Posted this to another forum around 1:00am this morning.

I can’t remember the last time I’ve woken up from sleep because of a nightmare. I’m currently 30 hours deep into a fast (no food or liquids) because I’ve got a body fat tape test at 7am, and I’m nervous about it. Can only hope it’s because of that.

I was at a house party and everyone was standing around talking in little groups for a while. The host and his buddy were sitting on the couch playing PlayStation. One guy in a white t-shirt and white ball cap was walking around introducing himself as Steve. Nobody knew who he was.

Cut to me falling on the floor as I hear someone scream “there’s a school shooter! Get out!” and an inordinate amount of people sprint out of the house in all directions. I’m just in shock thinking that this is the end. I hear the host and his buddy start mockingly saying “it’s Steve, it’s Steve,” and I assume that they started the rumor, because I don’t hear any gunshots or any more screaming now that everyone is gone. I start to laugh and stand up.

The door five feet to my front-left is thrown open and in steps a guy wearing the same white t-shirt and ball cap, and I see he has a pistol. I’m speechless and again frozen in fear, with chills going over my body. The host and his buddy start yelling and running away, and I feel myself wake up.

These chills are still rolling over me as I type this. I’ve never had such a vivid nightmare before. The details didn’t seem to change completely inexplicably; the house layout (one I’m sure I’ve never been in) and Steve’s outfit stayed the same throughout the dream.

If this turns out to be some sort of premonition, I’m going to have a cow.

30 hours with no food or LIQUIDS? Yep, that’s your brain telling you something. Are you not drinking any water even?

"A lack of water will also impact other bodily functions. Without adequate water intake:


    • Your body temperature won’t stay regulated.
    • Your electrolytes will be unbalanced.
    • Your joints may not work properly.
    • Your brain may swell.
    • Your blood pressure may increase or decrease."

I appreciate the tips guys. Fortunately this isn't a regular thing, and it was only necessary because I didn't work hard enough during the summer. I generally drink plenty of water.

Interesting. 30 hours isn't that long to dry fast if you aren't doing a manual labor job. Could be the fast but I've gone longer than that when my GP flares -- like 72 hours with no weirdness. BUT ... I don't work outside in the heat when I'm in a flare and if I can't get anything down after 72 hours I go to an IV nutrition place and get fluids.
