I noticed the last two nights… my dreams have had me looking into a mirror while topless, I keep having random hair changes, I’ve questioned whether I was in a dream while dreaming, and I’ve been aimlessly trying to get places but I’m confused.
Well then…
9:00pm edit: Two articles came up in my feed regarding lucid dreaming. I don’t really know much about it, but apparently it happens sometimes. I think it has in the past and I’ve forgotten it or it’s been so rare. I’ve woken from dreams before thinking they were so real. I had a hallucination last year of an argument outside my door that never happened, of being paralyzed in bed, and then waking up. It was hard to tell what was real and which wake ups were still within dreams. The fact that I couldn’t move my head from facing right to looking up and hearing a loud terrible noise in my left ear made me wonder if I experienced a seizure. I don’t have that medical history, but I know they typically happen and night and some people go undiagnosed, I also know the script I was prescribed off label, and take periodically to help me sleep, is an anti seizure medication and taking those of you aren’t prone to seizures will lower your threshold.. making you more. susceptible. to. seizures. Wtf. I think that ended up being some night terror induced paranoia for a couple days and that was it.
The last time since it happened was New Years in the hotel when I kept waking up in the dream but was still in the room at Mandalay and you were beside me every time. I was paralyzed in the part where I wanted to yell at dream Sean. Lol. I didn’t know I was actually dreaming in either of the two examples where I’ve been paralyzed until after I woke up for real.
So I’ve had dream within a dream situations before. The last two nights I went from I think this is a dream, to this is a dream, without immediately waking up. It’s strange, but at least there’s no paralysis or terrible audio hallucination.
I think it’s interesting some people try to have lucid dreams on purpose and one of those steps involved a dream journal. This archives been going for years just for the sake of doing it. I wonder if I brought this on myself or if it just happened. Maybe it’s stress? I wanted to blame ginseng since there’s a link but only the last example occurred after I started drinking the tea. I’ve also been so fatigued lately I can’t remember the last time I took a script to help me sleep.. so maybe that’s part of it too.
