I have dreams every single night, and remember at least one of them once I wake up. Always have. Only exceptions are when I'm extremely tired or when I drink chamomile tea before bed. Found out about the latter last summer, and it admittedly kind of freaked me out; not having/remembering dreams is just... weird.
In recent years I've run some experiments on what works for me and what doesn't. '6h for work - 9h for rest - 9h for whatever' division seems to work wonders for me, with one day off in a week.
Trying to sleep less than 9h just messes everything up, unless I divide the sleep into two sections. Funny how that works. Extra 1.5h of being awake, especially during the productive night hours, was quite nice. But I hate waking up, and doing that twice a day is just simply too much!
I suppose I'm on the opposite side of visualization spectrum. I can easily conjure images so realistic and detailed that they pass for the real thing. I can also add texture, smells, temperature, sound, etc. but I can't fake weight or pure white color which for some reason always turns out somewhat grey or beige.
I don't think much in words however, most of my thoughts are in images and sensations. Which does make verbal communication somewhat challenging at times.
Sometimes the realism of visualization worries me somewhat. Many mental processes have a tendency to get a bit out of conscious control, and it would be quite troublesome to no longer know which of the things I see are actually real. On the plus side, I can visualize paintings on my walls, without actually buying any! I like having no decorations in my home, which seems to confuse people. Perhaps I should start comparing it to a blank canvas...
It's sad that we often outlive our pets... but I suppose it's still better like this than other way around.
Sama. Eipä sitä erityisesti huvitakaan päivystää puhelinta koko päivää. Jos joku haluaa soittaa, niin sopikoon ajan etukäteen. Ärsyttää väki, joka olettaa että kaikki ovat vuorokauden ympäri välittömästi tavoitettavissa.
Upgrading PC for your mmo of choice? Dedication! :D
In the settings, among the other character customization things. You should know this unless... did you press randomize in character creation? D: Please tell me you've at least turned off motion blur...
No idea who that is, but I'm still leaving an upvote just for the template and beating of kids. >:)
In general and if you don't know the person you're making the recommendation to, agreed. But I know several people I'd definitely recommend (and have recommended) Arch to as the first distro. Even just the installation process is so educational, it's a worthy starting point, after some general youtube videos perhaps. If someone just wants to take Linux for a quick test drive, Arch definitely isn't the way to go.
Although, I'll admit I'm not sure how to describe the type of people I'd recommend it to. If their interest is less practical, and more theoretical. Or if they get really into their hobbies and like to tinker and poke at things to see what happens. Or if they just have an endless curiosity and need to understand. Surprisingly many people I know fall into these categories.
I wish the amount of sunlight I get would regulate the growth of my hair too. I'd be bald for good!
That was pretty much me when I first decided to try installing Arch... at 2am.
One cool thing about remembering dreams you've had is that some stories might turn into storylines. For the past few years there has been a dream story going on in my sleep. Every now and then randomly there's another dream that either continues or relates to that story. It's pretty fun, like following an interesting TV show and waiting for new episodes!
