Anon forgot they were watching cable TV not streaming. Reruns at 2 am? They just slept through a long commercial break. You may have had a nightmare but you avoided Yahel with the sad old jews, Sarah McLoughlan with the abused animals, 16 pharmaceuticals, 5 kind of insurance, and a financial advisor.
Anon had a nightmare

Anon knows their job’s a joke, they’re broke, their love life’s DOA.

Sleep paralysis

Once you’ve experienced sleep paralysis, nightmares are comforting.

It’s the “time has no meaning” aspect of it that’s terrifying.

I would have said sleep apnea, but similar I guess?
Manalith@midwest.social 3 weeks ago
For me, sleep apnea’s can’t breathe usually immediately jolts me awake, brought on by something in the dreamstate, the first time it was driving into a lake and drowning, then sitting up hyperventilating. Sleep paralysis is a lot scarier, I tend to be, or at least perceive to be, awake and in my bed, but there’s something else there, and for one reason or another, that thing keeps me from breathing, maybe it’s to not make a sound, maybe it’s stealing my breath, I dunno, but it keeps me from hitting that jolt awake moment with the hyperventilating. The post felt more like the second one.

I once got locked in a state of sleep paralysis and managed to call out for help. I said “please wake me up I’m having a nightmarrrre” but in a really scared voice and no air in my lungs, just forcing the sounds out with my diaphragm. It freaked my roommate THE FUCK out. Honestly it was a little embarrassing but they just think it’s a cool story now. It’s kinda funny how our emotional states flipped because they went from “hehe is he sleep talking?” to “WHAT THE FUCK HE NEEDS MY HELP!” and I went from “I’m trapped in an inescapable torment of my own unconscious mind!” to “ok I’m awake now. That’s better.” My eyes were already open but I couldn’t wake up. The instant I saw them open the door I was immediately awake and calm. Meanwhile they were dealing with a major adrenaline surge and took a long time to calm back down.

Mine was an abandoned mall with half the lights dead and people shambling around aimlessly. There was a guy sitting by a door with a curtain on it and he asked if I would go in and help him with some math problems. Seemed sus as hell but I was kinda curious so I peeked behind the curtain and it was just a black void no floor or anything. Wished him luck and went back towards the lobby. There was a giant upside down cross on the wall and I was like oh hey it’s the cross of St Peter and everybody turned to me suddenly looking really pissed off and then I woke up.

Dreams are fun eh? Also your concept of time gets wonky when you’re dreaming.
