    I have never heard of that before. If I suffered from that I would hope for something nice from time to time. A naked Megan Fox would be an excellent start!

    I don't think she was the monster.:D

    What are you talking about? She and the crew persecuted a black extra terrestrial. Racist much? And then, when it just wanted a hug, she harpooned it and launched it into space.

    Oh yeah, spoilers. Although if you haven't watched it yet, you probably never will.

    I've seen it about three times. And, yeah, clearly it was about racism. :supergrin::supergrin:

    I auditioned for Lover Boy (the band) but when they started jamming, I couldn't find a way in. I had no idea what they were doing, not even what key they were playing in. I had to admit that I wasn't in their league.

    I'm not slow or anything, but it still took me two years to pack in the music and turn to acting.

    The nicest thing I've seen is a cat. lol It's been happening a lot more frequently at my new house, and I woke up one night thinking my cat was laying on a chair nearby. But then I blinked and it was gone. :p

    Turns out, I'm not safe from auditory hallucinations either! Had a nightmare the other night and I woke up to hear crows in my bedroom.

    Fortunately at this point, since I know what's going on, it doesn't scare me anymore. And it normally only happens when I have a nightmare. The hallucinations technically happen when I'm half asleep and half awake. So when I wake up suddenly, like from a nightmare, my brain hasn't registered that I'm awake yet, causing dream like images to continue playing in my brain.

    I've thought about going to a sleep doctor. But I read that the only treatment is relaxation techniques before bed. So I'd rather not waste my money just to have someone to tell me to meditate before I go to sleep.

    Everything in life has a downside and an upside, and only lies in how far you are willing to really search for them. On the one hand, you're afflicted with what could be terrifying and maddening. On the other, the experiences you're having are unlike anything a 'normal' (I use this word sparingly and don't approve of it here, I would challenge anyone to define normal in regards to humanity's aspects) would ever have, or possibly conceive of. One of my fictional characters is functionally insane, and I would love to have your experiences as a baseline to convey upon that character. But then again, that's a somewhat selfish view. Use it as fuel for writing perhaps? Keep a diary and examine yourself? See into what you see and explore the boundaries of it? Treat it like an amazing experience and it may reward you somehow.

    I personally suffer from something clinically opposite to you. I do not dream. At all. I've had EEG scans done during my sleep and my brain simply shuts down. I don't get to experience the magnificence that dreaming can give a person. I sorely wish I could and it pains me that I simply shut off. It feels empty to sleep. So I made a character that experiences that deep feeling of emptiness and I find I love him more and more as I work with him. Some good came out of it.

    I hope this comes across as encouraging and not patronising to you, I know that sometimes when I type something about someone else's afflictions it can be taken very personally. I wish nothing but the best of physical and mental health to everyone.

    I would die. I remember at least one dream a night. Hell, most of my stories are inspired by my dreams. I don't know what I'd do if I didn't have them. They're just as much a part of me as my thumbs.

    There was a month where I didn't remember any, and I hated it. I celebrated when they finally came back. So I can't imagine how hard that must be for you. :(

    There's not much I can do about it, so I turned it into something I can use. The fact is I can remember the few solitary dreams I had when I was much, much younger so I know that I could dream in the past. Maybe it'll come back. Until then, I will use what I have as best I can. I can only hope you can find a way to do the same :)

    In terms of how hard it is, it's a tapering scale. Do you remember how hard it was for you at the start? Do you still think of it like that? I accept the change as having happened, so I don't fear it any more.

    I have auditory hallucinations, too. I distinctly hear my mother calling me, and she's been dead for nearly eleven years. I also hear my roomie calling me. I rush into his room to find out what he needs (he's paralyzed right now, and pretty much confined to bed). He says, "But I didn't call you! You're weird, you know that? I'm worried about you."

    And like you, it only happens to me when I'm half asleep.

    Thanks to Sesame Street, I thought that Sherlock Holmes was a ripoff of Sherlock Hemlock when I was a kid.

    I like to drink cold milk from stainless steel, like a measuring cup, more than any other vessel.

    I cure and smoke my own bacon.

    On my apartment balcony.

    In suburban Osaka, Japan.

    I have made eggplant bacon before. Its good because you can really add whatever flavors you like and the eggplant absorbs them. Liquid smoke and some kind of hot peppers make for yummy time.

    I was responding to weird not crazy. But I suppose, when it comes to us, it's pot-ate-oe/pot-aht-oe.

    Is it sick?

    I like bacon. So all you bacon haters can piss off.
    However, the internet really did go overboard about bacon there for awhile. Along with Chuck Norris.
