O-M-F-G! I wish I knew the source of this picture, but finding something on deviantART using the search function is very difficult. I guess few people actually add tags to their uploads.

Hahahaha, don't mess with that little pony!

This music is mindblowingly and heartopeningly awesome: !!! Crank up the volume !!! I'm using headphones, and I'm listening to it so loud that I'm worried I might wake people up. Also quite good: "Entering Equestria" and "Party Soft"

Maybe you have experiences with weird sleep states and can share your stories or give some insight. Every few months I have a peculiar sleep-related experience. Interestingly, if I really intend to let energy act freely in the head, I get results, albeit often scary. I'm unsure whether it's a necessary fear-overcoming part of my journey or something less useful. I had dreams. Not really nightmares, just some minor issue with a being pestering me, struggling a little, then regular dream scenes that didn't make too much sense, just some mixed stuff. Eventually I woke up and I don't remember exactly in what kind of state I was, but I felt compelled to turn the light on. Then with the light on and my eyes open, I lay in bed, and suddenly I noticed how insanely tired I felt. Despite eyes open and lights on, I was really struggling to not fall asleep again, and for some reason I did try to avoid that. I guess my controlling mind wasn't at all comfortable with consciously witnessing the process of falling asleep. It was clear to me that I needed to get out of bed and move if I wanted to avoid falling asleep like that, but when I had formed that thought, I already was in a weird state where I saw my room with the lights on just like a moment before, but it FELT like non-lucid dreaming. Just as if someone flipped a switch that said "dream consciousness". That moment felt a bit like endless loop logic, because afterwards I thought I had been dreaming that I tried to wake up. (Don't try to follow that line of logic, haha.) After some reflecting... I might have fallen asleep with my eyes open for a few seconds. Basically, because I was so extremely tired (no idea why) and it felt like something was pulling me back into the sleep state, I couldn't avoid falling asleep, but I could keep my eyes open, because I was more conscious than what would be normal. I would exclude that I had been disturbed in a vulnerable dream state, because my waking up felt natural and there were no noises.

Sleep experience - waking and dream state mixed
Owledge replied to Owledge's topic in General Discussion
Well, in this case it definitely wasn't all a dream, because I DID turn the lights on. This night, I had another interesting dream state. Parts of my dreams were quite creative (some comedic scene and some music), and at one point I dreamt I was sitting in front of my TFT and it was flickering like hell. ... Do you know the phenomenon where when you close your eyes you have brightness pulsation in your vision? It can be explained electrochemically, but nevertheless, I had that after waking up from the TFT flicker dream. BTW the comedic scene (doesn't make complete sense, but whatever) was about a cop who got his police car stolen right from under his nose. He was talking to the police station about something and then this dialogue ensued: "Sorry, gotta stop here. Got a car-jacking." - "What type of car?" "... Eh... difficult to say." - "Can we track it?" "... Yes, I think so." The joke was that it's difficult for him to say because he's a cop and it's his police car that got stolen. -

This is kinda sad, but interesting idea to explore:

Here's another good picture-is-unrelated:

Really not sure what to make of it. If it's real than that guy is one of the dumbest idiots I've ever witnessed. If it's a parody, it's a really bad one. I would comment on it, but I don't want it in my activity feed for other people to notice it exists. Why did you have to post that? I have to watch so many Fluttershy pictures now to wash away the stain. In other news, I made above idea into a proper picture. That desk immediately reminded me of Phoenix Wright. P.S.: Not that it surprises me any bit, but Youtube's insanity is spreading. They have now removed the right-click-menu option to stop video download, for Flash and HTML5 player. They are enforcing(!) a waste of bandwidth. I also tried to switch from Opera to Firefox, because it doesn't use up full CPU so often and crashes less often, too, but there were some ridiculously selective restrictions standing in the way of configuring it the way I like in Opera, e.g. an addon for changing keyboard shortcuts offered customization for pretty much anything, just not that which I needed to customize the most.

I remember this scene from Indiana Jones:

This looks so awesome on my TFT:

Not sure whether I posted this before...

Head pressure reduction techniques suddenly not working?

So if he doesn't change it, that gives you a clue that it might be not that easy. Especially since he mentioned being depressed. You can't tell someone to stop being depressed. The skillful path is to have a positive effect on other people's lives when they can't help themselves without something external changing.
