Random glasses thing

[athenaltena]

Oh yeah. You know you've had glasses for a while when you have a recurring nightmare where one of the following happens:

1. Your glasses break spontaneously in your hands/while on your face, getting cut by the glass optional
2. Someone knocks you over, your glasses fall off your face, and *crunch* someone steps on them
3. You lose them and can't find them, have to go somewhere (this is more or less the equivalent of the "go to school in just your underwear" dream)
 

Since I more or less consider them a part of my body this is a worrying concept, since it's more or less the equivalent of something happening to my eyes themselves. At a church picnic a few weeks ago I was a bit nervous that a kid I was playing with would hit me in the face with a ball and break them, since they'd break before my face did, which on the one hand is a good thing since it's not bone but also a pain since it would take a few days to replace them and in the meantime I'd have painful eye strain. In theory I could use the prescription sunglasses as a substitute, but for obvious reasons that might be awkward.

So that's the content of my anxiety dreams these days. Take from that what you will.

Odd. Think that's the one nightmare I've never had, and I've had these things since I was....10?

Perhaps a chain would help? Y'ain't lackin' in vision, if that's what you're id's thinkin.

I have "unbreakable" plastic ones, and also a cheap spare I use for all risky activities.

When i play sports i sometimes take off my glasses. I havent done it for a long time though.
When i was in the military i never took off my glasses. There was one time we had a night driving course were we had to use those see in the dark binos and they were like sure it can match your perscription. I tried for as long as there was time to but finally couldn't do it because they wouldnt let me use my glasses.
Other than that incident i forget i have them any more.

Wow, I find it odd that though I am extremely paranoid about anything bad happening to my glasses, I've never had one of these dreams. I think I am sans-glasses in all my dreams actually.

How bad is your vision without your glasses.

I'm sad to say that nowadays I notice when I forget my glasses, whereas I didn't really before.
