just wanted to point out that most people don't have a lifetime of nightly nightmares, and your could be eased with some therapy, or at least mushrooms and puppies.

and if you LIKE nightmares and want more, slap on a nicotine patch right before you go to bed.

I used that stop smoking drug back in the day. Forgot the name, makes you ill if you use? Holy shit the dreams!

I'd have the most horrific nightmares, but they didn't bother me in the slightest. I loved going to bed, it was like going to a new horror movie every night.

Now I have even a slighty spooky dream and sometimes have to turn the light on to shake it. Speaking of, there was a "dog thing" I dreamed the other night that's going straight in my next horror short.

Champix?

[–] Almrond 2 points 2 months ago

Chantix, and yeah, that's probably it. I had the most vivid dreams on it.

ok, so yeah. The only time i've ever had a sleep paralysis experience was when i went to bed with a nicotine patch on. I "woke up" (but not really) to some random blonde lady creepy-smiling while standing over me in my bed. I tired to scream and push her away, but i was totally frozen and couldn't do anything. After a couple of seconds, though, I woke up for real and she obviously wasn't there at all. The strangest part is that when i did wake up, it didn't really feel like I had. It felt like i was awake the whole time and she just disappeared at exactly the same time i regained motor control. It was absolutely terrifying.

My brain literally doesn't function properly when I sleep, it doesn't send signals for my lungs to exhale so it probably is doing other things wrong as well.

Once I started on CPAP there was a huge drop in adrenaline shocks to my heart while I slept.
