I watched a doco on the power of the human mind yesterday. Was sooooooooooooooooo damn cool. 1 thing I found particularly interesting was lucid dreaming. Whilst we sleep, our brains catalogue and store our daily memories (which is why we often dream about things that occured during the day). Lucid dreaming is basically being aware you're dreaming and controlling it. The fascinating thing with this is it can be quite a useful tool. I've had dreams myself where I come up with an idea I'm struggling for in the past in regards to Tafe and Uni, and it's actually possible for this to happen. Einstein came up with his theory of relativity when he dreamt he was travelling on a chair @ the speed of light, and artists like Salvador Dali actually come up with their ideas in their sleep, which I found incredibly interesting

The aphex twin wrote an ambient (not enya ambient -WEIRD ambient and worth a listen) album while lucid dreaming because he allegedly knows how to induce the state through lots of practise.

The album is called SAW II (selected ambient works volume two) and it's awesome.

And so is lucid dreaming. Happened to me once when Iwas about 8. I was having a nightmare. But almost all my dreams are nightmares for some reason

[angelbel]

Lucid dreaming is quite fascinating. There is also a strong link between lucid dreaming and sleep paralysis.

I was listening to Dr Karl the other day, the guy who invented awesome, and he said dreaming is your memories from the day being compressed and sorted into your long term memory depending on relevance and emotional response from the dreams.

Anyhow, lucid dreaming is usually because you're not in the complete deep sleep that proceeds REM and therefore you remember it because of your heightened state of consciousness. When you can't remember the night before during a hard bender, it's because the alcohol has sedated you, rather than allowed real sleep, so your brain doesn't properly compress the memories.

Cool stuff.

[ohdee]

Ah; sleep paralysis, my forte. I've seen a friend fall into what I could only refer to as "waking sleep paralysis" where he half passed out and woke up stunned; unable to move.
I've also seen this guy snort more than one pill at a time though so......*





*(not that there's anything wrong with that; builds character)

[heist]

man i remember when everyone on teknoscape was getting sleep paralysed. there was like an epidemic for a while there.

I know that is one of the widely accepted theories, but that just cannot be true for everyone. It certainly can't be true for me.

One night last week I dreamt I was pregnant to a guy I went to high school with who I haven't seen or spoken to in nearly 10 years, and who now lives in London. No part of that dream had anything to do with anything that had happened that day.

...on the internet.

lol you took the words right out of my fingertips... imo, all mega drug related

[angelbel]

I've been having sleep paralysis 'episodes' since I was a little girl.
It's not always drug related.

That is incorrect and based on faulty '1950s' science, as there is plenty of contrary evidence to be found.

Dr Karl is indeed very smart, he just needs to be careful on making assertions when he should be suggesting theories.

Yeah he doesn't believe in UFOs either, so pffff

i take it back, only for you though, only for you, as you have stood your ground

but people don't want theories, they want assertions.

I think you are being a dick.

Most excellent!

Though I will agree that when I went through a phase of having episodes almost everynight it was in all liklihood exacerbated by drug use. Tsk tsk. Naughty.

[ohdee]

lol mine aren't drug related


hahahahah

ha

Brain re-sorting your memories maybe? Like a computer de-fragmenting a hard drive.

Yeah but 10 year old memories combined with what... the future?
No no, my subconcious is just whack. It makes absolutely no sense. And there is no rhyme or reason for the things I dream most of the time.

[ohdee]

I honestly don't think there's a great deal of relevance to anything ANYONE dreams - you're just smart enough not to accept the "OMG THIS STARSIGN REALLY *DOES* DESCRIBE ME IN VERY LITTLE DETAIL!" aspect of it.

I am, though. I'm exactly that dumb.

[dart]

don't get your knickers in a twist burny

It's sorting, and moving, and changing. So there's all these memories flying around. That's the way I see it and have interpreted it

Well just because they're in the same dream doesn't mean they're related surely? I mean in my experience most people's dreams combine things that are pretty massively unrelated to each other anyway *le shrug*

i have a very straightforward mind - the bits of dreams that i remember i can usually relate pretty directly to the events of the day, or something that's weighing on my mind.. there's not usually much mystery.

mates of mine are heaps different. one of 'em is a pretty regular dude but dreams regularly about really horrific shit.

[AngryJungMan]

hey fuck you too

Like Salvador Dali.
"A CLOCK, a FIRE, A GALLEON and a DESERT? Sounds like a great subject for a cryptic statement about the human condition"

[Nyx]

I had a dream I had a son who had a name that I had never heard of (consciously, at least) and then I googled the name when I woke and it was all too real and meaningful and shit. I was even correcting people's pronunciation of the name in the dream.

[Zoso]

haha could have sworn I saw Ohdee riding along on a little bicycle on the way home, did a double take in any case haha

[irvan]

Yeah something like over 400 000 movements a year. I can see how it's so busy, when I am waiting the holding area there are usually at least 5 other planes there too, plus a couple lining up to take off. When I take off we have to do it quickly as there is alway a plane landing as I'm lifting off!

[~alicia~]

Dear Universe,

Our little Tigger was playing with his Mum in the backyard on Sunday when a huge downpour scared him into hiding or running. We havent been able to find him since
Please look over our little guy & bring him home.
We miss him heaps & I cant sleep knowing he might be out in the cold.



Thankyou in advance,
Alicia xoxo

[Nyx]

Oh, what a beautiful darling.

Please go home Tigger. Please be safe.

[Orestes]

I have written some of my best songs in my dreams.
I forget them as soon as I wake up though

[ohdee]

haha could have sworn I saw Ohdee riding along on a little bicycle on the way home, did a double take in any case haha

It was the ghostie me. He sometimes flees when I'm bored at work and does fun things for me like ride a little bike around and smoke a scoob in a garden


PS I LEFT THE HOUSE LAST NIGHT WOO

[Ange]

[CountBlackula]

inadvertently caused a 3 car pile up in the tunnel east bound at 7.30 this morning.

something flew off a truck (or tyre blew) in front of the car in front of me.. car in front of my braked hard.. i braked hard and swerved between car and wall of tunnel... we both survived... car behind me seemed to cop it.. as did the one behind that...

lesson people.. don't drive so close in wet weather.. only my precision driving skills saved me this morning.

because i am fantastic at everything. including driving in dangerous wet conditions.

[angelbel]

I honestly thought that today was the 29th of June and that tomorrow is the 30th.
Things make a lot more sense now that I know that today is the 30th!

[Orestes]

I'm scared.

[nVs]
