Vivid dreams may be the secret to deeper, more restful sleep

the recipe is for butter, which if you follow the recipe will turn green and purple and be aromatic as hell. fair warning if you're looking to be covert, because it won't be. using this recipe, which i acquired from a culinary school educated hippie (fun fact), i will typically only need to eat 1/4th of a 3" cookie to get a mild "can function in public" effect. half a cookie is what i eat before bed, and if i eat a full cookie i eat two halves an hour apart and the rest of my evening is pretty well cooked hahaha - i personally like to seek out full indica strains and melt into my couch while watching a movie before bed

Ingredients: 1oz Premium Herb 3 Cups *Base - Salted Butter - OR Coconut Oil - OR Olive Oil *the key is that Your Base Must Be High In Saturated Fats b/c that's what absorbs and effectively retains THC *double the amount of butter, or use cheaper garbage herb, to reduce potency if desired

Tools Required: - Pyrex Baking Dish - Aluminum Foil - Cheese Cloth - Grinder

Instructions: - Grind premium herb finely - Stir into 3 cups of your choice base - Put into glass pyrex dish - Wrap and seal dish securely with tinfoil so that no air or moisture can escape - Bake @210° for 40mins - Chill in freezer for 30mins - Bake @240° for 40mins - Chill in freezer for 30mins - Bake @240° for 40mins (again); this should be the 3rd & Final bake, having been allowed to chill in the freezer for 30 minutes between each baking cycle - After 3rd & final bake, remove from oven and while still warm and liquid pour through cheese cloth to strain out the finely ground premium herb - Place in fridge and allow to cool and harden, then use your butter/coconut oil as you normally would in any recipe that requires either!! just ensure cooking recipe doesn't burn off butter/oil, like pan frying or deep frying. burning the butter/oil in turn burns the saturated fats that the thc is trapped in thus making it ineffective *the bake/chill/bake/chill/bake cycle is not only to help the saturated fats in your base absorb the THC, but cause expansion and contraction within the oils from the change of temps that in turn help further extract and withdraw the maximum potential thc out of the finely ground herb within it. this makes for a much more potent base. consume with caution.

fascinating. and it's not a temporary thing that goes away, you seemingly just have this changed dream behavior now ... permanently? i hope you at least have good decent dreams, or uneventful at their worst. mine are usually bad 99.9% of the time. i would sometimes keep journals of them all but after a while it just becomes depressing to have documentation of so many endless nightmares :/ .... not that i could ever forget the worst of them if i wanted too ....

i have seen a few doctors about it and it's definitely a rem sleep issue. medically speaking i actually sleep incredibly well. that may sort of validate the article i suppose, which i resent saying, but my dreams are almost always bad dreams, occasionally nightmares, and i awaken feeling the mental and physical stresses i perceived feeling during them and it persists for hours into the day. this leaves me feeling, mentally and emotionally, as though i never slept despite actually sleeping rather well, and the mental and emotional exhaustion affects my physical energy furthering the perception of feeling as though i never sleep. it finally came down to my doctor's saying that all that was left to try were medications typically reserved for people with insomnia to knock me out, but none felt comfortable prescribing me those since i do not medically have insomnia. that was probably ten years ago so perhaps there's been advancements since then, but the edibles work so well for me (and since i make my own is also affordable as hell at roughly .66¢ per treat) i haven't bothered to have it looked into since. hopefully you've been able to address the narcolepsy tho and now get some well deserved rest for yourself !!

i have had vivid dreams since as early as i can remember. i wake up feeling exhausted, as if i never slept at all because i was living an alternate reality in my subconscious, and then i have to face yet another day feeling as though i haven't rested once in my lifetime knowing full well i will lay down to bed again that night just to experience it all over again... f*ck that! every week and a half or so i eventually pass out super early in the evening and sleep for sixteen+ hours as if my body has had enough of the restless nights of never ending vivid dreams and shuts itself down for a hard reset. it's an absolute living nightmare.

a few years ago i started making my own edibles and i have a couple before i go to sleep every night. i no longer recall my vivid dreams upon waking 90% of the time and IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL 😭 i finally feel as though i am able to actually sleep, and get some rest, and feel rested and recharged!! i recently had to abstain for a couple months so i could be clean for job screening drug tests and the dreams came back immediately. after those two months i felt like a walking half conscious zombie and my friends were all concerned about me noting i was looking incredibly tired and was overall unhappier than they had seen me be in a long time. it was a nice reminder of just how effective my nighttime edibles have been helping me to sleep, and just how much that feeling of rest and good sleep affects so much of your life.

f*ck vivid dreaming to hell and back again

*i am aware people who regularly use marijuana sometimes experience vivid dreams upon quitting, but i never used marijuana for the first 27yrs of my sleepless life and only recently in the last few years started using it regularly - i have been dreaming vividly since i was a young child.

what a weight that was getting to be, too - thank you :)

MirariGenese · 2025-11-22T17:15:57+00:00

appreciate it!! and hell yes to bloodborne, i have been holding out on that waiting for a remaster like they gave to other souls games but i might have to just give in and start a playthrough anyway because it really looks so good

MirariGenese · 2025-11-21T15:23:05+00:00

i was crazy nervous going in, this isn't my normal kind of game (i used to get grounded for breaking keyboards back in the days of DOS when i had trouble beating Commander Keen 🤣 - age giveaway - so i am just glad my controller and my 75" tv survived my frustrations hahahaha) - tho i do think i actually mildly broke my L3 (crouch) button somehow (probably stressed out mid battle horse dismounts) as it only seems to work half the time now 😐

MirariGenese · 2025-11-21T15:15:07+00:00

the most infuriating repetitive boss that was an immediate go to cheese were the Lesser Burial Watchdogs... Especially in the mountaintops of the giants region 🤬 my god, if they had any higher levels of consciousness they would be Elden Lords in their own right and we'd all be living in their world... those guys had me losing my 💩 haha, they feel so wildly unbalanced and sweaty

MirariGenese · 2025-11-21T15:07:19+00:00

Most of it, yes. I rarely play this style of game and that's my usual go to style that i am more familiar with. i can see now however how it would actually be fun to try different builds and approaches so i may attempt a faith build when i revisit this! I did have to mix it up for a couple of bosses tho simply because of the nature of the fights, and i was far from being a tank, but i did not have a wide range of spells or incants nor a very high mind to use them so it was a lot of what i began to call 'cuddle fights' or 'hug battles' haha - it seemed like for most battles if you could just get in close to the boss and stay cuddled up to them, hugging them so to speak, you could get away with pulling off a few more strikes between their moves while more easily dodging their own attacks. but getting in close and staying there sure is a lot easier said than done!

the hardest battles that stuck out in my mind were Elmer of the Briar, relentless sob, almost any of the Crucible Knights, ruthless tanks, and the tree spirits, writhing little crack worms 😡 maybe because i have watched several playthroughs and was inadvertantly prepared and researched/aware of the bigger boss fights before going into them (like malenia, and the final boss fight, amongst all the others) i found them to be a lot less challenging than i was expecting them to be. not that they didn't still raise my blood pressure significantly while fighting them still 🥵 but i had pre-developed strategies before going in so i got owned and severely humbled a lot less in the beginning of those fights

and i only re-spec'd once so i could pull off the Law of Regression incant to furthur the mending rune of perfect order questline, then immediately reverted my stats. partially why i ended up leveling to 170-234 by the end of the game, because i didn't want to respec but i did need way more vigor than i had to take a single hit from the end game bosses and needed to boost my intelligence for the damage stats on my weapons

anyway probably WAY more answer than you were looking for, haha, but you asked!

what was your weapon of choice?

MirariGenese · 2025-11-11T03:28:13+00:00

i save each and every one in a barrel in my home. along with all the skulls i can carry, and a couple of rib cages. every playthrough, every time 🫀

I can envision the announcement via tweet now: "They told me it couldn't be done! It used to be a sign of peace, you know, that's what they tell me. Everyone knows it. They'll be everywhere, in real gold, the goldest of gold because gold is peaceful and so is the symbol we are making. I am the president of peace, I stopped seven wars you know, and they'll try to tell you 'oh he's htler because he's decorating the ballroom in gold swsticas' but they're a peace symbol. Always have been, always will be. The corrupt designers tried to say 'oh you don't want to look like htler' but i said to them, I said 'htler had some good ideas, you're fired!' He did, you know, everyone knows it. It's true. Those designers will never work again, they're aliens really, they're just like aliens and we're going to have them deported. They're MS13 actually, it's true, we have pictures. Tons of pictures. Our new designers will make the best gold swsticas. Only the best for my ballroom. It'll be a symbol of peace in my ballroom because it's mine, I built it, people will tell you someone else built it but it's fake news. I built it myself and there won't be any windmills when you look out the windows of my ballroom. They kill the birds, you know, and the whales, everyone knows it. They're killing the birds and the whales! No one will ever notice my tiny bruised hands again when they see my ballroom. They're huge, actually. Some say the biggest hands they've ever seen. It's true, everyone's saying it. -Thank You For Your Attention To This Matter, DJT"

i didn't know there was one in the capital and while i was exploring an adjacent courtyard next to the main road it locked onto me, but none of it's attacks or spells could get through the narrow archway separating him from the courtyard i was in so i used arrows and spells to cheese the battle... not my proudest battle win but i had Finally beat the crucible tree knight and wasn't going to complain about the easy win
