I slept desparately last night.

I don't know why, but it's like by body clubbed itself into unconscious paralysis with a baseball bat so that it could fit all the dreaming in. Even when I woke from some death-defying dream, I was paralyzed and my barely-conscious mind was racing a mile a minute to keep the dream from fading.

I know this tends to happen following a day of uncharacteristic exertion, such as http://davesbrain.livejournal.com/360022.html" .

I recall plummeting to the ground in a four-man parachute, bracing for impact, coming in at about 60mph. At least the ground was flat and snow-covered. We might survive if we tucked and rolled.

During one of the calmer dreams, I very distinctly recall being in advanced math class and discovering new friends. One of which was child of Evo. Her username was XEFF1. I remember this very clearly.

While I unfortunately did not have the pleasure of meeting your wife, I will say from a single guy's perspective that I would beg, borrow or steal any drugs necessary to not wake up from a dream involving the Child of Evo. (I would prefer the Evo herself, of course, but it doesn't look like that's going to happen.)
 
I haven't been dreaming much lately; still I will share my all-time favorite (and one of the few that I'll never forget).


Basically, it was just me and some other guy (no one I'd recognize at least). Anyway, I walked over to him, grabbed him by his mustache, and tore it off his face (like you do military insignia, or some such, during say a court martial). And I actually said to the guy: "You don't deserve to wear this mustache!" :smile:

Must be an internet virus going around, as I inexplicitely slept for 16 hours on Friday...

Thread 'Predictions for the Nobel Prize in Physics 2025'

Similar to the 2024 thread, here I start the 2025 thread. As always it is getting increasingly difficult to predict, so I will make a list based on other article predictions. You can also leave your prediction here. Here are the predictions of 2024 that did not make it: Peter Shor, David Deutsch and all the rest of the quantum computing community (various sources) Pablo Jarrillo Herrero, Allan McDonald and Rafi Bistritzer for magic angle in twisted graphene (various sources) Christoph...

Thread 'My experience as a hostage'

Thread 'My experience as a hostage'

I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
