The second I realise I’m dreaming I wake up.
I think it’s because the second I am some level of conscious the deep rooted anxiety starts again and jolts me up 🙂
Nothing scary than real life.
Try spinning around in place in the dream! Sometimes it can help keep me dreaming cause I focus on my dream body and not my asleep body
You should try flying instead.
At least you don’t go through a series of false awakenings when it happens. Those are generally not the most fun, since at best they ruin lucid dreams (it’s sort of a way for your mind to go back to sleep, and typically resets your awareness of being in a dream), and at worst it fucks with your sense of reality big time.
That’s why I don’t nap anymore… I lucid dream sometimes, but usually not with naps. Those are just hyper realistic emotion bombs with full physical sensation.
So one day I was having one of my awful nap dreams, and it was super negative, so I decided to wake up. So I did. And then I realized I was still sleeping, and tried again… Dozens and dozens of times, every trick I could think of. I could feel my actual body unable to move (thanks sleep paralysis!), and I kept cycling back to dreaming, starting the whole thing over again.
One day, he’s going to try to log out, and the logout button will be missing.
Then the only way he’ll be able to wake up is by beating all 100 floors of his dream. But if he dies in the dream, he dies in real life.
It will definitely happen if someone tells him that :)

I just learned a new way to Vim like I have never before. This is game changing info…
That kind of sounds like a strategy to trigger lucid dreaming. I’ve heard that if you envision a specific thing while falling asleep, like for example the StarCraft menu screen, then it will appear somewhere in your dream. When it does, it’s supposed to sort of jostle you into consciousness but not wake you up.
It seems that what this person’s friend did with his free will in dream land is nope right out of there. He could have turned that nightmare into something awesome though!
My nightmares always turn into semi lucid dreams, it’s like “this is so horrible it must be a nightmare” and then I can choose to just nope out of sleeping.
My old man taught me that telling someone one is having a nightmare stops it from coming back. I’ve found that just saying it out aloud works as well.
I’ve used it quite a few times throughout my life, never fails. It’s supposedly pretty eerie for others though when I just sit up in bed in the middle of the night, proclaim “I’m having a nightmare” and then promptly going back to sleep.
Starcraft 2 is seriously the only game that’s ever given me performance anxiety. There were days when I’d sit down to play and I’d already have nerves and just nope right out and watch GSL VODs of pro players instead. Seeing your rating and all that, Platinum to Diamond, then Diamond to Master, that game was rough and you were always at risk of cheese and basically getting harassed to death playing a traditional build order
That’s hilarious because I’ve done the same exact thing before except it was the watch menu from the Goldeneye Nintendo64 James Bond game. It worked for several years as a young lad.
Title made me lose the game.
Let’s get you back to bed, gramps

Damnit, I lost as well.
My nightmares largely stopped after being awake tired af and terrified of sleeping, when I said “damn you nightmares, you can’t scare me into sleep deprivation! I’m coming in there and I’m gonna fight back”, and then went right back to sleep. I don’t know what nightmare I had that drove me to get angry at my nightmares, I didn’t even have a plan to fight back. But that’s when it stopped, when I stopped being afraid of them.
Shit! I hit Save by accident! shitshitshit
Computer! Arch.
This is my new answer to the “what super power would you like” question.
I mean i just have to kill myself and hope it’s really just a dream. I would like a quit menu
You’ll know you’re in trouble if you’re arguing and he stares blankly and starts jabbing his finger at the air.
Lost and ragequit so many times that he related anguish to quitting out through the menu xD
