I swear to fuck (it's not like I can convincingly swear to god), if it just were not for sleep, this whole being alive thing would be at least hundred times more palatable. But, I'll get back to that in a minute or fifteen.

Yesterday, I did 1,003 words on Chapter Two of Joey Lafaye. Which was just enough that I didn't have to feel guilty. I'd have ( Read more... )

I wish you would change your recent icon. With all the talk (and photos) of snow, the body just looks so cold.

That last photo (the close up) is stunning. (waving at Spooky)

Some nice footage of bioluminescent deep-sea animals, and then some of cephalopods.

Supressing dreams is one thing. But have you ever tried to intentionally enhance them?
Or induce them?
(and I do hope they are just dreams and not nightmares)
I read once, a long time ago, in an interview with painter John Bolton, that he would induce dreams and nightmares by eating bananas a cheese before bed. I've done just that and found that it actually works! Years later, I found out why... there are chemicals present in cheese and bananas, that when combined, produce a slight amount of the drug DMT.

Yes. And yes.

I actually have a lot of trouble distinguishing between nightmares and the other sort of dreams. My dreams are so extremely vivid (without enhancement), and I never know that I'm dreaming until after the fact, that the shock of waking and discovering that none of it was "real" effectively renders all my dreams nightmarish. Hope that made sense, because I've been out of bed maybe five minutes...
