Not really. It seems fairly easy to go through life not jabbing an octopus into retaliation. Nothing to be afraid of here

Nightmares can be about unlikely things too. For example I once had a nightmare that involved screaming loud enough to drown out the sound of Jabba the Hutt. Not only do Hutt's not exist in real life, they're also not very loud.

While in some ways it can be scary to consider that nightmares might involve scary things that are not bound by possibility, it is usually the more realistic nightmares that cause more anxiety. It can be harder to realise that something was a nightmare if it is realistic, so you might spend a few seconds upon waking thinking that your family member really is in distress or that you are very late for work.

This is random but every time I’ve had to scream in a dream I can’t do it at all. Nothing comes out. I’ve read that happens to prevent you from screaming irl in your sleep but it freaks me out even more in the dream lol

yeah I usually get that too but when I was very young I had a batshit dream-life that included occasional night terrors and lucid dreams so I think those kinda systems weren't always working properly

In the Jabba dream IIRC I actually woke myself up by screaming in the end

Right, I’m in my 50s and have spent a decent amount of time diving. Never once been bothered by an octopus

Nah, this falls under FAFO. Just sad the octopus didn’t make it. Hope they guys has PTSD now.
