Nope. Why would a film series based on a theme park ride be accurate in any way?

Yes!

Agree, a page about a movie should have photos from the time of the movie, perhaps even as seen on screen. Individuals have pages, recent photos are appropriate there

It be nice if they had both. A still from the film and what they look like now so if you recognise the actor from a film you can then see what they look like now.

I've had a similar one, but not recurring. I was starting to lucid dream and was running up a skyscraper. But I'm deathly afraid of heights and realized this on my way up. Then I lost my power, I managed to cling on to an overhang and was fucking terrified and woke up. The next night I found I had fucking sweat stains on my sheets and opted to sleep on the couch, and washed them the next day.

in the past ive had a recurring dream where im playing basketball and jump like 50 metres, then i realize im dreaming as i fall to my death and just wake up.

as a kid i did have a few lucid dreams, but i still can't change this particular dream as an adult, so i think it's some sort of metaphor about strength/power or imagination maybe

I did, but I forced myself to do it yesterday... Zero emails directed at me!

Time to celebrate by basking in my self-satisfaction and not checking it the rest of the week.

Me with social media notifications

Yeah, that's enough to make anyone feel stressed. But in case you haven't dealt with that kind of anxiety before, some pointers:

• Take care of yourself, as much as possible - self care can pay dividends when you have to tackle big things
• If you find the anxiety comes and goes in waves, take advantage of the "low points" and give yourself some breathing room in the "high points"
• If it helps, do some of those tougher things with loved ones around. My wife often asks me to be with her when she has to respond to emails or things that stress her out.

Hope that helps!

As someone who has lucid dreams, dont verbalise it or focus on the thought that its a dream. Makes it easier.

I lucid dreamed one time. I woke up as soon as I recognized I was dreaming, went back to sleep and started dreaming again, then woke up again. This happened four or five times, every time was shorter--I'd recognize more quickly that I was dreaming, and immediately wake up. Frustrating.

I definitely have lucid dreams sometimes. Usually for a nap, as opposed to actual sleep time. One time I was dreaming I had jury duty and realized it was a dream (can't remember why) and just said "fuck this, I'm out" and just flew out of there, breaking down a wall in the process.

you are so close

This happened to me a week or two ago.

I actually wrote about the dream to some friends in our Discord right when I woke up because I didn’t want to forget it, so here’s the story:

I was just having a someone pleasant dream - at least not BAD dream - where the setting was that I lived in an apartment that was kind of in a mall. The front door was out into a big indoor area and right next door was a steakhouse. There were people sitting in this open area and one asked if I’d ever eaten there (I hadn’t).

But then some scrawny looking guy came up asking saying he also lived in the building trying to get me to sign some petition. I said no.

Later, for whatever reason, it was snowing in this building (lol, dreams), and my friends and I had to go to some location to break out yet another friend from some old timey, wooden jail cell! In the process I took off my watch because I didn’t want to damage it. But accidentally left it.

On our way back I realized the error, but we were close to the apartment so I decided to just get the extra friend into the home first. So we go to some back door to this apartment, and as I open the door, letting some snow in, I realize it was unlocked. The apartment had been robbed! The scrawny guy had been casing the joint!

But the reason I write all of this to begin with is that a weird thing happened I don’t know I’ve experienced before: the me in the dream said, “this is a dream, fuck this” and I instantly woke up. I’m still all groggy as I type.

Thanks brain.

It's because I haven't checked them in a while and I'm worried about the future which they remind me of.

Right now that's:

What will I write about for my thesis?

But they also make me think of bigger questions like:

Would I be able to find a job in this bad market after I graduate? Would I be able to fulfill all the immigration requirements and keep my permit? How can I even do that when I'm running out of savings and it looks really hard to find a job without months of searching? How would I be able to find an affordable apartment near wherever I can even find a job?

Idk. I guess I'm just at a moment in life where I'm stressed in general because many things are coming to a head. Career, immigration, parents retiring, the end of grad school, low savings and loans from family, and so much more. Just ughh. If I could skip 5 years right now I would.

Most of the time, people with anxiety don't realize what it is, because it just seems normal. Not that you necessarily have an anxiety issue, but that's a common enough manifestation.

Can you figure out any particular reason you feel anxious about reading emails?

I never thought I had anxiety. I never had it really. This is developing recently :/

No, because 90% is the helldesk emailing me about stuff I already know or I have already actioned.

The rest is useless internal spam or external marketing spam.

Yeah, I have generalized anxiety too :(

I was feeling very anxious about a couple of things. Maybe it's related to my anxiety?

Only when i'm feeing particularly slimy or sweaty. Asd here too, the facial hair is driving me up the wall tactile-wise though!

Btw, unless you're sweating up a storm all the time, you don't have to bathe every single day - modern lifestyles simply don't stress our bodies enough to stink up in that short a period.
