My dreams are Netflix originals. The good ones get cancelled on a cliff hanger and the bad ones go on forever.

I keep hearing it’s impossible to go back to a dream but I’ve on occasion woken up and taken back asleep to the same dream. It’s nice.

When I was a kid and had nightmares often, I would wake up in the middle of the night in a fit of fear. I had to make sure I would stay awake just long enough that I wouldn't go back into the same nightmare again when I went back to sleep. It wasn't just possible, it was common

I feel the same, although it does feel different. It's almost as if I have more control because I know what's going on now. It's like the stage in between sleep and being awake.

Also, I have found I have the wildest dreams after waking up halfway through the night then going back to bed.

I've only had that happen when the being awake state was barely awake. I've not had it happen if I'm fully awake, try to go back to sleep, and want to resume the dream.

What if you were still in the dream when you "woke up"? :O

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

Scary. We don’t contemplate such nightmares. But I’ve forced myself awake from bad dreams so, can’t be too bad.

I remember being able to go back to sleep and resuming my dream. It usually happened if I reeeeeeeally wanted that to happen and kept thinking about the last part of the dream while going back to sleep.

I remember when I was like 13, I dreamt about a girl with white hair. Somehow I felt love with her in that dream, pretty wild. Anyways, we were just like hanging around and walking. When I woke up my "resuming" trick didn't work because I wasn't sleepy. I still remember her and it was a dream I had more than 15 years ago.

I had recurrent dreams, like dreams that I knew I had already dreamt, but the white haired girl never repeated.

Tell me about it. My giblet ass ends up trying to force myself back to sleep to finish a dream at least once a week.

[–] ThatWeirdGuy1001 8 points 8 months ago

I have the opposite problem. I'll be having a dream I'd rather not be having and wake up several times just to jump right back in where I left off

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago (2 children)

They are. They just share a save slot with the "figuring out where, who and why you are" functionality of the "wakeup" feature. Can't have both.

[–] MightyGalhupo 5 points 8 months ago

There is no why you are, even fully awake I wonder that question

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

Yeah, dreams are roguelike.

You guys have good dreams?

I dream of electric sheep.

Never trust auto save.

I have been having the same dream of hiking to a certain cabin, for years. When I'm awake I can perfectly visualize how to get there, and the landscape is completely fiction. I could even draw a detailed map.

[–] lugal 3 points 8 months ago

Never works. Well, the "go back to sleep" part does but not the other one

[–] FlashMobOfOne 2 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Side note: This may actually be possible one day. The technology already exists to digitize thoughts. It's just very basic right now.

Lucid dreaming. Will it, and make it so

[–] PMFL 1 points 8 months ago

Yap all the time, but sometimes it works.

[–] FlyingSquid 1 points 8 months ago

The only dreams I usually remember more than a few seconds after waking up range from unpleasant to straight-up nightmares, so I'm cool with never continuing those.
