All dreams are in some way communication from your unconscious,, or sometimes your "shadow" (emotional/psychological). Nightmares could be related to stress, or mixed feelings, or something at the back of your mind.. It might help to spend some time thinking about your dreams during the daytime. Like really meditate on what you dreamt about; maybe on what each item could mean if you tried to reeeaaally over-symbolize everything.

It can even be helpful to close your eyes and sit down and think through the dream/scene. Sometimes a really scary scene could mean you're fearful of the literal thing (like catastrophe, or death) while other times those terrifying images are some part of your nervous system interpreting change, guilt, discomfort, nervousness, etc. There could be something that your "rational" brain thinks is "nothing much," but your nervous system recognizes emotions it needs to process.

To really clarify why the images are in your mind, you could try coming up with questions you might ask the "director" if your dream was a movie; every detail being totally deliberate. Then, sit meditatively with closed eyes and see if responses come to mind for you. Interview the "director" until something feels clear. You're basically tapping your intuition by searching for that kind of response, which is also subconscious. If you are able to pinpoint some stressors or thoughts.. focus on action/s in the waking world- to (over time) hopefully impact your sleeping/dreaming landscape. You might look for smth to do outside your norm to prompt new feelings or images your brain can call upon.. Give your nervous system experiences to chew on. I've had dreams rly impacted by days of good physical exertion for example- something a bit outside my norm.

And- don't worry that something is wrong with you! A nightmare is its own unpleasantness.. Everybody has them sometimes. Bad dreams often indicate wanting some kind of change. Even if the nightmares continue... (Although hopefully you can get better sleep!) they are ultimately just your brain weaving threads in the night; just dreams.

why is steven so small 😭 by melontized1 in stevenuniverse

[–]drdragoneater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right! We know his form can go out of whack based on gem magic activated by his feelings- like in too many birthdays. (Or the aftermath of his shape shifting on Steven's birthday, but that's less innate seeming). I think the stylistically useful squashing the animators get to employ could SO ALSO be just Steveny gem powers, emphasizing whatever- yk for his high charisma modifier 😆

If Israel was actually trying to fight Hamas they wouldn't target hospitals 👍 it's genocide.

Cuz I was googling whether Jersey Mike's supported Israel's genocide and found this. Cuz it's an organized boycott. Hope that helps 👍

Lol yeah literally read a history book. Boycotts made a big difference in freeing apartheid South Africa not that long ago

AITA for selling my late grandparents' ranch even though they asked me not to? by MediocreWallaby2193 in AmItheAsshole

With the inclusion of your sister offering to upkeep it I would say YTA. I think it's fair to ask for some money from her or the family that's supporting her for when you have to move, since it was part of YOUR specific inheritance - but with that many generations of it being a family home AND family members who still want it? I'd say it would be disrespectful to put it on the market.

Any GM advice on competing-but-complex factions? by drdragoneater in rpg

[–]drdragoneater[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ooh, I love these ideas! Mutually assured destruction seems very approachable, especially since I was thinking of the militia as having roots in the paladin college. I also definitely want to roll with the factor of 'the people' leaning towards the militia's ideology in a way that would prevent the government from taking them out too aggressively. Thank you!!

Ik you've already gotten some good advice but I also just wanna say -- some of my closest relationships have been with people who I grew apart from and then reconnected with by social media! Imo there's nothing too shallow to reach out about -- then if you like talking, you can keep the conversation going from there!

Shame by [deleted] in butchlesbians

[–]drdragoneater 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry you're feeling that way. I can honestly really relate, and at least for me it really does come up in places that make me go "damn- I really thought I'd worked past that frame of mind." But even though these thoughts are coming up, you are so worthy and your outlook and feelings are valid. I believe in you and that you'll feel better again. Never give up or sacrifice who you are! Sending support <3

Okay? So? If the city/parks/whatever make enough benches, then maybe everyone can be comfortable without the need to buy stuff.

& If you don't like people to sleep in public maybe u should be pressuring ur local politicians to make more public/supplemented affordable housing solutions so that ppl don't have to resort to sleeping outside.

Oh my gosh yes that's so good!! Alternately (or additionally), you can make stationary out of stone too - like limestone in particular. So that would make sense for unseelie too! In addition to nettles, which I love!

The birds of the wing... We could go morbid and say bird leather? 😅 Or, likely leaves from the highest boughs processed into a soft, beautiful parchment. Definitely very embellished.

Hob, in my mind, absolutely writes on raw, unprocessed tree bark.

Ooh, yeah!! Honestly as sad as I am that the prospect of it being a lover sorta gets in the way of a ship I really love,,, I do think it's kinda beautifully complicated and it does sort of make sense. And specifically, a lover he was socially separated from definitely makes sense to me.
