Paradise Tennant: love listening to dreams anyone have a dream to share ?
--BELL--
Daedalus687 Resident: Dreams as a window onto a knowing that is not attibutable to a subject
Paradise Tennant: yes
Paradise Tennant: find they are a kind of knowing :)) that seems outside of us
Daedalus687 Resident: I used to try to relate them back to me and my life I found
Daedalus687 Resident: Its easier for me to view them as just a focus on something, yet only losely attribute
Paradise Tennant: hiya eos :))
Aphrodite Macbain: Hi Eos
Daedalus687 Resident: hi
Paradise Tennant: I often can smell things in my dreams :)) which make them very personal somehow
Eos Amaterasu: hi aph, daedalus, paradise, druth
Daedalus687 Resident: I never have that, or hearing really
Paradise Tennant: only sense I don't get in a dream is taste ..
Paradise Tennant: lol will dream of blueberry scones and can smell them but never get to taste them :)
Daedalus687 Resident: thats neat that you get those others other than vision
Daedalus687 Resident: If I do have those sensations, I certainly don’t recall it
druth Vlodovic: my dreams used to feature silhouettes with spooky background music
Paradise Tennant: listens ..
Aphrodite Macbain: talk of blueberry scones makes me hungry
Daedalus687 Resident: I was here last night and not a soul was here
druth Vlodovic: you don't have a soul?
Daedalus687 Resident: I do not own one no
Paradise Tennant: yes can be very quiet - I don't think there is a hosted session on wednesdays any more stevenaia has moved to saturdays
druth Vlodovic: coincidence!
Aphrodite Macbain: soulless in Seattle
Eos Amaterasu: pavilion was souled out
Eos Amaterasu: wednesday is a free day
Aphrodite Macbain: free souls day

Daedalus687 Resident: Does a guardian still need to claim the session?
Daedalus687 Resident: I would have rambled on
Daedalus687 Resident: lol
Aphrodite Macbain: I believe Paradise already claimed it
Paradise Tennant: you can ramble to your heart's content . :)
Paradise Tennant: I know eliza would post it
Eos Amaterasu: Paradise, you could try (loudly) asking your dream to taste the scones
Daedalus687 Resident: that sounds like a good idea
Paradise Tennant: hmm i never thought of that
Paradise Tennant: will try it
Eos Amaterasu: also a good approach to weight loss
Eos Amaterasu: do your eating in dreams
Paradise Tennant: lol yes !
Daedalus687 Resident: lol
Paradise Tennant: if we could set up a 12 step eating in your dreams program - it would be very popular
Aphrodite Macbain: could be a very noisy sleeper
druth Vlodovic: hard on pillows I'd think
stevenaia Michinaga: greetings
Paradise Tennant: lol
Daedalus687 Resident: Hi!
Eos Amaterasu: greetings!
Paradise Tennant: yes would put a whole new twist on crumbs in bed
Aphrodite Macbain: Hi Stevenaia

Paradise Tennant: ok enjoy aph nice to have gotten a chance to see you :)
druth Vlodovic: I had a spider follow me out of a dream once
Paradise Tennant: what ?
druth Vlodovic: never crumbs though
druth Vlodovic: well, I didn't get to see it but I sure feltit
Paradise Tennant: now that would be spooky
stevenaia Michinaga: (I've been shoveling the 12" of snow that fell today)
druth Vlodovic: big mexican red leg crawling up my leg
druth Vlodovic: you need to move up north where we have clear roads and open fields
Daedalus687 Resident: Thats rough
Daedalus687 Resident: Or here in florida
stevenaia Michinaga: hehe and colder temps I presume
Paradise Tennant: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexican...knee_tarantula
Daedalus687 Resident: were its always no-snow
Eos Amaterasu: here it's a snow turning to rain and then later freezing event....
druth Vlodovic: ugh
Paradise Tennant: https://www.google.ca/search?q=flori...sm=93&ie=UTF-8
Paradise Tennant: 16 c sigh
stevenaia Michinaga: how pretty (and scary)
druth Vlodovic: I prefer seasons that are able to make up their mind
druth Vlodovic: my brother got one as a pet a couple months after I had the dream
Paradise Tennant: do they make good pets ?
Daedalus687 Resident: can you cuddle with it?
druth Vlodovic: we'd spend time going around the fields trying to keep it fed
druth Vlodovic: turns out that are terrified of frogs for some reason
druth Vlodovic: secure your supply of crickets before acquiring one
druth Vlodovic: and,I never tried 
Paradise Tennant: wow they can live 25 years !
stevenaia Michinaga: they that fast that they can catch them?
druth Vlodovic: they only move fast in short hops
stevenaia Michinaga: how did it follow you out of a dream?
Paradise Tennant: my dad once had a cricket jump up his pant leg at one of my mom's church's teas .. he promptly jumped out of his pants ...
druth Vlodovic: same way you can feel hugs in SL, thereis a word for it I can never remember
Paradise Tennant: lol I can still see her whispering at him furiously to put them back on :)) he then had to corral it on his hands and knees so the ladies would believe him
Eos Amaterasu: brain sensorimotor neuroplasticity?
Paradise Tennant: i must have that in dreams I can feel texture
Eos Amaterasu: off to dreamland for me....
Eos Amaterasu: ciao, all, nice to drop by even if for a bit
stevenaia Michinaga: Night Eos, keep warm
Daedalus687 Resident: bye now
Paradise Tennant: http://www.dreamscience.org/idx_scie..._section-2.htm
Paradise Tennant: take care eos
druth Vlodovic: wow, you're a 1 percenter
Paradise Tennant: nods yes
stevenaia Michinaga: :)
Paradise Tennant: I wonder how many people can do all five senses would not be very many I imagine
druth Vlodovic: maybe depends on which senses people consider important
druth Vlodovic: for decades I thought I remembered things better written down, turns put I am mainly pictoral
Daedalus687 Resident: id think given our species high dependence on sight..
--BELL--
druth Vlodovic: odd for opinion to eclipse reality that much for so long
druth Vlodovic: today's world is very dependant on writing,and now videos
druth Vlodovic: interpersonal communication rather than personal experience
Paradise Tennant: yes
druth Vlodovic: and the language skews things, we describe taste and smell mainly by similie
druth Vlodovic: except for chef michael smith
druth Vlodovic: and even there the volcabulary is sparse
stevenaia Michinaga: perhaps it is cultural
Paradise Tennant: yes
stevenaia Michinaga: other cultures ahve more word for what is important to them, like snow up north
stevenaia Michinaga: and currents in the pacific islands
Paradise Tennant: lately have gotten addicted to korean TV :)) find it really entertaining how the different ways of thinking influence the story lines and how the characters behave
Paradise Tennant: we wear and act our beliefs
druth Vlodovic: I wonder if anyone has done a cross-culture dream comparisons or studies
druth Vlodovic: we live in our beliefs
druth Vlodovic: they are as much part of us as our own bodies
stevenaia Michinaga: if there is such a study, Para will find it
druth Vlodovic: no pressure :)
stevenaia Michinaga: :)
Paradise Tennant: http://psychology.about.com/od/state...out-dreams.htm
Paradise Tennant: lol
Daedalus687 Resident: have a good night lady avatars
druth Vlodovic: 'night
Paradise Tennant: http://www.dreamresearch.ca/pdf/cultural.pdf
Paradise Tennant: nite nite daedalus :)) thanks for stopping by
druth Vlodovic: In some, such as that of the Parintintin, most people remember several dreams every night
stevenaia Michinaga: I can if I write them down, then they remain vivid when I re-read them
stevenaia Michinaga: even years later

druth Vlodovic: lol, and lucid dreaming again, so often I find it puzzling how people can be puzzled by things I find easy and describe as easy things I have difficulty even understanding
--BELL--
Paradise Tennant: would love to be able to lucid dream
Paradise Tennant: like have free vacations
Paradise Tennant: anywhere !
stevenaia Michinaga: :) if it can take you where you direct
druth Vlodovic: it's not as fun as it is cracked up to be
stevenaia Michinaga: the few time I had them I could only go within the dream
stevenaia Michinaga: not take a plane to a vacation spot
druth Vlodovic: if you learn it's best to use a very light hand and only infrequently
druth Vlodovic: force it and you "break" the dream
Paradise Tennant: like soap bubbles
druth Vlodovic: ever watch Labyrinth?
Paradise Tennant: no but I have read the book
stevenaia Michinaga: not that I remember
druth Vlodovic: at the end she is trying to traverse an MC escher #D maze
druth Vlodovic: she finally decides just to jump and the whole things gets revealed as disconnected chunks
druth Vlodovic: it's not exactly like that but I suspect the guy who designed the scene had had similar experiences to what I described
Paradise Tennant: there is a lot of wisdom in just jumping
Paradise Tennant: and jumps up to go to bed :))
stevenaia Michinaga: I think it's dream time for me since I get to wake up to shoveling snow
Paradise Tennant: smiles thank you both for stopping by :))
stevenaia Michinaga: night Para, Druth, gtsy
druth Vlodovic: haven't read the book, the movie is really good if you like fairy/goblin type stories
druth Vlodovic: ttfn guys
Paradise Tennant: nice to see people sometimes these sessions are really quiet
druth Vlodovic: sweets dreams :)
Paradise Tennant: yes will look for it on net flix
Paradise Tennant: namaste my friends
druth Vlodovic: lol, namaste
