Ahahaha I know right??

Here’s one of my other (more recent, a few months ago) dreams that I remember. This one is called Spaceship Murder Mystery
why does autocorrect keep putting ‘a’ in front of certain words??
This dream is really short compared to my other ones.

So what I can remember is that I was on a big ship of some sorts. Like a cruise ship but in space (though it most def didn’t look like a cruise ship, just using it as an example). I rarely dream as myself, so I have no idea if I looked like myself in this dream since I didn’t even see a reflection of myself in the dream. Also didn’t learn any details about the character I dreamt as aside from the fact I was on a spaceship where only rich people got on so I ca assume either I was rich or a rich person got me on.

So it started out normal, until one of the passengers went missing. And people started to question. To conspire. We later ended up learning from one of the crew members that someone was an alien and aboard the ship, killing people. This alien could shapeshift to look like anything it needed to.
So eventually, it ends up with me going to my room, turning off the light and locking the door and going to bed in my dream. And then I hear someone knocking on the door, so I get up and they tell me (I’ll also make another note, I did not say anything whatsoever in this dream. No words at all, didn’t make a sound) that they heard something in one of the nearby rooms and they’re going to check it out with two others. I come along, for whatever reason.

So we’re walking in a dimly lit hallway, until we come across these big doors. We open them, and the room within is brightly lit. The lights hadn’t turned off in this room yet. I can see a window to the outside (aka space). There’s a lot of spots in this room you can hide behind and wait for someone to round the corner.
Now this next part here seems really drawn out, but in the dream it was only around 3 seconds.

I turn the corner, alone, and I’m presented by the former inhabitants of this room, but they don’t look much like a human anymore. And they’re not the alien, either, they’re just dead. I’m talking really vivid, descriptive gore here. I could describe it, but I don’t really want to, so I’m just going to say there was a lot of red and organs not where they were supposed to be.

I then hear a loud screech, like a jump scare noise, and I wake up from the dream (for real.)

That’s it. I’ll never know who the alien is.

(Same I desperately want to make Staple fanart this is getting s p i c y also Betsy I stg this sounds like something straight out of a book, are you sure you're not a protagonist or something???)

Also! This is kind of gross and maybe oversharing, so fair warning. Just something that happens to me once in a blue moon and I'm kind of curious if anyone else gets this? Hasn't happened in a while but sometimes I guess I need to use the bathroom but my brain takes the "hey we need to pee" message from my body and turns it into a dream? And then you can put together what happens. Idk, just wanted to see if anyone else's weird brain does this too. Again, might have been oversharing and tmi, so if you regret reading that then I'm sorry.

It's actually one of the most common dreams! Irl, you need to pee, so in the dream you start looking for a bathroom or somewhere private. A lot of people describe it as not being able to find a bathroom, not getting enough privacy, not sanitary enough conditions, people are watching you in the stall/urinal, or only finding bathrooms you aren't supposed to use. Eventually, you wake up and promptly relieve yourself, or in very rare cases, one might do so without waking up.

Okay, so, a dream I had. Can't remember exactly when, but it found its way to my memories.

In the dream, I woke up. I'm surrounded by pink clouds and I'm just lying on this bed of all-white. The bed had curtains of white surrounding it, almost completely closed except for the sliver I could see through. So, as one would, I opened the curtains and decided to see what was beyond them. The sky around the clouds was an even more pastel pink.

I walked around, the clouds ever-so-slightly giving beneath my stride. It smelled sweet and was a truly blissful sight, though the sky around me began to darken into a static-like picture of black, white, and grey. A ringing noise started, getting louder and louder until the came to a sharp stop.

I woke up again within the all-white bed. Though this time there was someone next to me in it. Someone who I recognized. They appeared to be asleep, just nodding their head slightly back and forth as they dreamt with a smile.

They said to me in a faint mumble, "I love you, [my first name], you will never forget that." They proceeded to cling onto my arm tight and the ringing noise resumed. After a while, the ringing stopped again and I heard 'I love you' whispered one last time. Then I woke up.

Here’s another dream I remember, i think this one was sleep paralysis though? It’s just the general situation of it is weird.

First dream - I’m in my old room in my bed. The door is open. I see light coming from the kitchen (because the moment you step from my room, you’re in the kitchen or dining room depending on where you step)
I’m still under the blankets, I can’t move, eyes wide open. I don’t think I blinked at all during this. I’m forced to look towards the door, in which something - a tall person, maybe a man, but very tall is standing in the doorway. His features shrouded by the darkness of my room, but I can see him only because of the light behind him. He’s unmoving, for around ten minutes or so, before I finally get ‘released’ and I throw myself under the covers quickly. Fall asleep after that.

Months later, in my current room now. Again, the door is open, so there’s just the stove light that you can see that gives off a little light.
This time, it’s like the same man from before. I can’t see any of his features, only that he IS STANDING DIRECTLY ABOVE ME, and I cannot move anywhere or look somewhere else, only stare up at the featureless body looming over my bed.
I don’t remember how long this one lasted or when I fell asleep but I haven’t had one of these experiences since. Kinda creepy that the guy moved closer though. I’m glad I haven’t had a third experience.

Sleep paralysis is always interesting. It's creepy that even though the body was closer, there was still no extra detail.

I've only had it once, when I was 10-11ish? It was summer, and I go to bed early, so it was still pretty light in my room. I was trying to fall asleep when a super loud, basso voice started speaking, yelling really, maybe giving some commands. I couldn't understand because they weren't speaking English. I froze up and all I could do was stare at nothing, clinging to my covers. There was no one in my room, and the TV couldn't be that loud. Besides, why would my parents watch something in a different language? After a while, another voice responded, this one higher pitched than the first, but still very deep. They both seemed mad. They went on arguing at each other for a long time, barking at each other in a language I didn't know. After a while it must've stopped and I found a way to sleep. I was definetely in shock.

Some people have visual scares, others have the illusion of physical touch, and still others have strictly audial hallucinations during sleep paralysis. I've always been more of a "sound" person, so I understand why there were no demons or creepy shapes taking the voices' form. Still scared the shiz outta me.

Sometimes when I'm drifting off to sleep, my thoughts start to sound like other people's voices, and they get really loud and jarring. Several times I've heard what sounded like family members saying my name very sharply and angrily. I don't know why it happens, but usually I try to wake back up at that point because I have a suspicion that those voices often lead to bad dreams. shrug

Oo! Those are called hypnogogic hallucinations. They occur when you're falling asleep, and can most certainly be something like family or friends calling your name, doorbells ringing, dogs barking, and other sounds becoming distorted. Visually, you may think you saw something fall, or someone walk past.
A study once showed that people who played excessive amounts of Tetris would experience something called "The Tetris Effect". As the subjects were falling asleep, their hypnogogic hallucinations consisted of the game of Tetris playing before their eyes- Tetris blocks falling, faintly.

Sometimes, but more rarely, voices in your head "becoming real" may be your mind trying to transition from wake to dream.

That makes a lot of sense lol, very interesting. So are those related to those really annoying dreams where, for example, you spent all day riding in a car so you dream that you're back in the car, driving all night? Or maybe you spent hours and hours in a complicated coloring book so all you see when you close your eyes is a half-finished coloring page? Those tend to be the least restful dreams in my experience.

Certainly, dreams and hypnogogic hallucinations are heavily influenced by your day to day, especially when something you experienced was tedious or important.

Well at least now I know how it works ahaha. Thanks for the random fact of the day!

:)

I was once forced to stay in an at least a half sleeping manner and I spent the long hours reliving the battle at the end of Divergent. Not a good night.

so I had another staple dream.

So two nights ago I decided not to go to sleep and pulled an all nighter, but last night I did go to sleep and had a kinda weird staple dream. So basically we were in a small room that was all green. And it was super plain, it was just four green walls, no door or anything. And human Staple was standing right across from me and he said, "you didn't show up last night, where were you?" then I said, "sorry, I didn't want to go to sleep." Then he just went "oh okay cool" Then the dream ended.

But this time I did get a better look at human staple, so he's about 6'2, his hair is wavy and just long enough to fall in front of his eyes, his skin is light grey, his eyes are grey, then he was wearing dark grey cargo pants, grey work boots, a light grey tank top, and those steampunk goggle things to keep his hair out of his eyes. So yeah, that's human Staple, I'm really surprised I remembered all that.

(Yes I did!! Here he is! Probably not super accurate but I tried lol)
