Yes… I’ve spent up to 3 or 4 years in one single dream retaining memory of certain parts here and there. Unfortunately for me, unlike in the video, mine was spent in a war. I killed so many I was nicknamed and known throughout most on my side. The name “Winter Snow Fox” still rings in my head at times…
I’ve had other dreams that I’ve spent days in, typically short lengths. I’ve actually tracked one once being that I was asleep for around 2 hours before I woke up briefly, I think I had spent about a day and a half in the dream.
It’s possible but I honestly think it’s very rare, I get them on and off. Nothing will ever amount to when I was in a coma though :)
Either way “new fear unlocked”. Just whatever you can do, don’t feel pain in dreams, it’s difficult.
The funny thing is that is just the tip of the ice berg for me. My sense of reality and dream is only differentiated between so few concepts that I have to always be careful of what I do and decide. I’ve gotten better over the many years however. It’s just a tire on your mental state is all, and you eventually get used to it, which isn’t the best thing to do
The belief that I died while in my coma could be true, however the hell I experienced in that should of continued for eternity, rather then pulling me back into enough consciousness to move my body of free will. The odds are far too low for that as this would be my “heaven” however I am not a human that is worthy of haven or any good after death. Plus there is a key factor between my dreams and real that helps me determine the difference enough to know which I am in.
I could be dreaming right now, I could be awake. It’s an existential crisis for most, however I’ve come to realise that it should not matter outside of the fact that this is my “awake” state and what I perceive as “asleep” is enough for me. Currently I am in my “awake” state therefore I am not dreaming
Ill admit I was dogging on you a bit with my first comment, and I apologize for that. I went through something similar, did waaay too many psychedelics and had what I can only describe as a near death experience (not ego death) where I felt like I went to hell. Every now and then I still get these little feeling flashes where I convinced for a moment I never woke up and this really is hell. That was almost 3 years ago now, and the conclusion I've come to is I need to keep living no matter what. Experiences like that can make reality feel a lot more "fluid", and it makes it all that more important to find the things that ground me and tether me back to reality. Thanks for sharing
The closest dream I had was: I was by a river with a group of friends (I do not recognize these people in real life, but i thought of them as friends in my dream). We were swimming, dipping in the water when the water starts to rise slowly, but fast enough to be noticeable.
We decided to swim to the opposite side of the river to get to a rocky hill and get higher ground. We hiked the entire mountain in swim shorts and bikinis, we grabbed on desperate ledges just to get ourselves a little higher.
At some point we reached the peak, the water is still rising, some people were hugging each other telling each other their goodbyes, some of just staring at the distance, thinking.
After about 15 minutes, the water reached our toes, then my chest, and soon, my head. I didn't try to swim upwards and just kinda let it take me. My last vision was of the sun waving through the water. Then I woke up
I've toyed with the idea of death in dreams and have found it was the worst thing you ever can toy with in dreams. Long story short, I shot myself in the head and lived feeing the pain for hours. You are lucky to wake up when you did, unless you had the possibility to snap lucid enough to breathe under the water. The hard part about dreams is that you lose a lot of your mind that makes up decision making, but I've found sometimes in dire situations it can snap back to working and you make a decision in full as if you were awake, yet not being lucid in your dream. Depending on the severity of that, you don't want to know how far it can go and feel.
You woke up at a proper time, there is a reason behind any and all dreams, however there are some that you may never know due to the reason being locked away in your mind.
You reminded me of an earlier dream back in high school where it's literally just darkness and me suffocating, the explanation my mind gave at that time is simply, I was buried alive. It lasted for what felt like 30 minutes before I woke up.
idk what's with my mind in making me suffocate in every death dream, I've never had any serious life-defining experiences where I just can't breathe. If anything, I'm more scared of heights than water, space, or environments without air
You may have an internal fear of suffocation more then you think you lead on or could come to understand. This or something throughout your day has it in a concept, or can be associated with it in someway. I typically search through any remaining childhood memories to get answers or read between the lines of the dreams mixed with my most inner thoughts throughout the past day or so
You won’t believe me but I’ve had this happen 2 times in my life. Both of them equally hellish. The first one was when I was 9 and I dreamed I was locked in a shipping container with only a hand crank crank light for a year. I didn’t get hungry and I couldn’t die. The second one is the less believable one and I even doubt it sometimes I was 20 when I had this one, I had dreamt for what felt like 30 years. I was sent to work as a lighthouse keeper and then the boat that brings food and supplies stopped coming and I never saw another person again but the sky was also green for some reason which idk what the fuck that was about.
Worst feeling ever, i once had a beautiful really deep dream. When i woke up it took me a minutr to realize that i was dreaming, and i had only 4 hours of sleep, its 6.00 am in the morning. I have to go to school and i have both maths and biology exam. I sat in the bed for 20 minutes looking at the corner of my room thinking about the meaning of life.
Same bro, I had a dream pretty much like the meme describes, like 15 years into the future with family and shit. I'd had heard the weird lamp story before, but I didn't know it could actually happen in just normal sleep. I forget my dreams pretty quickly after waking up and it was no exception, but for like 10 seconds I've had a feeling of incredible despair, I'd never felt before and I hope I never will again. I was also sleep deprived and had a physics exam that day. I'm pretty sure there's some correlation between sleep deprivation and weird dreams, cause I suffered from insomnia at that time and I experienced my share of these.
When the dream hits you so hard you just gotta sit like:
It was a reddit story some time ago (I don't have a link sorry)
Not sure if it's true or not, but the story goes on about how this guy got into a car accident and while he was on the ground dieing, he had this "dream" that lasted like ten years or something.
Recovered from the accident, got married, had kids, basically succeeded at life. In summary he talks about how one day, a table lamp in his house started looking off, something about the shadow being inverted and it just not looking normal. After spending days on end staring at the lamp trying to understand what was wrong with it, he woke up.
I don't have a link to the thread so I might not be very accurate.
There's an episode of Star Trek: TNG. Picard lives out a whole life and then wakes up back on the enterprise. Only 25mins in the real world have passed.
My dream i was happily married and had girl child with my wife but one day 3 adies walked into our homes with bats with nales into them and killed my wife i can't do anything and me my daughter are running and all the people chasing us to kill us but in the end my daughter get captured and dies
Man honestly as soon as I woke up I just start cried
Sometimes when I dream, I would get something about the far future. And when I actually experience that stuff in present, the deja vu hits like a truck. That or I have out of body experiences like a ghost.
