I've always been a bit odd when it comes to observing faces when on the verge of sleep - I recall drifting off in front of the telly many, many years ago, and becoming half convinced that some old woman on a chatshow had the face of the devil. I snapped fully awake, and the feeling disappeared.

More recently, I've been lucid dreaming a lot. It's a fascinating experience but frustrating, in that my attempts to transform my self-aware dream state into the ultimate in virtual reality porn continually fail. I've noticed that when I become aware I'm dreaming, the dream begins to fade quite rapidly and I soon wake up. Inevitably with an erection, which seems rather wasteful considering the circumstances.

Oddest lucid dream - if you can really call it that - I had was when I believed I was not dreaming but had actually crossed over into another reality. I was aware I had gone to sleep, and was excitedly telling people (in the dream) that I had arrived from another reality. Highly weird. I recall testing to see if I was dreaming by examining an enamelled wall tile (again, in the dream) and observing in in the minutest detail - the cracks, flaws in the grouting etc - which led to the conclusion that it couldn't be a dream because it was obviously a solid, real object. Shortly after, I woke up. Bizarre.
I've had a lot of lucid dreams in a narrow period of my life (being locked up) & my brain became adept at fooling me with them. At first I'd dream of still being in the free world, but wake up back in my bunk. Gradually it would occur to me that I might be dreaming because I could remember (while in the dream) getting let down like that before.

I'd do a mental version of pinching myself. Hard to describe. It's an internal act of will of some sort. It caused the dream to unravel every time. Sometimes it went similar to what you described. I'd stare at the ground & try to focus in on the rocks, the door frame, whatever. Other times it was an internal thing, a mental poke that got things fading out.

Later on I'd dream that I was out, as in, had gotten out, made parole, or whatever. It was always a happy, exuberant dream that began to fade the moment it occurred to me that I didn't remember the details of my making parole & getting processed back out. The most vivid one involved me mentally pinching myself by looking at the gravel outside a back door to a metal building. My eyes zoomed in & all the little details popped up. Rocks. Grass. Weeds. The heat of mid-day in the summer. I sorta celebrated internally because I was then convinced that it was real & I wasn't dreaming (I've never suspected that I was dreaming outside of a dream but this never occurred to me).

Later I was riding in the passenger seat with Tephany, a friend I was writing IRL, & it hit me that I couldn't remember getting processed out & I instantly realized it wasn't real. We were passing a big grocery store on the town's main street. Very crisp, detailed & realistic. Not at all dreamlike. I didn't say anything but she turned & looked at me right as I realized I couldn't remember getting out & said "Jeff, I'm so sorry". It faded out from there, but slowly. We just kept driving for a bit as I tried to hold it together. It was like she was a bit embarrassed for me for getting fooled.

It usually wasn't the case that I suddenly understood that everyone was my one of my own dream-generated characters. It was a sense that I still wasn't really, legitimately there with them because I somehow didn't get there correctly. They & their world were still real. The understanding was that I just had to go back for a while longer until I could make it out the right way.

This sort of thing is basically what "magic" has always been about - from the "visions" of Daoists, Buddhists and Gnostics, through the celestial excursions of Swedenborg and Blake, to "astral travelling" of occultists today.

e.g. "Dream Yoga" is one of the many techniques still used in the vast arsenal of Tibetan Buddhism, and things like crystal-gazing, mantras, rituals, gazing at weird diagrams, etc., have been used as adjuncts in all sorts of cultures. (It's actually quite surprising how similar Daoist magic is to Western ritual magic - very similar use of gazing at peculiar diagrams, for example, and similar sort of "bureacratic" structure to the envisioned celestial hierarchies/angels/spirits. There seem to be different clusters of similar techniques that have different weighting in different cultures.)

It's all about getting into that "liminal" state of consciousness, similar to the hypnagogic state, and having conversations (or at the very least seeming to have conversations) with the entities you meet - in scientific terms, it's as I said above, probably something to do with the brain's internal model of self/world getting unmoored from reality-testing (which happens naturally when you're dreaming, but can also be induced from the other end, from a waking state).

Ofc, the hypothesis that's extremely dubious is whether talking to a "spirit" in one of these visions can actually induce the "spirit" to affect the real world (which is the theory). Similar problem with OOBEs - whether what you see in the OOBE state is things in the real world (e.g. a secret note put by someone else on top of your wardrobe, for example). Those sorts of experiments with OOBEs have come up dry, but I don't know if the analogous tests have been done with magic per se.

But even outside that kind of reality-testing, these experiences in and of themselves can be great fun, and possibly could have a psychological effect. e.g. even if there's no link to the real world, it's a plausible hypothesis that some of the things you meet and talk to in these visions could be self-representations by the brain to itself of deep instincts, so you can "re-program" your behaviour (as Jung hypothesized). Again, this remains to be tested, but it's quite an interesting idea.

#14413

I once dreamed I was made of marshmallow and being pursued by giant flesh-eating boots.

Does that mean anything?

Please don't answer.

#14414

Just following up on that about magic. The really whacky hypothesis would be as follows:-

1) you induce a liminal state
2) you meet "beings" in the liminal state, have conversations with them and petition them to do various things
3) those beings have a life of their own, the visionary state is a kind of interface with human beings
4) if you've petitioned them appropriately, they have the capability of making real some alternative highly unlikely possibility - as it were, reaching into another universe, and bringing some outré possibility from that universe into our own.

As an amusing example, consider Jack Vance's wonderfully-named "Spell of Forlorn Encystment". Vance was one of the few fantasy writers who "gets magic right" in his books - in terms of how magic has been viewed by those who traditionally practice it, or think they're practicing it - i.e. in terms of petitioning these supposed "spirits", "gods", "elementals", etc., to do things for you. (Vance calls his liminal creatures "Sandestins".)

So basically with a spell like that, what happens is that, by means of getting into your liminal state and making the appropriate sounds and gestures, you invoke the Sandestin before you and ask him to imprison your enemy underground.

The Sandestin, having access to both our world, in which the possibility that takes place is that the ground your enemy is walking on remains solid and he carries on walking, and an alternate universe, in which the possibility that's vanishingly small in our universe - namely, that the ground swallows him up - takes place. The Sandestin brings that possibility from that universe into our own, and voila, the poor chap is "forlornly encysted" :D

Fucking hell. Some people just can't wait, can they? All we know is that there was an explosion - maybe two - and that sadly, there are fatalities. Far too early to say if it was a terrorist attack, and it's not impossible that it could have been something like the result of a gas leak, a serious problem with the pyrotechnics etc.

IS Scented Nectar still around?

I thought she might be interested in this article The New Class War because it appears to be more about the themes she was touching on recently.

The article appear on American Affairs Journal and apparently was founded by some 2008 Harvard graduate dood who was interviewed by Politico Meet the Harvard whiz kid who wants to explain (he who must not be named because derangement will happen)

Anywho, it starts more or less like this:

None of the dominant political ideologies of the West can explain the new class war, because all of them pretend that persisting social classes no longer exist in the West. Neoliberalism—the hegemonic ideology of the transatlantic elite—pretends that class has disappeared in societies that are purely meritocratic, with the exception of barriers to individual upward mobility that still exist because of racism, misogyny, and homophobia. Unable to acknowledge the existence of social class, much less to candidly discuss class conflicts, neoliberals can only attribute populism to bigotry or irrationality.

...

Fortunately, there exists a body of thought that can explain the current upheavals in the West and the world very well. It is James Burnham’s theory of the managerial revolution, supplemented by the economic sociology of John Kenneth Galbraith. Burnham’s thought has recently enjoyed a revival among thinkers of the center and center-right, including Matthew Continetti, Daniel McCarthy, and Julius Krein. Unfortunately, Galbraith’s sociology, along with his economics, remains out of fashion.

Feminism was encouraged and promoted because it was a useful tool to break male bargaining power. You substantially increase the work force and depress wages.

The postwar settlements were a combination of employer-specific welfare capitalism and universal or means-tested, social-democratic welfare states. In West Germany, welfare capitalism took the form of “codetermination,” or union membership on corporate boards. Japan, following intense labor conflict after 1945, developed a system of corporate paternalism and lifetime employment for many workers. Organized labor was weak in the postwar United States, but the “Treaty of Detroit” negotiated among automobile companies and unions was a successful example of informal business-labor corporatism. Low levels of legal and illegal immigration, and social pressure on married mothers to exit the work force to become homemakers, strengthened the bargaining power of mostly male workers by creating tight labor markets.

It goes on about Multinational Corporate Consolidation and Global Arbitrage :

Perhaps the iconic product of the era of globalization is the Apple iPhone. According to Konstantine Kakaes in MIT’s Technology Review, producing every single component of the iPhone in the United States, in addition to assembling it in the United States, would at most add $100 to the cost of the device. But Apple’s profit margin would be much smaller than is the case with its present production of the iPhone in six factories using unfree, low-wage labor in China (plus a factory in Brazil, a concession to Brazilian import substitution policy).

Tax-and-subsidy arbitrage :

Tax-and-subsidy arbitrage is the practice whereby firms take advantage of differences in tax rates and subsidies in different countries in order to similarly boost profits without boosting productivity. Companies that evade taxation by incorporating in tax havens like the Cayman Islands, Panama, or Ireland do nothing to increase productivity. Neither do transnational companies that relocate to China to enjoy not only low-wage, unfree labor but also ample subsidies of various kinds, including subsidized electricity and tailor-made infrastructure and worker education programs.

Immigration:

While using legal and illegal means to promote mass immigration, in order to discourage unions, suppress wages, avert inflation caused by tight labor markets, and to provide a buyer’s market in nannies and gardeners, the managerial elites of North America and Europe also champion “diversity,” which reduces the likelihood that workers of different ethnicities will unite in a common front against economic elites.
