don’t know how to describe it or what it’s called. but on some occasions when im trying to sleep at night, my body doesn’t go correctly into a deep sleep (even after my pill i take)?? it’s not like the same feeling as a nap either…like i’ll close my eyes, but i know i’m still awake in a way, but when i check the clock, time went by a lot, but it only felt like a few minutes. i don’t fully go into a deep sleep until my body kinda “crashes”

Sometimes I do stuff to you guys while you're sleeping.

😥

had a dream about this thing

I dreamt about a game where testament was the main playable character. It seemed story driven like in an overture-esque way. I briefly lived in a better world

Pleasant reminder that This Photo.

the eternal struggle of reading webcomics/manga/manh(w/u)a that i think are really good but have cringe ass titles so i can't recommend them without someone doubting my sensibilities and taste in stories

In this post is mainly about sleep and i thought it implied that dexter gets nightmares.

So does dexter have nightmares? If so how does he deal with them?

Yeah! Fun fact about Dex, he has narcolepsy, which involves too much REM sleep (the part of sleep where you are dreaming), as well as frequent hypnogogic hallucinations and sleep paralysis. This doesn’t necessarily mean nightmares or scary stuff, but for Dexter is usually does. That’s also part of how Raz would enter his mind the first time, Dex has such an overactive mind while he’s sleeping, that Raz would accidentally drift into his mind while their both asleep. This also manifests as a lot of Literal nightmare entities in his mind.

As for dealing with them, for a long time he doesn’t. He’ll wake up from a particularly bad dream and not go back to sleep out of fear or protest or whatever. Or not want to lie down again if it’s sleep paralysis or hypnogogic hallucinations. Not super frequently, but sometimes if it’s really bad or he gets overly paranoid he’ll wake Batty up, or sometimes even less he’ll get Wanda (or Ant). Most times Dex kinda just survives off of the principle if he wakes himself up enough and THEN go back to bed, he’ll dream about something different, which usually works.

I like the idea that there are some sleep hypnosis psychics or something that could combat the overactive REM sleep, THEN Dex could get a nice night’s sleep with less nightmares, but he doesn’t know anyone who can do that jfhjrgj. Cheri definitely could, but they’re never rlly close enough for that to happen, HOWEVER Raz IS her student so……

Got stuck in deep sleep and couldnt do anything but feel heavy n keep dreaming because i set up my bed to have pretend cuddles

im tired of sleeping 12 hours a day im tired of needing to take naps im tired of feeling exhausted no matter what i do i just want to be awake

My last bout of sleep paralysis (which was when I was recently hospitalized for nine days and getting no sleep because literally almost every half hour someone was waking me up for vitals or a blood drawl or to give me medicine or to prod my stomach or the attending bringing in the interns because I'm a great case study or because my infusion pump wanted to make obnoxious noises for no reason) was so horrific that when I told my therapist about it yesterday she visibly paled and freaked out on my behalf. Is that a good sign?

ooo the fever dreams are back. also whys this "sleep paralysis" demon very mommy like i couldn't move but when a hot lady in a dark cloak, smiling demonically raspily asks for my hand i try pathetically to give it to her (hoping she just left out the words 'in marriage')

getting closer to the mentally ill part of having a migraine <3

ms girl, go to sleep. im worried for your health

anon baby i haven't had a good night's sleep in years

it's pretty annoying that I can accidentally fall asleep on the couch for 5 hours and feel pretty okay in terms of energy, while when I go to bed and sleep for like 10-12 hours I'm still tired (some of that is because of the antidepressant I take to sleep, and it's getting better now that I've reduced my dose. and the energy I have now won't last the whole day so I'll definitely need a nap later. but still, it feels so unfair!)

Had the weirdest dream and woke up instantly 😭

I was a performer at Disney but don’t remember where exactly were performing but it was a huge theater. Alice (Alice in wonderland), Jesse (Toy Story), the wicked queen (snow white), etc were all there to perform and tbh i have no idea who i was in that context.

All i remember was that I had special abilities or a special suit and it allowed me to fly. So for whatever reason, i think it was to impress a kid or something, i took off and flew straight up into space but i kept going and could stop and was heading straight for the sun!

Literally could feel my mouth moving as dream me kept say “wake up! You gotta wake up! Come on wake up now!” and before I got any closer, I woke up 🫣
