When I was younger I would get dreams that would solely consist of a single geometric shape "moving" in a certain way. Really hard to describe but like spinning in such a way that it will never complete its rotation. There was also this feeling of dread and a sensation very similar to nausea. I had a lot of these dreams when I had a fever but not always.

These environmental factors seem to be similar to chronic diseases that seem to have genetic markers but no known "cause" (type 1 diabetes, asthma etc) as well as lympoma cancers. Me personally, I'm a t1 diabetic and no one else in my family got the fever dreams. I talked to a lymphoma survivor and they said they got the exact same shit when they were a kid. Anway, I'm probably wrong but I just get a feeling that the EB virus fucked me up as a kid by becoming active somehow (maybe the fever dreams were the cause). >> Anonymous 12/11/20(Fri)01:53:46 No.26997684▶>>27000714 >>27009143 >>26997654 anyway, this is just a physiological explanation and a pretty far fetched one at that. what I want to know is wtf is the evolutionary point of children seeing this shit? Why do a very certain few amount of children experience this feeling of immense eternal dread when they get a fever? Because this isn't something that is widely discussed in the current zeitgeist. I mean, sleep paralysis and lucid dreaming is common as fuck but this is the second time in about 10 years I've seen this thread on /x/ and the second post points back to the forum thread that I remember was referenced on the first /x/ thread I saw on this all those years ago. I just feel like there must be some jungian/analytical explanation for why children/young people experience these dreams.

The sheer dread, guilt, terror and inevitability was what got me. I cannot describe what it was like, but I'd have these from the age of about 3 (I don't remember before then), till about 8 when they would be far less common and eventually stop. However, in other unrelated dreams I'd occasionally encounter and out of place object (for instance a pyramid made of suspended metal wires) that would set off the feeling again and make me wake up in a cold sweat.

Sometimes these would be accompanied by dreams of objects getting "incomprehensibly big" and or would be vibrating more and more until it seemed out of the realm of possibility. They were too much as to be terrifying. One object was a large grey vertical block I figured to be representing the grey coverless pillow my mom would give me to hold during these fevers. Another object was a flower, a daisy, in fact, and only once. Often times I would awake at the apex of the terror and vomit with great force. Interestingly enough in my teenage years I talk to my dad about this once while we were in teh driveway. He said he had experienced similar dreams. >> Anonymous 12/11/20(Fri)13:00:07 No.27002813▶ Has anyone had these dreams as an adult? >> Anonymous 12/11/20(Fri)13:28:35 No.27003053▶ >>26998173 Can you tell the rest of the story? >> Anonymous 12/11/20(Fri)15:28:06 No.27004225▶>>27005242 >>27001603 This very closely resembles dreams I used to have a child. I used to dream of this terrible, incomprehensibly large dark metallic... thing. And it was endlessly crushing a tiny delicate daisy, over and over and over again, and I would feel absolute despair. I also used to wake up from these dreams and vomit so hard it felt like my face was being pulled away from my skull. I had these dreams so long ago that I'm not entirely sure if I was sick with a fever at the time or if these were just regular nightmares, but this dream in particular has stuck with me my whole life. >> Anonymous 12/11/20(Fri)16:20:23 No.27004711▶ >>26997385 (OP) What about patterns or certain plants?

I had an experience not nearly as bad as yours but unpleasebt. I was in an infinite white space and my mom was holding me against her chest, whispering reassuringly to me but also yelling very loudly at the same time, the sound of which made me scared, sad and uncomfortable. for years after that, sounds that reminded me of that dream, such as a bathroom fan or the plants versus zombie theme song, would put me back into an uncomfortable head space, reminiscent of the dream. On top of that, as a kid a lot of the time when I was falling asleep, my hands would feel like they are very thin and long, or like they were covered in concrete. I still get this sometimes when meditating but not very often. >> Anonymous 12/11/20(Fri)17:20:00 No.27005159▶>>27006610 This may or not be geometry —- But about a year ago I had a dream so utterly horrifying I actually woke up screaming. No fever, drugs or alcohol involved. I wasn’t moving around in a space like my normal dreams. I was a bodiless conscience, and very much “me” with my thoughts and memories. In the dream I was staring at a bland white screen in front of my vision. Behind the screen or in charge of it was a faceless, bodiless entity that I felt a monstrous omniscience and omnipotence from — not like “God” — but a very powerful entity that held a great deal of malice towards me. I felt great fear. Then a kind of equation appeared on the screen, written by the entity. It made no sense to me mathematically but in the dream I could interpret it’s outcome and I realized that this monster had written a series of numbers that equaled a punishment for me that I could just barely conceive — a life of endless torture, public humiliation, shame and suffering not only for myself, and not only my heirs, but all of my ancestry as well. In the dream I remember feeling a certain smug casualness from the entity in how utterly he had destroyed me with this short equation. >> Anonymous 12/11/20(Fri)17:28:10 No.27005242▶ >>27004225 Mine were also very similar to these, from the fever dreams I can remember as a child, always some massive grey boulders that would go from being normal sized to suddenly uncomfortable to be around, they weren't excessively big in the dream but always had a sense of dread.

Then see a golden pyramid, not sure if it was floating in the air or if it was cemented underwater, at this point when i see the pyramid i always ALWAYS fell, but never into the pyramid no matter how much i wanted to at least touch it. I fell into the sea. from this point this recurring dream split into different timelines. Either i wake up in a forest but then it transforms to a 3rd person dream where i just know my body is inside a very dense vegetation area and wake up crying by that time i realize i wont be able to get into the "cigarrete shaped obejct" or get near the pyramid again. The other timeline of this dream is waking up still in my dream, on planet earth completely alone, but something made me thing or at least feel that i had to find "something very tiny" almost like a particle, else i woulnt be able to ever wake up again. Those dreams were the worst i know it was almost always in layers of earth i dont know fucking where on planet earth, yet it did feel like that dream lasted for far too long, when i started to giving up thinking i wouldnt ever find this "thing/particle" i woke up crying as if my life was being taken from me.

At the time I didn't know there was tons of hidden black mold growing in my closet, and it made me pretty sick sometimes as a result, usually vomiting, nausea, fever, headaches, and generally having a hard time breathing. One particularly bad night I fell asleep really nauseous but figured I could just sleep it off and avoid vomiting. In my dreams it was like how most of you other guys described, like I felt I had no body and was just a consciousness suspended in a huge black void, but I think it was in outer space. Anyways there are these slowly rotating meteorites that felt "alive" in some way. Overlayed on each meteor was a collection of frames of various geometric shapes in different primary and secondary colors, and they too were rotating in on themselves slowly while also flashing subtly sometimes. I kept waking up and falling back asleep at night to that dream, and each time the meteors and shapes seemed more 'intense' until it was an unbearable sensory overload that ended up with me running to the bathroom and vomiting up my dinner and ending up falling asleep on the bathroom floor absolutely exhausted. The concept of the shapes and the meteorites definitely had some kind of intelligence/sapience to them, and to this day it makes me wonder if somehow the mold was communicating its original to me. >> Anonymous 12/12/20(Sat)02:41:55 No.27009087▶ >>27009083 I should note how fucking awfully slow time passed, and how it felt like I would be stuck there and that way infinitely.

During a fever, your hypothalamus gets all sorts of fucked up and out of whack. Guess what is right next to the hypothalamus: The pineal gland There's talk of the pineal gland being responsible for the production and dissemination of DMT when we dream, and I am thinking that in kids that get these fucked up fevers, the hypothalamus which is affected by the fever in turn somehow messes with the pineal gland, perhaps somehow getting the child's underdeveloped and young pineal gland to produce extra DMT in order to cause these weird fever dreams. It could be that adult brains simply can regulate themselves better under a fever, and as a result the strange geometry is absent from our dreams. >> Anonymous 12/12/20(Sat)03:12:39 No.27009195▶ >>26997385 (OP) https://youtu.be/kbKtFN71Lfs [Embed] Sacred geometry and "terrifying" geometry are both spiritual expressions of a mathematical concept called "strange attractors", the hidden structure of the universe.
