I constantly have dreams where crazy violent and weird stuff happens but I don't wake up in cold sweats or anything. I just get up and was like "that was kinda fucked" and then go take a shower and go about my day.

Am I a psychopath or something?

List of dreams I have had

Falling out of the sky (repeatable)

falling from really high places and landing like nothing happened (repeatedly)

Shredder threading to kill my family (my youngest brother wasnt born yet) though a projector from my desk and talking about he turned the teenage mutant Ninja turtles evil, I tried to wake up my younger brother in the dream but failed ,I ended up sleeping with mom (nightmare ,only once)

Something related to Danny phantom ,also after I went to sleep with mom because f that nightmare ,this is also a nightmare but I actually won somehow ,plot armor lol (once)

A Dream where my dad is driving me and my brother to Waddi Al Bathan ,the area is very high and in real life it’s pretty scary since there isn’t much protection put to protect you from falling ,in the dream when we reach that high place which dies exist in real life ,there’s no road forward and it’s cut in half and my dad keeps going with the car , I am very scared but the car lands safely even though there’s was like a 50 m difference if not more (that’s a dream I always had as a kid but don’t get anymore)

My French financée and my mom teasing me and doing girl talk (once only) [this should be classified as a nightmare ! Right ?]

A dream where I had spider man web shooters for like 2 minutes 😭 (I wanted to use them more goddes it 😭)

Me doing that random color wires puzzle (once)

Me getting bad grades on an Arabic exam or an exam of a subject I had ,it varies cause I study computer engineering and have no subjects now

The thing is that it’s always an exam I didn’t actually have at all ,I still get the bad grade 17/25 in Arabic and I’m not even in school 😭 (this dream is still reoccurring but the subjects vary though weirdly it’s never something I am good at , I guess my dreams are self conscious?)

I have weird ones too, I think some people would describe as nightmares but when I wake up I'm like "I should write that down."

Last night I drempt a major city nearby had flooded up to the top floors of skyscrapers and thousands of rats came scurrying along the ground to get out of the water. At first I thought they were frogs until I got a better look at them in some light.

Some other stuff happened I won't bore the class with, but eventually I was crawling through secret passages hidden in some cupboards where there was a reactor at the center. Except there was an even more secret passage and a path leading deeper into the house where I found this guy I was looking for and shot him. Then my wife came into the passage (I don't have a wife) and said to leave the body there we have guests so we'll have to clean up his corpse later.

Then I woke up after I arrived at our kitchen through a different cupboard.

But yeah there were multiple homicides and disasters in that dream and I felt like all I did was watch some sci-fi movie akin to Aliens or Mad Max.

Yeah that's kinda how it feel for me, like a just watched a horror movie, scary but not like traumatizing.

I do sometimes have utterly terrifying dreams. A recent one that woke me up just randomly had some corpsified girl biting my arm and screeching. As I woke up I was sort of unable to move and I was letting it a low keening sound according to my gf.

They are incredibly scary in the moment, but once I wake up I get over it pretty quick.

corpsified? Decomposing, undead?

Lmao, I always got the same dreams but absolutely woke up in a panic. Turns out I've had sleep apnea my whole life and it was my brain screaming for oxygen. It probably means that you're just having them as normal dreams but because your body isn't literally trying to kill itself you don't get all bent out of shape about it.

I actually have sleep apnea but I got a cpap. I sleep way better but still got crazy dreams.

Consider journaling about them. It might give you some insight that would be hard to get otherwise!

I just had a zombie outbreak dream that took place on a train but it was kinda chill because I wasn't actually present, it was like watching a movie but in immersive 3D.

but I've also had some incredibly terrifying and visceral dreams where I was trying to survive a mass shooting, those ones fucked me up bad. that and the one where I was trapped in a hedge maze with a bear. fuck that

[–] peeonyou@hexbear.net 2 points 4 days ago

most of the time yeah.. but every once in a great while a dream will actually fuck me up for a little bit after i wake up

[–] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 days ago

Yeah same, they can be incredibly complex as well
