Oh, how could I forget those weird-ass dreams I had just after my surgery last year. I can't remember the specifics, but they were shockingly realistic, more like hallucinations than dreams. This one "dream" made me wake up freaking out and pissing in the bed. Not fun when the slightest movement caused my back to hurt. After I dropped some of the painkillers that were supposedly the cause of it, the "dreams" became less unnerving and more...lucid. At one point, it was like I was half awake and half asleep, aware of my position in reality and my dream at the same time. I'm positive it had something to do with my pain. Odd, but it was nice since I had control of my dreams. Eventually, I lost this lucid dreaming ability after the pain began to subside. I miss it sometimes.

I could probably start doing so again but ehhhh >_>I find watching a film when I sleep more interesting than putting the effort into creating something myself lol.

Try pain, it seemed to have helped me.
Quote from: Sandtrap on November 03, 2014, 11:09:50 PMI think for the sake of fun, I'm going to describe the spoopy place from my nightmare.It rests in a desert, filled with ancient ruins, buried under sand. It stands out to any who live there, and all who live there, know it as The Shard. It's a dark, jagged rock formation that looks like a thorn. Dark, imposing rock that's unsettling to those who look at it, and imposing.The closer one gets to the shard, the more the sand starts to dissappear and smaller jagged formations of the same dark stony material show up. The sand blows over the shard, and either through erosion or something else, the shard is carved with passageways.Some are dead ends. Others lead through it for miles, connecting to more maze like passages. Some actually go deeper into the shard, going beneath the sand. But the real threat is inside. When close to the shard, or inside, it starts to warp reality.A person inside of it will suddenly find themselves in other places, other times. And they become invested in these fake constructs. But always, in every one, a scenario plays out. The people in every apparition are dead. They appear alive, but they're hollow. Dead emotionless eyes. And smiles. Smiles and laughter that that sounds out when the person invested in the construct is in trouble.It starts slowly at first, a bump, or a push, an argument. And then it gets violent. In these apparitions, the shard warps the mind of the traveler, and they come under attack from these dead occupants, who all act, laugh, and stare in unison.The longer you stay, the more the shard twists things, and the very rock above you seems to veer down over you, trying to trap you. You become invested in the construct, and then reality shatters as the occupants turn on you, laugh at you with dead eyes and hollow smiles, and then attack you, in increasing bouts of insanity.Point is, people who go into the shard, don't come back out.I can't imagine that being a pleasant dream .-.Thanks for sharing though, it's very vivid >.>

I had that when I was in the hospital. The parts that I remember the most are the sand, the fucking creepy as shit rock and stone, and of course, getting attacked by people with hollow eyes with smiles akin to the joker.
I sometimes draw what I see during the night whilst awake, if that helps. I tend to have hallucinations at times...
Oh my .-.Is that what supplies your... inspiration... for sangheili anatomy?
I was tortured by recurring night terrors as a child. They've stopped, but I still have really bad nightmares any time any part of my body (besides my head) remains uncovered while I slumber.I don't know why I can control my nightmares. It kinda freaks me out.

Quote from: Mr Psychologist on November 03, 2014, 09:50:48 PMany recurring themes Dreams where my teeth fall out of my mouth are really common. Also in almost all my dreams I'm female for some reason.
