The Dreamer Must Awaken!!goodbrainsJanuary 24 2008, 07:55:02 UTC
Sorry had to through out the 'Dune' reference! Yeah the recursive ones (I dont seem to have a lot of them) can get ya good!
Check out a movie called 'Waking Life' it is very on-topic as well as being metaphysical (well dreaming what would one expect?). Fare warning though it is pretentious but none the less entertaining!

yes, have seen Waking Life - great technique (although applied better in Scanner Darkly, I think) Pretentiousness is pretty much a side effect of it being a Linklater movie. You have to put up with that to get to the good stuff :)
Another good 2001 Linklater is Tape, which from the premise sounds utterly forgettable, but which is actually quite incredible, in an understated kind of way.
And a dream journal? No, I don't keep one of those. What I do do though is, anytime I have a 'bad' dream, of any kind, I tap it out (just as if it had actually happened) as soon as I wake up.
You'd be amazed how much crap that gets out of your head.. plus it seriously drops the number of negative dreams you have - cuts that whole "recurring dream" thing right out.. leaves your brain full of happy juice.. which is what we all want, right? :)

Sorry I havent replied but I have not checked the mail account that I set my blog account up with ..... in which of course I also recieve mail..... the head it spins.
Brain research in the past couple of decades is just starting to appreciate how complex and interesting the human brain is. There was a time when scientists thought a brain scan indicated an unchanging aspect of the brain, rather than a snapshot of an organ in a constant state of change and growth. The brain is so much more "plastic" and changeable than once thought. Thank goodness!
oh yeah. To people who say the brain can only decline, the key word to search for is "plasticity" - that's what the researchers use when they're discussing the fact that the brain is, contrary to popular wisdom, very, VERY malleable.

Trust me, one of the first things I learned when I started climbing four years ago was the importance of protein in the muscle recovery process. I get a LOT of protein.
But, you know, thanks for your anonymous concern :)
