Meditations

[Isobel The Sorceress]

It is definitely not a game, but there is a good deal of strategy in pacing, positioning and surging, and I think the fact that the sport is predominantly physical might actually make coaching it more strategic than most sports, because conditioning has to be tailored so that people are doing as they can without getting injured (which is a risky line to walk).

That's what I call technique.

[The Kakama]

Yes, it's technique, not strategy.
And technique only tells you how, but not what to do.

So how about dreams? We have been posting our dreams, and some of you have been saying what you think they are, but how about a bit deeper? How much do you think they tell you about yourself and how?

[The Kakama]

In half of my dreams I seem to be in a manic state (super happy or, like one time, really, really angry), or I was an amnesiac. One time I commited suicide in a dream, and another few times I wasn't human (bionicle, rodent-creature, etc.).
In complete contrast with my normal self.
Unless it's telling me I'm like Dr Jekyll/Mr Hyde.
Then there are lucid dreams, where I am myself, and semi lucid dreams, where I end up somewhere in between both manic and rational.

[Vortex]

Well, it is said that dreams make you organize your thoughts and help you store what happened the day before in long term memory.

[The Kakama]

Yes, maybe that is the case for some of the dreams, but what about the wackier ones?
And I think the wacky dreams are the ones we're talking about here.

[Anteroinen]

They are probably there because the brain is prepping you for that situation.

[Vurn]

The theory that seems most plausible to me is that dreams aren't even really wanted, they're more like a byproduct of sorting thoughts and experiences while your conciousness randomly kicks in.

I have a question.
My dreams always end in the most unwanted moment(like: when I'm opening box I was searching for, or I'd aknowledged the secret, and so on.). But this is because of something from our world (somebody waking me up, alarm clock), does it mean that my brain know when will I wake up? Because that is always this most obvious moment, like in tv when serial/cartoon always end in such a moment it makes us watch another section.

[The Kakama]

No, we remember the last few dreams more vividly, because we probably forgot those dreams that resolve themselves long before.
You remember a dream better if you wake up directly after dreaming.
