She’s lying. Unless you have narcolepsy or you’re seriously sleep deprived, you’re unlikely to consistently dream in non-REM sleep, let alone dream for the entire time you’re asleep.
rich ‘people’ will literally call anything “work” to try and absolve their pig brains of the guilt they feel deep down. my boss loves to “work fridays at home”. of course any time he needs to facetime me so he can micromanage my work, his “work” convenient seems to always take place outside in the nice weather by a relaxing view
'it works! she got millions on funding" i love how capitalists have given up on profit on 2025, it’s just shuffling money between banks and venture capitalists via the checking account of dipshits who “invent” tinder but for [insert industry]
Further proof that capitalism isn’t even about maximising profit, it’s only about maximising the accumulation of wealth.
Thats not true! It’s also about alienating us from material reality!
having dreams about serving capital is just extremely sad
This is the Bloodborne nightmare. They encage their heads and consume the umbilical cord to contact Capital, and it traps its new children in a nightmare where there is no escape from The Grind. But tonight is the night of the Hunt, good hunter. May you find your worth in the waking world.
imagine waking up after 3 hours of lucid dream work and immediately having to journal everything down instead of brushing your teeth
“Haha I have completely hollowed my psyche and become a vessel for the worship and nihilistic stockpiling of abstract wealth, aren’t I quirky?”
Madam there is no “you” anymore
*Learns to lucid dream
*Instead of having fun with it you WORK??!
Bruh, girl, there’s so much fun things you can do in your dream if you can lucid dream it but apparently instead of that, the obsession to your work encompassed any desire, curiousity or relaxation…
Damn it, capitalism.
When I learned to lucid dream it was so a bunch of hot dudes would fawn over me.
Kinda embarrassing in hindsight but after reading this not embarrassing at all.
Did it work? Asking for a friend…
I mean I learned to lucid dream a long time ago and I feel like the effects are very exaggerated. If you can close your eyes and imagine something really hard, that’s about the same as lucid dreaming. Every time I’ve done it I’ve both been aware it’s a dream and aware that it’s just imagination too.
I’ve never related to the stories of people claiming they can fully simulate reality in their minds during lucid dreaming. It never felt like that to me, felt more like jusy having your mind wander during daydreaming. Maybe I’m doing it wrong but it seems like what lucid dreaming is supposed to be, awareness that I’m asleep and dreaming, able to wake myself up at any moment, and able to conjure up images of sensations.
Maybe you just don’t get as vivid lucid dreams as most people. For me it is less like daydreaming, and more like absolute power in a world of my own design. I’m not just imagining something, I’m going “I want this to happen now” and it happens with all the sights, sounds, and feelings that involves.
My daydreaming certainly doesn’t compare.
Respectfully, it is all the ‘sights, sounds and feelings’ that you imagine it involves, because it isn’t actually happening. Falling in a dream (even lucid) tends to be a very different experience after you’ve actually done it irl.
In the context of daydreaming, imagining is a very active process. In lucid dreaming, everything that is conjured simply happens independent of any active thought. I don’t have to think “if there were a bear there it would have brown fur and be big and round with teeth and it might make a grunt that sounds like this” I simply go “I want a bear to be there now” and it just exists and does bear stuff as if I had been having a dream about encountering a bear independently.
Are your normal dreams not any different from daydreaming? If you have a nightmare about a monster chasing you it’s not any different from imagining what a monster would be like while you’re awake? Because for me those are two entirely different experiences.
My point isn’t if the imagining is an active process or not in lucid dreaming, in my experience it isn’t. My point is that what the subconscious is conjuring often bears little real sense relation to the reality of the thing in question, often it is only the appearance of the thing, particularly for things that you have never actually encountered before in reality.
Like, you ‘encountering a bear’ will have a closer relationship to you seeing a bear on television or at the zoo, than what the actual smell, touch and feel of a bear really is. Your imagination will fill in the blanks for you.
when i was having frequent lucid dreams i had awareness of the fact i was dreaming but did not have much control over them.
if i was searching to find my dog, for instance, I would have to really explore the messed up blended together landscape i was physically in and find locations associated with my dog.
in my experience, you cannot just summon a bunch of hunky dudes out of mid air
Up until I was 9 I could, on demand, stop any dream and pick from a “selector” just like a jukebox to go back to any other dream I had and enjoyed. I was fully aware I was sleeping, and would choose freely.
I hate that as I got older I completely lost this skill.
that sounds awesome. do you know where you lost the skill at? can I find it?
Summoning out of thin air is harder, ime telling myself something is just around a corner and turning it with the expectation it would there works much better.
exactly. exploring the dream labyrinth to find your dog is so fun
…you’re friend will be interested to know…
Yes…
Lucky you, my lucid dreams are usually ptsd attacks or straight up horror movies (creative ones but alas)
Do
AndroidsWorkers Dream of ElectricSheepJobs?It’s the same mindset as the ceo ghouls that microdose lsd to be better at work.
Dream job? No, I do not dream of labor, thank you.
Literally who, I thought it was Andrew Yang
Same lol
Imagine believing this. Incidentally, you only spend like a quarter of the time you’re asleep in REM, which is a necessary condition for dreaming.
There was a time when I’d have intense dreams just as I’d doze off, and then immediately be awakened by them. Learned later that it was a sign that I was sleep deprived (mostly my own fault because I’d be up until 4 or 5 in the morning playing games or watching movies, then wake up at like 8 to go to work).
Yeah, I was wondering about that when I looked it up, since I used to get those a lot, but I think it’s because you’re not really fully asleep at that point.
Literally Ziz
Look if they want to work 24/7 I say we throw the CEOs into work camps so they can live out their fantasies doing something productive, like hitting rocks with a pickaxe.
Oh cool you found out how to control your dreams, what kind of awesome shit you doing in dream time? Flying? Fighting monsters? Traveling the globe? No? What? Working?
I apend my lucid dreams getting flattened bt very very large furry women
And you’re cool for that, way better than fucking working.
Well, it’s a living
At the very least work on a hobby . . .
I’ve had some intense dreams where I’m getting hella laid by the woman of my, well, dreams and yet this is what you chose to spend your finite time on earth doing???
I actually work 25/8. I have achieved a higher mode of consciousness where I can weave out of the normal timeline and do work in the timeless void equivalent of working an extra 32 hours a week. I think VCs should give me 100s of millions of dollars for my startup, Buddha AI, where we are trying to train LLMs to achieve enlightenment.
Cool. I will work 24/7 for you if you let me sleep for 18 hours of the day.
He already explained they’re 24/7 with this, next question
Pretty frequently I’ll be having an issue with something and while I’m dreaming I come up with the perfect solution. Then I wake up and try to remember what it was and it’s always something like “Have Jeff Goldblum bake a cake made out of macaroni and cheese.” I would not trust a business where someone does 1/3 of their problem solving while asleep.
So many of my dreams are about being in my house or some other familiar building, but it always has extra rooms or floors, or one of the entry doors opens up to a beach or a forest or something, or there’s a tunnel in the basement that leads into a cavern or vault. Meanwhile my mind is all, “yep, this place has been like this the whole time” and accepts this wonky alternate universe as fact.
Then when I wake up, I’m slightly disappointed that my house is the same old boring place it’s always been.
I used to have dreams like that all the time before I got diagnosed with sleep apnea. There was a very rough period where I had withdrawal symptoms from quitting sleeping pills, and the only reason I could tell something was a dream was because my one bedroom apartment suddenly had stairs to a second floor, or extra windows.
I hope you’re not also having cycles of false awakenings where you dream that you’ve just woken up, realize you’re dreaming and start to worry you’ve overslept, then wake up again within the same dream. They can be a sign that you have a sleep disorder.
Yeah, I’m scheduled for a sleep study in a month because I sometimes wake with my mattress shifted or my bedspread on the floor, which I know are signs of sleep apnea. Though I’ve always had the “my house, but drastically different” kind of dreams for as long as I can remember, at least going back to my preteen years. Unless I’ve had an undiagnosed sleep disorder for nearly three decades now, which I hope the sleep study will catch.

Interestingly I only ever get those when I have a high fever, usually on the first or second night battling influenza, or recently the two times I had COVID. Usually they involve me trying to perform some stupidly absurd, impossible task, like building a skyscraper out of garden gnomes, pencil sharpener shavings and barbeque sauce, all the while I have “I gotta wake up soon” in the back of my mind. These dreams are repetitive too, even after waking up and going back to sleep. And worst of all, I can’t get the task done because everything resets.
Good luck. I don’t think they will have any way of telling when it started. I only started getting those kinds a dreams a few years before I was diagnosed, but I’ve had issues with sleep for practically my entire life, so I think I may have had sleep apnea for some time. I used to constantly wake up between 3 to 5 am until I was 6 or 7 years old, and I’ve needed 30-60 minutes to fall asleep since my teens.
I’ve also had those dreams where I think I have to do some stressful task. I’ve been on CPAP for a few years, and now I only get them if I’m very sick or there’s a problem with my machine.
