I found myself outdoors, among a small group of fellow onlookers, watching an unbelievable sight slowly unfold in the black, wintry night sky. Two planets, identical to the Earth in composition and much nearer to us than is the moon, were on a collision course with each other. They approached with the grace of a…
2 dreams dreamt in as many successive nights suggests a mysterious significance, owing to the spatial emphasis they shared. During the first, I was presented with an alphanumeric code: a letter followed without space by a two-digit whole number. I silently wondered how I could discern from this the associated location, which I intuitively knew…
Game developers need to stop striving to emulate reality. Eventually, virtual worlds are going to be so convincing that people will claim they were playing a video game when they committed a crime. “Um…your honor, when I took out the high school principal with a headshot, that was actually part of a covert operation that…
I’ve been visiting Seattle nearly everyday, recently. I sit at my computer desk chair with legs bent 90 degrees at the knee for about as long as it takes to fly to Washington. The effectiveness of the voluminous void underneath the desk drawer, which is supposed to provide plenty of legroom, has been compromised by…
After reconsideration, and a couple recent wicked dreams, I’ve decided to embark on a second attempt to document my dreams. This time, however, rather than write with as much detail as possible, which in my experience has led to the mutation of recollection, I’ll limit myself to a couple short sentences.

Buttoned shirts. 2 things: -As I button and unbutton shirts, I wonder how much damage I would sustain, and whether I would survive, if a bullet went through my chest at the location of the button my fingers are working on. -One of the advantages buttoned shirts have over t-shirts is this: they can be…
I wonder if people who regularly donate blood are less likely to die from massive blood loss in an accident because their bodies are accustomed to 1. fabricating blood in response pint sized blood loss and 2. functioning with a lower than desirable volume of blood for brief periods. Of course, no one can survive…
When I wake up I’m usually lucky enough to remember at least some of the scenes from my nightly, epic, random, morphing dreams. And every now and then it turns out that I have a dream that is influenced by something I had been thinking about the day before. What’s interesting to me is that…
This is in reference to a previous post I wrote, about dictating the events of your life in the same way you are able to control what happens while lucid dreaming. I went blueberry picking with a few people on Murphy Dome. I was so certain that the area we would be picking wouldn’t require…
I dream every time I fall asleep. It’s as if I’m always dreaming, even while awake, but I only get to experience them when I’ve passed out on the bed. Like stars in the sky, always there, only visible half the time. And then I get periodic doses of inexplicableness, like dreaming a unique and…
