This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
Sleep deprivation. It's borderline narcolepsy when you've deprived your body of meaningful sleep for so long that it skips all the bullshit and goes straight to REM sleep.
Used to happen to me a lot on the bus home after work. I'd just slip into a dream, scare myself awake thinking I missed my stop, and realize I was only half a mile down the road.
But now imagine there was a way to trigger this on purpose and remain lucid.
Time dilution is absolutely real. Allowing us to experience more “life” per time but Its that controlling part that’s tricky.
I've read that keeping a dream journal helps. Basically, you're training whatever part of your consciousness is still active in dream land to notice that it's important.
I've always wondered - do we know what is actually the cause of this?
I've had this happen before in similar circumstances as the post but way less severe, and I always figured it was because the brain's "processing speed" increased, allowing it to process a bigger quantity of information per unit of time, but I don't think that would make sense given that entering this state usually needs you to be hella tired?
Nobody told you life was gonna be this way
👏👏👏👏
Your life's a greentext, you're Anon, your sleep paralysis is keeping you awaaake
Your job's a joke, you're broke, your love life's D.O.A.
I've seen the show.
looks like you're stuck in second gear there...
It probably hasn't been their day, week, month, or even year.
No one going to call out that anon has sleep apnea? Dude just dozed off and stopped breathing and his brain wrote a quick narrative to explain it. People talking like anon went to another plain, but this is just some shit your brain does when your body is so dumb it forgets to breath when you fall asleep and your brain is desperate to wake your ass up so it can get its oxygen fix.
Plus, statements like "felt like hours" can mean many different things. Anon says it felt like hours, yet doesn't describe very many things happening. The sort of amnesia-like feeling of waking up from a dream when your brain has flushed your short term memory down the drain and has to rebuild context for what happened can be described as "feeling like hours passed" when not much time passed. Anon's dream doesn't have many details because, like all dreams, it wasn't terribly long. It felt like a long time, because like all sleep, there is a very distinct gap in your perception of time about what happened.
Yep this started happening to me a year ago. I was finally diagnosed with sleep apnea a couple months ago. I'd wake up screaming and gasping for air right after falling asleep, and sometimes in the middle of the night. Scary as fuck. Thankfully CPAP stopped it once I got used to it.
OP visited the "Friends zone"
On mobile, at quick glance, the negative space between the elbow and body looks like him puking all over a table.
Sounds like your supply of Friends may have been contaminated with Twin Peaks
This happens periodically if I take Benadryl before bed.
If you want some crazy fucked up nightmares, fall asleep with a nicotine patch on
Sleep paralysis. Worst shit ever.
Nah, sleep paralysis keeps you fully aware of your lack of motion, anon was walking in the dream
Yuh-huh. I suffer from it occasionally and experience this right down to the "flailing" trying to wake up. Absolute torture.
He went to the backrooms. He must have found the exit, but will never remember.
