Re: The Dream Analyst

Sounds like a stress/security "overwhelm" dreams.

I get **** like that too.

Guess I watch TV too much.

Randomly dreamt Michael Jordan showed up to Monday Night Raw (which was being held inside a grocery store) and then walked all around the place as he started singing and dancing as he walked. Somehow I was just following behind him watching it all go down.

Have no idea what it means, but it was as weird and entertaining as you can picture that.

Re: The Dream Analyst

Here's another weird one on Christmas morning of all times.

I dreamt Jim Ross was calling WCW Nitro during their peak days in the 90s.

The weird part, I don't know if it was WCW or not, but I also dreamt Owen Hart was there, though possibly reminiscent of the night he died (except I don't think he died in this dream, this time around it was part of the show that he was in the ring).

To make it weirder, as soon as I woke up and opened social media, the first post I saw was one from a few hours earlier of someone posting a picture of the night he died and asking a question about it. The post obviously happened after I went to sleep so not like I was reading that post or anything similar before going to bed and that's what led to this dream.

Re: The Dream Analyst

Really random/vivid dreams continue. 2 parter that continues.

On a plane, but instead of flying the plane was basically just driving on it's own private lane.

The flight attendant was telling people that they have a bunch of people training to be airplane security and they're practicing things like using inflatable life jackets and will be practicing on all the passengers for their class and they need to pass it. They turned around and realized we're already pulling up in the city/final destination and once we stopped everyone was leaving before the trainees could do their class.

But as soon as I got out of the plane I was somehow just on the streets walking somewhere and there were tigers and cheetahs on the sidewalk. They didn't bother with anyone and everyone was walking past them like normal, like you do if you see a bird on a sidewalk, but I was walking the entire time having no idea how people aren't afraid of them and how they're not doing anything. Then randomly I see the streets having a few robotic lawn mowers going from house to house.


This dream means absolutely nothing and is one of the more random ones I've ever had.

Re: The Dream Analyst

That last part reminds me of a dream I had a while back that I was walking around some huge store but there were also dinosaurs in the store walking around then a raptor charged me and I woke up.

I've also had occasional dream about being on a plane and it goes totake off but for some reason never gains any altitude and ends up just driving on the highway or something

Last night I had dream that I was at the CVS by my apartment to get milk but it was out of basically everything and the only milk they had had a sell by date of 4/15. Then I found out it was permanantly closing for some reason and I was wondering where I could go to get milk. At one point I remarked that I guess I could go to the gas station a block away but someone replied with something like "No, no one wants to drink hotdog ..." but I don't know/remember what the last word was.

This is going to be kind of longish but it can't be helped because I'm always curious about the subject of dreams/nightmares and dreaming right after awakening from said dreams/nightmares. What I woke up thinking about this morning is how do nightmares psychologically affect a person. My normal mindset is I like nightmares because I view them as like getting a free movie without the price of a ticket admission. Except this morning I started wondering if nightmares are in actuality bad for you if they interrupt your REM cycle and keep it from naturally finishing. Maybe its bad, maybe its not, I don't know, to interrupt your REM cycle. But I would like to know.

I just had a dream a little while ago early this morning where a nightmare interrupted my REM cycle. It wasn't your typical nightmare but it still had the affect of stopping my REM cycle before completion. The ''nightmare'' was I was at work and I had a task to do, so to stop from having to do it, I simply woke up. In that sense, the ''monster'' I was ''afraid/scared'' of was work.

Now, I wasn't really scared or afraid, I just didn't won't to dream about doing something boring, but it still interrupted my REM. So I get up, go get a drink of water, then back to bed for more sleep.

In my next dream, I was at work again and given a task to do that didn't bore me, so I wanted to do the job. Funny thing is the work was from a job I had more than twenty years ago. But I couldn't complete the job because I couldn't find all the material I needed. And the dream ended naturally with the REM cycle fully complete. The reason I know this is because I usually become aware I'm dreaming if the dream is long enough, i.e. not interrupted and cut short (again, is this bad for you, to have your REM sleep screwed with?). So I know this particular REM cycle completed because I became aware I was dreaming, but didn't wake up, I let it play out.

And after the dream was over, while I was sleeping, I wasn't dreaming anymore but I was self-aware I was asleep, and trying to figure out where the material was I couldn't find during the dream. I used to know where it was every time twenty years ago, in that old building that was torn down about fifteen years ago. And I sort of drifted awake, slowly and slowly coming into full consciousness. One can drift asleep, so I assume you can drift awake too.

Anyway, I guess I'm off to Google down a rabbit hole and sort thru what lies and truth A.I. is going to tell me about nightmares being bad for you by interrupting your REM. Easy dreams, fellow OS'ers.

I don't think there are any deleterious physiological effects from having REM sleep interrupted. In fact, it is probably quite common for it to be interrupted whatever reason. It's said that you only remember your dreams if you wake up immediately after (or during) them so any dream you remember could be an instance of interrupted REM sleep. Also, I'm not sure your 'nightmare' quite meets the definition of such.

Kind of reminds me of work dreams where I'm dreaming on a case (I review diagnostic genetic testing results which is all done on a computer) then I wake up but my brain is still half in the dream and I start thinking 'how am I supposed to finish this case if I'm not on my computer.

I'm not a Dallas Cowboys fan so I don't know why I just dreamed I was hired as their new CFO by their new owner...

...Jerry Jones sells the team to Donald Trump after Trump retires from his day job..
But it quickly becomes apparent my new boss wants me to focus mainly as CFO to personally see to it no stadium light bulbs are stolen and resold on the black market. Every light bulb that burns out and no longer works must be accounted for and turned back over to him for destruction. Its a monumental task because there HAS to be over a million bulbs in that stadium. The problem is someone who doesn't know better starts throwing away a few bad bulbs and suddenly I have to track down those missing bulbs, which is impossible so now I have to manufacture some replacement bad bulbs to account for the original bad bulbs and I'm terrified Trump is going to know those aren't his real bulbs. In the meantime we are going 17-0 four straight years and win four straight Super Bowls but I don't get any credit for any of that because all I have been doing for four years as the Dallas Cowboys CFO is changing light bulbs. And then ants get in the light bulb storage cabinet and for some reason I get the blame and Trump is so furious he sells the team and we immediately stop winning and everyone in Texas is mad at me because they say its my fault for the Cowboys demise because I don't know how to change light bulbs or kill a few ants.
