I once dreamt someone told me that the dreams we forget are the ones that come true, so when we have a deja vu, it's our brain actually recalling that forgotten dream.

I had 6 false awakenings back to back. Absolutely terrifying. There’s a point where you can’t tell what’s reality it was crazy.

Sleep Paralysis is terrifying. It's happened to me a couple of times and it is one of the worst experiences I've ever had

One of the most painful "lucid" dreams I ever had was a few weeks after my fiancé passed away last year. We were together and I realized I was dreaming when I sensed myself starting to wake up. I looked at him and said "I don't want to go yet. I want to stay here with you a little longer..."

Of course, I woke up and just had the saddest day ever. Dreams might be all in our heads, but the emotions they generate are very real!!! 🥺🥺🥺

If you see a toilet in a dream-don’t use it

I've always wished I could invent a dream recorder. To literally record what you are seeing through your minds eye within the dream. How amazing would that be? Not just writing it down or attempting to explain the next day. I have so many horrible nightmares and bizarre dreams that I wish I could share with people but can't find the words. And I'm a writer.

I've experienced the dreams where you "wake up" in to another dream. I've had ones where it kept happening. Again and again. At least five or six times in a row. Constantly waking in to another dream. It gets scary and feels like you are trapped and can never wake up for real again.

I like to think that when I dream about a loved one that has passed on, it means they are letting me know they are ok. 🥰

[Enjoymentboy]

I've come to believe that dreams are really two things: 1. A means for the brain to process and compartmentalize everything it has learned or experienced during the day and 2. A way for the brain to practice various scenarios so as to be prepared just in case something happens. A part of the fight/flight response. I've never actually been attacked by a pack of wolves in real life but I have multiple times in my dreams. I suspect that whatever I may have done in those dreams would be recalled and brought into play if I was ever actually confronted with a similar danger.

I have literally been plagued by precognitive dreams my whole life. So yes— you most certainly can dream something exactly before it happens.

Thank god it’s not a Ukraine/Russia video

Sometimes I dream of being in love with a stranger, I wake up feeling in love with that person, but I can't see the guy's face but I know it was a stranger. It makes me sad that I don't have that love, not even when I'm in a relationship.

[hypercynic]

As someone who has nightmares and night terrors almost every single night, I try just about anything to FORGET my dreams, but I can't. They feel as real as everyday life and I remember every single one I have, as well as being able to remember them in horrifyingly accurate detail, from the colours, smells, sights and sounds. I've died in just about every way you can imagine and have felt every bit of it. I've experienced some of the most terrifying things people can experience in reality and the most morbid fiction one can imagine.

People ask why I don't sleep much... This is why.

And yes, I have PTSD and that is one reason I struggle. I've had sleep issues since I was born though.

At @ 8:50, the narrator says "Number 39.." but the screen shows 27. LOL

[reyxxisa]

I’ve always have crazy dreams. I check all of the above boxes. I can lucid dream and control my dreams sometimes. I have had sleep paralysis. I remember most of the dreams & I’ve definitely had dreams with false awakenings, the worst one I woke up 3 times. When I finally really woke up I just laid in my bed looking at everything around in my room, too freaked out to move. I’ve also had dreams that pick up again but sometimes years later. I really want to be able to record my dreams.

For years, Ive had a dream about an old house with a secret stairwell that leads to a room full of my antiques. Recently, I went to the house in a dream, and was told I couldnt go up to my secret room anymore. When I ask why, I was told it was because I sold the house! The irony of it ? I buy and sell houses for a living. I loved my dream house dreams, and I dream of the day the new owners put it back on the market 😂 ❤

Sleep paralysis is the worst, even worse when there’s false awakenings before. I’ve definitely found sleeping on my back makes it so much worse.

[brianwalley]

when I was a teenager I dreamed that an enormous monster was outside my house and shaking it roughly. Then I woke up and to my horror found that the entire house really was shaking. Apparently we were having a mild earth tremor, and my mind incorporated that into my dream

[rebeccasmith]

Most of my dreams are in color, and very detailed, especially in the layout of a house. I had a dream once where there were some older people sunbathing next to a green field. The sky above had puffy white clouds, and it was the most beautiful shade of deep turquois blue that cannot be described in words. It was awesome!
