Save up money. Even a cheap apartment would at least be quieter.

The key is finding a way to resist the urge to give it to them when cash becomes extremely tight.

Save up, don’t give them more than you can afford.

I had a dream early this morning where moviefreakedmind (or at least the guy in his avatar) hypnotized me and Gillian Anderson using a video played from a smartphone. Once in the hypnotic trance, I had a dream within a dream of a woman getting her teeth cleaned at a dental clinic.

I’ve said it before, I’m saying it again: I really wish dream-recording technology was available.

Why would you want such a thing? Just for entertainment?

As a person who rarely remembers his dreams (and when I do, they’re generally incredibly mundane), I can never believe that people remember their dreams with all this detail and specificity.

I don’t think they’re actually remembering their dreams. Dreams are what I like to call brain junk: They are just the result of the brain trying to reorganize information during it’s daily off time. In other words, it’s just a hallucination. If there were a dream recording machine, what you would see would probably make no sense at all. Humans always want to build stories and structure around things that don’t have much story and structure in the first place. So, when someone remembers a dream in great detail, they are most likely build a non-existent and made up story around a general feeling.

Why did Salvador Dali paint his paintings? Why did M.C. Escher etch his woodcuts?

It just doesn’t seem that there would be much to gain from a recording of a dream.

There doesn’t seem to be much to gain from collecting stamps, but people do it and I for one am not one for questioning their hobby.

So, I ask again, just for entertainment?

That isn’t a picture of me, but I look quite a bit like he does in that picture. I’m six and half feet tall though and he was pretty short I believe.

And what exactly do you have a doctorate in, Dr. yhwx?

Some dreams are nonsense, but I think that all dreams have value. Even if just in an Un Chien Andalou sort of way.
