Similarities in mechanism

An unintended round of self-experimentation has me wondering how similar daydreaming and regular dreaming could be in how they function. Specifically, I've noticed some curious parallels between…Continue

At the top of your profile there's that title thing, the one that says "X's Page" unless you change it. I've seen some profiles with another text box under it, with smaller text, acting like some…Continue

Events in the last few months and most notably the last couple of weeks have had me thinking about the possibility of there being "stages" to a maladaptive daydreamer's condition over time, different…Continue

I was wondering if a consequence of having an imagination as powerful as the one we daydreamers have could, in a sense, heighten our "senses". Not the conventional physical senses, but some kind of…Continue

Well, it's been a good while. Years, to be precise, though you wouldn't know it to look at me.
It's so utterly soul-crushing, and yet so fascinating, to watch time pass and the details change while the foundations of one's life remain exactly the same. I've heard it said that "history never repeats, but it often rhymes", and I couldn't agree more.

Merry Christmas, folks. Here's hoping we'll all get something useful out of this whole rugged dream-in dream-out effort, and that the day will come soon.

Another song made by yours truly, no alien languages this time! Hope you'll like it!

Change in sight
Brothers of a creed
Divinity long slumbered, now arise!
Greatest lie
Words of a false prophet
Thirst for truth and vengeance in the new
War!
Gift of fate
A promise from afar
Long sought peace is now within my grasp
Cast aside
Justice of another
Forerunners…
Awesome title

So, less than a week to go before 2016 kicks out. According to the internet, this has been the worst year in history. According to my country's weather forecasts, it's been the year with the hottest summer ever (they say that every year). According to my own experience, neither of those.
But experience is subjective. Different people exposed to the same event almost always internalize it in different ways. We are limited to our own point of view when it comes to first-hand experiences,…
