Happened to me like a couple of days ago. I’m trying to sleep right? But my brain is just simulating me playing a game I got into recently. But like, not imagining it, actually simulating it. Half realistic too!

But it’s such an overload, like I have no control over it. It’s as if I’m actually playing the game and payin attention to every single detail irl and the only thing that prevents me from actually thinking I’m playing the game are my senses. This goes on for like 3 HOURS or something and then I get up from my bed in frustration and go “wtf am I doing? I’m not actually playing the game why can’t I just think calmer toughts instead?”

And then lay down again and GOTCHA BITCH WE’RE NOT DONE YET

this happens VERY rarely to me. Like that day I was kind of sick too, but I also remember like a couple of years ago when I had a similar thing where my mind was “solving” some equation rhat didn’t actually exist. I was half asleep after waking up and spend like a good half an hour or somehing while sitting on a toilet doing calculations in my mind until I snapped like “wait, wtf am I even doing???”

So yea anyone else experience that or is it just me

    they call that dreaming

    ok but sometimes when i’m sorting and i’m really tired and literally falling asleep, my brain will start generating this fake 4tran. like i’ll try to press on the screen and in my head i’m typing a reply, but then i wake up and realize i just had a microsleep and only imagined that. that’s usually when i finally put the phone down and go to sleep

      No it is a conscious thought trust me it’s very draining. Like I don’t know how many of those 3+ hours was spent actually sleeping but most of it was me half awake trying to think of something else and failing completely

      Also I know you!!! Hello bestie whom I recognize!!! :>
