>it's another "can't sleep for more than an hour straight without being interrupted by a nightmare" episode
>tfw all my nightmares are about Cthulhu-esque eldritch horrors
>tfw nightmares are able to put me into an indescribable state of extreme terror that nothing in real life can even come close to
i haven't had a nightmare in years
in a way i kind of miss them
Same, I can't stand them. Its funny because as a kid I had them every night and they were way more fucked up, but I could handle them and sometimes enjoyed them. I guess I was tougher then, or maybe now I'm just worn down. Life is a fucking trip, how it takes you from here to there just like that.

I know the second feel
I dream like a bigger power than me is commanding me to do some impossible task for a long time, like years, the feeling of having an infinity put in front of you gives me chills. When I dream that I wake up trembling and scared and sometimes still half asleep. It's too fucking scary, like a fever dream , like zooming on a fractal for eternity. I get chills just thinking about that feeling of impotence

> tfw you read so much Lovecraft that you turn every horror description into something "ineffably indescribable."

I have dreams like that too nowadays. It's weird because there's a feeling that pervades it like the power is ersatz, or incredibly petty, or an offense to nature. There is something flawed about it. Not at all like the raw terror of my childhood, which had meaning. Not sure what it's about.
