Or more broadly, creepy/unexplainable stories? Anything that’s happened that makes your skin crawl when you think about it.

    You can’t trust anything right after waking up. For example once I dreamed I was being attached by a giant python. Woke up and then realized the snake is still there! After moving around in panic it turns out I fell asleep on my arm (which has been fully numb).

    Anyway, the first few seconds after waking up you’re still half dreaming. It has probably happened a dozen times that I had a genius idea in my dream, woke up, still really hyped for 3-4 seconds till reality kicked in why that idea wouldn’t work at all in the real world.

      Sometimes I do the whole excited idea thing only to realize I was excited for an idea I have absolutely no recollection of. They might’ve worked, I could’ve been the next Nobel prize winner but dream world robbed me.

        Trust me, those ideas never work if you do remember them.

        It’s things like: If I do X I can actually get superpowers, holy shit! This is awesome, there is so much I can do, I just need to do X… wait, X is impossible.

        The mean thing is steps 2, 3 and 4 are all easy, till you realize step 1 doesn’t work in the real world :)
