When I was a kid, probably around 8 or 9 years old, I remember waking up in the middle of the night and seeing a huge light in my room in front of the window (keep in mind, it was nighttime, I could see the night sky behind it). It didn‘t move, just hovered there. It was huge too, almost touching the ceiling. I couldn’t make anything out, but I don’t remember being scared of it. Even now, I don’t remember the incident with fear. And as I watched it and it watched me, I realized that it had turned into morning and it disappeared. It wasn't a dream because there was no waking up afterwards part, I was already awake and my Mom was coming in to get me up so she could take me to my grandparents’ house before work. I remember being in shock over the whole thing until we got to the house and I told my mom what I’d seen. At that point, I was a bit scared because I couldn’t make sense of my experience and she calmed me down and I never saw anything like it again. I found out a few years later that she talked to my aunt about the situation and my aunt told her that my cousin and Grandpa had the exact same experience as me, down to the smallest details. And the one person that we all have in common was my Grandma who had passed a few years before this happened. I’m sure a lot of people wouldn’t believe me if I told them this because it is pretty unbelievable and I’d chalk it up to a dream or something if I hadn’t found out that others experienced the same as me. I’d like to think that it was my Grandma somehow but I can’t say for sure. That’s the comforting explanation anyway lol

@YSATUNEDIN I really believe so! like I said it was such a comfortable experience in the moment and my grandpa and cousin experiencing the same thing really solidifies it for me. my intuition with things like that is usually pretty strong, even when I was a kid, and I feel like I would have felt scared if it was something bad

@CAPYBOPPY right?? it's something that I find comfort in because I know it wasn't something evil but the strangeness of it all is still unsettling to me

My dreams are always so weird. When I was younger I was scared of falling asleep because I had constant nightmares, but when I got older my dreams just got... real? So many things that I dreamt came true. Though rarely heavy, it's just a whatever situation. Once I dreamt that a partner I had at the time would break up with me via my best friend, and a week later exactly that happened. Some of the more heavier dreams i had were close peoples death that I dreamt, and later those people actually died. A story I can share is the dream I had about my childhood cat. He was already very old and sick, I knew he didn't have that much time to live. We were in the midst of moving and my parents decided to give him to my grandfather, so he could live more in peace there. I dreamt us having a great time together but he wasn't himself. Then I saw him cross a bridge and he had a faint halo over his head. That morning when I woke up my mother told me that he had passed. But I'm not the only one in my circle with weird dreams and stuff. A friend of mine told me that she always dreams a family member or close friend having a baby before they actually announced it. Like, predicting their pregnancy. Even though this could be just a coincidence, it's scary shit.

I dont usually remember dreams but about a month ago when I was first going back 2 sleeping in my vehicle or in a hammock camping, every night I would have a vivid dream of the location id fallen asleep at, where some stranger would come find me (just a fear of mine manifesting). But!!!! There was this one where I was sleepin in my hammock on the side of a lake, and the person showed up n brought me this like, box thing (inside the box wasnt important, just trash), but it was made out of leathery flesh, and when they gave it to me I realized it had been mine before, because the flesh had tattoos I had done on it, ooooooooooo... Pretty weird, anyways as a little kid whenever I got sick I would have reoccurring nightmares where I was #planking suspended on a single long-ass needle pricking one of my vertebrae, surrounded by a white empty void. it would happen as sleep paralysis sometimes where I would b lying down awake but couldn't move cause I was stuck on da needle. Idk I blame autism

i taught myself to lucid dream pretty young (~8) and subsequently took advantage. lucid dreaming is kind of like focusing, like you know the feeling you get when you just get to work after you’ve commuted when you’re finally conscious again after you zoned out in your commute, that’s kinda the feeling when you start lucid dreaming. anyway, so i was in this dream when i was probably 15 and it was a chipmunk war of some sort except i was a chipmunk (the details aren’t really important) but i was like ok time to start having agency but my body wouldn’t let me. like i literally could not force my body to do something. it was the most surreal experience bc i could think and i knew i was in a dream but i literally could not control my body and i couldn’t wake up and when i finally did i almost started crying it was so fucking insane and odd. it hasn’t happened since and i can’t really find anyone else who has had a similar experience online. anyway something devious happens that night.

I was bullied a lot for my eye color as a kid (because me having very dark brown hair and very dark brown eyes made me look "evil", apparently) and, naturally, began to dislike them. but as I've gotten out of school and away from people who put me down, I've realized how insane it is to bully someone over their eye and hair color and grown to love the color of my eyes. I mean, they may be dark but there's nothing wrong with that. and I can take pretty pictures of my eyes too, I just have to blind myself and almost stare into the sun to do so lol

recently, when I wake up in the morning and have time to kill, I've been spending a bit of time reading before or after I get myself ready to go about the day instead of sitting on my phone when I first wake up. I feel like it helps clear my mind for the day and it feels nice to not immediately scroll when I wake up like I used to
