These are rare, but they evoke a "What The Fuck Is My Brain Up To?" When I get them.

Now, normally...I have hard core nightmares. Sharks, death, dismemberment, full color and my brain has told me in detail what it would be like to be eaten by bugs.

Okay. So last night I'm taking a walk and it seems really nice. It's a lovely walk. I'm happy. I get home and...oh no. My computer is on. I apparently walked out of my work shift. I left the instant messengers up! I can see them! They're tiling! What's the workload? Was it light? Heavy? My boss is on the phone, I say hello and then panic and hang up.

Nerd anxiety. I would like to believe I'm cooler than that, but once again my brain says. No. Sorry. You are exactly that easily freakable outable.

My brain is no longer trying to freak me out just by making me experience pain, it's gone all sideways and just wants to make me terrified of the petty and banal.

Not cool, brain.
 
Yes, dreaming about work is never cool.

Dreaming while AT work, however...

I've done that too. I work at home so I actually manage a quick nap as long as I set an alarm.

Though my brain has gotten me for that too. Time to wake up. *snooze* Start to dream about waking up and getting ready for work.

Heeeey.

I sometimes dream that I'm running late for school and I beg my mom to call in.

But I always still get up and drive to work. :mad:
 
I have a dream monitor who lets me know whazzup, its kinda like the old tv show with the 3 things watching monster movies and making comments from the front row.

I'm always bummed when I fall for it in a dream.

C'mon, don't be that dumb...awwww...you were that dumb.
 
Dream monitor? What does that entail?

My monitor lets me know whats to get excited about...some of my dreams are realistic...the monitor is the rational me, I suppose. A recurring dream I have involves losing a research project the day its due. I wanna run around with my hair on fire but my monitor reminds me I graduated long ago.

So it's not an actual box at the side of your bed or something?

I remember I handled it well when Ulaven introduced me to his mistress in a dream. I checked out, walked to another room, started to meditate and then I woke up.

So I just wish I'd do that more often.

My monitor is untrustworthy.
 
All day long you force your brain to do this and do that. Sleep is the only chance the brain gets to go on vacation.

Why would I want to monitor that?

Fly brain, fly!

Most of my dreams are spent just moving from place to place wondering why I'm there. I'll usually light on the usual suspects. Trying to find my husband, trying to find my purse, trying to find my infant son who is no longer infant.

Fly over better themes!
 
I don't have pleasant dreams, never have.

I had insomnia for years because I really dislike the nighmares my brain throws at me. She's a bitch.

I find that the more sleep I get, the more bizarre and disturbing my dreams become.

Opposite for me. I am a ridiculously light sleeper naturally, but if I get some medication I can have a normal night's sleep and I forget most of the nightmares instead of having them wake me up.

Sorry, nightmares happened way before Splenda existed.

And I've tried vegan, fruitarian, Atkins, low fat, low carb, eat everything and eat just about nothing.

My grandmother would talk in her sleep if she ate cheese, but that's not the same.

They say, sex before going to bed reduces dreams/nightmares, the use of photographs helps, just saying.
