Odd sleeping experience - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Grasshopper Green · 11-17-2004, 08:01 PM

My aunt used to own this oversized beanbag that I would sleep on every time I visited her. I noticed that when I slept on it, I would often have good dreams. This went on for several years (I stayed at her house during summers when I was in school). I lived with her for a few months when I started college and she was getting some new furniture. I asked her if she was planning on keeping the pillow, and I casually mentioned the dream thing to her. She told me that several people had mentioned the very same thing to her, and that was the reason she never had it re-upholstered. It was 20 years old, bright red, and definitely did NOT match her decor. I just found it odd that several people had slept on it and had the same experience as I did.

It's fairly obvious to me that aliens sent the ghost of Elvis to haunt your aunt's pillow and give it a benevolent aura. This has probally been done to keep the CIA from reading your mind while you sleep.

I distinctly remember having written a line in the rules about this not being the nonsense board.

sounds wierd. I have a couch that is similar to it. It's in storage now, but everytime someone would come over, it doesn't matter if they were tired or not, they would sit on it, and in ten minutes or less they would be fast asleep. One of my friends actually fell asleep on it, and slept there for three days straight only getting up to take a piss after 24 hours, and stayed there in the same spot for the other 2 days before getting up. Nothing could wake him up on that couch.

Maybe it's just so damn relaxing and comfortable?

superiorrain · 11-18-2004, 02:38 PM

What about its red colour. Maybe the red influences the brain, so just before you go to sleep and you thing ah red isn't that plesant, thus good dreams. Either that or red conducts good energy vibes like dream catchers, catch bad dreams.

How good exactly were these dreams? i always forget mine once i awake unless they scared the shit out of me.

Dirty · 11-18-2004, 02:47 PM

i always thought that red was a color of pasion or anger. So how can being angry influence good dreams? but also i want to add that beanbags rocks and mold to your form so you can definitely get comfortable in them. i need to go get one!

Grasshopper Green · 11-18-2004, 03:52 PM

The dreams were better than your average dream, dreams that you would wake up feeling happy for some odd reason...I rarely remember my dreams either, but almost always would when I slept on the beanbag. The beanbag itself was really comfortable, but my legs always hung off the side of it and were on the floor the whole night.

Dirty · 11-18-2004, 04:56 PM

so comfort is the way to have great dreams!! everyone note that! i will have to try it tonight but my bed feels like a rock!

joeshoe · 11-19-2004, 05:34 PM

Comfortable bean bag, then?

Bauh4us · 11-23-2004, 01:08 AM

Do you think it is only the bean bag or a combination of things surrounding the bean bag. Is your aunts house kept at higher temp? Does the house have a nice smell? Did you ever try moving the bean bag to another location (outside the house maybe) and having some other people sleep on it? I guess maybe I am getting a little too scientific here...

onewolf · 11-23-2004, 05:07 PM

Maybe auntie gets up in the middle of the night and fondles her guests while they sleep. No offense, just throwing theories out there to consider...

Zeraph · 11-23-2004, 05:59 PM

Maybe she hides her stash there?

Grasshopper Green · 11-24-2004, 11:57 AM

Hmmm...I've only slept on it in her previous house, although in several different rooms. I should spend the night at her new house and sleep on it and see if it still works. AND, I highly doubt the fondling and stash stuff, but ya never know!!!
