Not from the US, which is who the “yanks” are.

Yeah but honestly in my opinion most of the people in this country can give the Yanks a run for their money in the smarts department.

But I bet they don’t hold a candle to us in the arrogance department. Even uber-nazi Res Skull knew that one.
i was referring to their ‘eurovision being trash because it’s european’ jibe.

The popular notion that you die in real life if you die in your dreams is pretty ludicrous when you shine a light on it. Take for example, the most well-known scenario: you’re falling in your dream, and if you hit the ground, your body dies in its sleep.
Alright, then.
Inquiry: if these people are dying in their sleep, how the fuck would anyone know what they were dreaming about?
I flatly reject any symbolism or meaning in dreams. Dreaming of something green doesn’t mean you’ll be rich soon (or anything else). The only thing that a dream means is that I’ll probably be tired in the morning.

It is possible for there to be some symbolism in dreams. Not necessarily of things to come, but things that are weighing heavily on you, or things that are happening to or around your body that your brain still senses and incorporates into your dream. A dog licking your face while you sleep, for example; your brain detects the wetness from the lick and that translates to your unconscious mind as your dream changing into a voyage on the ocean, or something similar. I believe things like that can happen. I do not believe in prophetic dreams; I believe such things are just people dreaming of what could happen, and then they just get lucky that it turns out to be the way things actually unfolded. The fact that they dreamed about it is irrelevant; it would have happened even if they hadn’t dreamed about it.

There is the practice of taking events, objects, or characters in a dream and analyzing them. One anecdotal example I can give is a dream where I became Lucid, but took a heavy toolbox and proceeded to attack some people I was angry at.
After waking up and writing down (or at least recalling) the dream’s events, I analyzed it. I focused on the toolbox. A toolbox usually holds tools. You FIX things with tools. So that led me to conclude that I was not using what I needed to fix things (or resolve conflicts).
I’m not sure how anyone will take what I’ve posted here, but it felt like an epiphany!
Nowadays, I hardly ever remember my dreams. But doing so does take practice, and even more discipline to write them down after waking up… Assuming one can get on track to a steady and consistent sleep schedule (which I can not).

Well, as Sigmund Freud said, sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. And as George Carlin said, sometimes a cigar is a big brown dick.
Interesting topic as today I had my first nightmare since… well maybe 20ish years. I departed a train an found myself at a very confusing train station where a killing spree was going on from half a dozen dudes running around topless with tattoos. I was in constant panic running around
Interestingly my phone was empty in the dream and I could not call for help. The thing is, I knowingly went to bed with an empty phone I forgot to charge and I currently have no way to charge it at my bed. So I basically hoped that I will wake up not too late for home office.
Thanks brain, interesting way to wake me up 30mins before I wanted to sit at my desk.

Listen I know we expect more out of HITMAN III’s finale but Untouchable a nightmare is a little harsh isn’t it?
But seriously, I think I had my first nightmare a few years ago if that. Like I have had dreams, I have had weird shit happen to me in dreams but I have only ever had one instance where I have had a dream and had a palpable sense of fear when I woke up.
I don’t even remember what it was about either, I just recall this instance where I had a profound reaction to a dream.
What is it with everyone having such long periods without nightmares? From the ages 6-16, I was constantly terrorized in my nightmares by the movie Tremors, finding myself stuck on top of my house, my school, the playground slide, etc., with a giant worm lurking under the ground around each of them, trapping me. Nowadays I have at least one nightmare every few months where I’m close to dying in a flood or a collapsing parking garage or some shit. Lucky bastards.

I almost never remember my dreams. I could have nightmares every night and I could not tell you.

I have night terrors, apparently. I have been told that I’ve woken people up screaming in the middle of the night.
maybe because bills aren’t always green outside of the US

I often have nightmares. Playing horror games in my dreams lol. Wish I didn’t though, it’s kind of annoying.
What’s it called that thing, sleep paralysis? Worst shit.

I use have nightmares a lot as a child and in my early 20’s I suffered from night terrors mixed with sleep paralysis. That wasn’t fun times. Once I “woke” up to a python/Anaconda dropping from the selling and down onto my chest. It felt real, I can still remember the “weight” on my chest. Another “night terror”/sleep paralysis I had was once when I lived with 4 friends in a house. One night I “woke” up to a friend standing at the end of my bed. I remember just laughing and saying, you are so dumb Peter. This friend didn’t live in the house, I didn’t find it scary, but rather funny.
I talk in my sleep and somewhat began to semi sleep walk. Like pulling my girlfriend’s duvet off in the middle of the night to throw it into the shower. Due it being infested with piranha fish, I tried the same stunt another time, but this time her pillow was poisoned and she didn’t allow me to take it. It angered me.
My brother used to have bouts of somnambulism when he was little. I remember staying at a cousins place and he hit my cousin with a pillow.
My OCD makes getting sleep a nightmare. I sometimes have anxiety attacks at the tough of not getting sometimes, I often feel like I take longer to go to sleep than I feel should, I often gets tense or nervous before going to bed and some nights my mind races so much it takes forever to wind down even if I spend two hours winding down before bed.
