strange dream.. This is a genuine transcript of a dream I had after attending a transition towns meeting. I put it on another site I am on where there was a thread about dreams but thought it worth sharing here. Other than the ketamine ninja dream in about 2005 I am not particularly prone to lucid dreaming. The TT meeting was on a tuesday and I was stone cold sober, not even alcohol. make of it what you will.
It started off with me logging on to PV - a post was there from Poly ranting that a gang of mice and a guinea pig (he was quite specific about the species) had got in to his house and run away with all his drugs (literally picked up the bags in their teeth and run away). They weren't his pets, just random animals..
Also I was being shown around a sort of prefabricated shed-type building, which was around the Felixstowe area. in there was all these sewing machines and other stuff in there and it was going to be used for making clothes in. it had been set up by women from South Asia, the Phillipines and English hippy girls as well. the idea was that rather than get the entire clothes from China and India, just the fabric got delivered to Felixstowe and the clothes were made in England
but also a giant rabbit was running around everywhere, the size of a bull-terrier but no one was particulary bothered by it (giant rabbits do indeed exist!). it was friendly and did not intefere with the factory, just ran around everywhere like rabbits do.
Most of the women were on their break so I was just looking a the factory,. there was a mixture of 1980s electric sewing machines and the old manual ones, and loads of bits of fabric were draped from the ceiling. it wasn't like a "sweatshop" to make just one kind of garment but arranged so people could make clothes for their culture or work together...
and then there was some news report and two scientist dudes in white coats were sheepisly apologising for all the animals everywhere (I think was like some big experiment had gone tits up and all sorts of intelligent creatures had escaped)
I was with a friend of mine and we were saying we should make a film of the clothes factory "for the news" (the rabbit was still running around!).
Sleep When Your Dead…… Yet again I find myself wide awake at 2:27am, i have had a relatively busy week/weekend and have exerted alot of energy.....yet I'm wide awake.....i gotta go to the job centre in the morning, chances are I'll miss my stupid meeting and have to start my claim again..... fuck sake......:annoyed::annoyed::annoyed::annoyed:12

My Horse needs some sleep. Hi guys, recently I have had some trouble with my horse, he needs to sleep and the special horse drink I used to get him where I used to live, - well I cant find any here in LONDON, I have asked around but the only people I know have none left and don't plan on selling it in the future.
I have told some random people in the street about my horse and they gave me some crushed up paracetamols but my horse was very annoyed at the sight of it and I ended up throwing it away. and the person I got it from was gone.
If anyone knows how I can get my horse to sleep in central london please pm me some details.
Thanks

Dream Journal: Inside the subconscious mind of party people Here's our very own Partyvibe Dream Journal thread. The subconscious mind can throw up some wierd and whacky thoughts at the best of times which can often lead to a state of confusion and paranoia. Well, not so much paranoia - paranoia is one of those words that make paragraphs sound more interesting and mysterious. Anyroad, share your midnight mind thoughts on this page and let the PV community provide unprofessional, unqualified advice to help you understand why it is you're so wierd...
It's 11pm where I am right now and soon I shall be going to bed. My pen and paper are by my bedside ready to record the nights events. Tomorrow, providing I dream of something worth writing, I'll whack in an entry to this thread.
I bet I bloody dream about Partyvibe now...
Lucid Dreaming I watched a film on Channel 4 the other night - Waking Life. It's this mad animation about a guy trapped in a lucid dream who meets all these people along the way who talk philosophy with him. It's well worth a watch.
Anyway, I'd really like to learn to do this. I think most of us have had occasions when we have realised we are dreaming and have then been able to control the dream to an extent, but it's possible to teach yourself to get good at it and do whatever you want in the dreams, flying being an obvious example (one character in the film is working on 360 degree vision in his dreams).
I was wondering if anyone had any interesting experiences of lucid dreaming themselves, or tips on how to achieve a lucid dream (without putting liquid acid in your horlicks before bedtime)?
Sleeping…… Anyone else's internal clock all messed up cos of the xmas break? i was off for two weeks, mostly going to bed round 6ish. Last night couldn't get to sleep until 3.30am and had to get up at 5am. I fear tonight will be the same!
Anyone else like this? :crazy:12
Insomnia I've had insomnia for the past 3 months (ish) now. I've been to the doc's and got some zopiclone (the taste... ergh) but obviously don't want to use it every night. I'm at a complete loss and just wondered if people have any tricks that help them sleep?
Tricks that aren't necessarily chemical based anyway :wink:
I’ve Had LOADS of Sleep! RESULT!. had 19 hrs sleep fri + sat night, when normally ill have had about 6 on sat. feels quality. finally seemed to have got rid of the horrendous black rings round my eyes. looked like a zombie or something before. Dont really know what to do with all this spare time now tho. Think im gonna have a bath, take all the recycling down tesco's that ive been putting off for about a month then cook a phat roast! could get used to this:weee::love:

Do your dreams ever get stuck? This morning when I woke up I realised that I had been dreaming one 'scene' (for want of a better word) of my dream over and over and over. It felt like it's been stuck for several hours. Most wierd.12
Modern Leonardo Da Vinchi or Just a Dreamer? Recently I’ve come across an article of some unknown author. Has anyone heard about Andrey Shvets? Who’s he?
“Modern Leonardo da Vinchi” or a Belorussian Dreamer?
I’ve got acquainted with Andrey Shvets' works after a friend of mine called him seriously or for fun modern Leonardo da Vinci. The breadth of scientific interests of this Belarusian author is really amazing. He offers new original ideas almost in every field of knowledge. However, nobody knows whether his ideas are proved or caused by the desire of the author to look for paradoxes even if they are not present.
For example, it is considered to be that the “thermal death” of the system comes in case of its maximal entropy value, and in this case all processes stop in it. Therefore the system can be only in one static condition. Shvets approves that if the system has only one possible condition, its entropy is equal to zero. Hence, the recourse of the system and its approaching to the point of the “thermal death” is accompanied by the reduction of the entropy, and the progress – by the increase of the entropy. So the author makes the conclusions in the field of sociology and the economic theory. The divergence with the accepted position explains the mess between the information entropy and the thermodynamic entropy. I’m not an expert in this area, but I’m inclined to trust much more to the opinion of several generations of scientists-physicists than to Shvets.
Let’s take another example. The paradox of Zenone about Ahille and the turtle has not been a riddle for a long time. Nobody doubts that the runner would overtake the turtle. And the paradox is based on the ignorance of the ancient people of the basics of the differential calculus. If people in Zenone’s time knew that the sum of the infinite quantity of the decreasing pieces can be equaled to any final number, there would have been no paradox at all. But Shvets writes that the opportunity of division of the final piece to the infinite number of infinitesimal pieces had been known earlier. In the very statement of this paradox the certain algorithm of the runner’s movement is incorporated. While Ahille is running to the point where the turtle was, he does not know where it is moving at this time. Only having reached this point the runner can see the following point to which the reptile gets. That is, if Ahille chases the turtle not knowing how it moves and in what point it appears next, he could never catch up with it. It’s impossible to catch up with the thing that moves absolutely vaguely, appearing here and there. However, the photons of light move like this. So Shvets makes the assumption that because of the uncertainty of the occurrences of photons of light, the more predicted particles could never "catch up" with them at the microlevel.
Shvets has also formulated “the most general principle of relativity” which says that any observer has the right to consider himself based. The principle of relativity of Galilee gives such a right to the rectilinearly moving observer at the regular intervals, the general theory of relativity of Einstein - to the observer accelerating in the gravitational field. And still more “general principle of relativity” says that it’s possible to explain any physical phenomenon operating physical laws by having accepted any system of coordinates for based.
Andrey Shvets goes beyond physics. It mentions economy, psychology, mathematics, philosophy and religion. But he does not try to join together various religions and philosophical doctrines as many people are trying to make it now. He has created his own direction, but at the same time all religious and mystical currents have found their place in this construction. This doctrine looks strange enough, and some religious dogmas have got absolutely other sense. It is supposed that we represent some comprehensions which are having dreams. These dreams are synchronized among themselves as well as the programs of the players in the computer network. As a result, the uniform world which we consider to be real is formed. This world-dream carries out a role of a simulator for those comprehensions which have not got stronger yet for the perception of the real world. Gradually the sleeping man changes his dreams and sees himself as different animals and different people passing on higher levels. It’s called the resettlement of souls. In the process of strengthening the comprehension starts to feel the illusoriness of this world-dream, and it becomes less interested in it, and passions and desires of this illusive world dominate less over it. Finally, the prepared comprehension ceases to require these dreams-simulators and wakes up at long last breaking off the circuit of regenerations. The sin is all that prevents to perceive the real world. And if the sin is still present, the comprehension is born in this world-dream again, and the idea of the “fall of the man” is concluded in it.
Just as the communication between the computers can be broken, the communication between the sleeping and seeing one dream comprehensions can be broken, and then all of them would wake up. Our world-dream would disappear. There would come a doomsday. And then the comprehension prepared for the perception would apprehend the true reality as pleasure or the paradise. For those who has not had time to get stronger or for sinners, the perception of this reality would cause intolerable tortures like listening too loud music with too bright flashes of light. Indeed Shvets doesn’t insist on this model of the world.
Beside the listed areas of human activity Andrey Shvets is interested in the Chinese philosophy and interprets it in a new fashion. In spite of the fact that it is exciting to read his works, probably it is necessary to recognize that the time of the talented and "omnivorous" self-educated persons is over. The future is for the narrow experts who have given to the field of knowledge a significant part of their life.
