Comments on: Dreams http://comicsidontunderstand.com/wordpress/2008/05/30/dreams/ I have no idea whether ''The Stars Are Indifferent to Astronomy'' is a good album, but I might have to buy it just on the basis of its awesome name Thu, 09 Feb 2012 06:13:16 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.1 By: Amberosia http://comicsidontunderstand.com/wordpress/2008/05/30/dreams/#comment-4705 Amberosia Sun, 01 Jun 2008 17:12:38 +0000 http://comicsidontunderstand.com/wordpress/2008/05/30/dreams/#comment-4705 This reminds me of another xkcd I saw a while back about dreaming. "I'm gonna go comatose for a few hours, hallucinate vividly and then maybe suffer amnesia about the whole experience." This reminds me of another xkcd I saw a while back about dreaming.

Kinda like someone zapped the "previous channel" button on the remote for just a nanosecond, or I got sucked into a strange parallel universe and back. Or some sound or smell will trigger a brief flashback or strange feeling. Sometimes I can even piece the dream all back together by the end of the day.

When I woke up I belched and everything went away. So on the bright side I think I can rule out burp power as one of the components.

If I roll over, I can watch it fade away (yeah, just like that...). I figure it has something to do with the bloodflow to the brain - if I shift, gravity affects it and the bit of brain that's holding the dream gets interrupted.
