Teabags Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 One of the worst things I used to find for giving me restless sleep was playing computer games before bed, my brain would still be racing when I went to bed and it used to give me crazy dreams. My nephew also used to play Playstation before bed and suddenly developed a sleepwalking habit (one time walking into the living room, pissing on the carpet and then yelling "I CAN'T GET TO THE NEXT LEVEL!"). It stopped as soon as his ma stopped him playing PS2 in the evening. So if you're a gamer, try knocking that on the head. Best avoiding movies right before bed as well, reading for an hour right before bed might help you get more relaxed sleep.I've actually been really drunk and having sex before adn said "I'm going to cum, but it's okay cos I saved a couple of minutes back and we can just load it and continue from there over and over again". She had no fucking clue what I meant.The benefits of being a game developer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the guys featured was a huge gamer, he would sleepwalk at night and lie on his bed in a sniping position waiting for enemy troops to go past so he could deliver headshots.

Soda Jerk Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 I watch sitcoms before bed, but my dreams aren't funny. Sleep can fuck off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skubbs Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 I've been trying to place what it is that makes me dream like that. I can't suss it out. I've rulled out cheese, booze and caffiene. I'd prefer not to have to endure them, if it was at all possible. The dreams where I was seeing weird shit in my bedroom were only over a short duration and seem to have stopped. I felt the need to apologise to my boyfriend afterwards as seeing my face the first time it happened completely freaked him out... not assisted by the fact that in poor lighting, my eyesight is significantly better than his. He was convinced for a second that I was seeing something he couldn't.See my chum and I found that while on holiday we had really fucked up dreams, I think it was because we couldn't get into a really deep sleep because of the hard mattress and the fact that our neighbours were utter cunts and screamed "wakey wakey" every morning at 5am... so we were remembering them because we'd get woken up half-way through a really wierd one.Have you tried turning your mattress, maybe positioning your bed in a different direction etc... Once I got back, and got to sleep in a comfy bed the wierd dreams stopped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lame Guitarist Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 How the hell do you people all remember dreams??? I always waken up and can't remember anything my dreams consist of. I know I have had them as there are small flashbacks of things but thats it.Bummer for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skubbs Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 What I got told at uni is that you get dreams in non-rem sleep and rem sleep, and you remember the ones from your last cycle of rem sleep best.It's only 1st year so it's probably more complicated than that, just dumbed down for us first year thick shits...

Lemonade Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 I usually remember mine as soon as I wake up, but they fade again very quickly, often by the time I've had breakfast I can't remember a thing about them. (unless they are very vivid, which is rare) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 I used to have recurring dreams when I was younger that me and my mum were in jail, but my Dad and Sister were on the otherside and weren't. It was kinda weird that when my folks got a divorce, thats how it divided up, by choice. So, I pretty much saw into the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Jo-D Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 I remember them if they are bizzare normally telling someone which it then makes them stickHeard if you smoke weed you tend to forget dreamsI had a recurring dream I was being chased by a bear the size fo a house once Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Stu Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 Yeah, weed totally kills dreams. Though if you're being deeply affected by them you maybe don't want to start blazing chronic to stop them, you might go schizo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RossP Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 This morning I had a weird dream.I arrived at the Saved By The Bell Diner, with my mate Dave to watch a band. The band turned out to be a bunch of 18 year old girls wearing ballgowns and playing an Earthtone9 song. I don't remember much else about the band, apart from there was 3 girls all gathered around the drumkit playing different parts of it.At that point Harold Bishop from Neighbours walks in with a RNLI flag which my mate Dave had ordered.I then woke up.

Soda Jerk Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 I love dreams that are absolutely bananas. I had one at the weekend where I was on a bus, and the floppy haired ex Spurs goalie Ian Walker got on and started kicking a football about, off the windows and the heads of passengers. The 2 yoofs at the back of the bus playing their shit mobile phone music started to get angry and complain. Things got physical but Ian Walker chinned them both. He caned one of them so hard the bus tipped on its side. As it toppled and crashed on its side, a panel on the chassay cracked open and spewed coins everywhere. Ian Walker barged to the front of the bus to get dibs.I just remember sitting there there the whole time and not moving. Until the bus tipped over of course, then for some reason I was on the outside of the bus watching the whole thing.Mint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
black_matter Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 I get horrific sleepwalking patterns. I've screamed fuck off countless times in my sleep, i've been halfway out my window on a sunday trying to get to an exam i was late for and ive woken up in the washing basket downstairs. It's all related to stress apparently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
