Not generally but I have been able to induce dreams that felt more "real" than reality by intentionally depriving myself of sleep and then having a lot of coffee before I finally go to sleep eve&oe it should have the opposite effect. I've done research into lucid dreams and all that shit but I've never been able to achieve one

for the last couple of days i've been having dreams when i usually never have any, although most i forget because im too lazy to write them down when i wake up. i had a dream that somebody i knew got a haircut a few days ago and then when i saw him again, i was surprised that he didn't have a new haircut. i also saw a video the other night, but i was unsure if i saw it in real life or in a dream. i wasn't sure for the whole day if it was in the dream or real life, but i think now that it happened in reality. most of my dreams are terribly boring and just involve realistic scenarios that usually have some element of anxiety or social miscommunication in them.

Go for it, if you have a normal sleep schedule and suddenly go 30 hours without sleeping your body basically has no choice but to shut down for longer than normal and the caffeine can't really counteract that, it can only make your senses more active while you're actually asleep which has some very odd effects

A lot of the time things or events show up in my dreams that seem normal until I wake up, sometimes that thought will even linger for a while and I'll google it only to see it doesn't exist.
Also, it's always been odd to me that most people have dreams about mundane scenarios, even with nightmares it's usually shit like "I went outside without pants on" or "I fell off a building". In most of my dreams I'm not even a human and live in a reality that doesn't resemble this one at all, but I don't freak out because I have this kind of innate knowledge that I'm "myself" and everything happening is just routine. I can just "inhabit" characters but I can never do it at will.

bumo because cool thread

Dreams don't seem very liminal to me, I see them as something more. They feel calming, and they show things that you couldn't imagine or feel. I think that's what makes them special, it's entirely new experiences derived from familiarity. I relate to wanting to live inside dreams, they're entirely new and different worlds and feelings real life can't capture.

I had nightmares I knew were nightmares and I couldn't wake up from that then went into sleep paralysis with hallucinations when I was going through withdrawal

reppy

>did you you ever want to be trapped inside a dream?
Not really in all my dreams i ruin my life then im happy when i wake up and realize it was a dream
