Still trying to get back into the fitness rhythm after vacation. Paging arguewithatree for that weekly check-in! Keep pushing forward! This week marked my first time really trying to get work done on my novel, it feels good. I also awoke today vividly remembering trying to escape capture during WWII to try to find a secret vault of advance technology in a nearby mountain range, but instead awoke some monster thing that literally wiped us all out. It was probably the most vivid dream I've had in a REALLY long time.
i'm gonna try and go today after work cuz I'm in early today! i'm also still trying to figure out the rhythm. Having a rotating work schedule makes it a little more difficult.
Thanks! I also try and walk as much as possible to make up for my spotty gym attendance. We're getting standing desks soon too which is good news for my bad hips!
I enjoyed the hell out of it, but it doesn't bear much deep thinking. It's a Chris McQuarrie so it has every reason not to suck... and it's two characters constantly locked in life-and-death peril in an organic way so injecting even a little bit of humanity into the situation makes them incredibly relatable. It's the same thing that makes Starship Troopers work.
What if it's not just a dream, but repressed memories of your life as a super secret, monster fighting spy? You know, like James Bond meets The Ghostbusters. After you retired, they had your mind wiped so you couldn't share your secrets with the tabloids. Of course, as can happen with these things, they missed a few bits.I also awoke today vividly remembering trying to escape capture during WWII to try to find a secret vault of advance technology in a nearby mountain range, but instead awoke some monster thing that literally wiped us all out.

I'm impressed with that statement. Writing down dreams involves 1) remembering them; 2) having a writing tool at the ready next to the bed before the dream fades; 3) being committed to doing it. I do believe you can train yourself to do it well. I went through a period in my 20s where I wrote down every dream. After a while, you can see patterns. As soon as you see the patterns, you can control them. Eventually you can solve your problems (anxiety, repressed emotion, etc.) in your sleep. I don't know if my last statement is a true statement - but it would be nice to think so.I write down most of my dreams down no matter the scenario.
When I was around 15 I used to write down every dream I had no matter what. After awhile lucid dreaming just came sort of naturally (I could control dreams for seconds before waking up), and after maybe 6 months of that I could stay conscious in a dream for a little while. What an experience it is, and I would recommend trying it to anyone that wants to do it. Now the reason I write my dreams down is sometimes I dream some pretty cool stuff that helps with my writing, but honestly I may try to get back into lucid dreaming.
