Do you ever dream?

[AdamBlue]

Ever have a dream about ARM?

I recently had a dream my character fell into a volcano with an argosy, and the heat was so intense it was constantly tearing apart my health until I saw the cackling mantis head and woke up, nearly having a heart attack.

[BadSkeelz]

I've only dreamed while on my first character, and they were always about fighting and dying in holes, or clan-mates quitting over something or other. Usually accurate enough that I could give them to the character himself.

[Barsook]

I only dreamt about losing my character for some reason, perhaps it's the fear that I will lose them in real life (non-dream, in this case).

[Down Under]

I typically dream that my character does something stupid and gets killed.

Then I wake up and they are still alive.

[valeria]

A lot of my dreams seamlessly alternate between the two.  I'll be playing along as a character and then die and have to make a new character, or be knocked out of my immersion by dream distractions and struggle to get back on, or something.

What's HAAPR?

[AdamBlue]

Jeax is under the impression the staff is giving us dreams with something called a HAARP machine.
High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program.
It's a thing the military has.

[Armaddict]

Over the years, the number of arm dreams are uncountable.  They're also usually my favorites.

Sometimes it's in text, sometimes it's real, sometimes it's like it's...just a reference.  A pointer to armageddon, but it's own real world in itself.

[Desertman]

Had one last night in fact. Vivid first person that shifted into third person behind the keyboard back and forth repeatedly. 

[Jihelu]

I made my own kingdom in a dream once.
It was in the west, apparently I was some weird death god and destroyed every elf tribe and their mother and made my own sect of templars.
Was fun.
Then everything exploded due to terrorism.

I had a very vivid dream, but I wasn't my pc. I was me. So, I didn't vote.

Apparently, everyone dreams every night.

I hardly ever remember dreaming upon waking up, I can count on a hand the amount of dreams I remember through my entire life, and three are recurring dreams I had as a kid.

One of the others is mine. You can't have it.

The other was a few years ago, when I was jobless, and spent a LOT of time playing Arm. 8+ hours a day. So it was a pretty vivid dream of scrolling text and thought commands. Not...like......Think thought commands, but thought commands, like you know....think commands.

Mind typing.

[i love toilets]

I can't remember what the dreams were about, but I remember at least one was all in text, and another was half-text, halfway standing on Caravan Way video-game style.

This isn't necessarily true. Not everyone dreams every night. In order to dream you must enter at least REM sleep (Rapid Eye Movement) stage or deeper. Not everyone enters REM sleep every night.

I had a very vivid dream, but I wasn't my pc. I was me. So, I didn't vote.

But the dream took place in Zalanthas.

This isn't necessarily true. Not everyone dreams every night. In order to dream you must enter at least REM sleep (Rapid Eye Movement) stage or deeper. Not everyone enters REM sleep every night.

There is no deeper stage of sleep than REM. REM consist of about 25% of your sleeping, recurring every 90ish minutes.

Sleep goes in cycles, and despite our differences, we are still all the same species. We all eat, we all drink, we all expel waste, and we all Most of us dream, every night. Hell, every two hour nap.



The reason you remember dreams more as a kid is because of all the unaswered questions they raise, unlikely/impossible things that happen in them. Less as an adult because we tend to rationalize things we see, and are pretty secure in our lives. Dreams help the mind make sense of everything that's happened since your last one.

[slvrmoontiger]

Again this isn't always necessarily true. We do not all reach REM sleep every night. People that have sleep apnia have a lot of difficulties reaching REM sleep. I have troubles reaching REM sleep because of my sleep apnia. I was tested a couple of different times for a night and both times I failed to reach REM sleep.

[Kol]

I sit corrected.

[valeria]

I remember reading somewhere that lighter sleepers tend to remember their dreams more as well.  This would fit my anecdotal experience.

[Refugee]

I often have Arm dreams.  Sometimes they switch back and forth between text and being the PC itself. 

[Delirium]

The only one I remember clearly to this day is an incredibly vivid dream of my old half-breed ranger walking on a narrow ledge, and messing up a keystroke to send her tumbling to her doom. I woke up rather sad that my long lived character had died like that, and only after logging in did I realize she was actually still alive.

[TheWanderer]

I GUESS YOU WERE A LITTLE... DELIRIOUS

BAHAHAHAAHAHAAHAHAHHHHHH,TRTR
