(thanks for the support, john and carson)
(and yes, they've argued with me plenty. the difference is, they DEBATE...
they bring forth points of their own, instead of just sarcasing.)

#70> Actually, I support that theory to a point. I do think that most dream
images are manifestations of random neurological impulses... that's in my
post, actually, if you read between the lines. What's relevant is how the
brain then creates a narrative around those random images. You may be thinking
about teeth because you're grinding your teeth in your sleep, but why all that
other stuff? 

My general approach is to take the obvious stuff out right away and see what's
left -- Sarah lives in a Victorian neighborhood, so it's not a surprise (as
she says) that she dreams about a Victorian time period. If she's grinding
her teeth in her sleep, it's not surprising she dreams about losing teeth.
Putting that together -- that her teeth are being lost because she's living
in a Victorian era -- isn't all that surprising, either. It's the added
component -- that she's apparently giving some level of consciousness to her
teeth (they're rebelling against the lack of technology) -- that I'd
immediately pursue.

(Remove the H... sorry, Sara.)

For the record, here are the topics that I am most opinionated about:
Language/linguistics
Oneirology/dream interpretation
Theology in anthropological and sociological context
Sociology and psychology
Ethics

Go ahead and ask me the carburetor size of a 76 Mustang, the economical
ramifications of Clinton's program, the systematic differences between C++
and Pascal, or whether I think Moss will take his team all the way this year,
and I'll stare at you blankly. There are plenty of things I know little about,
and will readily admit as much.

Actually, the crown is where the seeds are. The question is, are
those "sesame" seeds?

In re: dreams -- does anyone else have a dream "neighborhood" that they dream
about on a regular basis? I have two. One is my hometown, filtered through
most of the places I've lived, and one is my office, which is *definitely*
not my real physical office, since it has lots of secret floors and elevators
that go to them, and like that. I always enjoy the office dreams, since there
are some way cool places hidden away in it.

  The following is a question on returning to the motd screen (which includes
the last login time et cetera) after it vanishes:

On Fri, Dec 18, 1998, C. Keesan posted in Co-op item #50, response #37:

  I could hardly have expressed it better myself; how does one back up to
return to the motd screen after it goes whizzing by?

It's hard to tell what games the mind's playing at any given time. Mine likes
to pun for instance. Once I dreamed that I'd died, and that a group of friends
were holding a funeral, and one with a Southern-ish accent mourned of me
walking between the veils. A few days later, I was at a do in A2, and went
through a doorway where my Val and Val Szopko were chatting, so I had to walk
between them. I was halfway through before I saw the pun (which is why the
accent was important). One of my many precognizant dreams, too, though a
rather mundane one. =}

As to the scrolling issue, I have my telnet set to buffer 250 lines. that's
one solution for getting around the "whizzing by" issue.

You can read the motd by typing "motd" (or "!motd", whichever's appropriate)
at the command line.  If it scrolls by too fast, try "motd | less".

        Africa has Mt. Kiliminjuaro(sp?).  Doesn't a volcano erupt in
Lion King.  Must leave Australia volcano less and glacier less.

There is volcanic activity along the great rift in Africa, through Ethiopia,
and along the Red Sea (I think).
Kilimanjaro.

One more trivia question:
How much did the lifeboat oars for the original Titanic cost?

(There is a weird trivia contest going on at work, you see.)

Is there any utility on Grex that will allow you to punch in an IP # and 
find out which domain it goes to?

The oars for the Titanic cost $19.12 total?  How do you know that, 
other?
