I always have vivid dreams and the nights that I don't remember my dreams are quite rare now. Which is why I also started recording my sleep data (heart rate, breathing, deep sleep etc) and it's always interesting to see how much my heart rate drop or suddenly spike and whenever I have some dreams that are emotional, I always check the data upon waking up (I wake up 5x per night) to find them spiking lol.
Anyway, in those dreams are also probably 2-3x a month that I get conscious that I'm dreaming (lucid dreaming) so I end up controlling basically everything. Sometimes I interact with the characters cos it's interesting to talk to your own subconscious but sometimes I just run away exploring the area.
Those dream characters sometimes do something to harm me - like this one time I told one of them "We're in a dream!" and one was like "No, this is the reality. You're not dreaming" as if telling me I shouldn't wake up. One of those dreams were the one earlier.
The dream
So I was dreaming that I went to my aunt's house and started sweeping the floor. In my mind I knew it was given to her by her gf who recently passed away so I knew it was precious but I still used it and for some reason one of my cousins didn't even stop me lol.
I swept the edge of the wall trying to get rid of the cobwebs until the bristles were cut off. It cut off like 75% of the broom and I was like "uh oh".
My aunt then came to the room and saw me holding the rekt broom. She then said in a mad but firm voice "Find a way to fix it."
And here I am like "HOW??? :(" - Then I looked at the bristles on the floor and I'm supposed to connect EACH ONE OF THEM back to the bristles that are still attached to the broom. There's like thousands of them so it's like trying to connect someone's hair one by one to their head.
I felt so bad and nervous cos how the fuck you supposed to do it lol then my older cousin came up to me and said he will help me.
We then went to the other room to look for a glue we could use when all of a sudden I thought to myself "I wish this was just a dream and I'd wake up".
Then I was like "wait a minute..." and became aware that I'm dreaming.
Of course I already felt bad and wanted to get out of that situation cos who wants to do all those mad work??? 😂 So I thought of waking up.
But of course I was in a dream and I usually find it hard to wake up from so I went outside and all of the dream characters realized I was conscious and started coming for me.
I turned to them and they're supposed to harm me like choke me or whatever and saw them running towards me and luckily I knew how to defend myself so I thought of some white light around me and some powers and I was able to repel and put them down one by one.
I know this already sounds like some scene in Twilight or something lol but I can't wake up so I had to put my fight instincts to work. I was able to fight them and in a few minutes I finally woke up.
I was really relieved not because it was scary but because I didn't wanna do all those work and the trouble that I have caused unintentionally. It's like being forced in the school to do paperworks or else you fail bad. It's just nasty feeling.
Why tho
But yeah, dream characters always attack me for no reason especially when I become conscious and sometimes even deceive me so I don't have to wake up from sleeping.
Our minds are really interesting that they have their own world out there but it's just our subconscious creating all of them. Say even if you talk to one of them, it's literally just you talking to yourself but the version of you who has all the memories and feelings you've had in the past - something the conscious part of you have already forgotten.
I've read in one of comments in Reddit that you can even ask them for some necessary information that you need but forgot which is pretty interesting lol.
Why they harm me? I don't know. Most of my dreams are me being chased so I don't know really. Probably the depressed side and most of them people there are nasty haha but I do find some nice ones tho.
Anyway, I got some other weird dreams too but haven't been able to document them.
