I couple of days ago I dreamt about a really really close friend from college and we had a great dream day together just hanging out and catching up. Then the dream fast forwarded to six months later and I found out she'd died of cancer and I was devastated about not having spent more time with her. I was still feeling lovely when I woke up and typing this out I still kind of miss my good friend who I should emphasise never actually existed. Since there's already a whomp posted it was basically this:  except feelings of decades old friendship. Splicer has a new favorite as of 08:50 on Sep 12, 2019 |

I have a lot of dreams of things that happened when I was a little kid that absolutely, definitely, verifiably never happened. It's really disconcerting having dreams that your brain tags as memories of things that definitely happened when they absolutely did not.

One fascinating thing about memories is that basically while they are just stored, they don't change, but everytime you pull them out of deep storage by remembering them, they might get slightly altered before being sent back to deep storage. So your favorite memories, the one you remember most often, are the most altered and wrong of the lot.

Every time you recall an event you are essentially re-recreating it with the same process used for imagining/fantasizing. This is why its so laughably easy to plant incredibly vivid memories of events that never occurred in people. A lot of folks' "earliest memories" are manufactured from their parents' accounts, rather than their own actual experience.

Len posted:My dream story nobody cares about : I can still remember a dream I had when I was a kid where I'm swimming and I notice a snake coming after me. It gets close enough that I kick it in the face and it bites me, which wakes me up and I see my cat jumping down from the foot of my bed. I'm sorry, cat.

Dreamchat: I have twice in my life woken up convinced a dream was true. In one case I'd spent a year at a different uni, and I had incredibly vivid, familiar memories of the place - the building, the lecture rooms, friends, nights out, the lot. None of it was real. Shook me for a while. The other I was utterly convinced a friend was dead, and had been for a while, to the extent I had to call them just to verify they weren't. Brains are weird.

The weirdest dreams are the ones with severe time dilation. I've had multiple dreams (usually from falling asleep very drunk and getting an uninterrupted 8+ hours) that seemed to last as long as 3 days.

I had a dream that I was floating through an atrium. There were serpents in the foliage and then my fingers turned into sharp broken glass shards and I joined a group going to Mortal Kombat.

The most recent dream I remember having is one in which Mark Canha (Oakland A's outfielder) & I fought zombies together and people bitten by zombies got flushed down toilets into hell.Bargearse posted:I swear I must be the only one who finds them even slightly interesting.

Reading about dreams is a lot less boring the hearing about them out loud because people get to the point a lot faster and are much better at filtering out unnecessary details. You don’t have to deal with all the pauses people do as they try to remember and explain something their brain is programmed to forget. It helps that the topic is in “most interesting dreams” rather than “what nonsense I happened to dream last night”. Edit: I wrote a dream here but it was too wordy and probably bad so I erased it.

My version of purgatory/not-quite-hell is me being forced to listen to someone telling me their dream. Each time I stop paying attention, they start over, but add more detail to the story. If I make it through their dream, the next person in an endless line steps up.

Plausible I guess but the whole setup is classic stdh. They probably observed someone unable to borrow books due to fines, and may have even witnessed someone else pay those fines, but I guarantee it wasn't 29c and a little girl.

Where I live, if the amount owing or owed to the government is less than 1$ (or maybe even something like 2 - 3$) they just waive it, since it costs more than that to process the transaction. Also don’t libraries waive the fees if you actually bring the book back?

Anything less than 10 bucks in Seattle you can still check stuff out, and you only have to pay down to 9.99 to be able to check stuff out again. But if it's in one of those places where Republicans try and drug test people with food stamps I wouldn't be surprised if they had a zero tolerance policy towards late fees.

Louisville KY is the same system. And while I have to enforce it, it’s always with an air of “I wish I could check this book out to you”.

Like Walmart drives mom-and-pops out. A lot of people still think that's the case, when it's the big chains that are the ones going down, like Barnes and Noble, or are gone, like Borders. And there are more independent stores, both new and used, and existing ones have seen an increase in sales.
