They made a new thing? :O I'll watch it with my T&E buds soon.
Eugh, so apparently, I'm doomed to have strange dreams now. This one was so marvelous that I could not fall back asleep
I can only remember this one snippet from it. I was sitting down on a grassy hill, watching over a lake. It was a nice sunny day (also this guy I really like was present ) and in the sky... There was this giant... Thing.
It was a massive, solid ivory colored instrument. It was shaped like a barrel, and at the top it had giant gramophone-like projections that crowned the entire thing. This thing would slowly rotate and hover in the sky, periodically it would come lower to the earth. The whole time it would be blasting out classical music except it would sound as if it were played by a carnival organ or something.
God, this thing was at least the size of a castle! I knew it well in my dream though... It was called "La Symphonium Fantastico" (no I am not an avid listener of Hector Berlioz) it was renowned for making its way across the world, always rotating and playing music for everyone. It was considered lucky to see it, as it didn't come close down often.
It wasn't manned or anything. It was suspended by the air as if by magic (or sometimes balloons!!)
I've been reading about lucid dreams and thinking about how I want to have one, and how I've never even had a dream where I was aware it was a dream. Well, last night, my mind apparently attempted. I had a dream within a dream and in THAT dream, I was in a car with this random guy who was threatening to crash the car when I suddenly became aware it was a dream. I was like, "Hey! This is a dream!" and then I said, "Yeah! Crash the car, that'll be fun! It doesn't matter, because it's just a dream!" and grabbed the steering wheel and kept trying to smash it into the cars parked along the side of the road but the guy wouldn't let me. Then I made him stop at a bookstore since "I can do whatever I want!" until I realized books are really boring in dreams. Then I woke up within my dream and had a broken back and was totally unaware I was still dreaming. I don't think that really counts as a lucid dream.
When you decide to wreck cars in a dream, be absolutely certain that you are dreaming.
I've had many lucid dreams, but I've never learned to do it 'on command', despite having read a lot about how to do it. The same applies to things like astral projection. I left my body once after 5 days without food, but it wasn't intentional. Since then (30 years ago), I've tried many times to repeat the experience but without success. I'm pretty good at understanding so-called spiritual or metaphysical concepts. Unfortunately, understanding doesn't guarantee ability. That sucks!
if you want to know if a dream is lucid, flip a lightswitch. If the light changes, it's real life. If not, it's a dream. I am going to steal kenny's copy of waking life and send it to you, priscilla.
Of course, I have one aim, the grotesque. If I am not grotesque I am nothing.
Doors of Perception is OK- it is dated and presents a limited look at Huxley's use of mescaline in opening doorways, creativity, etc. My problem with it is it is a bit sterile and lacks spirit.
Pretty sure it was released in early 60s when he died. Many other authors do a much better job of taking the subject matter to the next level- like Terrence McKenna or Tim Leary. Food of the Gods by McKenna is a must read for anyone interested in human conscious evolution in conjunction with our plant relatives.
I guess I was especially interested in the link between drugs and the idea of opening doors, I'm not sure I agree with you about the Huxley. It's clearly dated but a lot of his points are (imo) spot on. But I'd welcome further material on the subject.
edit - also the fact that he interacts with Blake sells it for me
For some reason, I was in London. And the reason was...
TO SEE CIARA IN CONCERT.
¿¿¿¿¿?????
I don't listen to Ciara. I'm still wondering why the fuck she was in my dream. And why I was in London (I'd love to visit London one day) only to see her in concert.
Last night I had many crazy dreams that I do not remember. The only bits I remember had to do with buying shoes (a common theme lately) and tossing babies.
I always have the most beautiful dreams when my life is all miserable. I had a really lovely dream a few nights ago that there was this astronomical and musical night with Joanna Newsom playing live in this dome that was like a huge telescope. You could see nebulae in full colour and fly through the clouds. All the colours were amazing and Joanna was playing the most beautiful music I have ever heard (nothing new then!) If only I could remember the music.....
And every little gust that chances through Will dance in the dust of me and you
