Mirage 24,747 March 30 Share March 30 (edited) Greetings travelers! A place to decompress from dreams, strange experiences and head cannons. Princess Luna moderates this, so, be impressive. And whatever you do, don't be superficial! Uhh, I guess I'll start. Last year, within a span of a couple of weeks, I'd get that urge to check the time and it was almost always 4:44. It happened every day. One time it was 4:44am when I couldn't sleep and checked time. Then it stopped. Am I 4:44 recovered now? I don't know. I never made any sense of it. I checked the time when I started posting this, and it was 4:04. I sure hope this hasn't started again!

SharpWit 2,610 March 31 Share March 31 @MirageYour situation reminds me of a few things. Spoiler I used to do something similar, I think it stopped after I stayed up several hours later than usual. I've heard back in pioneering days and before, that people would often wake up for a few hours each night and it was considered normal. Just part of our natural cycle before modern amenities. A friend of mine has a cat that wakes them up every morning at about 4:30 for a snack. They used to have to get up for work around that time, but even when heir schedules changed he'd still wake them because he was hungry. My girlfriend and I always thought it was funny, because he doesn't do that to us when we house sit for them. Thay cat is 24 years old now, and lately there's been nights when he hasn't gotten them up. He's in good health, especially for his age, but now they fear the worst when he does anything different. So about half the time now they're waking up worried for him, which then wakes him up, and he starts meowing for a snack. They've accidentally trained themselves, even though they'd prefer to keep sleeping. Last night I had many strange dreams. The one that sticks out the most to me, was about being a police officer investigating this set of elevators. A few people had gone missing in them, and it was because they were passing through parts of the floor that otherwise looked normal, and falling down the shaft. Stranger still, was these elevators had doors on either side. When they opened, I could see police officers on the other side who were also investigating, but they couldn't see me. And the other elevator was the reverse. We could talk just fine but it made cooperstion very difficult. To add to the confusion, they seemed to be police from the 80s. I woke up before we could really get anywhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirage 24,747 April 1 Author Share April 1 Tis a very liminal dream! My imagination went wild on that. I saw reflections, like the floors and elevators were shiny and reflective. I've never had a pet that was so periodic, but I've heard that some are. I wake up without an alarm clock, usually around 5am. It just seems right. But sometimes I get up around 6am. And sometimes 3am...when I'm stressed! “Remember that when you leave this earth, you can take with you nothing you have received--only what you have given.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totally Nyx 35,972 June 27 Share June 27 Does this count? I almost always wake up within 30 seconds to a minute before my alarm goes off. It doesn't matter when I set it for, whether it's 6am on a work day, 9am on the weekend, noon on a very lazy Saturday, or whenever else. I've even woken up before, not looked at the time, and started counting down from 10. As I hit 0, the alarm went off. This usually doesn't happen when taking a nap in the middle of the day though, just when I get up in the morning. 1 Signature made by @Sparklefan1234 (Thank you!) Want to know something?

Mirage 24,747 June 28 Author Share June 28 Yes that counts. I stumbled across the picture. Stuff like this makes me feel like I'm in a 'different place'. It's hard to describe. 1 1 “Remember that when you leave this earth, you can take with you nothing you have received--only what you have given.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jade Fire 7,059 June 29 Share June 29 i love dreams like this and liminal space stuff in general ^-^ *blushes* i had one the other night and its always just before i wake up, normally waking up in my room but as i explore my house, its still my house but different, the halls long getting more and more twisted and corrupt as i go on, often times opening up to places up my past though just as corrupt and off. theres often an overwhelming scene of dread hanging over me as i go farther getting stronger before i eventually wake up but i would never call it a nightmare and i always find the dream interesting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirage 24,747 June 29 Author Share June 29 Yes! I have experiences like that too @Jade Fire! I still remember dreams I had as a small child that were like this. Being in a familiar place and it floods, or it changes in creepy ways. One of my favorites (if you can call it that?) is being in an old rusty shed and it starts tumbling around. Eventually, I fall out and watch the shed continue tumbling down the street. What's really strange is the shed was from a neighbor's yard. I'd never seen inside of it before. And guess what happened years later...it blew over in a storm for real! I wasn't inside it though! “Remember that when you leave this earth, you can take with you nothing you have received--only what you have given.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jade Fire 7,059 June 30 Share June 30 thats still very eerie *blushes* ive always wondered why these dreams are always so eerie. is it like youre diving into parts of your mind that youre not meant too? or brain just working with corrupt data that its in the process of sorting or something else? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirage 24,747 June 30 Author Share June 30 Sorting is a good description. The most popular theory is our brain picks and chooses 'relevant' memories and perceptions, because it's too confusing for our rational mind to remember every detail of every day. So our brains compress experiences, and even discard 'irrelevant' details. Dreams are apparently part of that process. But like so many things we think we understand, dreams are not a solved puzzle. There's so much more to dreaming than simply compressing details. And I'm okay with that. 1 1 “Remember that when you leave this earth, you can take with you nothing you have received--only what you have given.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usual Crypty 4,696 July 1 Share July 1 (edited) Maybe you're secretly medium, @Tao Congrats I have a creepy story too. Once I found a black magic book in library of my grandpa. Now it's about a hundred years old. I knew it because it was in pre revolutionary Russian, it means issued before 1917.

I have definitely heard unexplainable noises, and not just knocks or shuffles, but clear and loud footsteps upstairs in my house when I was alone. It's terrifying. 1 “Remember that when you leave this earth, you can take with you nothing you have received--only what you have given.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mirage 24,747 July 2 Author Share July 2 Well I know some people are tragically traumatized by paranormal experiences. So ghost stories can be exciting, but sometimes they can be very hard on those who have been hurt by them.

Take your time @Jade Fire *hugs* *hugs back* thank you it was a rather scary time of my life and we didnt fully understand what was going on till we left the house after 3 years. even when there wasnt something happening or anything, there was a constant feeling of fear, haterd and oppression in the house, a constant pressure that never let up like something hated you and wanted to hurt you in the worst ways possible but didnt have the means too. *blushes* though it could and most nights did attack you in your dreams 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirage 24,747 July 3 Author Share July 3 That's terrifying! I've been in houses that felt like that. Like you're being watched, and that heavy air...charged with aggression. Never lived in one like that though. “Remember that when you leave this earth, you can take with you nothing you have received--only what you have given.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misty Shadow 7,821 July 3 Share July 3 I lived in a haunted house that was said to be built on an Indian burial ground when I was little. I once saw a shadow person standing in the kitchen early in the morning, a sight that frightened me and had me running straight back to my room. What made the experience even more eerie is that when I got older, my mother told me that she saw the exact same shadow person in the exact same place. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirage 24,747 July 4 Author Share July 4 I'm convinced there's something going on with hauntings, but I have never actually seen a ghost. @PerlsteinProps Do you recall what kinds of noises? *Shudder* “Remember that when you leave this earth, you can take with you nothing you have received--only what you have given.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
