Proof that humans can get used to pretty much anything

8 hours sleep? I wish... As I get older sleep become an elusive thing.

The natural selection implications for dream amnesia are wild.

Anyone who says this doesn't know what "coma" means. Or "lucid" for the matter

Look at the guy who sleeps 8 hours a night and also have dreams, I wish I would have that luxury

Capital won't care about dreams until they can inject commercials, propaganda, etc.

What more proof do you need that materialism is bullshit?

Human memories are stored in flesh

Flesh has to be replaced constantly

When you sleep your memories are being copied and reallocated to new flesh, the things you experience in dreams are just a series of incredibly losely related themes and concepts. In general human memory searching relies on association of concepts rather than any sorted lists or some other silly inorganic solution.

8 hours sounds nice. I usually manage about 4 or 5

I have had only a few vivid, real feeling dreams that have stuck with me for years. Do I know what they mean, nope. Do I wish I had more of them... yes. Working on improving my sleep in the last year or so. I think my average sleep time actually got a few mins. shorter. Oops.

Every time I lucid dream, I end up waking myself up with something stupid like tripping as I step off a curb.

HUMAN BEINGS MAKE LIFE SO INTERESTING. DO YOU KNOW, THAT IN A UNIVERSE SO FULL OF WONDERS, THEY HAVE MANAGED TO INVENT BOREDOM.

You can train yourself to remember dreams if you start writing down everything you remember.

You can also learn to recognize that you are in a dream and take control (look up lucid dreaming).

havent had 8 hours of "lucid coma" since before most of you were born

Sex is weird too. You undress and make your self vulnerable and expend a lot of energy and risk catching a disease and then fall asleep. Either we do it for fun or to create a parasite that we have to take are of.

Almost everyone does it almost every day, it would be more strange if everyone was freaking out about it.

I mean sure we accept it, but we do put dreams to a high regard. Hence why you can say something is dreamy, or a dream come true.

Maybe we don’t know enough about dreams yet?

Wait do y'all actually dream every day? For the full time of sleeping?

I only dream after I've already slept way more than enough for the day and even then it's like a less than 10% chance of having any dreams at all

If I don't smokadaweed before bed I do tend to remember them. One of the reasons I try not to smoke late in the evening.

I always tell myself I'm going to be fully self-aware when I enter the dream tube, but sadly I never remember if that happened or not.

I used to be able to remember my dreams, or at the very least I would wake up with a sensation that I had had a dream, but anymore though I just feel like a blank slate, like nothing happened. If I dream anymore I’m completely losing them because I don’t even have the feeling that I’m forgetting anything, it’s just blank when I sleep now.

We are, after all, merely brains in a (bone) jar. :-)

Don’t forget time dilution.

They who master the skill of controlled time dilation will quickly ascend to rule the universe.. or so i was told in a dream.

8 hours of sleep ! Wow I'd love that ! If I can get 6 hours it's a great night. Haven't been able to sleep 8 hours in years except for the rare weekends where I don't get woken up by the neighbors dogs or to work my second job.

And you wonder why your dog is so fucked up lol

And yet we think our waking life is more real.

We slip through the veil of reality, do we.

Yeah not all of us get the amnesia unfortunately.

It helps having an idea of what causes the phenomenon, certainly. I get a lot calmer about basically everything when I know just what the hell is going on.

Jokes on you, I dream maybe few times per year. And I remember times when I didn't dream about anything for years.

Pretty neat huh?
