Deadly Dreams

Yeah, I notice the same thing.

 

LOL His heart is in the right place though. I don't discount what he says regarding anything medical though, he's S.I.'s resident Doc.

 

I had some drinks that night for sure, while on vacation that's to be expected. So that definitely could have been a contributing factor, although I wasn't being excessive or anything. The dream was as real as could be though. I know the feeling of trying to get to the surface and almost not getting there, it's locked in my brain, so maybe it's just replaying an old track like a CD player on shuffle / repeat? I won't rule out sleep apnea though, I hear it's pretty common. Hope yours doesn't take you out one day. You should wear the mask, post a shart huffer style video with it on, it'll be great!

 

Bane mask FTW!!!

 

HAHAHA Whatever works dude!

 

Thanks for the input Toonces. Let me clarify a bit.

I don't have breathing / sleeping problems per say (that i'm aware of). I simply had a bad dream about drowning and literally couldn't breathe as a result. I was gasping for air my wife tells me. She woke me up and I was fine immediately. I can't remember a time that has happened before. I have had other real vivid dreams where i'm running and my legs get going or i'm fighting and my arms get going or i'm having sex and my hip thrusters get going (no joke). But we're talking a handful of times not like every week or even every month.

As for my habits. I self medicate using herb on a regimented schedule to deal with depression / anxiety as well as hyper-hydrosis (excessive sweating, usually brought on by anxiety). It is the only thing to help keep sh*t to a minimum without altering my brain the way anti-depressants do. I tried them before (anti-depressants) and I hated every day I was on them. It wasn't me.

With the herb and how I use it, I only get "high" for a short duration and then i'm back to "normal" rather quickly. It doesn't affect me the way it does a lot of others when i'm regular with it. I operate at a very sober / coherent level 99% of the time, only when I mix with a lot of alcohol can it get out of hand for me. To me it's the best / safest alternative I have found to dealing with these issues. (herb, not alcohol)

As for the alcohol. I wouldn't say I get drunk hardly ever anymore. If I drink 3 or 4 IPA's, I'll get a little buzz but i'm not drunk. If I do that 3 times (Friday - Sunday), that's a 12 pack. Nothing extreme or anything, but I definitely could cut back a little more, as I have already done so recently.

I'm not really looking for advice to be honest. I just thought it was an interesting experience and thought i'd share and see if anybody else had experienced the same thing. I sometimes wonder if our dreams / subconscious is where we go when we eventually die. What if that's the next life? Lucid dream our way through eternity?

 

LOL Thanks.

 

My wife was using the mouth guard for a while to help her deal with the snoring. It helped for sure. But she got tired of wearing it every night and gave it up. I might encourage her to get back to it, for selfish reasons of course lol

 

Haha Nice picture!

Dang man that sucks, it's always a gamble relying on those things. Two more weeks and you should be good to go though.
