My D&D Group, More Specifically A Friend, My Mom, And I, Gaslighted A Zombie Into Decapitating Itself

My D&D group, more specifically a friend, my mom, and I, gaslighted a zombie into decapitating itself by accident. My mom’s character is Shozbot, a blue dragonborn druid. My friend is the DM. My character is Spider, a kobold rogue. This is more or less what happened.

Zombie, sitting in a throne and holding a longsword: “Who dares awaken me from my slumber?!”

Shozbot: “This is a dream. We’re not really here.”

DM, laughing: “Roll persuasion”

My mom: “Seventeen.” (This was impressive enough because she always rolls low)

Zombie: *after pondering this for a moment, cuts off own hand with the longsword, then looks at the wound, visibly confused* “I should be in immense pain right now.”

Spider: *realizing that zombies don’t feel pain because they’re already dead*

Zombie, staring at the stump of their hand, still baffled: “This isn’t a dream. It’s a nightmare.”

Spider: “But now that you’re aware that it’s a dream, you can control what happens. That’s how it works.”

Zombie: “Yes. That makes sense.”

After trying to alter the “dream,” and failing to do so, the zombie ended up intentionally using the longsword to cut off their own head. I missed some things, like the zombie mentioning that they’d be able to cut off their own hand with no pain in a dream, and Shozbot suggesting that the zombie should remove their own head instead. So, this happened less than an hour ago. And it worked. When the zombie asked why we were there, we didn’t really know what to say, so my mom, as Shozbot, said something stupid and it worked. This is part of why I love D&D so much. Because stupid things like this can happen.

whatever you do don't spread this post

Everything hurts and I’m tired and frustrated. Physically, I’m drained and I feel like shit. Emotionally, I’m drained and I feel like shit. I need to sleep for like a week. But I haven’t slept more than three consecutive hours in 20 years. At this point, if I were to sleep the eight to ten hours I’m supposed to get, it would probably be safe to assume that I’m not waking up.

I’m not ace, but that does sound like an ideal day/night/whatever. Just resting with someone. Maybe watching a movie

Let me be very clear:

When I say I want in her bed, I don't mean for sex. I mean for sleeping with her. And not "sleeping with her" aka sex.

ACTUALLY sleeping!

Cuddled up and cozy. Resting together.

Remember - if you ever see someone stealing necessities (food, water, hygiene products, baby formula, etc.), no. You didn’t see anything

ok hot spicy take or whatever: it's really funny to see the "anarchy fuck the government acab" leave left-leaning people's bodies the minute they see someone shoplifting stuff in order to survive (especially if it's a person of color) almost as if it's an aesthetic and nothing more.
