Anyone's subconscious compensating for the reality that is hell on earth?

I sleep around 12 hours (with two or three interruptions) and have such interesting, vivid, pleasant and realistic dreams.
Some of it is material for movies and / or books especially some of the more erotic stuff lol.

I actually like my job...I wish I could just sleep then work then go back to sleep to never have to think about my crappy reality again.

Sort of like dream modification ? I do that with audiobooks.

Do you mean lucid dreaming where you are in total control of what's going on?
Oddly I was only able to this when I was younger and always super disappointed when waking up.

12 hours??? Two words my insomniac ass would kill for. lol

Do you have a nootropic stack to minimise sleep interruptions and insomnia? I like sleepmaxxing to avoid living in the first place lol.

2 hours max in the last 7 months

Sort of like a psychic sudo.
I use audiobooks/videos to augment my dreams to varying effect.
There's a more au natural approach by way of discipline/training
doesn't work as well.

I have developed tricks in my dreams that i use regularly
if a nightmare shows up, i drag it into space
rip "reality" open and shove said nightmare into oblivion.
that kind of thing.

I do find myself unsettled sometimes when the cheeseburger i ordered
in my dream isn't in my email yet.

so some trippiness, but the approach does help me with my anger.
i have alot of anger.
alot.
like i mean wow.
it scares me.

i was like this when I started antidepressants. miss those days. was almost enough to keep me living.

failures with lucid dreaming make me want to CTB even more...
because lucid dreaming is the only way for me to feel alive and loved :(

however, my non-lucid dreams also seem quite vivid (i'm not taking any antidepressants or drugs).

BIG TIME. I spend the 90% of my time either sleeping or daydreaming while listening to music. My biggest worry about starting my job in a few months is that I'll be woken up and have to be reminded how sad my life actually is.

I try to avoid all types of medication.

Hopefully your new job will give you a mental boost. I've had jobs that did that, usually if the people there were nice and created a fun work environment.

I'm late to this party but absolutely. However, I am foolish enough to try to change my reality to match my fantasy. Sometimes I succeed. Sometimes I fail.

I'd only ever get a job for the money, it rules over everything on this planet stupidly enough, I mean, perhaps the social interactions would be nice but I highly doubt it, depends what job and where you work.
