Anyone ever have a series of dreams that almost seem so real that you don't realize you're dreaming, then you wake up and think, holy shit that was fucked up...but you're still dreaming and the cycle repeats itself all night long?  I'm talking about dreaming without medicating too.  No hallucinogens, no weed, hell, I didn't even have a drink last night.  I'm referring to the type of dream that is going to fuck with my head for the next couple of days until I figure out if it was bullshit or if it was some sort of warning or foreshadowing of things to come.  It's early here...I'm still mourning the loss of Gord Downie, and I've been a bit emotional the last few days.  I don't know.  But you, my fellow Dudeists are the only source of aid, comfort and release I have so I post...I post away.  Sometimes I just wanna say FUCK IT and get it in the old chevy shitwagon and head for the coast and leave everything and everyone behind, but I feel that would be a dick move, there's still people (Little Lebowski Urban Achievers) that depend on me. I've been awake for about 20 minutes, I need some coffee.  Abide my friends, abide.
Fortunately, I'm adhering to a pretty strict, uh, drug, uh, regimen to keep my mind, you know, uh, limber

I don't have that but I have looked back on things from a long time ago and I can't remember if it really happened or if it was a dream.
But then I grew up in the 70's. I guess it goes with the territory.

"I wonder, I wonder, what you would do, if you had the power to dream at night any dream you wanted to... and you would of course be able to alter your time sense, and sleep say... 75 years of subjective time into 8 hours of sleep, you would I suppose start out be full-felling all your wishes. You could design for yourself what would be the most static life, love relationships, dancing girls, gardens, music beyond belief... and then after a couple of month of 75 years of night, you would get a little taste for something different and you would move to a advantageous dimension where would be some dangerous involved and the trill of dealing with dangerous, and you could save princess from dangerous dragons, make wonderful explosions and blow them up and after you done that for some time you would think about a new wrinkle to forget that you were dreaming so you think that was all for real and to be anxious about it, and then because that would be so great when you woke up, and then, you say - well, like children's who dare which other on thing's, how far out could you get? What could you take? What dimension of being lost, of abandonment of your power, what dimension of that could you stand? You could ask yourself, because you know you would eventually wake up... then you would get more and more adventurous and you make further and further out-gamblers about what you would dream and finally you would dream about where you are now. You would dream the dream of living the life you are actually living today, that would be within the infinitive multiplicity of the chooses you would have, of playing that you weren't God, because the all nature of this God according to this idea is to play that his not. So in this idea everybody is fundamentally the ultimate reality, not God in a politically kingly sense, but God in a sense of being the self that deep down basic whatever there is, and you are all that, only you are pretending you are not." -- Alan Watts
