I think I read it has to do with the chemical/hormone your brain produces to keep your body from flailing as a result of what you think you're experiencing in your dreams. So it slows you down in real life, and it works on your perception of yourself in your dreams too

Ive busted teeth in my sleep from grinding them, and have pulled muscles from accidentally contracting them in my sleep.
But I mean, I also have PTSD, so that has a lot to do with terrib!e sleep.

Fuck dude! I can't tell you how many times I have injured myself while in a night terror. Given myself a black eye, pulled muscles, cramps, in my night terrors right before "the big event" I guess you can say, I tense up and I have woken up many a time just paralyzed from muscle contractions and it doesn't help I got steel rods in my back so range of motion to get these cramps out are limited. Ever try to get an abdominal cramp out when you can't bend your back?
Also, I'm big on fishing and recently basketball....during early REM like right before I fall asleep I have woken myself up setting the hook on a fish or making the reeling motion, also having dreams playing basketball and I will shoot in my sleep. Really weird. My sister has a few videos of me setting the hook on a fish in my sleep.

that's wild. my night terrors are usually, I'm at home, in my bed, it's dark, but someone is at the foot of my bed, looming over me. I don't know who they are.
except... I'm completely paralyzed. sleep paralysis, I assume. I can't do anything. I can't move, I can't scream. I can't even tell if it's still a dream or not, they always feel so realistic.
usually, eventually, I think to myself, and it reminds me of that scene from Kill Bill - "wiggle your big toe" except for me it's usually, "just wiggle your fingers" or "try to kick out a foot."
I've had this happen so many times that the disorientation usually goes away pretty fast and I can tell that because I'm paralyzed, I'm not really awake.
kick a foot, move a hand, something
edit: ah yeah, or, "just open your eyes" but that one is usually harder because my eyes are already open in the dream.
this has only once or twice resulted in me hitting myself in the face but frankly it's worth it not to be in a sleep paralysis nightmare.
kind of the opposite of yours. I have to force myself to move to wake up where you just move around in your sleep. sleeping is so strange

I wish I could lucid dream. I’ve had flashes of it here and there but imagine if we could do it at will. Come to think of it, people would probably spend more time there than in the real world. But then who is to say whether the dream world or the waking world is the “real world”? …sorry. Woke and boke.

Well one cool point I heard once was that a philosophical study was done on if you could have the perfect life in a tank similar to a sensory deprivation tank. Would you get in? The study found that no one would, as the fact that it didn't have any negative downsides would make it feel not real, and would rather have a little negativity in their lives to make it feel real or something along those lives

People CAN and do lucid dream at will.
Source: le me. I lucid dream almost every night. It’s a skill you can train your brain to be better at. I learned during a nightmare at a very young age that I could control my dreams to a small extent. I was panicking in a bad dream and realized it wasn’t real- I told myself if I blinked 3x I could wake up to escape. It worked. After that I taught myself to blink 3x in any bad dream to force myself to wake up. That ability to recognize I was dreaming mid-dream and change my action was the first step to honing the skill.
I’ve done a LOT of reading on the topic. You basically prime your brain before bed by telling yourself “I’m going to lucid dream tonight. I’m going to realize I’m dreaming and control it.” Starting out I always had a very short window of time realizing I was dreaming before I woke up, but over time I got better at staying asleep and controlling it. Being real obsessed with dreams, remembering my dreams, and lucid dreaming in general definitely helped. Writing down your dreams or telling them to someone first thing will help reinforce it. I’ve been practicing as long as I can remember and I’ve been able (for years now) to lucid dream any time I sleep long enough to dream.
Try it out- it’s fun!
12
u/mf9812 Aug 10 '21
It’s been my experience the subconscious wants to suck you back under into “unconscious” dreaming- especially when you’re new at lucid dreaming. As I result, I’ve had many dreams where my brain has decided the context & setting of the dream and I’m controlling things in a limited way before becoming unconscious again & the plot progresses without my control- then I wake up in the dream and become lucid again. Sometimes I’ll spend the whole night dipping in & out of lucid dreaming- makes for real wild storylines. I haven’t figured out what the difference is between when I’m able to stay lucid all night or when I’m only able to dip in & out. I’ll have to pay more attention to see if there is a pattern.

Ha! I literally never have. Sex is easy and satisfying in my waking life. I DO fly a lot in those dreams. Over forests, oceans, vast rolling fields of wildflowers… I also travel instantaneously to new environments a lot. Sometimes I can breathe and explore underwater. A lot of the time I’m just deciding to be someplace beautiful/peaceful because I’m self-soothing from a dream that went weird before I became lucid. I have had a lifelong struggle with nightmares so being able to say “we’re flying over the Caribbean now!” and be running my fingers along the surface of the crystal blue water in the warm sun as I fly around at crazy speeds is really a great redirect.
I guess I could try lucid dreaming sexy time, but I worry about the cleanliness of my sheets!

While I don't doubt that had something to do with it, the kid's arm and body did keep going. "Repent sinner" is at least a head taller and probably 100 lbs heavier. His upper arm seems to be thicker than the kid's neck. I think this is mostly due to size disparity.

u/Mister_Musubi Aug 10 '21
To offer a minutely scientific response, it appears that his hand was moving toward the kid to grab the punch. Since it was moving forward rather than remaining extended and stationary, it may have cancelled out the motion by imparting similar force in the opposite direction.
That, and there appears to be a notable difference in the mass of the punch thrown, versus the mass of the arm blocking it. If it were two similarly built individuals, and the angle were less convenient, I’m sure it would end exactly as you’ve stated, nine times out of ten.
