LD and FA, mostly FA, I get them a lot, its all very well when Ive got nothing better to do. But they always happen when I’m under pressure or stress. And they happen in realtime, meaning I am often late for things, speshly becos I can hear my alarm but I cant wake up. They just keep going, uncountable times, by the time I wake up I really tired and misrable and late for something. Its like runnig into a brick wall over and over again. I know Im dreaming, or I figure it out pretty quick, I have been having them for about 5 years. Ever since I got gladular fever. It was terrible, I had no idea what was happening to me or why, I just kept reliving the same painful hell of trying to get to the toilet (I was very very sick, my bones ached so much that I often thought I was dying… but I couldnt wake up to tell anyone lol.). After that I dreamed more and I started Lucid dreaming a bit. I also started having that paralys thing, i didnt know what it was at the time, I just knew I was asleep and I wanted to wake up, I often woke up shouting or rolled into feotal, then I would be able to sleep. I welcome the chance to fly but I really hate FA, they are never pleasant for me (I have noticed in an old FA forum ppl actually wanting them, if I could I would give all my FA away), and they really stress me out. Has anyone heard of Fevers causing that sort of thing?
Well,fevers help with changing your sleep patterns and bringing more awareness to it (including the effect of lighter sleep), so I’d guess that’s not a coincidence at all. It’s a sad notion, but sickness helps people with living more in the moment and that’s a reason why it helps.
I actually was just sick and did indeed have an LD, and my wife the same, all of which were born from FA’s. In my case I was worried about calling in to work, and kept having FA about trying to call in and then realizing I was dreaming. The sad part is I can’t enjoy those dreams because A, I feel horrible and B, I actually need to perform said phone call.
@TosxyChor Thats I pretty good point, you are very much ‘in the moment’ wilst sick. I did a wee bit of research and have come to the conclution that I was very delerious, from the infection as much as the fever. So it did actually effect my brain, probly change a lot in there for good.
@Rhewin Yeah, I got that, once I actually though I did call them and found out I didnt and got in trouble. I dont often get sick, but if I do then I almost always have a fever and minor delerium and LD or FA.
Delerium is a lot like dreaming, you dont make any sense, you cant hold a proper conversation, maybe its like your brain is being rewired and you are actually awake dreaming. You percieve everything weirdly, the RC would be a lot harder to perform. Funnily enough Im getting a cold at the moment havnt had one for 5 or 6 months, so it should be pretty harsh.
one of m weirdest and sorta-aware dreams was a feverdream when i was young… it’ll do strange things to your perceptions.
