Like, I get that dreams are probably a way for the brain to sort and store its recent experiences, but why/how do we even remember those dreams? I can’t think of what purpose that could serve, other than to make me question my sanity.
I had a dream where I was in an elevator of a… sort of twin tower type of building… then the elevator malfuntioned and a lot of FREAKY SHIT happened…
like it stopped between levels… so its just a wall and you cant get out…
sometimes its stops like half way into a floor…
sometimes the doors open only on one side…
sometimes the elevator starts moving while the doors are open…
like… wtf man
and sometimes it just starts FALLING down the shaft…
aaaaaah
I never woken up more anxious…
the most cursed elevator experience ever
I think like at one point I just went up the stairs… to the 2nd floor, cuz I had fear of heights, then I was like fuck it I’m taking the elevator, aint walking all the way up
I think one it pass the half way point, things go very cursed up there.
So I went to the half way point… 50th floor I think. Then I started exploring… I felt like there’s a ghost chasing me…
Idk why asleep-me keep trying to ride up and down the cursed elevators…
I think I just worry about elevators too much…
Every time I get in one, I anticipate something bad would happen.
Elevatorphobia?
Maybe an allegory to your waking life?
This is hell, but I cant be bothered to take the stairs…I guess I’ll manage.
We don’t usually remember them. We have dream fragments but don’t usually remember entire dreams. And you probably only remember one when you will have 5-7 full dreams a night. You can train yourself to remember if you dream journal ( I did this for a while in my teens) and gave it up.
Number one they weren’t all that interesting in aggregate. Just bizarre and disturbing (most dream content has a negative emotional quality to it). Second you can get really good at remembering them, and it was taking an hour every morning just to write them all down.
other than to make me question my sanity.
I think it’s story time! ;)
I’ve seen things, man….
I think it’s a bug. Brain is supposed to erase everything except sometimes it doesn’t work entirely. I’m sure you do remember cases where you had very vivid memories of the dream but they were gone few hours later.
I think about this a lot and think it’s insane that there are not more religions based on dreams, considering the basis of so many religions.
Personally I believe there’s more to dreams than pure biology, and similarly that there’s more to consciousness than the materialist/emergence line of thought. They are the mysteries within, like the inside of black holes are to astronomy.
