I apparently threw my glasses across the room in my sleep last night. Spent a solid 5 minutes going full on Velma mode looking for them.

Do you wear your glasses in bed??

[–] Alto@kbin.social 37 points 7 months ago (1 children)

No, I frankly don't have the slightest clue how I did it.

That makes this so much funnier

How else are you gonna see in your dream?

[–] Alto@kbin.social 3 points 7 months ago

Funnily enough, taking my glasses off in a dream and still being able to see is how I've realized I was I a dream a couple times. Unfortunately I immediately get way too excited at the prospect and immediately wake up every time haha

Sleepwalking is correlated with stress levels. I've sleepwalked a few times in my life; some I half-remember, but most not at all, I only know if I find out from someone else like family/friends/partners.

When I was a teenager, I had a wall scroll that hung above the head of my bed. One morning, I found it piled on the floor next to my bed. It could have been one of my family, but they all denied it and there's no motivation anyway. I had to conclude that I did it in my sleep, but it's stuck with me because I've always found it extremely disturbing that I'm up and about while I'm completely (or nearly completely) unconscious. I've lived in a few skyscrapers with windows and balcony doors that opened more than enough for me to jump, and the idea that I'll wake up halfway down scares the everfucking bejeezus out of me.

I make use of that trick a lot, unfortunately it wasn't a ton of help this time.
