What a depressing thread Op. No, I don't get sad. I pat my dog and tell him he's a good dog, then I go to sleep.

In my dream, it is my old house in South Africa, but everything is oppressively dry, my kitchen is vast and significantly more open than I remember.
I see my brother sitting on the floor of the kitchen crying, I look at his foot and there is a puncture wound, a hole on both sides of his foot. He looks at me, eyes full of tears and says "He bit me."
I look to my left and see my first dog on the ground, but he is split. He is whining in constant pain and I can see his one eye looking at me, and his pulsating organs exposed to the air.

I'm sure if you have enough. One time I only had a little alcohol but really wanted sleep and a quick Google search led me to believe that since Diphen and alcohol affect the same spot of the brain or something, you should be fine, so I took my normal dose of Diphen and was fine. I don't want look it up again and find that I really should have died.

OP, I do believe I have sleep anxiety. I don't sleep well. I wake up multiple times, it takes me forever to fall asleep, and I am always tired in the morning. The thought of going to sleep makes me sad because I anticipate all of these bad things happening. And they do.

I too sometimes dream of seeing twisted hunks of human flesh that bleat like animals as they are pulled and separated by indescribable monsters.

Nah I get super depressed when my work week starts because I can no longer distract myself from how disappointing my life is. Sleep and the weekends are great for distracting yourself from all that.

Just think, if you were alive and working a little less than 100 years ago chances are you wouldn't even have a weekend.

I was being pushed through a dark sewer tunnel of some sort, maybe drainage. Eventually get flushed out into a stream with the bright, starry night sky overhead. I look down and see my entire body is nothing but bones, and the water I was drifting through was blood.

Yet I remember it being a very relaxing and chill dream :shrug:

I came across mention of a Gnostic codex called The Unreal God and the Aspects of His Nonexistent Universe, an idea which reduced me to helpless laughter. What kind of person would write about something that he knows doesn't exist, and how can something that doesn't exist have aspects?

I'm reposting this from a post I put up in the old dream thread, this one was trippy as gently caress and it still freaks me out if I think about it for too long.

I was a spider on my wall. Eight eyes, but only four images- my eyes functioned as independent sets, they could scan nearly everything in the room at varied angles. Vision wasn't cohesive, images flickered about rapidly, disorienting at first but then I acclimated to their steady rate. Focused on the environment as a whole rather than specific objects. No feeling of legs or body in general, their actions were reflexive, automatic. Moving felt more like teleporting, wall to wall. Experience was vague, spent most of my time pausing and reassessing the environment. Then I jumped, rapid images, tumbling about, I saw myself and I was falling for my head.

Simulating the tumbling in my head made me dizzy, I awoke to a small house spider climbing on my nose. I was calm and prepared, at least unconsciously, cupped him gently between my hands and blew slightly to detach him with my breath, it only hurt his tiny ego. Took him outside then spent an irritable hour pacing in anxiety, reassuring myself it was just a dream.

If you have trouble falling asleep, try thinking about all the embarrassing and stupid things you've done in the past that nobody probably remembers but bother you anyway. That's what I always do and it works like a charm!

When I was a kid any time I slept over at a friends house, or even if a friend came to my place, right as the conversation would end and my friend would fall asleep, I would get super depressed and want to cry. I never had a problem sleeping alone.

i found myself helping my parents repair their house. apparently they lived in a decrepit concrete bunker underground. water kept pouring in and i had to shore it up using old insulation and garbage. when the water continued to pour in my parents got in their cars and drove off in disappointment and disgust. i resolved to stay behind and drown

also my parents kept calling me 'the dude' as if it was my name
