When I was a teenager, I went on an overseas trip and had trouble finding transportation. I worried I'd get robbed if I fell asleep, so I stayed awake for around 60 hours. It was an interesting experience. After a while, you start to dream while you are still awake, and you see your dreams as hallucinations projected in front of you. Your body just says at some point, "Fuck it, you're dreaming."
Once, also as a teenager, unloading boxcars full of 100 pound bags of sugar by hand in July, I went home and slept for over 12 hours without even turning over. I just lay in the same place on my back for that whole time.
Those shadow people at hour 40 really fuck with me
That's fucking cool as shit! I'm going to try that, I'd love to dream while being awake. The unloading box cars no thanks, too old for that!
