  I did too, and also stopped. This is the last dream I had written down, and I didn’t understand it at the time, I still don’t understand it now.

  “Me and my sister (not real sister) are taveling together, and we have the help of the universe/internet. She can talk to it, and I can… do something I forget. We go to like a Mexican restaurant, and try and get some food. I ask universe if I could speak to it as well, it says no. We also learn that there are 6 other people with connections to the universe in Southern England (apparently where we are). As an internet sweep begins (everybody but us is frozen and things lag a bit), one of the other internet people comes to the store. Then… I wake up lol. Thats the end”

    I, too, took to writing dreams. Had one where Robotnik takes Sonic’s wife and I have to help him or something. Hopefully no one finds these notes lol. Some things are better left in the past

    I could feel this. Like how the person you were with was your sister, but also not your sister. You had a sense of familiarity with whoever you were traveling with, the same feeling as when around your sister. But at the same time, she wasn’t literally your actual sister. It makes sense in dream-thought, even if it doesn’t make sense in awake, logical thoughts.

    I could imagine dreaming that whole thing out myself (except maybe the being in England part, since I’ve never been there.)

      Neither have I, I’ve never left America, I just suddenly became aware that we were in Southern England

  I’ve been actively Journaling my dreams for over 10 years, I’m scary good at remembering them now. For me my dreams act as inspiration for future stories, even if nonsensical in parts. I think it’d be a fun challenge to turn a dream of mine into a coherent story :3c

  I kept one for a while because I had read a book that claimed doing so helped you recognize when you are dreaming. Knowing when you are dreaming lets you have lucid dreams and control the elements of your dream. I succeeded once. For just a very brief time before I lost it and woke up. But yeah, the dreams I thought were interesting were a whole lot less so when I reread them later.

    I remember having a lucid dream like once

    When I realised I was in a dream, I suddenly got very scared about being in a dream (like ???) and forced myself out of it, giving myself sleep paralysis

      It sounds to me like the sleep paralysis episode began, then you realized you weren’t awake.

      Our brains are really good at rationalizing all sorts of experiences. A lot of “editing” goes on in our brains between initially receiving a sensation, and becoming consciously aware of the sensation. Sometimes it can even trick us into believing things happened in a different order than they really did.

      The fact that you felt a sense of panic, which is a typical reaction to sleep paralysis, makes me think some part of your brain became aware of the paralysis by that point. All parts of our brains don’t wake up simultaneously - deeper, older parts usually wake up before the outer, younger neocortex (where rational thoughts and impulse control take place.)

      The awoken amygdala can send out panic alarms due to the body being paralyzed, but the young, rational part of the brain is still mid-waking up. As you begin to gain awareness, you could simultaneously realize you’re in an altered state of consciousness, but also feel terrified for no clear reason.

      So, good news! You probably didn’t do anything to cause the sleep paralysis (except maybe by sleeping on your back?)

        It wasn’t as bad for me as some people say, I had no sleep paralysis monster or anything

        It was more just “wtf I can’t move my body anymore”
