Your subconscious usually cannot tell you that you are oversleeping.Rushy wrote: ↑Fri Nov 08, 2019 9:55 pmI had one of those falling ones, freaked me out a bit.

A recurring one is all kinds of weird insects and larvae everywhere but that's just when I oversleep and my subconscious wants me to wake up. That's more annoying than anything else.
You ever had those where you fall from a great height of some sort and wake up when you hit the ground? I haven't had one like that in years but those are rad as fuck! Actual free fall feeling and adrenaline and everything. I'd love to have one of those again.
The one nightmare I do remember was one where for some reason, I couldn't stop chomping and gnashing my teeth together, to the point where whole rows of them just cracked out and I kept chewing until my mouth was bloody, bony mush.
I can tell from the intensity of my dreams that I am stressed. Dreams of losing teeth, dreams of being chased and killed or dreams of being chased and possibly caught. When I get these I know I should look at what tasks are outstanding and which I am afraid of failing and just getting my house in order. And sometimes I just have weird dreams because I am drunk.
But yeah, nothing that you cannot reduce back to real life issues that are bothering you more than you might want to address.
