Are y’all looking for a fight? Dang, kids, put your tits away. It was posted informally, not for debate.

They’d rather argue about pens

I can lucid dream pretty well after years of practicing and can end up in those once a month or so. Other times I'm too aware and wake myself.

I've also had a TON of inception leveling recently, where I "wake up" about 2 or 3 different times, but each time still dreaming. Those are a little wacky.

How does one practice? Fascinating.

I’m not talking it out of existence. Just acknowledging it doesn’t exist just yet. He’s in class in Knoxville, Monday? We’re all happy.

 

[Johnny Majors]

If I'm not mistaken those are "players only" hats.

Do you think they need a 40 yr old middle reliever with 2 years of eligibility who tops out at 59mph?

Hubbs said on the radio they have no idea what the corner from OM is going to do.

$9.99 please

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Anybody else hearing anything about the OM DB transferring here? There is some smoke about it on VQ.

 

[Revived2002]

Hubbs said on the radio they have no idea what the corner from OM is going to do.

Hubbs was commenting that people on the radio have no idea ?

Or was he himself on the radio commenting about people having no idea and, if so, which people?

does Hubbs have no idea??

What’s going on?

Inquiring minds want to know !


I is confused

There are many tricks and probably a modern google search would field best practices these days. There are plenty of online communities building shared knowledge on it.

I started about 15 years ago by both taking a sleep supplement (I want to say some combo of valerian root and htp-5 - but this isn't at all necessary) and doing one very simple thing as I fell asleep: repeating "I will lucid dream" in my head. Somehow that level of awareness can carry over to mid-dream.

Over the years I've found other tricks. Here's one of the oddest, yet well known amongst lucid dreamers - try crossing your arms over your chest. Just last night I was in this pose and had insanely vivid lucid dreams over and over. Maybe it is the tactile sensation of your fingers on skin that makes you aware, idk.

If you want to go further and really nail it down, there's a trick - practice your "token action" while awake. It is the thing that makes you aware you are either in a dream or awake. Think of Leo's spinner in Inception. The most common are looking at a clock or phone (because in dreams the time will change or the phone will look different each time you glance at it) or...made famous by Waking Life (great movie I recommend) is flipping a light switch. Light switches don't work in dreams. So...basically practice one of these actions 5, 10, even 20 times a day with the intention and focus of knowing you are awake because things are acting normally. Then you'll increase it happening in dreams, but will become cognizant that you're dreaming. And then off you go doing whatever floats your boat.


Side note - I've found a superior way to fly in dreams, at least for me. Rather than trying to flap your arms or getting a running start, just imagine you have a jetpack on and boost yourself off the ground like a rocket. I've had a lot of success flying for long periods with this.

 

[UTProf]

Give me a ball point pen on a hard board at the Dr's office or wherever, or an electronic pen ..and I look like I never have written in my life.
Seriously. my penmanship is like a 10 YO these days.

Perfection

If you want to instantly improve your handwriting, get yourself a stub nib fountain pen. You can get cheap ones like the Pilot Metropolitan for $25.00 and it's a great starter pen. It even comes in the right color:

And I wasn’t talking it into existence, just stating what’s easily accessible that, to my knowledge, had not been posted. I’d trust that nugget, regardless of what it entails, over the clowns on Twitter that are working on behalf of the biggest troll to ever have an internet connection.

We know he’s applied to UT
We know he’s not applied to UCLA
As with all internet users, that means…

 

[franklinpence]

Just great! Now my google's broken.

And you're welcome @Glitch

So your Google is not sure what you mean?

 

[KptVFL]

So your Google is not sure what you mean?

I'm not even sure.

The tweet was today. Ole Miss insiders acknowledging he’s on UT’s directory is a couple of days old. Him being on UCLA’s campus is today also. And your last 3 ’s would have Neyor on last season’s roster…instead of enrolled in Austin.

Met her once. That woman was intense. She was so down to earth but bigger than life at the same time. Crazy.

Definitely a big personality

 

[SSVol]

There's a pen debate that I missed? Fountain pens are the absolute best. Don't hit me with those newfangled rollerballs.

In all seriousness, I have a fountain pen addiction and yes, I can stab a b#tch with a few of them. I just got my very first cutomized nib (you can have them ground for different types of writing) and it's super fun to write with. So much of everything is digital now that using a fountain pen feels almost grounding and I say that as someone who is definitely a techie. I have found that people really do appreciate a handwritten note these days. They feel special.

Prof, you really shouldn't be talking about your nibs around this bunch of Neanderthals.

 

[TechnoVol]

He only won $600? Seems a little cheap.

Yep and it wasn't cash. It was a gift card to the Vol Shop.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

UT admitted Igbinosun as a transfer. He has to register for classes no later than Monday. He's at UCLA now on an OV and will stay through tomorrow. He submitted paperwork at UT early in the week. He could still apply and enroll at UCLA on the same timeline.

UCLA will make a push because they need a CB and have a spot to take one. They have a JUCO CB who just visited and is ready to commit, so given the timing, it won't drag out. It's going just like it was going to go.

I thought I had read he missed the deadline for applying for winter at UCLA already. He wanted to go somewhere where he could nail down a spot immediatly.

 

[Ridgerunner Vol]

M'boro defiantly does not have a small town feel any longer. It takes 20-30 minutes to drive 3-4 miles down Medical Center Blvd to get past The Avenue. We live in Blackman it's the amount of new contraction, both residential and apartment seems to be never ending. It's getting that Alpharetta/Marietta feel to it. I hate it, I moved here for the smaller feel, but it's getting too big. I may keep going SE toward Chattanooga in a few years. The Boro is closed, don't come.

Sorry it’s getting full down here also. Thanks to Thunder’s Highland people

First time I did it was scary.

I was trying to fall asleep, laying as still as I could, but couldn't quit fall asleep. I tried to stand up to go to the bathroom, but felt really heavy. I finally stood up and walked to the door, when I grabbed the handle, my hand went through it. I was a little shocked and turned around to see myself laying in bed. It scared me and it felt like I got slammed back into my body, woking me up.

Every tiny detail of the room was identical to real life, indistinguishable. Quite amazing the environment our brains can recreate.

I've done it several times since then. It's weird to talk about, because people either think you're lying or crazy. Anyway, each time it happens, it lasts longer and longer. When it does happen, I can fly around the world, fly through walls, unless they're brick walls for some reason. I've tried to fly into space, but can only go so high before i wake up.

Those only happen when I am falling asleep, but never actually fall asleep, just stand up out of my body and fly around. So dang strange to say, .

I've become aware/lucid in dreams, which is different. Instead of being in an identical version of reality, it's a dream world, where crazy dream stuff happens. Its pretty wild becoming aware in a dream. You have unlimited powers, like magic. Anything you want to happen, happens.

Sounds crazy. I wish everyone could experience both episodes, to see what its like. I would've thought people were exaggerating or just lying about it, if I had never experienced it.

Anyway. . .
