It's my pleasure! and perfect, that works for me (〃￣︶￣)人(￣︶￣〃)

And I'm right there with you haha, the nighttime is the only time that's quiet enough to process my thoughts for the day.

Most people in your proximity are also awake in the daytime, plus all the birds and the car noises and the buzzing of the bees, work, errands, etc; I like to think there's too much electromagnetic pingponging to feel controlled sadness (which is necessary to feel to be healthy and well rounded)

I'm also in the 2AM night owl club, so high five !!!

high five!

I'm all too familiar with the late night processing...and yeah, you're right, there's just too much going on during the day. That's why I like the night. I can be in my own world...but that's also why I like the early morning. Oh, how I wish I could be both- a night owl and an early bird. But I can't be both, unfortunately...

Tonight's mood feels like a "Luna - Boy You're Snow" kinda vibe. How's your night going?

That is incredibly relatable.

Totally different energy when you can be awake before the sun rises and after the birds wake up, but still just as beautiful ! Just gotta wait until one of those random weeks where you either forget how much time has passed, or get called out of dreamland way earlier than anticipated haha.

I like miss Luna's voice; the music video has that old-school camera quality that is just *peak*

Tonight feels like a "Dissolved Girl - Massive Attack" night (❁´◡`❁)

ooh you're having a groovy night. ahh the guitars just kicked in, lets fucking gooo!! This sounds like a song that'd be backing a montage of the mc loosing themself in a night of drugs, gives me that kinda vibe. almost psychedelic.

I think I heard of Massive Attack from their Teardrop song. That was the opening theme to house md, right? that show was so damn good.

also, i fucking love dreams. As in, I find them so fascinating. Our brain, for some undiscovered purpose, just makes little movies for us to watch at night, as we sleep...how thoughtful!

I've been wanting to do some experiments regarding dreams and see if there is a way to influence people's dreams. Imagine if you could go to sleep and you wake up, in your dreams, in whatever country you really want to visit. of course, it'd only be a simulation of your brain that's why it'd be best to visit places you know really well, like a childhood home or something like that. granted, it'd have to be a lucid dream ofc, but how cool would that be?

Yessir!! I see the vision, 10/10 vibes (ﾉ*ФωФ)ﾉ

Also holy shit, I just listened to the theme song and that is definitely from Massive Attack; good ears my friend!!! I only ever watched the occasional episode -- I think I've seen more house memes than episodes of the actual show LOL

Seconding the dream statement, it's truly like saving your game, only to start up a new one in another timeline before you come back to the original one (. ❛ ᴗ ❛.)

I'm certain they've gotta be doing that already hehe; there is no realm of potential influencing that humans have not tried to conquer, so there's no way they just let your internal dreamscape out of that equation ╰(*°▽°*)╯
If they haven't yet already, I wonder if one day not only people can influence dreams, but they could also merge on that timeline and join you there, like a secret hangout with the sleepie weepie society

Either way I think people definitely gotta talk more about the internal landscape of their dreams, I love hearing about it!

multiplayer dreaming is a very interesting idea but idk how you'd do it. Perhaps a psuedo-dream state and some invasive "neurolink" sort of tech? But that's quite the techno-dystopian nightmare. I wonder if there is anyway to achieve multiplayer dreaming without that.

also, I want to look into what sort of sounds encourage the brainwaves associated with good sleep. If music has the power, then even look into whether or not music has any effect on the type of dream (good or bad) and then open up an establishment with live musicians who play very specific music meant to encourage both good sleep and good dreams. Patrons would come in, pay for their time, maybe we help them along with beers or downer drinks and then serenade them in ways that scientifically promotes sleep and allow them to enjoy a nice restful sleep. Hopefully I'd be rich enough that I won't need to make money off of this and I could extend the service to anyone who needs shelter and good sleep. That'd be the best use of this discovery

I think you'd have to go with the 'tab on the tongue' or 'mushroom in the tummy' route if you wanted to avoid the chip in the brain; if you could get on the same radiowave as your trip buddy with your eyes open, then maybe you could lie down and have the tops of your skulls touching, close your eyes, and enter a daydream to dream dream multiplayer pipeline.

Granted, you'd both have to be in full symbiosis and really good at riding the wave, but I think it's possible!

I have never heard of an idea like this until right now, and I have to say that is a very cool idea. You'd probably need it to be a tavern type situation, where they could book a little room or cot to snooze in, especially cuz being sleepy is more of an impairment than drugs and drinks sometimes (ﾉ*ФωФ)ﾉ Otherwise that would be so fun! The collaborative energy of the people there would probably amplify it too hehe

yk...now that you mention it, I have a story idea where the characters use music to amplify their imagination and have a whole improvised adventure in their heads. Like, they'll listen to jazz while pretending to be in a cafe, smoking a cigarette and solving a mystery, then the music changes and so does their adventure. I've planned each story to just be a different adventure that the two characters are improvising together. Perhaps we can use acid or mushrooms to enter into a pseudo-sleep state and basically have the two participants improvise a dream together, while drowsy. This way, when they get out of the trip, it'll feel like a dream they shared. I wonder if mushrooms work that way though, like if two people talk out loud and trip together, can they have very similar trips? if so, add in a drowsy state and it'll feel like multiplayer dreaming. I'm gonna see if I can find some papers on shared trips.

also, tavern is a pretty cool idea...or an inn and call it "inn-somnaics" lmao

Inn-somniacs is an absolutely fire cerebral cortex pull wow ╰(*°▽°*)╯

I think that's a great idea; it combines the tried and true hobby of all road trippers and passengers (listening to music with headphones in, head on glass, imagining self in an infinite amount of fantastical scenarios based off the song), with the added layer of exhaustion, and teamwork between two real humans !!!

I think it would take a few times of tripping together successfully before they could consistently connect brain cells, but they could definitely hit a point in where their state of mind is unified enough to be in the same world in-between the space of eyes open and eyes shut (。・ω・。) would definitely be worth looking into papers for it, or even DMT trips for inspiration on imagination interjections !

hehe, thank you! For some reason I remembered the name of the opening and hearing the name massive attack just rang a bell

and that's fair. House md definitely has a lot of memes lmao.
I watched that show when I was younger. I was def not mature enough for the emotional depth of the later seasons. Perhaps I should rewatch it at some point, but my attention span is so shot. ToT

also, random question but have you seen Psych?

if they're already trying to see if they can influence dreams, then I'm so interested in reading whatever results they publish. For me, it randomly happened to work. I have spent 7 years living in Belgrade, Serbia, and so one day I was just browsing the streets around my house on google maps street view while listening to russian post-punk, and the room was quite cold so altogether it created a very intense few hours down the memory lane. I fell asleep afterwards and my dream scape seemed very inspired by those images. That was also my first time lucid dreaming, funny how that works

Hahaha, there's definitely a lot of shows where in hindsight, there should've been a bit more regulation on how easily accessible it is to spongey brained young people. Beyond the medical aspect, some of the backstories of the patients are just sad af. I wonder if you'd like it as much on a rewatch; my adjacent show for that era was Bones, and on a rewatch as an adult I could not get through it all lmao

I've never seen it! The show font looks familiar, but no recall looking at the characters. Good / Bad show?

The lucid dreaming part makes sense for that! You must've been mapping out your route subconsciously while you were reminiscing; in theory it would make it easy to lucid dream if you already have an awareness of your surroundings, so you can allocate all your dream tokens on actively interacting with the environment. Did ya do anything of note with your dream liberty, or just lots of wandering?
