every day this week
Feb. 2nd, 2023 07:37 ammy alarm has gone off during REM sleep, and I could have done without knowing how anxiety-filled my dreams are!
Monday: I was back in law school, taking a final exam in biology (!), but I hadn't done anything for the class all year and also it included questions like "write a poem with this rhyme scheme" (!!), so I just left the whole thing blank and then went to the registrar to try and retake the class in the summer. I don't remember Tuesday's or yesterday's because I didn't rant about them to anyone, though I think one of them may have involved looking for a lost dog. Today was endless walking through a resort looking for my room where nothing was consecutively numbered and I was in everyone's way.To wit:
I'd like to go back to the dreams in which I can push off from the ground while walking and naturally rise up in a long low arc, like I was walking on the moon but less bouncy and much further, just skim-floating along. (Fun fact: this is the only time I've ever had anything even close to lucid dreaming. I used to have dreams in which I was walking or driving and I would lose contact with the ground uncontrollably and then have my stomach do the roller-coaster drop as I came back down—I don't remember ever actually crashing, just the loss of control and the plummet. Then one day, during my intense Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild phase, my dream-self realized, hey, I can target and control my landing just as though I were playing a video game; and since then, it's only the good kind of disconnection from gravity.
If you also have anxiety dreams, I sympathize but do not want the details in my inbox; also, please recall that I neither give nor receive unsolicited advice. Please feel free to commiserate over the long wait for the BotW sequel or share any other (semi-)lucid dream experiences, video game related or not, however.
+1 (thumbs-up, I see you, etc.)?
