On the other hand there’s no guarantee that you’d remember the dream if you were to sleep on.
Since I started writing down my dreams upon wakeup I can remember nearly every single dream because my brain is now trained to do that
I mean, you wouldn’t remember the ones you forgot.
Biggest mistake in regards to this that still haunts me actively was using a song I enjoyed as an alarm. I was young and stupid. Now i can’t help but hate that song whenever I hear it. Still.
Oh god same. It was an old phone without much disk space and I had exactly one song on it. And I moron used it as alarm. Now I absolutely hate that song.
No but actually tho!
You set your alarm because you have to get up. Dreams are destroyed by an obligation that forces you to wake up earlier than natural. Usually work, or something that prepared you for work like schooling.
But think of all the nighmares interrupted as well.
Have an angry upvote. Literally true.
You don’t think the sun has destroyed more dreams in both figurative and literal senses?
Or capitalism?
Maybe if you count the rooster, and Clugg banging on rocks outside the cave as alarm clocks.
Got one destroyed by the alarm clock just this morning.
This equivocates between two meanings of “dream.”
Exactly.
Sometimes this is a very, very good thing. Destroyed dreams are not always a bad thing.
