As far as i know everyone experiences REM when we sleep, we just don't remember. So you can tell her "well, if i'm a weirdo then so are you" and then do the evil laughNickisimo said:She says she doesn't dream at all and that I'm a weirdo.That much is obvious.
I hate when you wake up after that. One thing that I notice is when I start to realize that it is a dream, I tend to wake up pretty soon after that. Don't know if its just the "Oh fuck, this IS a dream!" that startles me out of the dream or what, but it seems like they only last 5 minutes at most after that.Icy Lemon said:Nickisimo said:OK, that's coming close to blowing my mind. I think if I become cognizant of the weird shit I've been dreaming about mid-dream...the universe would break or something. Probably not.Icy Lemon said:Normally I might only remember my dreams once every few months, but the past week I've been remembering at least one every night, very vividly too.
I came so close to becoming lucid last night too! I was just standing there (in my dream) when I suddenly thought to myself "Hold on a minute, I'm dreaming here!". So I started pinching and slapping myself, but I guess my brain tricked me or something because I thought I felt pain...
... And then I woke up. I was dreaming! Damn, I was annoyed by that.
No no no, being aware that you're dreaming is a wonderful thing, because then you can learn to control your dreams!
It's called Lucid Dreaming [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucid_dream]. Imagine being able to do whatever you want, and with no consequences! Awesome stuff.
That's why I was annoyed when I woke up.![]()
ya i'm in the same boat as your girlfriend i don't dream and if i do it almost always immediately forgotten i can remember parts of only 3 dreams everNickisimo said:Well, she says that sometimes she dreams but it's rare. It's all good. I call her out on her tendency to sleep in a fetal position and steal the covers. That and her cooking is horrib....I mean, umm...TheNamlessGuy said:No offense, but your girlfriend is dumb.
