Amnesia dream/nightmare stories

[mattwestwick]

I find that if I tell myself "Tonight, I will not dream about-insert scary thing here-"
then I don't dream about it. I tend to dream about things that are in the back of my mind during the day so I know better than to go to bed without checking off the spooky stuff I have seen that day.

Lucid dreaming is very exciting to do but it kind of screws with your head and can be emotionaly draining. It also leaves you a bit tired the next day from all the brain activity you have put in the night before.

Here's a fun tip. If you have vivid dreams but wake up just as you realise you're in one. Look at your hands and turn them around a few times. It helps to distract your mind from getting over-excited and will prolong the dream. I have also heard that turning around on the spot helps to refresh your dream-state before you get overstimulated and wake up.

I could go on and on about this but maybe another time.

P.S. Try working in a fast food outlet. The grinding monotony and repitition will give you what I call "Subway Dreams" where you manifest the same boring scenarios of working in your sleep.
As if it wasn't bad enough to work there during the day. Now they get you at night.
