I can't beleive I did that!

Uh, last night I had this dream that involved me and two other people doing this asignment out in nature for some reason. We, aparently, started doing it at like 9 am. We finally finished it, and I was releived! Then, my mom appeared and told me that it was 6 pm! I was doing my homework that whole time! I got really mad and sad!

Then, out of nowhere, a cafeteria type table showed up, and I was sitting on it. This lady was in front of me sitting, and my mom beside her. I was crying and was still very mad because it took that long! The lady said something to me, and I called her the b word! Then, I just started crying again, head down. I did this because I was upset, obviously.

The point is, I am not the kind to swear, especially calling someone a swear word! I'd never do that, even if they were being the b word. Why do you think that I did this?

Amplification of emotion, I'd say. Emotions tend to be stronger in dreams, as the portion of our brains that controls emotions is more active in dreams than when we are awake. In addition, the logic center is typically inactive, which is why we're not always lucid. Thus, any strong emotion in dreams can be much more powerful than in waking life.

Basically, you were frustrated and upset — more-so than you would have been in the same situation were it real — and blurted it out. Emotion-to-mouth, no logic center to get in the way to tell you not to say it.

That's my scientific two cents, anyway. :)

What is the "b-word"?

But anyhow, it doesn't matter what it means, you shouldn't be upset because you said a swear word.

To swear actually has a stress-relieving effect.

You could also by never swearing suppress emotion and anger, and that will easily express itself in dreams.

Lol, I guessed so. But I don't see why it's necessary to call it b-word.

She doesn't like to swear.

Thank you! That answer totally makes sense! That's why I asked it, to see if anyone had any good answers, and someone did!

On the contrary, I only had 2 lucid dreams i can remember but every nightmare i have has realistic physics and events acceptable entirely within the relm of the wake. All my dreams contain some form of logic, I cant fly, shit doesnt appear and disappear. Its almost as if the logic center of my brain is still functioning a bit, in some way.

Its like an organic unreal 5 engine.
