Ha, I own a copy of that.
My daughter maintains that your mind does not in fact do this, but her explanation is equally amazing: your brain draws on the faces of passersby that you see but pay no conscious attention to, recalling them as you sleep to give faces to the people in your dream. She's a lousy neuro-biologist, as she provides no citation, but then again she is only 11.I think it's amazing how the human mind can just create new faces that you've never seen before in waking life.
Can a 'security door' stop someone knocking on it 3 times? Please explain, Iris (I'm puzzled).I had just dozed off when I heard 3 loud knocks on the front door which jolted me awake.
As we have a security door that couldn't happen in real life, and I'm left wondering if it means anything.
The last time I heard it was when my best friend was in labour with her youngest.
I'm hoping it's something good but worried about one of my friends who has lapsed back into depression. She looked so grey when I saw her yesterday.
I dreamt that there were people in my bedroom (without my permission!), and as they were going through my stuff they were discussing a surprise party for my birthday. I was so annoyed with people in my room and going through my stuff, along with a planned surprise party (which I really, really hate!), I woke up and spent the next ten minutes trying to calm down from imaginary people being annoying!
nor was it made clear how the horse was meant to have given consent.
Wearing a horse's head and sticking a duster up your bum is cheating, though.
You never told me that.
There was a ball-gag in that horse's head!
I did find a still from The Testament of Orpheus, which features a two-legged horse-man and a window which is out of his reach.
It was Goebbels food, of course.He handed me a bag full of mixed seeds and nuts that looked suspiciously like gerbil food to me.
I'm experiencing something very odd during sleep, presently.
Pain.
The opposite of anasthesia, and I can't work-out if I'm just dreaming it, or physiologically experiencing it, such that it's waking me up, then I go back to sleep.
It's as if every ache and pain I knowingly possess (and some I don't, such as toothache) appear to randomly appear once I get off to sleep.
It almost feels as if my calibrated threshold for background pains and aches has gone faulty whenever I sleep. It's probably just an age and wear thing, but it's very unpleasant.
Any undeclared fellow sufferers, of somnopseudalgia? Or am I unique? If so, that's a bit of a pain
