Definitely annoying if you like to journal that kind of stuff. I've thought about putting a notebook next to my bed

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

When I'm in that state, I don't remember old dreams, I create new ones that blend in with what's happening around me. Like I see that I'm talking to a frog, but the frog is saying everything on the TV that's still playing.
If the frog starts singing the Ozempic song, do you punch it across the room?
No. You lick those. Makes for some wild dreams!
There's an Ozempic song?!
I get that too right before I fall asleep! At least when I'm sleeping in public. My brain distorts and abstracts what's going on around me into a weird half dream. Then I fall asleep.
I don't get to read much anymore, but I used to be reading books at basically all times. Many times I've fallen asleep, book in hand, and continued reading a book that - it would turn out - had nothing to do with the book I was holding.
Sometimes, I wouldn't even have to turn the pages. Instead, I would just continue reading the other side of the page in front of me.
On occasion the story was much more interesting than the one the book actually presented.
Too bad you can't sleep write and publish that shit!
Last time on Your other life
I start having pleasant auditory hallucinations. I’m also very susceptible to delta waves like white noise putting me to sleep. Might go together. 🤷🏼♂️
Wait, you remember your dreams?
I do, for the first 5 minutes of being awake. But I come back to the same places over several nights, so those dreams must be stored in there somewhere (although I can't access those mempries while awake).
I thought it was when my eyes start drooping when I'm trying to get a couple of hours of gaming in before having to go to work the next morning
For me, it has been a decade of be tired, wake up later.
I've had maybe a dream a year which I actually remember, and they are always of being taunted and then myself attempting to save the taunter from doing something very foolish that will put them in great danger, and then they die gruesomely, and then I die horribly and jolt awake.
