... I hate getting shot in dreams. Bloody thing didn't even have the decency to let me wake up after the first time this time, either. Nooo, had to bleed me out twice. Really sucks. Really, really sucks.

Would put in rage thread, but it's less the infinite-hate-works type of hate and more the g'damn-that-was-horrible type of hate.

Well at least you have lucid dreams. In my everything has a blackness over it and I don't hear or feel anything. And I don't control it either kinda like a fully 3D and detailed movie which is cooler than a normal movie.

If it was fully lucid, he wouldn't have gotten shot.

[Frumple]

Pretty much that, yes. I occasionally get decent recall, but the only control I've ever managed is waking myself up from some particularly bad ones. Getting shot sucks and bleeding out is just terrible but it's usually too quick to jerk myself awake.

Actual lucid dreaming would be pretty neat, but so far attempts haven't worked out.

Actual lucid dreaming would be pretty neat.

Oh yes. It is really fun.

I wish I never read http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-1120 reminds me of the "noise" I see in the dark.

I'm scared :O no sleep tonight again.

I had a lucid dream once; when I wanted a lucid dream. I was flying in the air then The Flood started jumping out of buildings and killing everybody and I woke up

It is easy. Seriously, it just comes down to practise, and being very lucky with your timing.
On a lazy afternoon, lay on a comfy sofa, close your eyes, now imagine a landscape. Anything you like. I find it works better with something complex that you can add more and more detail to. Now start to build on it, adding area and details, until you quickly forget that you are meant to be awake.
Although like I said, you need to get lucky. Works best if you aren't waiting for it to work...

Quite so. I've found it's very hard to deliberately get the scary ones :|

Don't be. I've actually been halfway tempted to start up a visual snow thread to see how many other folks here have it/have experienced it.

It took my almost two decades to realize that it wasn't how most other people saw the world, heh. I'm semi-lucky as it didn't onset for me; seem to have been born with it. A lot less distracting when it's the only thing you know, yeah.

But yeah the dark was fucking terrifying for a long time. Giant multicolored amoeba-things larger than you floating around is not conducive to untroubled sleep. Eventually figured out they weren't going to eat me, though!

[Skyrunner]

Oh, that visual snow thing happens to me very weakly every once in a while.

[Drago55577]

The "visual snow" I see is sometimes red, green and blue to back to scp

[Skyrunner]

Personally, I've only seen black.

[Frumple]

Yeah, I've got it 24/7, 365 -- light, dark, eyes closed, eyes open, entire visual field, the whole works. I dream with it, heh. And yeah, multicolored (red/yellow/green/purple/blue, primarily); about the same color spectrum as what you see on a soap bubble or oil/gas puddle. Not strong enough to interfere with functioning, but it's occasionally distracting and has some interesting related effects (Staring at a single point for very long makes the world go funny ). Fortunately no apparent medical/neurological issues attached to it, though, which is better than some folks blessed(?) with the condition.

Biggest issue I've had with it is that it makes (traditional) meditation a borderline bitch. There is no true darkness and no stillness in my world, heh. Always light, always movement. It's very beautiful, though, for all that it's occasionally annoying.

There was a thread about visual snow and floaters on the Bethsoft forums once. Half the posts were either the Brits making toilet humour or the Americans not getting it.

[Bauglir]

Huh. News to me! I get something vaguely similar with my eyes closed if I apply pressure to them, but I think that's a different thing.
