dreams
Storytelling while asleep About a billion years ago in college, I used experience every dream trope (false awakening, lucid dreaming, and just extremely vivid, movie-like dreams), along with sleep paralysis (which is kind of like dreaming, but you’re awake). Now I mostly have somewhat vivid dreams if I’m lucky, and the most I can lucid dream is detect that I’m in a dream or wake up on command, but can’t control it or stay asleep. Dream Terminology False awakening— A dream where you wake up…but you’re not actually awake. You’re still dreaming and you dreamed you woke up. Bonus if you’re stuck in a false awakening loop. 😑 Lucid dreaming— The ability to control your dreams and be aware that you’re dreaming. When I had this, I basically stopped having nightmares because I could control the outcome. Sleep paralysis— Not really dream-related, but you feel like you’re dreaming. Sometimes you might wake up and realize you can’t move or open your eyes. And YMMV on this, but a lot of people sense an evil or malevolent entity nearby. IIRC, this really isn’t paranormal, but more psychological.
video games
I mostly play on the Switch (handheld gaming is really huge to me) and Windows PC. Sometimes I’ll download games for my phone, but I like playing on my Switch more. First video game was probably Super Mario 64. First console owned was the Gameboy Pocket. Favorite genre can range from shooters to RTS. I don’t really play games on mobile devices, but I like to download point-and-click games for my phone when they are free for a short period of time.
music
It took me a reeeeally long time to figure out what music I like, and I’ve decided I’m really into movie soundtrack-like music (called trailer music or epic music). Most of these aren’t made by normal music artists. They’re from music production companies (folks who make stock music for movie trailers or commercials). A lot of what’s listed here are either fast-paced and gritty or have a mystical/ethereal vibe (bonus points if all of the above), and 9/10 don’t feature any lyrics (though they might have vocalizations–people “ahhhhh”-ing for parts of the song). If you like any of the music here, please support the artists and buy their songs (most can be found on Amazon or the Apple Music store, a few can be found on Bandcamp). Thanks!

These are posts, photos, etc that I dug up from years ago, and decided to immortalize on GPORG.
