MODERATORS
I dream but it fucks me up. Same system my brain uses for reality stuff. Takes time to sort out if not fantastical. I still don’t see anything. Just remember like I do other stuff without pictures. It so disconcerting that I have smoked cannabis every night since I was 13 before bed to suppress the dreams even though they surface from time to time, at least then I know they are dreams.
how does no inner voice work? like do you have thoughts but don't feel like you can "hear" then very well? idk if this makes sense
Not sure if I can answer that as I have never had a voice in my head ever. I have no reference unfortunately. It’s the single biggest question I have for myself. How do I have thoughts with no pictures and no inner voice but still think of stuff without hearing anything. I have no clue.
oh i have the same thing then :p
Welcome to the 3% club. Maybe less if you have both I assume.
I am also left handed. I wonder if that’s related as well.
Oh wow, I'd never considered what dreaming would be like for someone with that trait. So you fall asleep, and then you get flooded with bizarre fake memories?
Yup, not flooded though luckily. Cannabis suppresses the dreams and sometimes they burble to the surface during waking hours which makes it easier to sort them out.
