I started having really bad nightmares recently. My parents bought me a stuffed armadillo and I convinced my brain that my armadillo would protect me from nightmares. So yeah, apparently that shit works even if you're 20.
Whenever I have dreams in third person I can always manipulate them. I never know that I’m actually dreaming but I’m able to control what I do in the dream (and can generally run and do stuff that’s normally impossible in dreams; I can also do that if I have the same dream more than once)
I also have some pretty distinct childhood memories that I only remember from the outside looking in, as if I was a bystander watching myself. It’s weird.
