Hey there, Senator,
Another dream last night... still not lucid, but almost there. I had the distinct dream that I was watching Titanic and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade mixed into one film. Indy and his father were trying to escape the Nazi German owned Titanic, and running from deck to deck trying to outwit the guards; John Williams music and all playing in the background. Then, as if fate would have it, they stared running into bunches of OTHER guys dressed similarly to Indy and his dad, doing the exact same thing; trying to get off the boat. This in turn, (the many duplicate Indys plus dads), made the guards even more suspicious and at that moment I ended up in some desert, surrounded by fantastic red rock structures and formations, as well as giant bones of some long dead, prehistoric beast. I get the feeling that a lot of Dutch people were around there, as if there was some group doing some THING and I just happened to adopt myself into it, yet not really be an integral part of what was going on. I think my Oxford/Dutch friend was there also, but I might be wrong.
This part of the dream was quite literal; In my travels, and in foreign places, I have the tendency to survive by befriending/charming people into letting be a kind of 'add-on' of the group for the duration of however long I'm going to be there. Not that this is a bad thing, but it is the lot-in-life for a drifter... like a lone lionfish in the Kalamari desert.
Dreams are cool.
Personal note: harddrive still not working. Tried putting it in different positions; upside-down, different sides, lying down... Gone. Every backed up thing... gone. Gaatverdamme! Thats a good Dutch way of saying goddamnit!
All the best,
-e

Lucid dreams are a fascinating phenomenon. I had a bit of success in college, but was never able to hold onto the dream... I always wound up waking up pretty quickly.
There's a fascinating film called Waking Life that talks about lucid dreaming. And is a spectacularly weird movie that I recommend to spectacularly weird people.
Lucid dreaming is cool. I was friends with weird and wonderful Nick Turner and his playboy girlfriend who was working with the pioneer of lucid dreaming at Stanford. They had special masks that would flash lights on you eyelids to keep you in the lucid state.
According to Nick she went >way< crazy on a vacation to Tahiti.
Dream on...

We saw Waking Life...very cool film but their second effort was way lame. Oh and I remember Nick... >: ( He came to stay with us because Mapa didn't want him at HIS house (as weird and wonderful as he is... hahahhahhahaaa). Remember how he yelled at you Eric because he said you were making too much noise (in your OWN house??!?!)? I told Nick where to go real quick. Some of his girlfriend's lucid oddness rubbed off on him big time. Mapa, I'll never forgive you for Nick...hahhahahahha!!!
