where is everyone this evening?
Do you have recurring dreams? I do, there's a few, but mostly they involve water or a big house I now know well but have never been in.

I often dream that I'm awake and getting ready for work.
This can prove to be a massive pain in the arse when the slow realisation actually dawns.

a endless nested 'waking up' dream is probably one of the levels of hell

I once dreamed I was still asleep
and when I woke up, I was.

I have a recurring one where I dream I've woken up
and I've opened my eyes but I'm unable to move. Very distressing indeed, I feel wrecked afterwards.

That's a real thing
night paralysis. I get that sometimes.

Shit
It's not a dream?
(Zoz prayed for twink on, Mon 30 Apr 2012, 22:39, Reply)

I think, although I'm not sure
that you're awake before your brain realises you've woken up. But the feeling of not being able to move, impending doom, burglars etc, is all entirely consistent of sleep paralysis. It's a shit scary unpleasant experience.

True
I always panic that there's someone in the room just outside my field of vision and I can't turn my head to look at them and I can't make a sound either.

Stupid brain :(

Sleep paralysis. It's scary as holy fuck.
Basically, when you go to sleep, your brain paralyses your body so you don't act out your dreams and hurt yourself.

Sometimes you wake up before you become un-paralysed, and even though you're wide awake, you physically can't move a muscle or utter a sound.

What makes it worse is that it's accompanied by hallucinations where you can hear and see people in the room. Whenever I get it, I've learned not to panic anymore, just try to go back to sleep. After a few minutes I wake up normally anyway.

why is it so important?
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Mon 30 Apr 2012, 21:16, Reply)

BECAUSE IT IS!!!

i feel like a fool for never realising this
isn't there a half time or something?
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Mon 30 Apr 2012, 21:22, Reply)

Because perfection is no more than an abstract concept, an impossibility, a direction on the compass.
In that way it's a lot like infinity.

I used to have a couple of horrific one that I didnt' know if I was awake or not even after I woke up.
One of them I'd be dragged backwards off the bed and down the room, and when I'd wake up from it, I actually had to look around to see if I wasn't moving 'cus it would still feel like I was being dragged.

Another one, I'd be in a weird state where I can tell exactly whats going on in the telly, but I couldn't move very well, like I was pissed almost to the point of unconciousness. And then I'd roll out of bed or off the couch and suddenly I'd be on the couch again where I was sleeping, knowing that before was a dream, but I wouldn't be able to move well, so I'd fall off the couch again and kaplowie, I 'wake up'.... repeat over and over for hours,
only thing is, when I finally woke up for real, I'd know exactly what had gone on the telly or radio excactly as if I had been watching it awake.... even visuals.

ME MEMEMEEMEMME
Oh my days, absolutly mental day, I've been from home (enfield), to cockfosters to T'ham Court Road to Notting Hill to Hammersmith to T'ham Court Road to Finsbury Park and then back home. 5 appointments in total.
Two recruitment agents seemed to really like me and wants to put me through to their clients.
One company I *think* will want me but I'm not 100% sure about if I want their role.
One company I seriously fucking wow'd, he loved me seriously big time, and it felt more like I was interviewing him for most of it.... trouble is, it would reform a massive brand that everyone here has heard of, but there is no dedicated team, it'll eventually be just me, when really I like being in a team of people.
And the other two were doctors and seeing some legal people unrelated ot all this.

sleep paralysis sucks
uh, sounds like work things are starting to happen
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Mon 30 Apr 2012, 21:47, Reply)

Yeah', pretty much.
Proper kicking off, I've done too much today and now I'm all shakey with blisters and over tired and over stressed and over worked and over over I ended up buying £30 of sushi and a new hard drive on my travels.

Did the football team you like score more goals than the one you dislike?
( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Mon 30 Apr 2012, 22:07, Reply)

Not my team but the league is wide open with two games to go. Exciting.

Anyway, shouldn't you be revising not watching football matches?

( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Mon 30 Apr 2012, 22:14, Reply)

Well I got a load done today and wanted to watch the footy. I did the online mock exam and nailed that, learnt my Welsh transcript, finished an assignment and revised one of three exam topics.

My dreams are so tedious and boring it's unreal.
The last one I can remember I was in Westfields and walked the wrong way up the escalators and a security guard gave me a £100 fine. Then I woke up.

It's because your waking life is so exciting.
Your brain needs some mundanity to balance things out when you're asleep.

yes, where i'm climbing stairs and i have to cross over an open gap from my staircase that ends
To get to another staircase or to another level of whatever house or building I'm in and I'm always terrified
( Lisette von Falcon, Mon 30 Apr 2012, 22:27, Reply)

As kids we used to play in a ruined monastery with a tower which was fun to climb
about halfway up the stairs there was a room with a concrete floor which was only supported on two sides. So stepping off the stairs you had a clear view down a foot sized gap between the floor and the wall to the ground about 40 feet below. Always put the shits up me.
