It's amazing that the brain will traumatize itself to a point of even just simulating pain in dreams in an almost realistic way
I've never had my hand snapped back but that shit hurts like never before in dreamland
I've never fallen from a building before but somehow, simulates the feeling of that dreadful plummet below

It makes it even worse when you actually fall from your bed when it does happen. I remember that happening to me, and I was halfway on the floor.

"Killing him would just wake him up. But pain... Pain is in the mind. And judging by the décor, we're in your dream, aren't we, Pupper?"

Maybe this will sound like a stupid joke but... I've had nightmares where I fly freely and for some reason I end up falling and colliding with a cactus :) fucking mind i have

Everyone talking about dreams... I never have them (or “remember” them, whatever). I still think I don’t have them because well I have aphantasia so I do not see images in my head at all.

I’ve always been fascinated with the concept of dreams and the idea that everyones’ brains are wired differently. People can do fascinating things with their imagination; they can invoke such powerful emotions through art like this.

After reading books and talking to other people, I’ve known that nightmares exist... but this level is almost too overwhelming for me. I’ve heard people say that they would trade their pleasant dreams and their imagination away just to never experience a nightmare again. I don’t know how to feel about this. On one hand I envy others for being able to experience this phenomenon, positive or negative. On the other, I ironically sympathize with the feelings of overstimulation (on an external level).

Peoples’ brains are just wired differently; some people have cross-firing action that leads to electrical burns, while I’m just missing wires entirely. Hopefully through art, we can all empathize with each other despite our wholly unique and drastically different perspectives and experiences.

I simulated my arm breaking in a lucid dream, before I'd ever broken my arm... it was weirdly just like the real thing.
