OceanDreamer

Last night I watched black mirror, freaked myself out and went to bed at 4am. I felt sick for some reason, you know when sometimes a fever will make you hallucinate, get sleep paralysis etc, and it’ll be really unpleasant. That was happening to me alllll night.

I couldn’t go to sleep in my normal position so I laid on my side with my right leg on top of my left (instead of over it - if that makes sense). I can’t fall asleep like this but I couldn’t get comfortable any other way. This launched me into sleep paralysis and then into a dream where I was given a Black Mirror type device to stick to my forehead and it would apparently make me experience any reality I wanted, but mine was faulty so instead I could only feel and not all my other senses.

Suddenly I found myself on the train in South Korea with the main character from Squid Games. He was in front of me but at the same time I was him. The people on the train were mad I’d won the games twice and suddenly started fighting me. It felt like something out of Cyberpunk - they all had robo arms or legs or robotic enhancements. I became lucid and was thinking damn this is an awful lucid dream to have, everything hurts. I dodged and fought them off.

Then I found a way to escape - by reversing time. A common way for me to escape nightmares is to reverse time or float up and I chose the former. I would reverse it by 10k years and they’d forget they were fighting me but quickly remember. Their appearance also changed every reversal as they were evolving backwards (only way quicker than evolution in the real world).

My goal was the reverse back to 100,000 BC because that’s when dream me thought humans branched off from our predecessors. It worked and they were friendly but looked like… aliens! They were a milky blue colour and started talking to me about the Avatar movie and that signaled to me that they were still aware of the present world and therefore still wanted to fight me.

I ran off the bus and onto the street where I was renting an apartment for the dream (literally rented an apartment for “dream duration”, very meta). I saw one of my ex friends and tried to avoid her. In the mirror I looked like myself but with lighter hair. I was wearing a traditional dress now and didn’t want to go outside bc it felt weird to wear.

And then I was brought back to my sleep paralysis WHILE being in a dream, with the Black Mirror device on my forehead. Like a dream within a dream. I woke up and remembered to do DEILD for the first time. I imagined pinching my nose every few seconds and then did it for real and found out I was dreaming. I tried to rise out of my body and it worked, upon which I tried entering the void but it was a fake void. I woke up again and did the same thing, and then finally woke up.

It felt exhausting and I lowkey wanna go to bed late again so I can experience all this but control it this time and not have a nightmare, but I can’t afford being so tired during the day.

My entire dream was me in my bed (in a completely new room I've never seen or been in), trying to go to sleep so I could lucid dream, with my parents interruping me.

At one point I woke up to go to school (a very common theme in my dreams despite having left school years ago), and had an injury on my leg that was healing rapidly. I decided to stay home because of the injury but then my mum pulled out some sweet treats including cupcakes, and it somehow convinced me to go to school.
