Seltzer is just a regular soda, I assume?

Yeah - CO2 dissolved in water.

Which is FUCKING TERRIFIC I might add.

I might honestly be able to live happily on a diet of seltzer and pomegranates.

I don’t remember ever tasting anything in a dream.

What? That sucks. I can smell and taste in dreams, once I got shot in the face and tasted like real blood in my mouth.

I don’t feel pain in dreams though.

I found Waldo!

I can’t feel anything in any way in my dreams. Usually I’m not even in them. And they’re always in third-person.

That’s interesting. Third-person dreams are more common in children, and tend to become less as a person ages. But there have been questions regarding adults who report a high incidence of third person dreams, specifically regarding whether these people also experience third person autobiographical memory, which is interesting in that adults that have this memory frame have distinctly different psychological profiles from those who have a first person memory frame.

EDIT: After you read this, close your eyes and remember reading it. Are you watching yourself read it? Close your eyes again and remember remembering reading it. Are you watching yourself watch yourself read it?

I… what? What is third person autobiographical memory?

You are just a box of knowledge, aren’t you Zen?

Anyone know about the game engine one guy here posted in Show Off before the revamp of the forums? I think it was called Octo…something… Wayback Machine didn’t help

Thanks!

my memory must be first person, I can easily remember things as they happened, but I can’t really remember what I was doing or how I looked like at the time

my memory is no-person

it does not exist

EDIT: I experienced total ego loss on some potent…things (can we even mention pseudo-elicit substances anymore?). It was very strange. I knew that my body belonged to me but I wasn’t me. I referred to myself in third person to those I was with and said we would discuss certain topics when I returned tomorrow ("ME: ā€œI would advise you speak to Chris about that tomorrow when he returnsā€).

^that’s the reason I’m not experimenting with potent… things…

Cake for Dinner ! Yay!
