[QUOTE=Fourm Shark;25716520]I'm curious. What would happen if someone was devoid of emotion? There is a genetic defect that does that.
Hmm. Right I won't fight my fear. I say stupid things sometimes.
Well I'm still going to do the nightmare thing. As for the anti-sub becoming my friend, I'll try it. Even if it acomplishes nothing.
If I somehow defeted my worst fear, what would replace it? Would it be a new worst fear or something, worse? And what if I was a god and conqured that? What if I knew everthing about the lower levels of emotion. If I could change it. In theory, with enough will power and phsycological training, someone might be able to. Just thing of these posibilities.
If only. A chemechly induced lucid REM sleep under and IV drip. Good lord.[/QUOTE]
No idea. That's called being a sociopath, iirc.
I have no idea what would happen, but it's irrelevant because it's not possible. It's not a physical THING, it's a scenario (generally). And no, you cannot manipulate your emotional gates.

Gates?
I sense a metaphor ;D
To devoid fear is a fear itself, as it is to be less than human, unnatural... Sad...
Felt like it, I usually get sad when I know I'm suppose to be sad but I'm not.

Anyways, is there any possible way in a lucid dream to turn my view 3rd person and rather than being myself in the dream, I play as myself, like a video game.
I just had a nightmare about Facepunch, it sounds stupid but I actually had one.
I don't remember it that well now and as I just woke up, my grammar will be somewhat bad.
I was playing some game and I got killed by an enemy, I went to the megathread of that game to make a post about it.
It went something like this:
[quote]
Shit, I just got killed by a X while I was doing Y, I keep getting killed by those fucking X.
I got some pictures of me getting killed though:

[/quote]
About 5 minutes later, I got permabanned for that post, I asked a friend on Steam if he thought it was a weird ban reason too, he said something like "No, don't make rant posts about a game, it's obvious that it's going to get you perma'd."
And then I went to the Refugee Camp to make a thread about it being a stupid ban reason, but when I clicked the "New Thread" button, I wasn't sent to the new thread-page, I was sent to a web-based version of mspaint.
There was a text on top that said if you were permabanned, you had to draw a picture instead of making a thread.
I drew a really ugly looking picture that I knew wouldn't get me unbanned, but when I was going to click the button to start over from scratch it instead submitted the picture.
I got redirected to an archive of all the pictures people sent to get unbanned, all pictures were nice looking and mine looked like shit, I sent a link of the archive to my steam-friend and he replied with "Now you're never getting unbanned, even after 3 months you'll still be unable to make a new account."
Suddenly I "woke up" inside of the dream, I thought that all this never happened because I could post again then I checked my event log and I was unbanned by the same person who permabanned me with no reason.
Weird, because you were banned just a while ago.

What the hell? I was rated disagree, but when I click list, it says funny...

Nvm, buggie stuff.
Can you post the thread you were banned in.
dem subs are tricky lil suckers.
I've been wondering for a while, why do we seem to be naturally inhibited from always having lucid dreams? Why can't we automatically have them all the time?
[QUOTE=Jessbinx;25730507]I've been wondering for a while, why do we seem to be naturally inhibited from always having lucid dreams? Why can't we automatically have them all the time?[/QUOTE]
It's a territory where the conscious mind (or in simpler terms "you") is at rest. Naturally your functions are going to be very limited. That's why you can get kicked out when you become lucid, I assume. By being more aware your body thinks it's time to wake up.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
Well what the shit.
I had a lucid dream simulation in a dream.
Something like this:
Me suddenly becoming afraid of snakes, sim ended.
Some girl says that I have to say out loud that I'm dreaming.
Sim starts, I do that, and snakes turn away.
Now the funny part is that I didn't become lucid, even tho I said "I'm dreaming" so much. It should've triggered a response. Nor did I get the "rush" coming with getting lucid (and I technically was).
I sometimes dream of the future.
[QUOTE=CoolGearhead;25736504]I sometimes dream of the future.[/QUOTE]
cool story bro
I had my first dream with nonexistent technology a couple nights ago. Was very cool
Last night's dream I don't remember much of, except one part where I woke up late for college, and the gardens that I saw outside my bedroom window were strangely different from the ones I usually saw in the waking world.
Write it down in as much detail as possible
ok time to sleep again I got my entry down (6am it's east coast US)
[QUOTE=Jessbinx;25730507]I've been wondering for a while, why do we seem to be naturally inhibited from always having lucid dreams? Why can't we automatically have them all the time?[/QUOTE]
i;m going to try and answer this but im drunk and its' 4:30 in the morning and i'm tired as fucking fuck
so basically when you're awake your cells are performing actions nad when they do these actions they release a chemical which will slowly inhibit them. basically they poop and get tired and stuff
so then when you go to bed your brain is like TIME TO FLUSH YOU MOTHERFUCKERS so your brain goes into repair mode and starts to fix your cells and stuff. so when this happens there's a giant spike in GABA and ACh, both neurotransmitters. so basically they spike because it prevents your body from moving much, which would make flushing less efefctive. so also because of this our brains go into repair mode so our senses are just freefalling and stuff so your brain is like oh fuck so it makes up a dream for you and because it feels real there's no reason for you to be conscious and besides, the chemicals would make it really hard for you to notice it anyway, it's like brain novacain. so we're not naturally inhibited because it's a bad thign, we're inhitibited becaluse it's a naturall process
tl;dr brain is toilet
The only thing I remember from my dream is there being a red coffee cup that I was rinsing out, and when I turned it upside down, it still had an inside. In other words, you could put stuff in both sides of the cup, because the bottom switched sides when you turned it upside down. I cleaned both sides of the cup. Let me try to draw a picture to explain it better.

Sup guys?
This was my first 9 hour sleep for two weeks. Feels good man :frogdowns:
Anyways, Zin, if you're not too terribly hung over, would you mind translating this?

Got a few questions to ask hoping someone can tell me what it is.
I'll give a small piece of info that is relevant to one question, I work as a chef in a kitchen that uses alot of gas powered ovens/stoves/grills.
So the first thing that puzzles me was:
I was on my last day off for the week and I went to sleep that night, didn't have any sort of lucid dream but I dreamed that 2 of the gas knobs got turned off the wrong way and were fully open. [b][i]Note:[/i][/b] I had not worked for the last 2 days so I can't have "subconsciously" remembered they were left on.
I get to work and smell a shit load of gas because I was the first to open up that morning so I turned them off and put the exhaust fans on, that's when it hits me it was the exact same gas knobs left on as the ones I dreamed about.. I put this one down as coincidence.
Second: I have my lip pierced and the ball of the ring popped out one night before bed I spent hours searching for it because I didn't want it to come out during my sleep, I eventually gave up, I dreamed of the exact place it was and as I was walking out the door to go somewhere I remembered my dream and had the urge to check that spot.. Yea.. it was there.. I put this one down as "I saw it there but didn't notice I saw it so I dreamed of it in that spot."
Three: This ones not as far fetched but on the odd occasion I sleep through my alarm and are currently late for work, I dream that I'm late for work and trying to get there as fast as I can, of course with many obstacles in my way while dreaming.. This one is pretty cool because it wakes me up when I'm late.
There is probably legitimate conclusions to all these and that doesn't worry me, I just thought I'd ask.
Yea I have a lot of these trivial dreams that end up helping me.. nothing over the top like telling me the future though..
1: It's a coincidence
2: You may have unconsciously known where it had fallen or it caught your eye and you didn't notice
3: Your internal clock tells you you're late
I know people really want to believe that you can know things without seeing them and the like, and no offense, but it's not possible at all.
Same goes for the whole energy thing. It undoubtedly exists in your dreams (not all the time but especially with nightmares), but in real life there is no such thing. You can pick up cues that you may not consciously notice that make you feel uneasy about something, but that water experiment from Jake's post has been debunked as pseudoscience and the man who performed it was never a scientist at all.
Spirituality is internal, it only has to do with being at peace with yourself.

For all three of these, the answer is probably 'you subconsciously realized it but didn't realize you realized it'.
However, now I would like to bring up something called confirmation bias, because it's very relevant. I will explain it later, as my head is splitting open currently, but feel free to google it.
First, Ive never really been able to lucid dream that well, Any tips
And two Ive been having some weird dreams recently And i would like to see if you could interpret them privately
Note I don't remember most of my dreams..
This will be on the Inception blu-ray

I may not speak scribble, but it gives me a feeling of fear, what the fear is, I don't know.
Guys, I've had an idea bouncing around in my head for a couple of days, and I just can't shake it. There's something I REALLY want to try, but I don't know if it will work. It's worth a shot, though.
So I was watching Inception today and I kind of thought about the whole idea behind an Architect and...well, in THEORY, it could absolutely work. Which led to more thinking, and then MORE thinking, and now I think I know what I'm going to start doing.
I want (as a test), someone to develop a dream world for me to inhabit. I don't know how well this will work, but it could be interesting...
[QUOTE=Eonart;25760570]How about just using MILD to start a dream in an area which you just drew on paper?
Unless you mean something else.[/QUOTE]
Something like that, except everything is designed by someone else, not me. I'm bad at creativity, I want to do something else. I know I can tell my sub to back off and essentially treat it like it's not MY dream, it's a dream scenario someone else invented and I'm just walking through it.

Jking, I suppose I should start.
I just think it would be really interesting. Like give me a floorplan and characters and a general mood and I'll see what my mind does. It's like dream interpretation in reverse.
[IMG]http://i639.photobucket.com/albums/uu119/ryanwarguy/Vanitandistrictrough.jpg[/IMG]
I call it the Vanitan district. It's basically midnight all the time there.
The apartment has absolutely no light apart from moon light coming in from the windows and it is empty every corner of it. The buildings there are just for fun.
The plaza has street lights and stores, each building is three stories tall. The stores are completely empty and are lit up white. But there is one restaurant thats like 3 stars and is chinese.
I have no idea how tall the rooftop party is, but there is light there, as well as minecraft style rail tracks.
The whole place is just dark, only lit up by moon light.
As for people present. There are midgets that are stronger than me (I can only lift 6-8kg in one hand), but they aren't common, last I saw one was in the apartment. Old friends, which do not appear but merely communicate through phone. The plaza has indians, malaysians, only around said restaurant. There's also this indian man dressed in a white shirt and black trousers with a american accent.
The mood is usually neutral in plaza, throw in one or two drunk wine-drinkers. On the rooftop, it's party hard. In the apartment, is just plain emptiness and a bit of negativity. Never the less, hardly anyone talks.
