yep, i'm a dyed-in-the-wool floydoid, myself. anything that makes the sift gets my vote.. "Aw, I was in the kitchen, Seamus, that's the dog, was outside..."

Funny story about this song -- Someone had brought a dog to the recording studio during some downtime of the Meddle recording sessions. David started riffing some blues and the dog started howling. They were stoned and thought it was hilarious. The hardest thing, they said, was in keeping the laughter off the sound track.

I LOVE this topic, passionately. I've always been an intense dreamer. Vivid, colorful, and sometimes even sound-tracked. lol. no BS. There's a bad side to that, vivid dreaming means rare, but bad nightmares... really bad, even intense pain can be felt in some. I remember just about every nightmare I've ever had since I was 8 or 9, but also every wonderful dream as well. Fair trade.

I'm getting pretty good at lucid dreaming... honestly it takes practice... a lot, A LOT a lot. I originally thought of it as a way to control bad nightmares. I've been working on it "consciously (so-to-speak)" while I sleep... that sounds stupid, but that's the way it is. I realize I'm dreaming about once every couple weeks, especially when I get a chance to sleep in really long. I pretty often just realize something in a dream is just wrong and stupid, so I'm all "wait a minute here... this is all wrong... this is a dream. lol, ok, screw all this, I'm doin my own thing." ...and I do.

A dead giveaway is if you find yourself underwater and able to breath... or if you realize you can see fine without your glasses, of if you have an unusual anything that isn't right in the dream... it's like seeing a tell in poker. You see it and you think "HA, GOTCHA. dreaming." That's why they suggested using your hands as a "tell." "Tells" work, but it's no overnight deal. It takes practice.

Also, they said to tell yourself before you go to bed that you are going to have a lucid dream. That works well in general for dreaming I've found. You can often tell yourself that you'll have a vivid dream and you will. I wouldn't try it with nightmares. Often, telling yourself that you won't have one will wind up fixating your mind on them and the fear doesn't help prevent them for sure.


Strangely enough I found flying enormously hard to do at first. It really required believing full-bore that it was a dream for sure and that you could by will overcome the normal rules. The first time it really worked was in a sort of nightmare where the only way to get away was to fly, so I did, out of fear, thinking "this is just a stupid dream and that thing chasing me isn't real, I'll just fly away and it can go f--- itself". Still the flying was scary as hell the first times and I often woke up, heart pounding. It's not really as easy to control everything as you'd think. Some things just resist being manipulated. odd.

Still the best dream I've ever had in my life was a couple months ago and purely lucid. It had a plot, drama, danger, rescue, beautiful and changeable scenery, mountains, a city, a soundtrack!, and when I thought I'd finished the story properly to it's right end, I thought I could go on... but no. This is a right and good ending. I chose to end it and wake up.

I don't know if I buy into the technology of it for now, but lucid dreams are real and controllable and a freaking blast most of the time. As for having them all night, Bull S--t. You don't dream all night. I have to sleep in pretty long to have a dream long and vivid enough to turn lucid. And as others here have said, that late in sleep, it is still hard, even after all the practice, to stay asleep and enjoy it.

That's just my experience anyway.
Geesh, long post... Midnight explains it...
Off to sleep, perchance to dream.

It's Juno Reactor and Don Davis together. From the Matrix sound track.

The new PAC-3 and soon to come ABL are actually really effective, if I remember correctly the new PAC-3 is at 89-91%. However, it is only meant to defend against small scale launch, like a couple of SRBM/SLBM, IMRBM, and maybe one ICBM. It's really really hard to fend off ICBMs, esp when some one can launch more than say 3 or 4. These days all ICBMs cantains about 10-20 warheads and all are MIRV(Multiple independently targetable reentry vehicle) So that means the system will need to track up to 80 warheads, and wardheads will not only flare as seen in the video, it will also deploy counter measures and decoys makes it even harder to track. I am not opposed to the system, it's a great safty net against "rouge states" that are willing to launch 1or2 warheads that they have for an all out attack. But like theo47 said how can we be sure that it won't start the "Arms race" again and that some future "warmonger" president won't use it as a tool to start a nuclear war.

Lol! it's a joke! look at the title it's even college humor....
i had to sing this song in music class, i have heard it over a million times and i can tell you, thats the one from the Disney sound track

This is why I love my Amelie sound track.

The music is "Comptine d'un autre été: L'aprés midi" by Yann Tiersen (Track 4 on the CD)

The slow motion with the slowed down sound-track always makes these kinds of clips the best.

Does it play the famous sound tracks we hear today?

I saw him live in Seneca South Carolina. It was alright but highly sound track driven. Ironically I offered to post some of his videos here, but he never emailed me. I guess there are many routes to the Sift.

If only all of natural selection had a sound track...

bura bura off the black hawk down sound track
