    5. sleep paralysis is a side effect of certain sleep disorders or conditions and most people will either not experience it in their lives or experience it only a few times. if someone struggles with postdormital sleep paralysis then them lucid dreaming or not lucid dreaming does not affect their chances of getting sleep paralysis. what can happen because of an association or a mental link of sorts is that someone can be having a lucid dream and because they believe it can turn into sleep paralysis, they will then have a false awakening and think that they're awake and experiencing sleep paralysis. regular lucid dreams don't really have a risk of turning into sleep paralysis. another thing is, the only constant when it comes to sleep paralysis is not being able to move but you could see nothing, good things, bad things, you could hear stuff, see stuff, feel stuff etc.

It legit scared me that I couldn’t move for a second until I wrapped my blankets under my body and start to sleep again hoping it goes away. When I woke up again, it was gone. Talk about a nightmare

    I have very frequent lucid dreams, but they’re often sporadic “one and done” scenes or just images. Often after they happen, I wake up and scramble whatever it was into my notes so I don’t forget, because they’re usually somewhat funny. Nightmares on the other hand are another thing, because I rarely remember them. I get flashes of stuff and wake up with this horrible dread and anxiety. It sucks balls tbh

    One time in December I had a dream about my friend, I was sitting in my parent's room and talking to them (in my dream) and they have a massive mirror in their room and I have a habit of glancing into the mirror every time I'm in their room so obviously I did it in my dream but I could see myself perfectly. As if I wasn't dreaming, I wasn't distorted or looking peculiar just my normal self

    • @gwock1680

    tip for stopping nightmares (or dreams i guess): close your eyes. it usually works for me, though i will occasionally only half stop it, making me mostly aware of the real world but unable to interact, while still somewhat aware of and able to interact with the dream world. at this point if it happens, try to move your real body, because the more i think about the real world while dreaming the closer i get to waking up.

    I've only ever had sleep paralysis once, and I do not wish that crap on my worst enemy. It started with a nightmare where I was shot with a shotgun, point blank, in my chest. I woke up crying in a cold sweat, and realized in that instant that I couldn't move my body. My room was hella dark and almost distorted looking, like it stretched on to eternity in the darkness. Thankfully, I'd read up on how to get yourself out of that state (start at your fingers/toes and concentrate on slowly moving them, work your way up your arms/legs until you regain control), and I got back to normal before I saw anything too traumatizing.

    I love Lucid dreaming! Basically what I do is while I’m about to fall asleep I start to map out what I want my dream to be and start detailing it. After, I start telling myself I will control my dream over and over again. Then while I am dreaming I ask someone for the time and they usually go “I don’t know your dreaming” and that’s when it starts. Unfortunately once I did this and while I was flying in my dream I dived into the floor for fun and instead I got sleep paralysis. Basically everything turned dark and I got scared so I woke up but then my whole body felt tingly and I couldn’t move. Then I noticed this black figure on my ceiling with red eyes staring at me and I couldn’t move to save my butt. It was not fun.

  • @xpearl_heartx
    @xpearl_heartx 2 роки тому +157

    The problem with dreams that make it hard to lucid dream that nobody seems to talk about, is memory alteration. Remembering things that never happened. So, anything that would otherwise not be normal would be excused by “oh but I remember this happening so that’s why it exists”
    Edit: a lot of people seem to be misinterpreting this for some reason, so what I mean is, the dream will make up memories that never actually happened, and you only know they never actually happened when you wake up because… they never happened!

    For example, I remember a dream where I saw Garfield in the mirror instead of myself. And I was just like “Oh okay, I’m Garfield now. Awesome!” :)

    I sometimes practice lucid dreaming too! There’s a whole bunch of other tricks for practicing lucid dreaming, including trying to read, trying to speak another language, asking someone if you’re dreaming to see their reaction, or trying the nearest light switch while expecting it to not work properly (try that last one at your own risk, it can go VERY wrong if you’re unlucky). But my FAVOURITE is to summon someone by thinking of them or calling them, particularly a fictional character.
    I had plenty of nightmares as a kid, and these days while I’m not as prone to them, they can be BAD when I get them. So over time especially after getting really into old iconic horror movies, I found a really fun trick for starting to cope with nightmares. I would call for Freddy Krueger. No, really. Imagining a version that was a bit nicer and meant to protect me rather than murder, it was super useful to bring in this perfectly suited dream demon to chase away whatever scary thing was the problem, to the point where he’s gone on to appear during far less lucid dreams. One time I’d been getting chased by an angry mod of some sort only to be picked up by him out of nowhere and carried because I’m terrible at running in dreams. Another time all that was happening was me in some sort of prison school getting bullied by my old teacher, when Freddy shows up behind me, tilts my chair back and immediately tells the teacher to fuck off.
    Basically when it comes to the dream demon himself, if you can’t beat them, befriend them. It pays to have something scary on your side.

More the losing the loved ones part is what my brain decided on. I usually had to forcibly just change the setting at that point because I couldn’t think up a way to solve that in its context.

    I've had lucid dreams, nightmares, and sleep paralysis before. The lucid dreams are stuck in my head and they were both on very sensitive topics. One of human-ya know and the other about war. In the first one, I was lucid at first until I saw a tiger and then I lost control. In the second I wasn't lucid until I saw the same tiger and I realized that I was in a dream.
    I've had multiple sleep paralysis moments. One was when I couldn't move and heard someone banging on my door. In another there were white spiders all over my room, and the next was when someone tried to kill me. The latest one was pretty chill man's black silhouette watching me sleep snd then just walking away. He seemed nice.
    The way I find to help me escape sleep paralysis is wiggling my toes. It helps my body wake up and seems to be the only psrt of my body that I can freely move.
    My first nightmare the night my grandmother died and I didn't mourn at her funeral, and I was around 9. We were in the house my father grew up in and I went to her room, while my father, mother and aunts were in their room. In that house, which is in village, the two rooms are straight across from each other with just the living room in-between. I went to my grandmother's room and I saw her looking into that old mirror. I tried calling her but she didn't listen. I tried calling my father but he didn't come, even when I told him what I saw. I went back to that room and looked at my grandmother's reflection only to see now facial features on her face. She then turned around, knife in hand, and killed me.
    I had others but jeez grandma you don't gotta do me like that.

    I’m obsessed with cats, and I’ve always wanted to be a cat. So when somebody told me about lucid dreaming and really wanted to try it, it sounded fun you know? They told me the same things that you did to make sure I’m in a dream, look at your hands, look at a clock, or a mirror all that stuff. And I didn’t actually do it, I just somehow recognized I was in a dream, the dream was I was in a classroom with lots of people I didn’t know, when I found out I was in a dream I guess I didn’t remember the part where I could control everything and become a cat like I wanted too. Something I never should have done was say “I know this is a dream.” When I said that the whole classroom went quiet all the their kids turned their heads like owls, then I felt like I started to shrink, it was like you put the fov all the way up, all the kids were warped and tall. The teacher was also looking at me, I heard her heels clank on the floor walking toward me. She said “You aren’t supposed to be here.” And everything went black, a couple seconds later I realized I woke up and had my eyes open, the reason it was black was becuase it was very dark in the room, my phone was next to me so I grabbed it and turned on flash, I looked around the room and in the corner I saw a weird, foggy kind of black tall man, it was blurry and had no face, long arms and long legs, kind of like MR kitty from that one BACKROOMS level. I was so scared. I Immediately turned off the flash and covered myself in my blanket. It has never happened since.

    4:14 What you experienced was a False Awakening. Where you think it's real life and you continue your life as usual. So it is recommended to do a Reality Check (look at your hand, count your fingers, try to push your finger through your palm, etc.) when waking up, even when you are sure you're not dreaming. It is a Lucid Dream, but you think it's your daily life.
    Also, it is recommended to not look in mirrors during dreams, because you don't know what's in there. Mirrors are strange in dreams, but it is possible to just see your reflection, because whatever is in the mirror it's what you expect there to be. In your case, your mind expected there to be something creepy so unfortunately it became a lucid nightmare, but happily you woke up. :)
    Anyways, lucid dreaming is amazing, there are a lot of ups and some downs. But I recommend everyone to try it, because it is more amazing than you think it is.
    Thank you for reading this, have an amazing day.

    I learned to lucid dream as a kid. I wet the bed until 12. Eventually I learned to wake up anytime I saw liquid in my dreams. This eventually turned to intentional flying. And of course sleep paralysis. But I also created an escape room because I also have really bad nightmares. If I'm being chased by zombies, or whatever, I imagine a door that opens into a beautiful meadow. Nothing bad EVER happens in this meadow. I spend time building this meadow irl, and try to think about it when I'm going to sleep. There's a tree, golden dust motes, a gentle stream, flowers. Never any scary bugs. Butterflies and fireflies only.

    Was normal after some point for me to have control over my dreams. I thought it was normal to be honest, until someone in my class said he is trying to learn how to have lucid dreams.
    I was pretty much always able to tell when I was dreaming and like I said, at like the age of 6 having lucid dreams.
    Also the tips you said, with like looking at your hands/clock/mirror actually don't work for me.

    My scariest and most detailed nightmare in a while was basically where me and a bunch of other teens were kidnapped by a monster that looked a lot like Kissy Missy. The conditions were if we did her chores and did them well, we could leave. However, she was really strict and the slightest mistake could provoke her into attacking (I remember being yeeted at her closet for checking my phone.) I was worried about my friends and family, so I tried to escape through a window that turned into a tunnel, but the monster noticed I was gone and dragged me back, and that's when I woke up.
    My S/O says that my nightmare probably stems from my perfectionism and fear of getting in trouble, and they have a pretty good point about that, as I've had a borderline phobia of authority figures being disappointed/mad at me for years due to trauma.

    I always tend to have an easy time identifying when I'm in a dream. Because while I can feel things like I was in reality, there's this distinct floaty feeling I have. I feel like I'm floating and while I can experience pain in my dreams it always feels strangely numbed.
    My issue is that after recognizing the floaty feeling and realizing I'm dreaming, my body automatically attempts to wake up fully or I end up feeling uncomfortable and want to roll over so I'll be more comfortable. Rolling over typically wakes me up further.

    I had quite a few cases of sleep paralysis. They don't happen when you're sleeping, it's in between. It's when your mind has woken up and you realise you're awake, but your body didn't yet. You can see the real world and open your eyes a bit, but it's like you don't quite proccess it, like you're not completly awake yet.
    So you basically can't move besides a few twitches if you reaaaally try, and you can't breed properly, just small exhales (dunno why). You're basically in panic, but can't do anything for a few seconds. That's why they say there's a demon siting on top of you

  • @casperslays1

    I become lucid whenever I have a reoccurring dream. For example:
    The starts out in the hallway of a hotel. I see a janitor coming out of a hotel room, which I assume was mine. Once I saw the janitor, I knew he’d chase me.
    A gut feeling mixed with the countless dreams I’ve had about similar situations, I suppose.
    Even thought I was aware he’d chase me, I still didn’t know it was a dream.
    Anyway, the man walked right past me. *This is your chance to run,* I thought.
    I ran down the hallway, and found myself at a fork in the road.
    I always choose to run to the right, don’t know why.
    In front of me is the exit of the hotel, and on the left side of the hallway is an… adoption center?
    A second janitor waits at the door, and when I try to run outside, he grabs me.
    This part is a bit weird, but every time I have this dream, I kick him in the balls. Then, he drops me.
    Anyway, I run out and into my mothers empty car. I get into the backseat.
    The first janitor gets into the front seat, and I crawl into the trunk.
    A woman comes out of nowhere, and looks at me through the glass of the trunk window.
    This is the part of the dream where I became lucid.
    I forced myself to wake up.
    Every time I have this dream, I just follow the same pattern: Wait, run, right, kick, car, trunk, wake.

      Heh, the bit with the adoption center reminds me of a dream I had once. (Also, when I woke up from this dream I had a lot of deja vu, like I'd had it before, but I wasn't sure.)
      I also changed perspectives multiple times in this dream, so I'll just describe everything as a spectator.
      A dog
      Was hungry
      And she was only hungry for one thing:
      Chicken fries.
      She got up and fetched her owner, a boy of very vague age. From 13-25. He knew exactly what the dog wanted, so he sighed and picked up the leash. The closest burger king was a few blocks away from their house, so it was a short walk. As soon as she saw the door, the dog started excitedly scratching at it. (For some reason, the door they walked up to was metal, like one of the service doors in the back, but it led to the front of the restaurant anyway. Whatever.)
      And when they walked into the building, it was a burger king.... inside of a senior citizens center.
      This place was massive, bigger on the inside than the out. It was based off of a senior citizens' home that I'd seen online, where they built tiny homes on a fake street with a plastic lawn for people with dementia. The burger King consisted of a single counter in the corner closest to the entrance. There was also a corner dedicated to used book store. After the two ordered their chicken fries, the boy went over to check out the books. He was busy reading the back cover of an old paperback when a commotion broke out in the residential area. His grandmother, who lived in the SCC, had spotted a man. He was a tall, dangerous man that they had encountered in a previous adventure. (Which i had not dreamed about, i just knew it existed as part of the lore of this dream.) The grandmother, who had dementia, did not necessarily remember who the man was, only knew that he was dangerous. So naturally, as rabid grandmothers do, she attacked, knitting needles and all. The general crowd of SCs slowly began to take notice. They swarmed and overtook the tall man in a terrifying show of strength. The grandmother stood back and cackled demonically, screeching "Rise, RISE! Come to my aid!" The boy, fearing for his grandmother's safety, ran in to intervene, but there was nothing he could do. The man was completely enveloped in vicious old people.
      The burger king workers did not care. They were depressed.
      Giving up his case, the boy and dog collected their chicken fries and went home.

    I once had sleep paralysis where I was in my bed and it felt like there was a force pressing me down. I have a very squishy pillow top mattress and a bunch of pillows, so it felt like I was sinking down down down, like there were hands on my shoulder and chest physically pushing me. I couldn't breathe like there was a weight on my chest and felt like I was about to be smothered. I eventually woke up but that's the one time I remember having sleep paralysis. It freaked me out so much that I thought I might be sick or something lmao.
    I've also had weirdly 'narrative' dreams if that makes sense? I remember a particularly vivid one about going to the land of the dead and speaking to my mother (who is not dead), asking her to come back with me to the living world and her refusing. It helped me realize that my relationship with my mom was never really ever going to improve because she wasn't willing to put in the work, and therefore our relationship was 'dead', and I had to accept that. I also once had a weird dream where my brother (who is dead) was in my apartment rearranging my things. I got angry and told him off, but when he turned to me we both went quiet and one of us said, "We should probably talk." Then I woke up. I didn't get along with my brother and we had a very bad relationship growing up, and we'd barely started repairing it when he died. we never really got to have a serious talk about what happened between us.

    The worst nightmare I've ever had went like this: So, I was at my grandma's house, and everything in the room I was in was fine, the carpet, the desk, the couch- everything, but through the window what should have been a driveway was instead a lawn with a sidewalk curving through it, going back and forth so it covered ~1/2 of the lawn, and here's the scary part; There were these 2 old ladies(?) who wore a ton of shawls and cloaks and scarves so you couldn't see most of their body, and a few times throughout the dream I could see their faces, and I only remember being scared by them, and then at the end of the dream I font remember what happened but I remember screaming with fear from presumably seeing the ladies' faces. Also while I was screaming I remember being embarrassed because I thought the other people in the room would be angry at me for screaming, the people were normal and doing what they would normally do in the real world, but they didn't notice the ladies at all.
    Edit: The ladies' clothes were brown and black and maroon and I don't know what could have caused it but I think it was when I was 2-3 so I was pretty young, there wasn't any trauma that I had that could have contributed, at least none that I remember. The room I was in, again, was almost perfect so I was probably at my grandma's house when I had the dream.

    If the sleep paralysis happened when the whole toxic boyfriend thing was happening/ had recently passed you could’ve had a stress kind of paralysis. I’ve gotten this before when my parents were going through a divorce and it reminded me a lot of what your animated representation looked like. Anyways, stress is actually one of the hugest factors of paralysis and sometimes it represents something. The demon might’ve been your ex boyfriend trying to take control of you and you not being able to do anything about it could’ve represented how you felt during that. I hope this helps or brought you new information and someone found any flaws with this please let me know!

    I heard mirrors are a bad idea in dreams because you can see pretty much anything. It can just look weird or so unrecognizable that it comes off as disturbing. Also, with experiences I’ve had in dreams, the scary parts of nightmares are pretty brief and you forget about them or wake in fear. However I have dreams where I was somewhat awake and remembered about something scary that happened in a dream. This scary thing kept coming up because I was paranoid throughout the dream. In dreams your thoughts basically become reality so if I think of something scary it could appear behind me when I turn around moments later. This is one of the risks of lucid dreaming. If you have a nightmare but are aware you are dreaming your entire dream basically becomes a nightmare. Not only is there possibly sleep paralysis, but also lucid nightmares. This is why I have never tried to lucid dream anymore. Sure it’s cool but I think it’s important to know the risks before jumping right into lucid dreaming and is something everyone should know. So by the chance you found this and for some reason read it all, just take into consideration of what I’ve said.

    I honestly one time saw figure in my room and it was saying “go to sleep *insert name here*” but when I told people they were rude and said you we’re just dreaming in a rude tone and it made my day worse.

    I believe I’ve had sleep paralysis twice. Once it was just straight up I woke up and couldn’t move at all, I could still talk a little bit though. My mom came into my room to wake me up and I managed to say “Mommy, I can’t move” I was like 10. Second time it happened it was much like yours, desaturated room but I managed to look to my left and see a figure made up of dust particles floating around in the beam of light that comes from my closet (I can’t sleep in complete darkness) I sugar honey iced tea you not I heard a voice say “You’re okay, close your eyes and fall asleep” and I managed to do so. I explained to my family what happened the next day, from then on I kept seeing more and more weird things and I just came to the conclusion of “I have a ghost buddy who’s taking care of me”

      Something similar happened to me with the last one.
      There was like a loud crash of lightening and it woke me up, but i couldn't move or open my eyes. I began to freak out when all of a sudden I felt a hand on my back and in my ear I heard a deep raspy voice say, "Its ok, just go back to sleep." and I did.
      It's been years since that happened and I still remember it clearly.

      Just...let me get that right. You have a closet...and at night...there is light...coming out of your closet. I mean it's totally fine if that helps you sleep but tbh? That's one of my worst nightmares 😅 (and my room has to be completely dark, I cant sleep with any kind of light one. Even the light from like my computer on Standby. Drives me crazy) 🤣 but the different habits of sleeping are kinda fascinating
