Weird Dreams: A Revolutionary Discovery (Patreon)
Content
This week, I don't have a dream to share (not for lack of weird dreams), but I wanted to instead share something I recently figured out.
The other night, while I was lucid dreaming but starting to wake up, I wanted to stay in the dream and see where it went. This is something I do a lot because, honestly, my dreams are wild and I am fascinated. So I've pretty much always know that I could continue my dream if I decided I wanted to, even if I've actually woken up, as long as I can get back to sleep. I've actually shown friends some of my Fitbit sleep tracker readings where you can see me literally go directly from REM sleep > awake for a few minutes > REM sleep immediately.
But this time was different. I didn't just want to stay in the dream, I wanted to remember what happened and how I got to where I was in the dream. SO MY DREAM GAVE ME A RERUN OF THE DREAM SO FAR? I basically re-dreamt the dream leading up to where I was when I started waking up. And I remembered having dreamt it already. It was wild. Will I remember to do this more whilst actually sleeping? Was it even actually a rerun? Who knows 🤷♀️ But still...it was cool to me 🙈
Do you have any weird sleep/dream habits or tricks?
