You’ll know you’re in trouble if you’re arguing and he stares blankly and starts jabbing his finger at the air.
Imagine doing this but then having to stare at the main menu for 8 hours lmao
I usually quit by dying.
I started lucid dreaming when I was about 8 years old. This was before google, and when I asked my parents about it, they had no idea what I was talking about. So I didn’t know what exactly was happening, but I did know it was super gay to be conscious while sleeping, so I spent a few weeks figuring out how to forget I was dreaming. I eventually succeeded, but ever since I’ve had the ability to think “Oh, this is a nightmare, I need to wake up.” and open my eyes, wide awake.
For some reason, almost all my dreams are lucid, which means I know I’m in a dream. They’re stupid, nonsensical, and usually have people I knew, but have not seen, or thought about in a long time. Occasionally I have a vivid one, which means it seems real. You all know this, just stating it for those who may not know what that means.
Most of my vivid dreams are me trying to find something, or someone in some urban environment, with a sense of urgency. Just me searching for something, someone, or trying to get to some undefined place. Sometimes there are other people, sometimes not, but they never end up helping in my search.
In one of the most vivid memorable ones, it was night, and I was outside of a motel, looking into one of the rooms that had glass walls facing outside. The lights in the room were off, but there were blue, purple, and pink neon business advertisement marquee lights behind me, faintly illuminating the room. I could see living room style furniture, a bar, stools, etc.
I walked around to the side of the building, there was a 2 lane highway, that stretched straight ahead as far as I could see, with multiple hills. Along the both sides of the highway, there were buildings, that were illuminated with typical white highway lights, but the dominant light was blue, purple, and pink neon marquee signs. The entire night sky was illuminated with them.
That one is burned into my memory, it was so vivid, and real. It probably represents loneliness. I’m sure it does.
Feel free to TL;DR.

Now that is a real superpower.
I also manage to annoy TF out of my wife at being able to go from fully asleep to bouncing out of the bed like a piece of toast in under 10 seconds.
About the only thing that can impact this is severe sleep deficit, which - years ago - mean less than 3-4hrs in a night, but these days (in my sixth decade) means anything less than 5hrs of sleep in a night or less than 7 after multiple days of a sleep deficit.
For me its the menu from 1999 driver sound effects and all.
I had sleep paralysis three times in my 43 years. It feels like someone is in the room and you try to scream but nothing comes out. You just have to force yourself back to sleep.
Good that you can but the severity of this condition varies and some people are not able to do this.
My newest objective is to lessen to the background people and write as much of their conversations down as i can. As soon as I’m lucid I stop and start to lessen. Depending on where I am I turn and get as close as I can to people. I’ve yet to succeed but I got the idea from someone who said it’s one of the biggest trips.
Thank god my nightmares are not viewed in vim. I can’t Google how to quit it while I’m sleeping!
Vim, I wish I knew how to quit you! (/s obviously bc Vim is life)
:q
:q!
if it’s urgentMight have to hit escape first if you’re not in
visualnormal modeedit: I’m bad at remembering words
Escape puts you in normal mode, visual mode is v
It’s always urgent.
zz
if you can’t be bothered to hold shift.
Holding the power button on my PC until vim shuts down.
Awake me can remember. Goodnight me can’t 😵💫
:x
:o

ZQ
Would that mean your nightmare is all in ASCII?
Might be. Some unrecognizable, nightmarish UTF8 mixed in with the wrong encoding maybe?
That’s just Thursday
Vim is the nightmare.
Vim is the dream
Click escape, which gets you out of the current write mode.
Type :q!
The second I realise I’m dreaming I wake up.
I think it’s because the second I am some level of conscious the deep rooted anxiety starts again and jolts me up 🙂
Nothing scary than real life.
You should try flying instead.
Try spinning around in place in the dream! Sometimes it can help keep me dreaming cause I focus on my dream body and not my asleep body
At least you don’t go through a series of false awakenings when it happens. Those are generally not the most fun, since at best they ruin lucid dreams (it’s sort of a way for your mind to go back to sleep, and typically resets your awareness of being in a dream), and at worst it fucks with your sense of reality big time.
That’s why I don’t nap anymore… I lucid dream sometimes, but usually not with naps. Those are just hyper realistic emotion bombs with full physical sensation.
So one day I was having one of my awful nap dreams, and it was super negative, so I decided to wake up. So I did. And then I realized I was still sleeping, and tried again… Dozens and dozens of times, every trick I could think of. I could feel my actual body unable to move (thanks sleep paralysis!), and I kept cycling back to dreaming, starting the whole thing over again.
One day, he’s going to try to log out, and the logout button will be missing.
Then the only way he’ll be able to wake up is by beating all 100 floors of his dream. But if he dies in the dream, he dies in real life.

You can look for sword art anywhere. I guarantee the library has some books.
you can listen for a glopping noise
It will definitely happen if someone tells him that :)

Colon Q exclamation point? 6 keystrokes to leave? Sheesh.
If you wrote your dream to disk beforehand,

might be unnecessary.4 keystrokes!!
If we’re not counting the shift key, ZZ to quit is only 2!
I just learned a new way to Vim like I have never before. This is game changing info…
