Cool! Haven't seen that episode in years and years.

Takeaway: there was nothing wrong with him!

For the super-lazy, Queued parts:

Ah! I should've done the time stamp URL instead! I didn't think about that. I am also lucky I saved that video by liking it, because the owner of it unlisted it. Infact he unlisted all the Stargate SG-1 that I used to watch.

Luckily, it's on Netflix 😁

lol sometimes. I saw a spider like this once while I was completely awake, crawling up the wall near my face. I thought it was physical. It was magnificient. It was small with eight slender, slightly translucent legs with yellow and blue bands, like some kind of aquatic spider that lived underwater on a reef.

After staring at it in a while in utter awe it just disappeared into thin air.

Techo just reminded me you're female.

So what I said that applies to men, forget it.

I'm sorry I can't keep track, but Techno gave me a mnemonic aid for future reference.

Cholita could learn sorcery if you stranded her in the Congo back in the 1700s.

Or if she was prisoner in a crystal/new age bookshop cellar.

Maybe not at a Chelada factory though.

But her belly dancing would improve greatly.

I saw a 2 foot one on my blanket as I was focusing on my phone on reddit, just adhd scrolling frontpage, but I wouldn't call it magnificent, I've got phobias of bugs and spiders. Terrifying is the word I'd use.

It was peripheral to the point I thought oh that's an interesting shadow and as I looked at it, it was more than a shadow but then it faded away as I switched my awareness to it.... freaked me out to be honest. Probably hindered my mindfulness/practice cause of fear.

Maybe it's something inside I need to get rid of or recapitulate over... I dunno. Mine was all black, and fuzzy legs and big eyes like 6 or so... it felt like it wanted to eat me (or my energy), which led me down a whole bunch of articles on fliers / castaneda.

Yes.

I have a picture somewhere which is remarkably like that, except it's a fly instead of a caterpillar.

But the movement was a bit too smooth for waking dreaming, and those two men were awake.

So just change it to an old fashioned web cam from the 90s. Just 2 frames per second most of the time.

And you'll have it.

And they can be brighter than that by far, but usually about half that bright.

Color is tricky. That video nailed it pretty well.

Waking dreams come in full color!

But when they are half transparent, they tend to bleach out a bit. More pastels.

Cholita's double is blue/grey or green most of the time. Just one solid color.

It really stands out as being different from everything else (not to mention, she can punch if she really wants to).

Dreams are NEVER black and white. That would be an astoundingly hard thing to produce.

(That's a tricky thing to say, so I hope someone actually looks to prove me wrong because the results will likely be amusing.)

I remember the "dream experts" back in the 70s.

More me-too Castaneda people, but anti-Castaneda. Prove you are superior, by proving him wrong with science.

"Dreams are black and white", they insisted. With no basis at all.

"And you can't become lucid in a dream. It's just a dream about being lucid!"

It's so far off base, I can't even begin to think of how to analyze that kind of nonsense.

If I pointed out that I was chatting with a full color fire/water demon the night before, who was showing me the ideal size for deconstruction of dreams that float in the air, and how to make them even brighter and more colorful by "turning" them 15 degrees, what would they say?

"Dude, you're mentally ill. That's what crazy people do."

Or, "You lie."

Which also makes no sense.

Buddhism, Daoism, Hinduism, Christianity.

All have the same experiences. They're all doing similar things.

They just use their experiences to trick others into giving up money. Like the Men of Knowledge of the past.

But otherwise, we're surrounded by tales of power all the time.

Thank you for approving of this post and commenting on it, I was nervous when posting it. Because I thought it was going to get removed/deleted, etc.

The way my mind works, I am extremely logical in all approaches, when I don't understand something or I feel it's not being explained uber logically for my own taste, I try and find things that I know or understand and tie strings to it as a way to compare and understand.

I am a huge Stargate fan and remembered this episode, so this scene(s) came to my mind when reading up on IOBs.

Thank you very much Dan

Those images will show up in your IOBs automatically.

For instance, I'd go for the young girl who got turned into tiny little robot pieces which threatened the entire universe.

She was fairly non-scary in that form.

So when your first IOB tries to scare you by materializing as a horrible zombie, tell him you prefer whoever that girl was. You can entice him by explaining she's not what she appears to be.

I'd avoid the pseudo Egyptians with weird hair.

Those guys are too angry.

Bro, you talking about the replicators ?

[-]
u/danl999 3 points 2021-06-04 20:02

No, the original little robots designed b a father to protect his child, which ended up becoming the replicators.

I could name any other safe looking characters from that show.

u/PoseidonBrain 1 points 2021-06-04 20:41

No, it was a scientist who designed/built an android which was the girl. The girl then used her nanites to create the replicators to protect her. Those replicators soon grew out of control and destroyed her world, she then went into hibernation before being found by SG-1.

Even better!

Robot girls don't get older.

Neither do inorganic beings.
