Turn off the lights, close my eyes, bingo!

Sweet dreams about how wonderful things will be after we are all assimilated vaccinated.

I get citalopram injected into my eyelids and now I sleep like a baby, every time. Also helps with the anxiety and the occasional bout of existential dread, which is nice.

It generally involves some time daydreaming about a long term mental architectural project. Sometimes drifting off involves a dream of dying in a very specific way, but sleep comes eventually.

I wait until I'm tired, usually around 11pm. Then I have the TV on mute in the background as a distraction, or sometimes total silence. Never completely dark. Then I sleep.

If I can't sleep, I close my eyes and smile, and imagine myself in a loving man's arms. That works a lot.

Have a bad body clock, so feeling tired at an appropriate time doesn't happen. Learned a long time ago, mental projects help to eliminate busy thoughts about real life which prevent trying to fall asleep. Being snapped awake by death while drifting off seems a common thing people do, falling off cliffs and whatnot.

It helps me to have all the lights dimly lit around me for 3-4 hours beforehand. I have my laptop screen at the dimmest setting too, that seems to work.

Mental projects, anything that gets the mind to think like that is actually a bad idea. I still don't get the link to death, maybe because you said you dream of dying in a specific way, and then sleep comes. You mean daydreaming?

I stop trying to be awake. If struggling, I think of Richie Allen.

I didn't know some people experienced hallucinations from that. Interesting.

Don't consider it a hallucination; it's a dream. Though it's always the same dream which is strange. It's not a falling dream, so have never told anyone exactly what it is, because the consistency makes it feel somewhat prophetic. Don't genuinely believe it's prophetic, so saying I think I know how I'm going to die strikes as a silly thing to do.

Sorry, the Wiki article referred to them as hallucinations. My bad. I've had lots of the same dreams for years about my teeth falling out randomly and haunted houses. None of them came true.

I hope the death dream isn't too scary for you.

Maybe it's a psychological thing related to stress and/or trauma?

Jack doesn't mix well with psychoactive substances, so avoid them.

 :lol1: I'm a bit fascinated by dreams because I don't often remember them. I don't put stock in dream interpretation, but it's still interesting to look them up. Dreams about pooping can have positive meanings, signifying a person has let go, or is ready to let go, of negativity. I'm not sure if I've let anything negative go, but have definitely been striving to be more positive and avoid negative stimulus. Dreaming about contact with poop can signify a sense of shame. In my dream someone knocked at the door and I rushed to clean up the mess before letting them in, so maybe my negativity is embarrassing.  :dunno:

I remember some of my dreams. I used to remember more but the last few years seem to have changed that. Maybe it's that my sleeping patterns are off.

Barely, even on a cocktail of prescription and OTC meds and supplements.
