[Misc] I Scored A Six Nations Try Last Night- And It Hurt...

Eeyore · Tuesday at 10:00 AM

Early this morning I scored a try in the Six Nations. Only it hurt...

I was having a dream and scrambling to reach a poor pass by the opposition member and touch it down. For the first time in my entire life, my brain seemed to miss-fire my sub conscience in sleep and my body acted as if it was really happening. I proceeded to smash my face on the beside table and fall out of bed.

Although it is rather funny for those not experiencing it, it was actually quite scary as I suddenly woke up in pain and shock with a blooded face. Has anyone else ever had night time dreams that their brain puts in the conscious ? My concern more than anything is that I may need to change the bedside arrangements if my brain can't tell the difference. I'll be breaking my arm when bowling at 90mph to Sunil Gavaskar next...

What was the final score?

My mother-in-law thought she was being chased by a herd of cattle and threw herself out of bed.
My suggestion that we move her bed to the top of the stairs was not well received.

I blame @dsr-burnley 's lot for it all. I had a WhatsApp exchange with my Leeds friend in Yorkshire where we both said we'd be fresh in the morning because we were going to get a good night's sleep after that yawn fest. Turned out it was too good a night's sleep.

Did you end up with a virtual cauliflower ear

No, just a cut temple and a bruised eye. That's my rugby playing days over. I hope I'm just a passive spectator next time.

I suggest the opposition player shoulder charged your head as you bent for the ball. I imagine he got a straight red if that’s any consolation :wink:

I have had a few dreams where I am playing for the Albion, I have played like a competition winner in all of them :down:

All humour aside, has anyone ever experienced such a cross between conscious and sub-conscious in sleep ? I was very nervous drifting off again.

Hope you're ok and I really shouldn't giggle but this is a very Eeyore thing to do......

Oh it is funny, and you know me well enough to expect such a thing. I'm getting suggestions to put rails on the side of the bed. As long as that doesn't lead to dreams about pole vaulting.

Genuinely, tons of dreams over the years on being a lottery winner. In great detail … declining publicity, working out the gifts to family and charities, where to live.

It’s hard-work being a multi millionaire.

Then, awake, reality.

I dreamt I was stranded in the middle of nowhere in the middle of the night. Then I woke up and remembered I'm not going to the Chelsea Cup game. Phew!

On the opposite side of the scale, I've had sleep paralysis before where you wake up and you know you're awake, but you can't move, although you're willing yourself to, you just can't. Scary stuff.

Uh_huh_him · Tuesday at 11:59 AM

Chasing after my kids in a water park - desperate to catch up with them for some urgent reason (unclear in the dream)
followed them down a huge, long waterslide and realised if i moved from side to side sharply, I would speed up and be able to catch up with them.

With one almighty twist to the left, I awoke mid air as I fell out of bed.

The Mole · Tuesday at 1:10 PM

I once knocked a glass off the bedside table whilst trying to prevent a boundary with a diving stop. The ball went for four (as usual) and the glass didn’t break but I did wake up

Nothing harmful or dramatic, but I was dreaming about searching for a notebook. I was pushing my husband out of the way, because I was convinced he was laying on it. I was also talking in my sleep about it.
He just laughed.

I dreamt we were getting robbed once and waking up I sat bolt upright and shouted "DAD!" at the top of my lungs.

Completely ruined my hard man credibility* and my partner has looked at me funny ever since.

*never had any credibility.

Same - I had it loads between about ages 18 and 20, for no obvious reason. There was nothing going on in my life at that point that hasn't happened to a greater or similar extent since. The one I remember most vividly is being in bed and there being a ring of children walking around me in a circle and I couldn't move. Terrifying. It's only happened a couple of times in the roughly 30 years since, both when I was wiped out with COVID.

The sleep related one I get a lot now, and I tried to describe this to a mate and ended up sounding like a lunatic, is if I'm exceptionally tired and can't sleep my brain will invent a memory that will seem incredibly realistic and I'd swear was real until I've gone to sleep and woken up again and I'll realise it didn't. It's exceptionally vivid daydreaming I guess - mad things - like, in recent weeks I was waiting up for a call pottering around the kitchen and pretty sure I'd been on a cycling holiday with David Bowie in the summer, tandem bike through France, and could have described it in great detail...I was emptying the dishwasher and thinking about it like it was a normal thing. I dozed off on the sofa a few minutes later, got woken up by the phone, remembered the Bowie thing and obviously knew it was nonsense. [Now slightly paranoid someone will tell me this is a symptom something serious!]

I think it's probably the same mechanism as deja vu, which is also linked to tiredness, where something kind of bypasses your conscious and goes straight into your subconscious without rational moderation so you have the impression of it having happened already because it feels a bit like a memory.

That's interesting, my experience of this was between 18-20 too and not experienced anything like it since.
