I played gasoline chicken growing up in the countryside, and no one died or got hurt. You'd take a 2-3 gallon can of gas, make a puddle in the field, then slowly walk away, pouring gas on the ground. After a bit, the puddle gets lit on fire and you have to keep the gas pouring and the flame moving. Longest time wins.

Don't you tell me my business again.
Around 1985 or so, I had a dream that a plane crashed into the twin towers and made it collapse. Except in my dream it was one plane and it hit the Empire State Building first. When that building fell, the force from that made one of the towers fall. I hardly tell anyone because it sounds so much like STDH.

Also in this dream I was also doing coke with Traci Lords.

No one ever believes I sometimes have a client that's a literal dictator. I think he has been in power for at least 30 years now? Also I can't pronounce his name. The first time I encountered him I met one of his drivers. By the next job I swear that driver was a minister of something​. Nuts.

I'm interested to know if anyone else can sense cardinal directions, like a feeling in your gut. I have really good geospatial awareness and navigation skills, and it seems to be that part of it is I can feel which cardinal direction I'm travelling in or facing. Every direction feels different. For example, I went to Mexico City for the first time and my friend took me to see Teotihuacán. I didn't know where it was, but when we were driving, the feeling for east kept happening, so I asked if that's where we were going and it was. Well, that's my weird story about being in tune with my instincts and the Earth, it's been fun.

The cries of the dead are terrible indeed; you should try not to hear them.

It's probably magnetoreception. There is some sketchy evidence that humans are possibly attuned to magnetic fields, obviously to a greater or lesser extent. They fairly recently rediscovered that we have magnetic field receptive cryptochromes in our eyes. I have a very good sense of direction, but I don't "feel" east/west in a synaesthetic the way you seem to. If you can reproduce it reliably, science might be interested in you to be honest. Could you sense cardinal directions in a closed room? With your eyes closed and spun around?

This is because you know the difference between morning vs afternoon and have good enough eyesight to find the sun.

Yeah, not outright calling bs, cause who knows, but usually these things have a much more simple explanation like solar orientation. Just cause you don't know you're doing it doesn't mean you aren't.
