I had a strange dream experience a few nights ago.

I was on a plane with the intent o going to sleep as soon as we took off. So, I took a melatonin, which I rarely do because I already have sleep issues and feel as though this will only deepen my inability to sleep at night if I use it too often.
Anyhow.

I didn’t actually fall into actual sleep for a good 45 minutes, at least. I was miserable. My stomach was killing me, I had no leg room, both sides of me were large men who took up all the space and I was in a bit of a silent panic just wanting to get off the plane.

I got as comfy as one could in a my seat and closed my eyes. Immediately it was lit turning a tv on with no picture, just sound. Like my brain immediately went into a partial dream mode. If I opened my eyes it shut off. If I closed them it started again. I tested it out a few times,. And sure enough! It happened each time. I had no control over the programming, it was just there.

Maybe it was that I was so tried., so stressed and trying to force sleep on myself, I dont know. I would love to experience it again though! And take notes… I can’t remember one thing about my dreams except someone talking about Barney Miller and someone with an axe

This is weird, but yeah that's what tiredness can do to you
@switchfoot Well, ya… its not like I’ve never been tired before though. 😏
Was fun! I’d love to experience it again.

@nonsensiclesnail I hope you do, it doesn't really work for me though and been ages since I've seen one that's worth remembering
@switchfoot Lately my dreams have been fantastic!

But when I’m depressed? My dreams are a huge clue to where i am mentally. When I’m depressed even my dreams are dull. I get to where I cant tell my dreams from my awake because its all so mundane and runs together.

Or, I can go through weeks t a time of dreaming about the same place with the same people and it is as though they welcome me back and we carry on with our adventures. For a time I started to wonder about the reality of dreams and if maybe it wasn’t just a universe somewhere in our mind that is just as real as this one, but I also know thats a teensy bit crazy.

@nonsensiclesnail Psychologically speaking dreams are partly curiosity but mainly your subconsciousness making sense out of past experiences, trying to deal with past trauma, and to take you out of your comfort zone to "make order out of chaos" as Jordon B Peterson phrased it.
@MartinTheFirst For the most part i do believe this is true. But I also like to think that sometimes its for are fun little adventures that reality can never offer.

@nonsensiclesnail Yes definitely! I feel like sometimes your subconscious just feels like you've had a rough time and wants to treat you, lol
