    Jesus Christ, I leave for one day, and everyone decides that's when they're going to post everything. And beavo, the ointment rubbing thing gave me this mental picture of you as a supervillain with a horde of forumers eager to do your evil bidding. It could be the lack of sleep, or it could be the tea biscuits. Also, Loomdun, I seriously can't figure you out. When I first came back, I thought, jeez, this guy posts drunk a lot. But you never sobered up...

    Last night I dreamt me and someone else were planning on committing suicide by falling off a really high waterfall, but before the edge we perched on an iceberg and I wondered why I was planning on ever doing that, and swam back to the shore.

    There was more to the dream, but that was the most interesting part that I remember.

    [edit] On the conversation path of dreams.

    That Jung one MT described seems really far-fetched. I guess if you're a kind of person that knows of architecture, it's possible, but I know so little about identifying architecture that the idea of noticing it in a dream seems bizarre.

    Ah! No, that was Jung's own dream and his interpretation of it. But yes, Jung states that you'll dream with that you're familiar with and attribute meaning according to what you know (duh!). He would often research his subjects dreams to accurately descifer their meanings, be them theological, architectural, mythological or cultural.

    Jung was the man. I'm gonna call my dog Jung or Guttenberg. Maybe Jung Guttenbert!

    The good news, we didn't draw eggs.
    The bad news, we had to draw eggs with lines on them.

    I get the point of the exercise... but god it's mind numbing to spend 2.5 hours drawing an egg with lines on it...

    I generate alcohol so I never have to drink it was how I adapted to my environment, like how giraffes adapted with longer necks to eat the food that no other animal can reach.

    My dreams I seem to always end up reading something or doing math, like one time I whent to the cash register and she was like "that'll be 2.37" so I gave her 2 dollars a quarter a dime and 2 pennies, or I'm walking along a mountain and then I see writing along a wall and I start reading it.

    So I was walking around Chinatown earlier today with my buddy Dorian, and we find an arcade in this hole-in-the-wall mall area that carried a Marvel vs. Capcom 2 arcade cabinet. We did not hesitate to plunk down our hard earned quarters on a few rounds, and we were either going to play till our eyes bled or until our next class started up.

    Unfortunately, the damage must have been crazy ramped up or something, because I was able to take down my buddy's teammates with a few well-placed hits. I'm not used to having my Venom take out Wolverine in six blows.

    Long story short the fights lasted at best twenty seconds before we ran out of quarters. What a gyp!

    I have never had a "naked in public" dream, until I started thinking a lot about how I'd never had one.

    Then I had a dream where that happened, briefly, in my school cafeteria...and everyone looked at me and I said, "Oh, so this is what it's like [to have this kind of dream]"

    Horribly underwhelming.

    This can be referred to as the texture of time.

    Constantly being exposed to new things makes that time seem longer. School does this a lot.

    Once your out you and fall into a rythm youll more likely be suprised each time the month changes.

    I still haven't had one of those dreams. To be honest, I doubt I ever will (though one never knows). Honestly, I remember a dream usually about once every few months, and often times they fade from my memory really quickly once I wake up.

    I've never had a naked dream either, and whenever I have any form of dream with anything fantasy like it always requires me to think to much. Like I have to put all my concentration for something magical-like to happen and then it sucks anyways and sometimes nothing doesn't even happen because I wasn't concentrating on it enough, or i'm KINDA flying, and then I lose my train of thought.

    Then lose it and dive/fall into a random object and i keep trying to fly again and falling face first after I run a bunch then dive into the air and go "UGH FLYING SUCKS ASS" those dreams piss me off.

    Edit: I usually give up trying to fly and I just run to where I was wanting to go.

    I keep having dreams where I fall from high places.

    They say it's a good thing that you wake up right before you hit the ground, because if you die in your dream, you die in real life.

    Well, I've never woken up before hitting the ground. Every single time I smash into the ground and it hurts like a bitch, then I get up, dusting myself off and swearing like a truck driver.

    Talk about hitting you out of the blue:

    When I was thirteen, I saw this girl on tv, same age as me, being interviewed. I immediately had a crush on her and thought to myself, "wow, she's so hot. I should make it my life's goal to meet her!"

    Needless to say I had a crush on someone else a few hours later. I was thirteen, after all.

    But I was sitting here, looking through myspace, and I realized that I was looking at the profile of the girl I'd seen on TV 19 years ago. It suddenly hit me in the face like a truck:

    As it turns out, I went out with her once about three years ago. She was hot, and she was nice, but she just didn't have whatever it was that makes me interested in someone.

    I'm kinda glad I didn't remember who she was, I might have been pretty intimidated when I went out with her.

    @dreams: I usually don't have any that i remember. The ones I do end up being short 30 second bits of sound and one to two very specific images that lead to some head scratching deja-vu moments a few weeks later. I mean, exactly alike in every which way.

    As far as I know, that shouldn't be possible, but that's what happens.

    If only it were something important i saw in my dream, its always "song + my friends expression is a specific room" or "friend says something specific and a car blares its horn, car is some kinda rare car (for the area)

    its fucking weird.

    Impossible, blockbuster only keep rubbish movies on their shelves. If it's not retardedly simplistic they don't want to know about it. It's not really about the money though, it's about slotting it into my schedule that demands I make my movie watching decisions wisely. I only get the time to watch approx. one flick a week.

    I get this all the time, except it's months and sometimes years later. Very peculiar, I'm assuming it's just a coincidence rather than any ability on my part to see into the future, though it would be pretty rad if it was.
