Have you ever acted "Out of character"?

the Stuff Dreams are made of...

I’ve had plenty of dreams where the things I’ve done haven’t made much sense. That’s just how dreaming goes sometimes. But last night I had a dream that was completely different. In the dream I was actively seeking death, finding a way to commit suicide. The intent was so strong that it is all I remember from the dream.

When I woke up the feeling persisted for a little while. It was really bizarre. Of course I would never do such a thing so I consider it “Out of character” for myself. Thinking about it I’m more curious that anything else, I have no idea what would cause me to think in such a way other than I was asleep and not thinking straight. It stands out for me though because in nearly all of my dreams I have little or no intent and just go with the flow, never questioning anything.

So what I’m asking is, has anyone else had a dream where they acted strongly out of character and has anyone else woken up and had elements of a dream persist like that.

I have had a few dreams where I acted out of character for me.They bug me and my day feels off when it happens.

I always act very unlike myself in dreams, but many times I don’t catch it because I also do things that are very much me. Sometimes I pick up on it and become lucid. For example, it was Christmas in a dream, and all my family was over, and I hadn’t gotten any of them presents! That’s something I would never do IRL so I became lucid. Try to remember to RC whenever you don’t act like yourself, although this is easier said then done :tongue:
