On rare occasion I’ve taken control of nightmares in a Lucid dream state - typically waiking up momentarily and then going back to sleep.

I’m just not sure if the psychic cost of having these types of intense dreams encoded in memory is healthier than just sleeping and not remembering.

A bit plagued by my dreams ( thereby my subconscious ) if I can remember them.

That was the question I guess, I hear the idea I should engage more to remember dreams, but not sure if that is healthy for people to do who have vivid and disturbing dreams regularly (eg. Under attack, people I love getting hurt ect…)

As with the above posters, any idea if regularly dream journaling (and potentially lucid dreaming) is actually healthy or not?

I say this as someone who gets pretty bad nightmares and has had numerous lucid dreams (even transitioning from nightmare to lucid dream)

I have no idea if further engaging with my dream state is healthy or not?

As someone who worked night shifts for a little - it’s really not healthy.

There are studies showing that type of disruption to your circadian rhythm can take like more than a decade off your life. After doing it for a while I felt it impacting my well being, not being really awake, hitting the bed and falling asleep immediately but not deeply, super high base load of stress and heart pain.

FWIW , I’m talking working 11-4/6am type night shifts, not the late night retail/bar shifts which are tough in their own right

The part where you said you voted in multiple elections. I added it to my original post because you missed the thread

I’m quoting you here:

“As a European that lived in America briefly (ten years) I was very shocked when I encountered the gun culture there.”

“I voted for Bernie in the 'primary, I voted for Biden and I'm voting for Kamala. Trump is a piece of shit insurrectionist that should not be on the ballot.“

How are these two things possible without you being a liar?

A bunch of anecdotes and questions. No answers, historical context on change from defined benefit programs to 401ks under Raegan/Clinton, and no policy prescriptions.

Or hey, how about calling out the growth labor productivity and corresponding lack of growth in real income, if you want the even slightly radical in your take on the concentration of power in capital… but no

Useless fear-mongering article- not wrong though

Why is everyone afraid of college students protesting? I mean this police state response goes back to before Kent State and Tianemen square no doubt.

Well if it’s frightening- keep it up! There must be some form of agency there

While we’re engaging with your fantasies… I might suggest the US supports Ukraine all the way up to Moscow’s front door.

Prigozhin proved all you have to do is drive up the highway.

Russia is a paper tiger, and it benefits the west to arm Ukraine as long as they will fight the occupier and expose them. From a political realist perspective this is true even if Ukraine looses.

Your arguments are false and I suspect you are a troll. Slava Ukraine.

When the consequence is world ending, that’s an okay reaction.

People just don’t understand basic probability payouts

Hey fellow traveler. Do make a post on Lemmy or share via a message. I would love to read what you wrote.

OOOooh punish me sky daddy

Millennials have done a great job raising Generation A and the Zoomers… the kids today by and large are way more aware and woke
