Your dream/sleep related confessions and dark secrets here

[figurefly]

I lock the windows and put things in front of them before going to bed incase I sleepwalk or falsely think I'm having a false awakening. I think, having to open the window and to put things away will make me think about it again. I jump off my bedroom window and fly only if I'm sure I feel my body on my bed.

I sleep with a stuffed dolphin.

figurefly, that reminds me of a lucid dream I once had. I was in a classroom and suddenly I had a hunch that I was probably dreaming. One moment I was just caught up in the lesson chatting with friends, and half a second later I was like "screw the dream characters, I'm dreaming!". I ran out of the classroom, ran through the hallway and jumped through the window, which was like the 3rd or 4th floor, and while crashing down toward the ground I thought to myself "Uhh... What if I'm not actually dreaming? ..... I probably am", right before hitting the ground I started going up again When I woke up I was shocked by how much I trusted that little hunch xD

[Zhaylin]

heh, good one, Ginsan. I rarely ever trust those hunches lol I sleep on a desk. My bedroom has to be 64 degrees f. for me to sleep but when I wake up it goes up to about 74.

Dream orgasms can be pretty awesome right?

Does anyone dream in color? I've heard a few people say they don't dream in color and i was quite surprised. As for sleeping habits, I can't sleep with clothes on. Even when its cold i have to be natural.

[splodeymissile]

My dreams all have colour. Anyways, I often have to put on soft instrumental music before I go down. Helps quiet an active mind. I also can't wear a top whilst in bed.

[figurefly]

One more confession from me, the only reason I sleep my door closed is to lower my chances of being heard by my parents if I talk mid sleep. (Happened before, it was the most embarrassing thing. I kept shouting at my parents to bring me lipstick...)

[Ginsan]

figurefly that reminds me Once I (allegedly) went downstairs, very slowly, into the toilet room, I don't remember whether (they said that) I flushed or not, and I don't think I "used" it, but I stayed for some time and went back up again. Once when sleeping in my brothers' room, I grabbed his playing card deck and threw the cards into the waste bin one by one Once I just got up out of my bed, stared at my brother (apparently it scared him ), talked gibberish and went back to bed again. I don't know for how long I stood there but my brother tells me these sleepwalking/talking/glaring/acting episodes of mine always scared him. He's 17 now but these happened between 1-5 years ago I think. I don't know if I still do this I felt slightly cheap for telling these stories for amusement's sake, because they are not really confessions/dark secrets, but then I thought "does anybody really care about the direction of the original post?" Zhaylin, you sleep on a desk?

I felt slightly cheap for telling these stories for amusement's sake, because they are not really confessions/dark secrets, but then I thought "does anybody really care about the direction of the original post?" Nobody should. Because it is only a dramatic title to grab more attention. I love stories like yours.

Dream orgasms can be pretty awesome right? ...only if you don't have to clean up afterward!

[Zhaylin]

Ginsan, yikes! I used to get out of bed and go to my closet and fall asleep. That's the only adventurous sleepwalking I've ever done as far as I know. But I do talk in my sleep. I'd tell my kids the weirdest things when they were being noisy around me when napping. I can also "write" in my sleep and give massages (2 things I would force myself to do even though thoroughly exhausted. I'd go into auto-pilot... and yeah... driving too ) Heh, I never really made that connection before. I still prefer to "sleep" in a closet The room I adopted as my own is actually a nursery or office room off of the master bedroom. It's about 10 feet by 8 feet. There's no room for a bed because of how the room is set up: 2 doors- one to the master bedroom, one to the master bathroom; a built in vanity desk (my computer desk); a built-in clothing rack and a window with an AC smack at the center back wall. I used to sleep on an air mattress under the AC but the fleas got too bad. I moved another desk in here, put some afghans on it then a fitted sheet and vwalla- my perfect bed. The desk is a little too short. My feet dangle off the end unless I sleep at an angle. I've been using it for 2-4 years now and love it.

[Ginsan]

I often imagine that I'm touching or cuddling with a nice girl, sometimes it's a girl I know (depending on which nice girl happens to be on my mind) and sometimes I just imagine a female without any specific features. I stroke my own face imagining it's her hand doing it, I stroke her imaginary face and hair, I hold her hand. I tell her how I feel about love and our relationship. A result of this is that in my dreams my wishes are occasionally granted =)

[FryingMan]

I wake up with my tongue caressing the blanket sometimes, sometimes kissing the pillow...

[Ginsan]

Additional confessions. I also hug my pillow and I used to cuddle with my stuffed animals. But I don't remember using my imagination on them, I think the stuffed animals were good enough : ) *except for the couple of days that I was in love as a kid* HornyMan, I don't think I ever did that I tried "stimulating" myself with my stuffed animals though.. EWWWWW!!! Hey, screw you! Whoever is thinking that, it's a dark secrets/confessions thread, even though that was supposed to be just a catchy title.. Zhaylin, errrmmm.... If you have a master bedroom, why not sleep there? I'm surprised that you don't build up any back problems. Even though I know very little about proper beds and spines, except that spine xrays arouse profound curiosity and even excitement in certain people. But if you've been sleeping there for 2-4 years (funny estimation, is your memory as bad as mine? xD), I'm glad that you are loving it. Spoiler for No confessions, but stuffed-animal talk.: My mom gave them away and I kept 1 of them a few years longer than the others, a big monkey that I won at another school's festival by cheating at a game where you had to throw a coin into a glass that was in an aquarium. You had to stand behind a line and throw the coin but I put my feet behind the line and extended my body and arms beyond it and I think she gave me another stuffed animal, but I played for the monkey So I asked if I could have the monkey instead and she gave it. I think I was like 10-12 years old xD It was white and had long legs and arms and the first or one of the first I did when I got it was to put its legs on my shoulders, head on my head and hold its arms to let it piggyback me xD It got dirtier and dirtier and my mom kept nagging me for years that it was dirty and unwashable and eventually I was like "fuck it, I'll throw it away" and I threw it away anything from 3-6 years ago. I watched an interview with John Cleese a few days ago and he said that he and his wife had about 80 stuffed animals in their house and they put them everywhere, on the tables, the lamps, chairs, and he said that every time he saw one of them it just made him smile While I'm on it.. I had 1 and maybe 2 really big stuffed animals that were at least half my size (when I was a kid) and I used to wrestle with it. Just do wild attacks, slam it into the ground and stuff ( <-- me as a kid and still me sometimes). I also used to let my stuffed animals fight each other, it was so much fun!! I gave them the ultimate attacks I got from Power Rangers xD I really feel like buying some stuffed animals now... Yep. You really need to read what's in that spoiler.

[figurefly]

Ginsan, I know where you're coming from. As a child, I used to be the biggest stuffed animal lover. Stuffed animals must be for hugging and such right? I didn't even touch them. I collected them, begged people to get me a specific animal and I just watched my stuffed animals sit. I also remember trying to make them look right into my eyes. I used to try to find the perfect angle for this to happen...until I realized it just wouldn't, they were soulless. EDIT: Back to the topic guys, don't you ever think you can escape from this evil thread. Waiting for darker secrets.

[Ginsan]

You never hugged stuffed animals? Just how dark a soul do you have? o.0 Girls, I don't think we can top this..

[figurefly]

You never hugged stuffed animals? Just how dark a soul do you have? o.0 Girls, I don't think we can top this.. I'm really not the touchy-feely kind eww.

[Ginsan]

Well, how cool of you! You cold, dark person. Is there any distant cave or island in your soul where a warm, fuzzy, touchy-feely candle burns? I mean, there's got to be something like that.. Or not? :shocked:

[figurefly]

I don't know, I don't know and I'm too cool to care about these stuff.

[Ginsan]

I hope that when I grow up I can be as cool as you. Just kidding! No actually I meant it Also, it is "this stuff" or "these things"

[figurefly]

Also, it is "this stuff" or "these things" Good night. My cold devil non-native vibes be on you Ginsan. And again, I don't care about these stuff.

[Ginsan]

Well, I'd want the vibes I think you have and not the vibes you describe. I may have miscalculated though. Let me try again. "Hrmm ........ yes... .. 3+ ....... square root of that.... ... or... maybe not? ahh yes I see! ........ so if that's that, then this must be..... ahh I don't get this! .... ..... .... how about... ? what if you plot the amount of stuff in the animal with the mass of the proton in uhmmm .... ...... 6 spacial .... and uhhmmmm 4? 2? no! 3 time-dimensional place but slightly alter the value of HheG35Rs%$@%-version 1.36? ..... maybe? ....... damn it, I knew that wasn't it!! ...... pupil to eye socket ratio is peculiar............. ..... Is this the answer?! ... .... nope ... this? ... .... don't think so..... how abo- ..... " This will be a while, as you can tell. good night to you too. I'll be boggling until I die.

I used to love stuffed animals too. In fact, I still have the very first stuffed animal I was ever given as an infant... and another that was given when I was a toddler. You know, sleeping on real beds always hurt my back. I could never find a mattress firm enough. The desk is perfect. Of course, the first month was brutal lol- my thighs hurt more than anything else. Now I absolutely love it. The master bedroom is too open now-a-days. The master bathroom is the only one that works, so the household uses it. No privacy. And I like smaller spaces. I love my little room. It gets cluttered too quick and easily, but other than that, it's just right. I used to never use a pillow. I would sleep on my stomach with my hands under my thighs. I couldn't sleep any other way. Reflux got too bad a couple years ago so I started using a body pillow then. Now I can't imagine having slept any other way lol Oh yes... my memory is THAT bad

[Ginsan]

You know, I think that some time in the future I will remember your way of sleeping and use Google to help me find out about all kinds of interesting sleeping habits. And no, I didn't bother to find anything more interesting to say But I can relate to you. I could imagine why someone would enjoy a hard surface. I'd prefer no pillow at all to a big and very soft pillow. I'd have to be really really sleepy not to be so annoyed at a big/soft pillow to lose my sleep completely. And I think I'd sleep better if my mattress was a bit harder and would give in less. Now that I think about it, I remember considering replacing my mattress with a wooden board and placing some still pretty soft but much thinner stuff on top. I might really try it out soon. I can also understand the joy of having a tiny room. When I think about living alone in the future, I think I'd hire a room and just live there, I don't need much space anyway. Speakers, a pc, a tv for gaming, a couch, a bed, a desk, room for books/games, I think I'll be content with this fairly humble set-up. I think I'd also gain pleasure from a sense of pride I'd be proud and maybe even snobbish about being so efficient. It's certainly convenient because you have to clean up less, it's cheaper and it makes it less likely to have useless stuff lying around. Though this doesn't apply to you because you have kids and the rest of the house Plus it's more cozy when I invite a nice girl to my room Or if?
