On rare occasion I’ve taken control of nightmares in a Lucid dream state - typically waiking up momentarily and then going back to sleep.

I’m just not sure if the psychic cost of having these types of intense dreams encoded in memory is healthier than just sleeping and not remembering.

A bit plagued by my dreams ( thereby my subconscious ) if I can remember them.

That was the question I guess, I hear the idea I should engage more to remember dreams, but not sure if that is healthy for people to do who have vivid and disturbing dreams regularly (eg. Under attack, people I love getting hurt ect…)

As with the above posters, any idea if regularly dream journaling (and potentially lucid dreaming) is actually healthy or not?

I say this as someone who gets pretty bad nightmares and has had numerous lucid dreams (even transitioning from nightmare to lucid dream)

I have no idea if further engaging with my dream state is healthy or not?

Your name is lucid nightmare lol… I’m not buying it ;-P

As someone who worked night shifts for a little - it’s really not healthy.

There are studies showing that type of disruption to your circadian rhythm can take like more than a decade off your life. After doing it for a while I felt it impacting my well being, not being really awake, hitting the bed and falling asleep immediately but not deeply, super high base load of stress and heart pain.

FWIW , I’m talking working 11-4/6am type night shifts, not the late night retail/bar shifts which are tough in their own right

Excellent choices!

If you watch the new Aliens movie they can kill your wife. Read the ticket!!

Fuckin bullshit. I’ve seen the cave paintings - they were throwing those fuckers

Believe it or not I also don’t wear shoes inside the house 😁

Sorry - not true. This dog lives on the couch and has barely set foot outside.

They come with paw feet naturally. I want that too, not to go harden my foot pads by walking on rocks and buying fancy nature shoes

I would love to see a picture of your paw feet 😂

Thumbs are cool. I’m talking paw feet

You seem angry :-p

Thanks my dude. I was just asking you an honest question. Appreciate the information

If you’re going to be an apologist for a predator at least understand the situation. It looks like you are arguing just to be contrarian- not a good look in this case, highly insensitive given the type of crime we are discussing.

He did not serve his full eight year sentence. He was transferred back to Holland from England to serve the remainder of his eight year sentence - and was released the same year

So to answer you: No he absolutely did not serve his sentence

Thanks, great read. Appreciate it. That was one example but you mentioned two - are you thinking of some of the broader disinformation applications in addition to the data gathering mentioned?

Please elaborate for the uneducated

The part where you said you voted in multiple elections. I added it to my original post because you missed the thread

I’m quoting you here:

“As a European that lived in America briefly (ten years) I was very shocked when I encountered the gun culture there.”

“I voted for Bernie in the 'primary, I voted for Biden and I'm voting for Kamala. Trump is a piece of shit insurrectionist that should not be on the ballot.“

How are these two things possible without you being a liar?

Da fuck(?)… Teflon Don is at it again!

If I had done simply one of the many horrible and illegal things Trump has done I’d be right in jail and ostracized by the community.

Meanwhile he’s worshipped by the dumb and evil minded and gets put in positions of power in the government.

At least it gives me more confidence in myself (for not being a scumbag) and zero in the power structure of this country, that serves only to protect the capitalist overlords

Looks great
