    Your cat has no idea that you are talking to your mic/camera on your pc it thinks you are just standing up rattling off noises and it senses your anxiety and is trying to calm you down by rubbing on your legs. How awesome are pets! Awesome how they try to comfort their owners.

      I used to get ultra frequent nightmares until my cat started accompanying me to bed. She would purr on my chest until I fell asleep every night of my life. If I had a nightmare anyway, she'd come back and comfort me a second time. I havent had one in 6 months or more. 🥰

      Okay, here's the reason I think that that works. Obviously, war is horrible (and all my hopes go towards war being only in pop-culture from now, and not in real life, even though that's never going to happen), BUT when you realise that all the fighting is happening over THERE, and not close to you, it gives you a sense of comfort.
      It's like you're very much aware of the danger, but also know that you're far enough away that you won't have to experience it. It's a weird thing. That's why people (like me) love rain and winter and snow. The whole coziness thing is because outside, out there, is miserable, but inside your homes, you're safe and secure. And cozy, away from it all.

    Hey, I'm narcoleptic.
    What you've described is actually cataplexy, another condition that most narcoleptics also have. But to be specific, the primary symptom of narcolepsy is a FUBAR sleep cycle where your phases go in random orders and timings. The tell-tale sign is that we often go straight into REM sleep, which IIRC is Phase 4, and is supposed to happen like an hour later. It makes for shitty sleep, and therefore lots of sleep deprivation.
    So yeah, most narcoleptics do become paralyzed (and often unconscious) in exciting/stressful situations as you described, AND sleep like shit. Cataplexy+Narcolepsy.

    I’ve dealt with chronic nightmares all my life, and had sleep paralysis a handful of times.
    Two dreams I remember the most are both about bees?? One was just a 2 second dream that was nothing but utter darkness but a bee stung my arm so hard I woke up???
    The other was a dream where I worked at a lab but all of us had no idea what any of the buttons in this sealed off room did, so someone randomly pressed one, and the room FILLED with bees until we all suffocated and died. And each time we died, we’d magically reappear in the exact same situation, and the person always felt compelled to press the button and couldn’t physically stop himself. I think we died like at least 10 times in a row before I woke up 💀
    I’ve also been lucid dreaming for the first time in my whole life the last couple months, which is weird as hell. I’m not great at controlling things, but I’m aware I’m dreaming, and I frequently have dreams now where I “wake up” into another dream, several times. Always aware I’m still dreaming. 🤔

    I only have a few odd dreams that are uncomplicated/not just horrifying.
    This is my favorite simple dream:
    We were at an outdoor party, at my grandmother's house (which was really just a shack, with a garden, in a rotating field), and I remember people milling about in nice clothes while I was looking for my brother. When I found him, I knew it was him, but in the dream, he was a human-shaped pile of lint in a fancy suit. He didn't say anything, he just lifted a corncob pipe and gestured a greeting in my general direction. Made total sense at the time.

      @Cobalon not gas but diesel, yes, but depending on how old the truck is, it takes up maybe 0.6 gallons an hour when ideal. In the grand scheme of things, that ain't much when you have usual at minimum a 145gal tank. The thing with trucks is that there are some times you have to keep the truck running, not just for comfort but for the trucks' well-being. When it gets below freezing the risk of diesel freezing or turing into gel is major and yes they have anti gel stuff you can put in thr tank but sometimes it's better to not risk it and keep it warm plus when it's really hot or cold you would much rather be comfortable and get a good night sleep than worry about a few bucks in fuel especially if you are company driver like me and don't pay for it anyway lol.

    the weirdest dream i have ever had (get prepared for an entire english essay) was going to the toilet in my new house upstairs; the toilet I used was in the bath (I'm not making this up) but for some reason this toilet gave me the runs. So, I went to the top of the shower (as you do) and went to the toilet up there and did my business. at this point I was certain that my dreams were telling me something about my bowels when I looked down and, I had a mermaid tail? There was then a cut and I was standing in a warehouse filled with plastic toys and I started shrinking, fast. The toys came to life and stomped me to death. I woke up and the real nightmare begun; Monday morning.

    In my high school psychology class, we had an entire unit on dreams, and we were even given dream packets(I still have mine) to fill out ourselves. Long story short, what we had been taught was that dreams are there to help us solve problems in our current/previous day-to-day lives, give our conscious selves an easier-to-digest storyline about the things we're dealing with, and our nightmares are suspected to help keep us vigilant and alive for the possibility of us needing to use our fight-or-flight reflexes(nightmares are essentially personalized, survival scenario simulators that your brain develops and plays for your conscious to see how well you'd react to said scenarios).

      I learned something very similar in high school but the new consensus is that there are just random bundles of neurons firing for the use it or lose it hypothesis. Dreams don’t make sense and are difficult to remember bc they don’t represent conscious brain function.

    • @Dichotious
      @Dichotious 11 місяців тому +2

      @@MentalBloopers (Not an argument here) I, personally, disagree with the 'use it or lose it' hypothesis; why would our brains make up a bunch of stuff that we've never seen, done, or had to deal with, then put a level of our consciousness through it, be it random or not? Then just shuffle through it all and delete/keep whatever it can(in essence, why would our brains make something, for seemingly no reason, then getting rid of it)? Also, I agree, dreaming is, very obviously, not a part of conscious decisions and rationales; that is what makes it so elusive to our conscious selves. Dreaming only makes sense to the parts of our brains that participate in it. We need to look there for our answers about the dreaming worlds our minds exist in.

    As someone who low key really enjoys the clatter of a diesel engine (big or small), I can see myself falling asleep to the sound of a semi engine, if the volume is low enough (or any monotonous white noise like sound, really),
    Also, I`ve been falling asleep with some background noise for years now, and I guess a result of stress of adulting (and a result of both family and career related problems) is that I would find myself obsessing over problems or just having my mind wander instead of blanking out so that I could sleep, and through trial and error in an attempt to get the bad thoughts to stop, I found that some kind of white noise in the background worked really well at giving that part of my brain that would wander and be really loud a thing to focus on (instead of bad thoughts), so that the rest of my brain can disconnect and I eventually fall asleep. My go to is UA-cam videos (usually something low key, like LGR or Technology connections, though other similer channels work too, so long as there aren`t too many loud noises), but I find the most effective thing by far for me is rain or fireplace background noise, I think in part because of cozy memories in those conditions, and I feel myself relaxing like melting butter when I hear rain...

I actually called emergency services it scared me so bad. The lady was super nice, and once she realized I wasn't on drugs and had just woken up, she kinda explained what happened. Apparently it's not entirely uncommon for people to call for that.

    I had a dream recently that my best friend died (and I don’t have many friends at all for context) but I would keep hallucinating that she was still there with me and I would be like “oh my gosh I’m so glad she exists and is my best friend I don’t know what I would do without…” then I would dawn on my dream self that it was all in my head and all of our good memories would flash through my mind and I would just be feeling pure agony. Never have I ever in my life felt as utterly destroyed and devastated as I felt in that dream and it was so realistic that it took me a few seconds when I woke up to process it was just a dream… my brain needs to stop

    That running engine one is great for us landscapers who used to sleep off their hangovers by the work truck

    Just commenting to say I love Tugg’s shirt today. That’s one of my favorite childhood books.

    back in high school i used to get migraines. the easiest way to deal with one is often to just go to sleep so nothing can make it worse. the downside to this is apparently an increased chance of sleep paralysis. I remember one time i hallucinated my mother coming into the room (i know because i asked her and she wasn't home at the time) as well as a few weird memories being distorted into waking dreams. It doesn't sound particularly terrifying, but just having to lie there while things happened around me and I had zero way of interacting was terrifying. Sleep is downright weird, incredibly subjective, strangely inconsistent, yet very necessary. It always surprises me when I hear that scientists in the field barely know what's going on and why we sleep. Sure, we know a lot of stuff that Tugg didn't bring up, like how sleeping will seemingly "clean" our brain of a buildup of chemicals throughout the day, but relative to other subjects, the scientific consensus is anything but concrete. great video, you tugged on a lot of my memories

    people really hate hearing other people's dreams so i'll just say this, I'm now terrified of my subconscious due to it holding me hostage one night, after taking away all my senses and then letting me know it can hold me there for as long as it wants to...... and then holding me there for a very very long time. I'll never forget that horror.

    I’ve had multiple weird reoccurring dreams that I have like a luxury school that has multiple cafeterias, one inside and one outside on the patio with an excellent view, and lockers in the library. Like in the bookshelves which is pretty weird. Also for some reason some of my favorite members of my favorite bands are there, like last week I was at my luxury school and my best friends were Fat Mike from NOFX and Dimebag Darrell from Pantera. Then I wake up and go to my average American middle school.
