Sleeping, dreaming, junk and stuff...

Recurrig dreams happen. This has only recently became one as I've brought the subject of dying into my conciousness. Most people have it in sub-conciousness so their fear of death takes more symbolic, less obvious forms, Sub-conciousness speaks in symbols.

If there isn't, then it doesn't matter if you die. I mean, if you try to remember something before you were born, you don't imagine blackness or emptyness.

Exactly. That's the subject of my other entry http://uriupina.com/philosophy-psychology/missing-out-not-existing

Assuming there is a God, I feel like I'm covered

Well, if it's the God you expect Otherwise who knows what that god's standards are)))

That's why I no longer fear death. So try not to worry about death.

I'm not so much afraid of death, mostly of dying. It's like being afraid of dentists. Even if you know the result is going to be ok the process scares the shit out of you. But also, we're just wired to be afraid of death, it's a primal fear that's hard to control. You can only repress it, or forget about it saying 'it's not happening now, so i'll try to enjoy life while i can'.

there is nothing to sugest that being dead is that bad. I've never heard anyone complain about it.lol

yeah, no complaints from non-existent people either

A month with no blog post and now two in quick succession... :)

Yeah, that's very much like me, I act on inspiration, I'm not a weekly newspaper that has to meet the deadline

sleeping after being really sleep deprived

I didnt notice a difference, I see vivid dreams often anyway and tend to remember them. There were however periods in my life when I noticed I didn't remember my dreams. But that was just a period. And fuck sleep deprivation! I don't tolerate that very well.

Even sexual dreams aren't all that positive due to what you have to deal with after waking up especially if you're already late for work/whatever

Hehe. I am never late for work, my computer is near my bed :D

Then there's lucid dreams. Only had a couple myself and those where in my young youth.

Don't think I ever had those.

Star Trek? I keep hearing about it, but I've never seen it nor do I have the desire to. I'mn very picky with sci-fi stuff, usually don't like it.

My mother still has this recurring dream about exams in college. Horrible traumatization for life!

sometimes I'm able to continue the previous dream or get a new one.

I'm not sure if I ever succeeded in that but certainly have tried.))

I'll check out "Waking Life". Just read a review about it, said it was very philosophical.))

I want to hear some 'analyst' interpret that!

Not without your help they can't. The way Freud would do it is to ask you what are your associations for 'bear' and 'tank' (usually first things coming to mind).

And maybe just really do it weird..like with a clown suit on and...

Hahahaha. I just imagined a new TV show featuring funny suicides. It'd rank well I think!

I simply can't stand how serious most people are about a bunch of bullshit(ie, themselves and their doings)...it'd be like a death play on the absurdity of it all.

Oh yes. Boring. Everyone trying to prove their worth to themselves and others. Who's smarter, who's richer, who's got a better body... Although, you know, it's still nice to be a filthy rich fucker with a stunning body just so you can take advantage of all that, live wild and die young. Hopefully, in your sleep, while you're dreaming of not having sex with a bear who rips a tank apart)))

Couldn't agree more, waking up sucks in 99% of the cases. What sucks even more is being woken up by noisy neighbours. Btw, the reason I know thoughts don't materialize is because my neighbour who was doing the remodeling of his appartment for about a year is still living and breathing and not flying in the sky with dynomite up his ass as I've been vividly and passionately imagining him day after day after day during the same year. If that power of wishing something doesn't materialize - nothing does!
