Ive heard aboutt how sleep deprivation studies have been banned. Afterr staying up for long periods the mind starts to dream while awake and you basically go crazy. Alot of the participants killed them self after the study because the hallucinations/ nightmares while awake didnt go away...

 

you start to dream while your still awake.

 

some bizarre shit lol Iv done it.

 

 

 

for all you kids interested in lucid dreaming.

i suffere from severe obstructive sleep apnea and a cpap wont work on me so I can either have surgery or suck it up. I choose to suck it up. I only sleep around 3 hours a night for around 5 - 6 days and then 1 - 2 days I sleep for about 7 hours. Most of the time when I am not doing something meaningful I am in a daze, I am ok though while I am driving and doing something I enjoy. I have fallen a sleep while typing on the computer a bunch of times.

Woah..

 

Is the surgery pretty intense or you'd rather not deal with it? It could really improve your quality of life I would think.

Probably a little too heavy for Ratsun, but everyone should read "The Believing Brain" by Michael Shermer. Absolutely amazing book by a neuro scientist that delves into not only what we believe, but how and why those beliefs form, and some amazing insights into waking nightmares/sleep paralysis etc.

I once had a dream that I could fly. It felt so real, I woke up and ran to the window and waited to take flight. Good thing I waited, because it didn't happen. ;) I was rather disappointed.

Dude I've done that twice!!! The first one was a windy day and I spread my arms out and felt very light. I waved my arms and lifted slightly. The harder a waved my arms the lighter I was and I began flying like a bird. Very quickly I was much higher than I would want to fall so I had to keep going. The second time I just sort of 'willed' it and floated up through the tree branches. In both cases I found nothing odd about being able to fly. It seemed normal (although very interesting and scary at the same time) so maybe on some level I was aware I was dreaming?

A Martian fucked me once. No idea which sex it was.

Check out this new product for lucid dreaming. Pretty rad. http://sleepwithremee.com/

 

When I dream it is usually nightmares, which are awesomely terrible in every aspect but I enjoy how it makes me feel. Often times I will recount past dream experiences and turn them lucid (the more nightmare-ish the better).

heres a creepy story i read about sensory deprivation,

entitled Gateway Of The Mind.

In 1983, a team of deeply pious scientists conducted a radical experiment in an undisclosed facility. The scientists had theorized that a human without access to any senses or ways to perceive stimuli would be able to perceive the presence of God. They believed that the five senses clouded our awareness of eternity, and without them, a human could actually establish contact with God by thought. An elderly man who claimed to have “nothing to left to live for” was the only test subject to volunteer. To purge him of all his senses, the scientists performed a complex operation in which every sensory nerve connection to the brain was surgically severed. Although the test subject retained full muscular function, he could not see, hear, taste, smell, or feel. With no possible way to communicate with or even sense the outside world, he was alone with his thoughts.

Scientists monitored him as he spoke aloud about his state of mind in jumbled, slurred sentences that he couldn’t even hear. After four days, the man claimed to be hearing hushed, unintelligible voices in his head. Assuming it was an onset of psychosis, the scientists paid little attention to the man’s concerns.

Two days later, the man cried that he could hear his dead wife speaking with him, and even more, he could communicate back. The scientists were intrigued, but were not convinced until the subject started naming dead relatives of the scientists. He repeated personal information to the scientists that only their dead spouses and parents would have known. At this point, a sizable portion of scientists left the study.

After a week of conversing with the deceased through his thoughts, the subject became distressed, saying the voices were overwhelming. In every waking moment, his consciousness was bombarded by hundreds of voices that refused to leave him alone. He frequently threw himself against the wall, trying to elicit a pain response. He begged the scientists for sedatives, so he could escape the voices by sleeping. This tactic worked for three days, until he started having severe night terrors. The subject repeatedly said that he could see and hear the deceased in his dreams.

Only a day later, the subject began to scream and claw at his nonfunctional eyes, hoping to sense something in the physical world. The hysterical subject now said the voices of the dead were deafening and hostile, speaking of hell and the end of the world. At one point, he yelled “No heaven, no forgiveness” for five hours straight. He continually begged to be killed, but the scientists were convinced that he was close to establishing contact with God.

After another day, the subject could no longer form coherent sentences. Seemingly mad, he started to bite off chunks of flesh from his arm. The scientists rushed into the test chamber and restrained him to a table so he could not kill himself. After a few hours of being tied down, the subject halted his struggling and screaming. He stared blankly at the ceiling as teardrops silently streaked across his face. For two weeks, the subject had to be manually rehydrated due to the constant crying. Eventually, he turned his head and, despite his blindness, made focused eye contact with a scientist for the first time in the study. He whispered “I have spoken with God, and he has abandoned us” and his vital signs stopped. There was no apparent cause of death.

Didn't want to start a new post about this.

 

Last night I had a dream where I took all my clothes off and drove my 710 around. I have no idea why I removed my clothes or where they were, seemed like I had a good reason at the time I guess. However I thought that the easiest way to get dressed was to run over to where my wife works borrow her keys and the sedan and buzz home to get them. I ran several blocks and ran into the store she manages and asked her in front of her girl and women employees and customers. (no guys, no homo I guess) I don't remember being the slightest embarrassed just in a hurry. I jumped in the 710 and zoomed away through town and ended up in a large building like a hanger driving around looking for new tires.

 

To sum it up, it was fun and I lulzed about it later. Naked in your 710 driving around.
