I don't know if there is correlation between bad dreams and masturbation.
But definetly there is a corelation between dreams and masturbation.
Especially erotic dreams.

When you wake up with a boner what other is it than a correlation between dream and masturbation.

 

This might be a bit tangential, but in an odd way it fits weirdly into this samsome-initiated house of mirrors festival .

Does anybody remember this? When I was a kid this was really pushing the envelope. There was also a My Penis where a teenage girl transforms overnight and wakes up as a guy which is equally freaky, an equally bad dream. I miss National Lampoon.

that's fuckin hilarious! i have a friend who lives in germany and he's called flo... i'm wondering if this is his biography and if it was the basis for his project phosgore

 

I wonder how this thread popped up again.
I thought we had a firm grasp on the issue.

 

on the subject of the issue, not on the issue itself

 

This answer would be weird when I will post it when thread was created in 2021.
I would definitely be sent to a psychiatric hospital or accused of being paranoid for posting it in 2021.
Some people even doing it now when I talking about it
But it is new normal I guess

Only if you try to get lucid dreams.

 

Oh. Lucid Dreams! Dude!
This is great shit! But they are hard to achieve and rare.
There is many techniques to achieve them like WILD, MILD, Reality Check through the day and many others.
But I tried so many techniques and I just had few lucid dreams in the last 10 years.
Blessed the ones who can have them often. You can make fun with Britney Spears in the airplane and no one even knows
(except your mom which will take the linen to wash).

 

i had a lucid dream once, was dreaming about some ikea thing i bought and realized it was completely different from what i actually bought and came to the conclusion that i must've been dreaming and got control over my dream. and that's when i decided to have a reverse gangbang and as soon as the chicks entered my dream i forgot it was a dream and couldnt remember anything beyond that point when i woke up, to much distraction probably.

I got addicted and had to stop. It evolved into astral projection. And then, weeks later, I realized I could go into outer space. No buenos, man.

Closely connected! as much as I believe that drinking babies blood will lead me to eternal youth!

Contrary to popular belief you can make epinephrine synthetically by the ton - no babies or bodies at all needed, you can make other stuff from the precursors norepinephrine and ephedrine (makes trailer parks blow up quite often) too so outside of a lab environment they aren't as easy to get as they used to be.

Do you really think that every EpiPen that out there in the wild for overdoses and allergic reactions was milked out of some poor creature screaming in agony
.

I'm still jealous of all you guys/gals/its that dream all the time, regardless of how much meat you have to beat or tickle for effect.

 

It was a joke. We should all dream, tho

 

I was going to put most of this in a spoiler to save space, but then i scanned it &thought maybe it should all be spoiler.
But anyway...

I think a lack of dreams (lack of remembering, it seems) might be due to the mind not needing to figure out how to feel about much and/or not wanting to have to deal with figuring out how to feel about some things.
I spent around 15 years without almost any dreams. I was in a very stable situation with low stresses for sure... but even even after moving out of state into a shaky situation, it was not until events with a certain type of emotional significance occurred that i began to dream again.
And hopefully without triggering cringe, I will say that I did not begin to dream again until I began to have something to dream ABOUT.
Of course most dreams are not about something "dreamy" but about troubling things.

I tend towards introversion and put a lot of how I felt about others into a basket of "too complicated / too troubling", and really stopped trying to figure that stuff out. In my work as a repair tech, I engaged with many new people every day but in limited and prescribed ways... No need to know how to feel about "them" (default position of respect and empathy unless something intervened), and the situations were very straightforward. Yes, I often encountered upset people, people who could not afford repairs, "Karens", etc but never had much problem due to my role. No actual "personal" conflict...
It seems most everything in my life then didn't need to be evaluated...
Was it a settled life or was that just arrogant? ...perhaps foolish? Was I so arrogant to think i had judged everything I needed to?
I had all the answers? Well, not really. I thought I was too humble to judge all that stuff... and it was all too hard to judge anyway!
But my brain did not care what i thought, as i would find out later, in mid-life when my brain said I didn't know anything, and I HAD judged .. and I had judged WRONG!
And THEN i began to recall dreams again, and to recall a LOT.

Dreaming seems to be mostly about organizing and packing things away, but...we have to know where those things should GO.
To do that we must figure out not what those things are, but what they mean to us.
We must know how to FEEL about them.
Because only how we FEEL tells us what to DO about them.
Yes the intellect can help, but the imagination will build scenarios to test significant and recent events to see how the emotions react.
In some ways the brain is stupid because it makes crazy stories, but it is not so stupid..
Because, even when we laugh off a stupid dream, or forget it when we swore we COULD never forget it, the brain has tested us while we dreamed it.

Is it strange that the brain can make up stories that shock and surprise the dreamer?
No, the brain thinks our intellect is a sketchy thing and not to be trusted with important things like how we should feel and react to things, and it will grab anything that it thinks might be useful. In one way it is like a drill instructor, yelling at us and making us react, so that we don't have to think it all through again. But it is based on a system that doesn't let the intellect participate much, and kind of makes the intellect its slave, and often abuses it and laughs. The brain doesn't care. It just wants to make sure we act quickly when something happens, because the systems are evolved from times when waiting around to find out often meant death.

Our systems are evolved around emotions first (and is most powerfully integrated), and imagination second as the child of predictive processes that complex life evolved, (to enable accurate movement, and to escape dangers, and to seek and hunt, social behaviors, short-term, weather, migrations, and eventually... intellect, which seems to work with memory to allow complex understanding and predictions...
While the intellect is powerful in some respects, the emotional systems are the most powerful.
The intellect can help us understand and better control things, but is also in beta.

So , the brain doesn't care much when it creates dreams and the intellect says "WTF ... this is crazy"..."How come no one else sees how crazy this is?!" "Why can't I RUN?!"
The brain wants to know how to you should feel if it happens... or because it DID happen.

So I would say, a life without dreaming might indicate a person is avoiding having to figure out how to feel about new stuff, but if someone is mature and has a pretty integrated personality, they still might not dream much. After being in the military for just a short stint, I was fairly settled about being tossed around and had accepted potential of death pretty well, but of course the military can be the ultimate "mommy" too. I could easily go anywhere and do almost anything with no possessions and never have a nightmare...
But when i met a girl I really liked, and it was nightmares for months... (I'm kidding there but only about how long).

Anyway, it can be a blessing to be "dream-free" , but even nightmares can be a good thing if you realize "why"...
Trying to understand one's own dreams can seem futile, and ideas about symbolism can be misleading, but the brain does seem to use shortcuts and symbolism. But dream interpretation is impossible except for the dreamer. Someone who knows you and listens a lot can surely prompt you to realize things, but only the dreamer can say "OMG that's IT..."

 

You probably are onto something there.

I would even wager that your nightmares, the few ones you have are probably more about being tricked and you chasing baddies and that fear of failure to catch them or not being able to fix it than you being chased and running away.

Still, it would be nice.

 

I used to think lightside was the only way. I realized the balance. Anakin did this. Our dreams are formed by our subconcious.

Shadow work is key. We all present the best of ourselves to the world and hide away what we deem shameful or "bad".
We repress this shit into our subconcious and it comes out, projected wildly in our concious states without us realizing. Accepting that this is a part of you and embracing it gives you the power over the thing that you thought had power over you.
