Today, I woke up panting and drenched in sweat from a horrible nightmare. I'd been dreaming that bright, colored shapes were falling from the sky and I couldn't make them all neatly align with one another on the ground. I guess I should stop playing so much Tetris before bed. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I dreamt that I was using the toilet. The toilet was a dream, but the rest wasn't. My pants were soaked. FML
Today, I had a dream in which I was playing tennis. As I hit a powerful serve, I suddenly woke up due to having slapped myself in the face. FML
Today, I woke up following one of the worst nightmares of my life. I was sweating, clutching the sheets, and feeling sick to the stomach. I'd been dreaming of my wedding that's taking place next week. FML
Today, I had a dream in which I was having a panic attack. When I woke up, I was actually having a panic attack. Double the fun. FML
Today, I had a dream I was going the bathroom. I then woke up peeing, but I didn’t wet the bed yet. As I ran to the bathroom while half asleep and in the dark, I rammed into the wall. On my way back to bed, I tripped and accidentally slapped my fiancé in an effort to stop myself from falling over. FML
Today, I had a weird dream I woke up on the bathroom floor at my local gym. Turns out it wasn't a dream, and I passed out from "overworking myself". I was on the treadmill for under 5 minutes, walking. FML
Today, I had terrible nightmares and woke up several times because of them, as well as my roommates having a pen and paper session downstairs. I had to get up at 6:30 a.m. and sit through a whole day of team training at work, barely staying awake. FML
Today, I woke up with a pounding headache. My wife tells me that last night I woke up from a nightmare, screaming, tried to run away, and knocked myself out running headfirst into the bedroom wall. So she put me back to bed and went back to sleep. FML
Today, I had a dream in which I was throwing up. Turns out it wasn’t a dream and I woke up to puke all over the bed. FML
Today, my laziness reached an all-time high. I had a dream that I was at school and had spilled all the contents of my backpack onto the floor. I then purposely shook myself out of my sleep to avoid cleaning up the mess in my dream. FML

There's no such thing as too much Tetris

Well there could be worse games to play before bed that might make for worse dreams!

I used to get this a lot, it's actually a recognised condition where you can't stop seeing tetris blocks falling after playing too much! Can't remember what it's called though

It's called the Tetris effect or Tetris syndrome.

My most recent nightmare that had to deal with playing a game right before bed would be alien isolation. ******* terrifying crouching down hallways so the alien doesn't find you and hiding in lockers. Promised I wouldn't do that again....so much for that until I finished the game. But I've had weird dreams from reading books and playing sudoku before I go to sleep.

No offence but I bet I will still get thumbs down for this, but my theory is that Tetris has a plan to take over the world by giving everyone OCD because they won't align right, then torture everybody with photos stained and things until they obey their commands.. Jk! Jk! OCD isn't very nice and I'm just trying to make the most out of this weird nightmare. I don't know if you accctually have OCD or not, OP, but jf you don't, don't think you do just because of a game.. Hope you stop having nightmares!! ??

Tetris helps with brain function, so in a way you are actually doing good for it. I say keep playing.

This is actually a confirmed mental dysfunction called Tetris Syndrome. Cases of it have been documented for almost 20 years. Welcome to the machine!
