K, I have a friend who says he wants to have upsetting dreams, so he can wake up and realize they're not real. Should I be worried? Has anyone in the org ever felt like that? Discuss...

that mf crazy

Maybe he's having a hard time & wants his dreams to be worse than his reality?? I dunno, never felt like that

i've been having sleeping issues lately but my therapist says it's cause i'm trying to avoid distrubing dreams

i seriously dont know why anyone would want to have disturbing dreams

some of mine wake me up crying

i had my first nightmare in years last night. i wasn't too scared though there was someone trying to kill me!

i wouldn't wish for bad dreams though.

that was my first thought too

I dream a lot of things that make no sesne, and I wake up like "oookay" but I never go to sleep like oh yeah I wanna have a crazy ass dream'again no. It's kinda strange. Dreams can be triggered by so many things.

I once had a dream I had moon pants like Jimmy Page, I ate cheese before bed that night. Many MANY times I've tried to recreate the moment but to no avail

lmao!

Joining in the thread jack

last night i dreamt that i was on the Falkland Islands (off the coast of Argentina !??!) and the Island was sort of tilted at an angle which made it awkward to walk around on

then i noticed a big river was bisecting the island, then i was in a room sparsely furnished with a married couple i had never met but still on the Falkland Islands

Now if anyone can interpret that i will be impressed

Damn you must be clairvoyant

Sorry you Aussies got dumped out of the twenty 20 cricket yesterday

Bring on the Ashes (that is a cricket tournament between England and Australia in case you didnt know)

bad dreams suck.

Last night I dreamt a badger or big fat otter was trying to kill me

I was very happy when I woke up.

Pretty insightful.

Aside from what Calhoun said, I can make no sense of your friend's wish. Bad dreams are AWFUL!!! They're like nature's way of waterboarding us.

I couldn't care less, I'm swedish they sent me a letter to enrol to vote yesterday, which I have to return to let them know that actually they won't LET me vote since I'm not even a citizen

I'm sorry but your friend is in dire of reality. All this week I have woken up with head aches, and or in tears. I hate upsetting dreams they tend to bring out how the day is going to be.

my friend says the reason to wish for such dreams is so he can wake up and realize that his life is not as bad as that (and moreso, because he doesn't want to have good dreams because they end and then his life.) In his defense, he's struggling like so many others, and I didn't want to "take away his last bone." He's been listening to "I Dreamed A Dream" from Les Mis... I, however, want to tell him to do the old bedtime trick of forecasting dreams before going to sleep.

I've never felt this way, but one way he can acheive his goal is to put nicotine patches on( atleast a 14mg one) before he goes to sleep. They are well known for giving people exremely vivid dreams and I can personally vouch for that. The patches did this to me when I tried to quit smoking.

Sounds like your friend needs a cuddly ray of sunshine!

Or, it sounds like they've never had a dream that truly left them shaken and restless.
