had a couple wild nightmares, luckily i’m pretty good at recognizing i’m in one and getting out of it. doesn’t always happen, it’s pretty difficult for your mind to acknowledge your dreaming, but once you do you gain control over what you’re doing and can end the nightmare 1/7
one dream was me waking up in my apt, i realized i was dreaming when i got up and all the lights were on. i knew there was something scary in my house so i got up, and yep shadow people in the stairs. so naturally i dove down the stairs into them while yelling, dream ended 2/7
didn’t wake up tho i went into another dream where i was in a huge compound basically i was trying to find my way out. monster was outside, couldn’t get outside tho had to go further down. i got lost, and was unable to confront the monster to end the dream. couldn’t wake up 3/7
i realized the “monster” was the fact that i was lucid and unable to wake up and my usual tricks were accounted for. i kept looking for an exit, the monster, something. couldn’t find my way out. i was freaking out, this happens sometimes and i hate it. started panicking 4/7
as i started panicking i closed my eyes and tried to will myself awake, wouldn’t work, usually doesn’t. instead i willed the place i was into collapsing. still nothing. i was fully flipping out. but then i actually felt something. like sandpapery on my face i was like ?? 5/7
the feeling got stronger and the dream started to fade away and i started pushing myself to wake up and finally i did. i woke up to my cat licking my face, i must’ve been restless/making noises and she got concerned and woke me up. now i’m petting her to calm down
good kitty 6/7
good kitty 6/7
anyway yea so i deal with lucid, multilayered dreams a lot that i can’t escape. it’s hard to talk about cause it’s weird but it’s real and it’s one reason i’m often afraid to go asleep, feels like i won’t be able to wake up. just wanted to share, might right more about this 7/7
