Thread: Hi everyone

I'm really happy to hear your pain is improving!
All the best for your continued recovery, it'll be nice to have you back on the boards!

I'm glad you feel better.
Meeting ground is the Moon, yes? Pity, that everytime i manage to get there, I see only dust and rocks ... But earth is so nice from there, and that soundless environment is also nice.

That's great to hear Nomad; it'll be a good thing to have your unique voice ranging these forums again, and It's an even better thing that your voice is back to being able to range at all -- congratulations!

Nice to have you back, wakingnomad!

Nice to see that you're feeling better

Hey. Glad to hear you are improving. Push that shit out, Get health brother!

Likewise, I'm glad you're feeling better.

The forum seems to me to have stagnated in the last year. Personally I'm not sure where to go next, can't keep doing the same experiments over and over, it gets too boring to even work. Previously we'd argue with skeptics who'd show up and say 'if shared dreaming were real it could be proven with this simple password experiment', as if they're experts in something they're completely unfamiliar with. Now we don't even get new skeptics, and I haven't seen anything new from anyone else either, myself included. Maybe you can shake it up a little.

I think the forums are beginning to make a comeback, especially Beyond Dreaming. Not only have a few of us decided that trying to use science to prove or at least get people to try and prove a lot of the phenomena described in BD is worth the time and are making regular posts here, many of the scientific discoveries and technological advances are rekindling a lot of the long burnt out flames of paranormal phenomena and their discussion. For instance, I never thought I would believe in any of this shit, and now I do. Stagnation? Depends on your perspective, but I am a skeptic to the core and have been my entire life, and if I recognize the legitimacy in a lot of these phenomena or at least their significant possibility of existence, then I would say we are making some headway on DV.

Also, welcome back WakingNomad, I hope you continue to get better. My father has lived with chronic back pain my entire life and despite all that has maintained a positive attitude, and the kind of pain he experiences is stronger than 90% of what I've ever experienced in my life, you can just tell. So, I feel for you man.

Snoop: Its nice to hear that. I agree that kind of skepticism is a good thing.

For myself personally, the primary issue now is what to do with it, how to integrate it into my life in a constructive way.

We can try to 'share a dream' at some point if you want to. Just decide if you're interested, and when you're interested, and I'll try to get enough sleep that night. You don't have to 'do' anything, just be open. Then I'll tell you my dream first, before you tell me anything about you or your dream, so you can tell that I'm not just reflecting back what you've told me. I'd give this about a 50% chance of working, based on past experience. If it is going to work at all it will work the first try.
