Proof that humans can get used to pretty much anything

You can train yourself to remember dreams if you start writing down everything you remember.

You can also learn to recognize that you are in a dream and take control (look up lucid dreaming).

HUMAN BEINGS MAKE LIFE SO INTERESTING. DO YOU KNOW, THAT IN A UNIVERSE SO FULL OF WONDERS, THEY HAVE MANAGED TO INVENT BOREDOM.

Sex is weird too. You undress and make your self vulnerable and expend a lot of energy and risk catching a disease and then fall asleep. Either we do it for fun or to create a parasite that we have to take are of.

check out the film "Dark City"

Every time I lucid dream, I end up waking myself up with something stupid like tripping as I step off a curb.

Human memories are stored in flesh

Flesh has to be replaced constantly

When you sleep your memories are being copied and reallocated to new flesh, the things you experience in dreams are just a series of incredibly losely related themes and concepts. In general human memory searching relies on association of concepts rather than any sorted lists or some other silly inorganic solution.

Almost everyone does it almost every day, it would be more strange if everyone was freaking out about it.

If I don't smokadaweed before bed I do tend to remember them. One of the reasons I try not to smoke late in the evening.

The natural selection implications for dream amnesia are wild.

I used to be able to remember my dreams, or at the very least I would wake up with a sensation that I had had a dream, but anymore though I just feel like a blank slate, like nothing happened. If I dream anymore I’m completely losing them because I don’t even have the feeling that I’m forgetting anything, it’s just blank when I sleep now.

8 hours sounds nice. I usually manage about 4 or 5

havent had 8 hours of "lucid coma" since before most of you were born

Capital won't care about dreams until they can inject commercials, propaganda, etc.

Wait do y'all actually dream every day? For the full time of sleeping?

I only dream after I've already slept way more than enough for the day and even then it's like a less than 10% chance of having any dreams at all

We are, after all, merely brains in a (bone) jar. :-)

I always tell myself I'm going to be fully self-aware when I enter the dream tube, but sadly I never remember if that happened or not.

I have had only a few vivid, real feeling dreams that have stuck with me for years. Do I know what they mean, nope. Do I wish I had more of them... yes. Working on improving my sleep in the last year or so. I think my average sleep time actually got a few mins. shorter. Oops.

Don’t forget time dilution.

They who master the skill of controlled time dilation will quickly ascend to rule the universe.. or so i was told in a dream.

8 hours of sleep ! Wow I'd love that ! If I can get 6 hours it's a great night. Haven't been able to sleep 8 hours in years except for the rare weekends where I don't get woken up by the neighbors dogs or to work my second job.

And yet we think our waking life is more real.

Anyone who says this doesn't know what "coma" means. Or "lucid" for the matter

I mean sure we accept it, but we do put dreams to a high regard. Hence why you can say something is dreamy, or a dream come true.

Maybe we don’t know enough about dreams yet?

8 hours sleep? I wish... As I get older sleep become an elusive thing.

Look at the guy who sleeps 8 hours a night and also have dreams, I wish I would have that luxury

Yeah not all of us get the amnesia unfortunately.

We slip through the veil of reality, do we.

And you wonder why your dog is so fucked up lol

It helps having an idea of what causes the phenomenon, certainly. I get a lot calmer about basically everything when I know just what the hell is going on.

I don't dream and when I do they are usually mundane like going to work. Which makes me sleep in as I think I am already heading to work

Pretty neat huh?

What more proof do you need that materialism is bullshit?

Jokes on you, I dream maybe few times per year. And I remember times when I didn't dream about anything for years.
