DELETE CASCADE posted:the universality of this experience makes me wonder what other deep psychological damage is being done by schooling. you know, the sort of thing we'll look back on 100 years later like "wait, they used to do WHAT to those poor kids?" i think it's more that school is an important part of american adolescence and so it's a common setting for insecurities that arise from that. if, like, you grew up in a culture where instead of a diploma you had to do a solo hunt and bring down a moose, your dreams would be about not really killing the moose and now the village will find out and everyone will know that you're not a Real Adult. same anxiety, same fear of failure, same coming-of-age milestone like, there's a lot wrong with american education, but you're overthinking the importance of the dreams imo. unless the dreams are about a school shooter coming in, that is a uniquely american and tremendously hosed up thing

echinopsis posted:i hope you're all gonna get and take some magnesium and come back with some trip reports melatonin does the weird dream thing for me and those are some of the most exciting dreams ive had in years. the plots are strange but very coherent feeling, and the settings are very thorough and cohesive i was taking 10mg regularly for a while and those were like small novels. 1.5 still had the effect but made waking less groggy. after the high dosage I've been able to ease down to none and now get regular sleep with a routine established during use, as well as dreaming consistently. for about 6 years i remembered no dreams and sleep felt hollow as for diploma dreams i actually was almost a credit short on graduating in four years and had to run around cross-checking requirements since i dropped an elective once. those dreams are very real to me and i too wake up unsure despite also having a masters

there’s probably huge volumes of research around dreams and sleep and i’d be surprised if vivid dreams weren’t correlated with better sleep. i imagine they’re a emergent phenomenon of good sleep melatonin yeah does seem to be good for this. i don’t know much about supplementing melatonin as far as it reducing your endogenous supply or whatever but it’s over the counter in america and it’s by far the best “sleeping pill”. it’s prescription only in new zealand 😓 should take it with magnesium of course

see, my dreams are really vivid but I’d say I don’t sleep well. might be because of meds tho, so there’s a factor right there.

i had a super weird dream last night that i think had a lot of symbolism, but i won't describe it too much cause dreams are boring to read about. it was me at my parents' house with the people i work with, my boss gave me some broken eggs that each contained two yolks, i planted a very small cherry tree, and there was a large open field

that’s cool as dreams raise some interesting things about consciousness, about how consciousness is utterly empty except for what’s put into it, and one of those things is critical thinking or analysis, and during dreaming that kind of stuff is turned off. consciousness itself doesn’t have a problem with disjointed experience at all i don’t lucid dream much but i’ve done it enough that it’s not novel, but it is interesting because you basically do engage that thinking part of your brain. just a shame memories of dreams fade so quickly.

I IRL totally forgot about a final exam for one of my classes until after finals period was half over. I think I had assumed it didn't have one, only to remember that it actually did? but luckily it was scheduled late in the period, after I had remembered its existence, so I didn't end up missing it I had dreams about that incident for like a decade

I wake up with the sun most days and it feels really good. Nice and toasty under the sheets & a wool blanket in a cold house, dog laying by my feet keeping them warm too. Last night’s dream has faded but it involved something about being in the drug business and earning the respect of Avon Barksdale, or maybe the actor Wood Harris? I get maybe one nightmare a year or so and they always involve me committing acts of extreme violence against vague personifications of things I hate and I wake up feeling awful and angry. My back aches a bit at the end of active days but that’s because I’m fat with a big ol’ gut to carry around. I rejoined my favorite gym... right in march lol
