@NotTelevision The weird thing about those is, while they're still embarrassing, most of the time other people in the dream don't seem to notice. Or they just ignore me. It really depends. XD

@HobbitGamer I've never played an Animal Crossing game, but the hype is making me curious. I'm sure it's a game I'd enjoy, but I have a love/hate relationship with similar games. If I do pick up the title, it'll be awhile.

My favorite nightmare moment is when you try to scream/shout in-dream, but for some reason your brain is redirecting the sound to your real-life mouth, but since you’re still sleeping you can’t actually do it there either. So you have your dream-you trying to scream/shout with no sound coming out, and your real-you just kinda whimpering sadly.

I enjoy the occasional dream where I’m running super fast and jumping crazy far, sometimes on all four appendages, like a really powerful wolf, and I can use my fingers and toes to grip into anything and just run right up the side of a mountain. I also occasionally dream that I’m trying to run away from something, but I’m basically in slow motion, or running in water, and can’t escape. It’s super frustrating.

It was a crazy week, sorry if I missed a reply.

@Tyranexx To be honest, I don't know if I'm having endless stair climbing dreams because I've heard of them and seen them in documentaries, or if I'm just having them without being influenced by that, but yeah, it's a thing for me. Mind you, not always. Mostly when I'm trying to run away in a dream. It's kind of like running on a conveyor belt in the opposite direction, only the stairs go faster than I can run, basically either making me run in place or slowly but surely move backwards. From reading @bimmy-lee's comment, I'd say that it isn't all that different from what he's sometimes experiencing.

As for real life pause and rewind buttons: don't get me started. WAY too many moments to choose from, ranging from "I wanna experience that again" to "I should have done this instead" and so on.

@Woomy_NNYes You've been TALKING to a girl? A real life girl? Oh, my...

Sorry, just couldn't resist.

As for Animal Crossing: both you and @Tyranexx may be surprised by how addictive it can get. The thing is that there is no point to the game, and simultaneously, that IS the point: it's almost like a relaxed vacation sim instead of a game. It's tending to your own village and home (edit: AND fellow villagers), like you would tend to a garden or an animal in real life. It's just relaxing and enjoyable, without all the pressures of having to achieve goals, scores, or getting achievements/trophies. There are some of those mechanics in there, but only ever so slightly, because that too, is not the point of the game. It's all just about having a fun time and relaxing, and for some weird reason, this game that is actually not really a game, might very well keep you coming back for more, and then some...

@Anti-Matter So... you want no violence and sex in your games, but once someone makes infantile butt jokes in a game, then it's funny all of a sudden. Hm, I wonder why that is...

@Eel Say what now? What the heck would that be? Scream-ception?

@ThanosReXXX - Yep, the “I want to get away from this but can’t” dream can take any form, but it’s probably brought on by the same real life anxiety, whatever that may be. I have a very similar dream where I’m being attacked and forced to defend myself, but my punches and kicks are super slow and have almost no impact, again, almost as if I’m underwater. Meanwhile, my attacker is just bobbing and weaving and teeing off on me, and I can’t do anything about it. I think it all probably comes from the “I’m Helpless” fear and anxiety file.

Lately I've been playing devil may cry 3 before bed and as I'm falling asleep, I get the feeling of hacking and slashing which actually jolts my body and wakes me up 😂. I guess I just want to be Dante deep down.

@ThanosReXXX
My butt jokes from ACNL was too hilarious. 🤣
I knew it was quite inappropriate, but....
Everytime i read those texts, i couldn't stop laughing.

@bimmy-lee ooh I've had that one before too, and another variety where you try to punch or defend yourself but you have no power behind your movements. I believe it's a similar phenomenon where your body is trying to do these things in real life, but you can't because you're sleeping, so the feeling of powerlessness you feel is that, your lump of an unconscious body being unable to move.

@ThanosReXXX Exactly. I thought talking-to-a-real-life-girl would have been newsworthy on a nerdy nintendo forum I dont know if it's going to go anywhere. I'm ok if it does. She suggested we do something, twice, which coming from a girl, that's supposed to be a strong signal. She's cute and attractive enough, I'm doing what I can not to blow it Did I mention attractive? ....I don't like "hot" girls. I like, deadly cute, and she's that.

That's a funny pic, @Anti-Matter

@Eel @ThanosRexxx Funny should say that Eel. When I was in college, and obsessed with mogul skiing, living in a dorm (single room with a roommate), I remember waking up in the middle of the night, standing in the dark, in the middle of the room, arm reached out & pointing, saying, "look at this huge mogul". And right then my roommate said, "what the hell are you doing?"

@Eel I'm sure she knows that that means without google translate.
Oh, that's sitting in a tree, kissing. I could make out "en el arbol". I geet eet! ("I get it" with mexican accent 😉) No google needed 🙌 😊 If we keep talking I'll hurt some spanish words with my american accent. Granted, I do what I can to match the correct pronunciation. Cant trill R's well.

EDIT: I remember college friends coming back from spain, speaking their spanish with aboslutely no effort to try fluent pronounciation. I was like, why TF did you go to spain for spanish, and come back still speaking like that? It was painful for me to listen to

@Eel With english, you grow up wiring your tongue to only hit the roof of your mouth once. So, when my tongue hits D or T, it's rigid. It's hard to unwire it, and let it trill. It takes a lot of focus. And I only ever spoke spanish briefly, so I never got a good long steady run of practice. That might take days, weeks to start to get the feel, right.

EDIT: in english, you can say, "hello sunshine" in an endearing way to somone. Does that work/translate in spanish? Rayo de luz? ... Hola rayo de luz?

@Eel - Yeah, it’s like you’re trying so hard, and yet nothing you do lands with any impact. So frustrating. It probably does stem from the friction of our weird brains believing we’re in mid battle while our bodies lie completely motionless. Just like with the running dreams, I also have the inverse dream where I’m super powerful, and someone forces me to fight and I’m like, “You’ve left me no other choice, I must now teach you a lesson with Buddha’s Palm technique and some Hadoukens.”

@Eel I want to endearingly kid, and say something like, "such a messy girl".

Google says, "Una chica tan disordenada". But that doesn't seem to match my sillier tone I'm after. What do you think. And, thank you very much for the help.
