Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Guac contains the good fat, I think.

Also, it is Nature's Perfect Food made better. Mmm. Avacado.

Damn. Want one right now. Or five of them.

What is even happening?

Has anyone else here ever heard that you can't actually read in your dreams?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Has anyone else here ever heard that you can't actually read in your dreams?

Yes. This was discussed in the movie Waking Life.

I've read posts in dream b.orgs, so I don't think it's true. (Yeah, I gotta get better dreams.)

Yeah, but I've also heard you can't smell in your dreams, and as I've had dreams centered around both spilling a bottle of Obsession (I had none anywhere near me, but knew the scent well) in Pay n Pak and reading the best Regency I've ever found (I always wake up before I finish reading them, I fear), I don't really believe it.

I mean, in my dreams, I see the words, read the words, flip back a page or two to re-read the words because I've skimmed over something important... it's just like actual reading. Sometimes I go to find the book and then am sad to realize it isn't real.

Compassionately intolerant

I've written and read sheet music in my dreams. Which I've never been able to do in my waking life.

I think the thing is supposed to be that the text, if it is actually text there, and not just imagined text, will not stay stable. If you read something in a dream, then try to read it again, it will have changed.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm always surprised that there are people who have this level of memory of dreams, much less that much conscious agency in them.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I've also heard you can't die in dreams. But I have.

If I only had a brain...

you can't actually read in your dreams?
I do it all the time. Then I wake up and am bummed that the book doesn't exist.
