Couldn’t wake up! Extreme nightmare

This just happened. At 5:20am I wanted to get this off my chest before I forget because you know how these dreams are. The dream started out very normal. I was with a bunch of random women in the hot spring, which didn’t raise my suspicions, I’m a woman too. It seemed like we were a part of like some group or something. We were very excited and happy to be outside like a feeling of freedom…. as soon as I jumped in the pool the scene changed cause I don’t remember how I got home, but I was at my house with my boyfriend and I was trying to use the computer to do something and it started hitting me that it was a dream. Well, not that it was a dream but Things around me were fake and I started freaking out. I tried to use the computer and nothing would work only one button on the screen like it was set to only work for certain things like what it wanted you to do I don’t know, but it was extremely fake once I realize that all things went LEFT!!!! I went up to my boyfriend and told him that we were being watched everything around us is fake and they probably have wires in the house listening to us so I was whispering to him and begged him to get our stuff so we can leave And as we are leaving, we were on this road that we passed earlier in my dream at some point because I remembered seeing this specific man, he was on the side of the road doing something and we passed him again. It was obvious he seen us because his whole body turned out direction and it seemed like he was getting closer along with other people and cars heading our way. I started to scream as loud as I could but nothing was coming out.i know i had to be yelling in my sleep because my throat was sore and idk how to explain but i can feel myself screaming in my dream and that’s what usually gives it away that im dreaming. (Realization hits) I couldn’t even speak , but I kept trying to tell my boyfriend to drive faster, but the car kept slowing down, and when I looked back, there was people after us, we were being chased, and I could not wake up, no matter how much I scream, no matter how much I shook, no matter how much I begged and in front of us a man came out and it was a bright light, but I feel like he shot my boyfriend and it woke me up and I was in tears. I’ve been crying for the past 15 minutes because I haven’t lucid dream in a long time and I have insomnia so I don’t barely get any sleep without some type of strong sleep medicine. It’s like no matter how much time passes how much older I get they just get worse. This one felt so bad. I thought I wasn’t going to wake up and I think that was the most scary part of it all I felt like I had no control. I’m typing this with literal tears in my eyes. Does it ever get better? Does anyone have any suggestions if I couldn’t dream at all I would choose it because at this point, I don’t think I could tolerate it. More specifically the fucking nightmares. I’m a wreck right now

Road trip through the Southwest (NV/ UT/ CO/NM) — looking for advice, safety tips, and support

Hey everyone,

I’m a female traveler planning a 7-day road trip through the Southwest (Utah, Colorado, Nevada, and New Mexico) from July 29 – Aug 5, and I wanted to share what I’m doing and ask for advice from women who’ve done similar trips.

This is a really big step for me — I’m planning a long drive through multiple states, staying flexible with my route, and building a small travel/docu-series experience out of it. I’ll be stopping in different towns and areas along the way, mostly based on recommendations and real local input. I’ll be interviewing locals exploring lore on secret govt programs and underground bases also traveling to UAP hotspots in the southwest

I’m excited, but I’m also being realistic — I know travel (especially as a woman) comes with its own set of challenges, especially in more remote parts of the Southwest.

What I’m hoping for: • Safety tips for long drives through rural/desert areas • Advice on places or situations to avoid as a female traveler • Recommendations for safe, welcoming stops or towns along these routes • Tips for staying alert, prepared, and comfortable on long stretches of road • Honestly anything you wish you knew before doing a trip like this.

I’m trying to be as prepared and grounded as possible while still being open to the experience and the people I meet along the way.

If you’ve done a trip a bit similar or even just know the Southwest well), I’d really appreciate any advice or insight you’re willing to share. Even small tips help more than you know.

Thank you in advance 💛

Doing a 7-day road trip through the Southwest (UT / CO / NV / NM) — looking for locals, stories, and places worth stopping

Hey everyone,

I’m planning a 7-day road trip through the Southwest from July 29 – Aug 5, going through Utah, Colorado, Nevada, and New Mexico.

I’m building a small documentary-style project out of it, but honestly I’m just trying to base the route on real people and real knowledge instead of just guessing stops off Google Maps.

Right now I’m looking for: • Local recommendations for places worth stopping at (not tourist traps) • People who actually know their area well and wouldn’t mind sharing insight • Interesting regional stories tied to towns, roads, or landscapes • Anyone open to being interviewed or just pointing me in the right direction

I’m not trying to make it overcomplicated—I just want to make sure I’m actually seeing and documenting things that matter to the people who live there.

If you know any spots, or you’re someone local to any of these states and don’t mind sharing ideas, I’d really appreciate it.

Planning a 7-day Southwest field documentary (abandoned places / remote sites / hidden history) — looking for local knowledge

Hey everyone,

I’m putting together a small independent 7-day road project through the Southwest (late July 29 – Aug 5) focused on documenting abandoned places, remote locations, and overlooked historical sites across Utah, Colorado, Nevada, and New Mexico.

I’m not part of a big production team — just a woman building a field-based documentary-style route and trying to connect with people who actually know these areas beyond what shows up in Google searches or travel lists.

What I’m looking for: • Abandoned structures, towns, or forgotten infrastructure • Remote or lesser-known locations worth respectfully documenting • Places with interesting history that aren’t widely talked about • Local knowledge from people who’ve spent time exploring or living in these regions • Photographers / explorers who know legal, accessible spots worth visiting • Any “don’t miss this if you’re in the area” type recommendations

I’m approaching this with respect for land access rules and local boundaries — I’m not looking to trespass or do anything reckless, just document what’s legally accessible and historically interesting.

The goal is to build a route that blends visible history with hidden or overlooked places that most people pass by without knowing the context.

If anyone has suggestions, stories, or is open to sharing locations or pointing me in the right direction, I’d really appreciate it.

Traveling Through the Southwest— Looking for Places, Stories, and Possible Interviews

Hey everyone — I’m planning a road trip through the Southwest U.S. (Nevada → Arizona → New Mexico) and wanted to reach out to people who know the area well or just have interesting local insight.

I’ll be passing through places like Rachel, Sedona, Roswell, and surrounding desert areas, and I’m documenting the journey through short-form video content.

The focus is on the landscape, small-town culture, and the stories tied to these places — especially anything related to UFO lore, unexplained experiences, or just interesting local history and perspectives.

If anyone has:

recommendations for stops or viewpoints local stories or history worth sharing or is open to a quick on-camera conversation/interview while I’m in the area

I’d really appreciate it.

Also open to connecting with locals or creatives in those areas if there’s interest in collaborating while I’m passing through.

Seeking feedback plus collaborators for low budget docu-series shoot (Southwest US)

Seeking Feedback + Collaborators for Low-Budget Mobile Documentary Shoot (Southwest U.S.)

Hey everyone — I’m starting a small indie travel/documentary-style project and looking to connect with other creatives or producers who are into hands-on storytelling work.

The idea is a low-budget, mobile shoot across the Southwest U.S. (Nevada → Arizona → New Mexico), filming places like Rachel, Sedona, Roswell, and surrounding desert towns.

It’s a fast-paced, simple small setup, real locations, real people, and a focus on atmosphere and conversations around UFO culture and unexplained stories. Nothing overly staged or overproduced.

We’d be filming and putting out short-form content while traveling, then building everything into a longer-form documentary-style piece later on.

Right now I’m mainly in pre-production and trying to connect with people who have experience in: • indie or run-and-gun production • documentary storytelling • editing / field shooting • or just creative collaboration in general

Open to feedback, advice, or potential collaboration if it makes sense.

Looking for Guidance + Potential Collaboration on Small-Scale Documentary Series (Southwest U.S.)

Hey everyone — I’m in early planning for a small independent travel/documentary-style series and wanted to get some feedback from people with production experience.

It’s a low-budget, mobile shoot across the Southwest U.S. (Nevada → Arizona → New Mexico), filming places like Rachel, Sedona, Roswell, and surrounding desert areas.

The idea is simple: travel on the road, meet locals, and capture real conversations and atmosphere around UFO culture and unexplained stories — more observational than anything else, not trying to force a narrative.

It would be a very small crew (2–5 people), fast-moving setup, and we’d be shooting and uploading short-form content daily while on the road.

Right now I’m still in pre-production and mainly trying to figure out: • if a daily upload travel format is realistic • how to structure filming + editing while constantly moving • what issues people run into with projects like this

If anyone has experience producing this kind of run-and-gun or travel-based content, I’d really appreciate any advice or insight.

🎥 We’ll be filming in real time and uploading short-form content daily (TikTok/YouTube/IG), then eventually shaping everything into a longer documentary-style project.

I’m currently looking for: • editors • shooters / videographers • sound designers • interview/content support • social media helpers • or any serious creatives interested in field storytelling

The focus is on capturing real environments, conversations, and cultural perspectives around UFO folklore, remote desert towns, and the people who live in these areas (Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico).

The approach is observational and cinematic rather than narrative-driven or sensationalized.

I’m aiming for a very small, mobile team focused on: • storytelling • visual atmosphere • real-world filming • short-form content production

We’ll also be creating short-form content (TikTok/IG/YouTube Shorts) while traveling, with a larger documentary-style compilation later.

Currently looking to connect with editors, shooters, or anyone interested in experimental documentary storytelling.
