This is my point. You try too hard to seem crazy or random or "insane" for some inane reason which I can't quite grasp. However, you just come across as someone who's trying to seem insane, you don't come across as insane in the slightest.

I used to try to be insane, but then I looked around, and I saw everyone I disliked, all the little ants who lack any trace of being unique, trying to be insane, and I realized that was what I was doing, and how annoying as hell it must've been to everyone, so I knocked it off. unfortunately I knocked it off a bit too late, and I had an overweight blubbering idiot with bad b.o. who never changed his clothes and pretended to have multiple personalities, and to be evil, and a whole bunch of other stupid crap, following me around praising me for being so crazy.

I admit, sometimes I do try to be insane for the sake of being insane.

Most of the time I just enjoy not making any sense. E.G Rambling thread

Which gives you a +5 respect in my book.

Of course, my book doesn't actually mean anything to anyone.

Hey heres a question to riddle your dreams around:

Have you ever really died in a dream? I mean Really. Or do u find you wake up immediately because the mind has no idea what death is like so it just causes a dream error 404 and ends.

on a side note, experiencing something that should cause death but you remain alive doesnt count(eg gunshot wounds or drowning but finding you just dont need to breath anymore), which also ties into lucidness as most people often find their aware of the dream when this happens as they should really be dead.

I've always had a firm grasp on my dreams but I often find I prefer just to let the dream take control and see where it takes me. Sometimes Its more of a hinderance knowing your dreaming pulling you out abit from the atmosphere and others it can give you the courage to proceed to the depths of your scary thoughts knowing you've got cheats enabled lol.
In relation to flying I've always found it differcult, having to really concentrate to maintain altitude, especially if Im carrying something heavy. but it can always get you away from something you dont like, well unless your inside.

For awhile before I really became aware dreams would often go blury and it would feel like I was closing my eyes in the dream so I'd try to open them to see and stay in the dream but I'd just end up opening them in real life and waking up lol so close them if you want to see better.

I've never died in a dream that I remember. Actually I think I did once, but the dream was from a third person perspective so that didn't really count. It wasn't me dying, it was my dream world duplicate.

Eugh. I was just reminded of the weirdest thing ever.

Okay, dreams for me make no sense at all. I don't mean that they contain nonsensical features, I mean that what is happening now and what happened five seconds ago have nothing to do with eachother in the slightest, though sometimes the dream has a constant theme E.G One dream was about monsters that looked like people but hid inside mirrors, then jumped out as their duplicates. Except the dream kept changing it's mind on how the monsters worked and, it being a dream, I would never notice the inconcistency until I woke up.

Sometimes the dreams make sense. When I say make sense, I mean every single aspect of the dream looks like it has been thought about and carefully designed in my head and manages to stay completely consistant to the point I confuse it with reality.

The dreams that make sense are somehow terrifying to me. A few times I actually have confused a dream for reality. Like once, I dreamt my Dad woke me up in the morning which woke me up in the real world. I didn't notice that I'd been dreaming the wake-up call, it just felt like I'd been awake the whole time, but Dad had been asleep all morning.

Anyone else get this?

I've never died in a dream. My dreams are about nice things like candy and rainbows.

Rainbows are very stable, I'll have you know. And candy is a joyous occasion for all. Cats back for everyone!

I love your way of thinking.

And Invertin... Wow. Just wow. I wish I had dreams of that scale, or at least remembered them when I did.
And that dream of being woken up sounds very familiar to me... As if it had been my own.
But I can't remember anything of the sort, so, huh...
