One of the tightest bands ever on stage.
Gravity is not a force, it is a boundary layer.
Everything is coincident.
Love: the state of suspended anticipation.
To get any appreciable distance from the Earth in
a sensible amount of time, you must lie.

While the music is good, this thread should be in the open discussion forum.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('vision-master', 'O')nce you get airbone, you can fly forever!
((wow a topic i can relate to, you just triggered an outpouring from me hehe))
This statement is untrue for me.
I have had a handful of flying dreams in my lifetime and they have been very hard to recreate, though I admittedly have not done much more than experiment with dream control.
((story time))
When I was a teenager I had my first flying dream, I still remember it vividly. I was walking through my town (tucson) which was different than it actually is, more like a ghost town with scattered buildings, dirt around and tumbleweeds going past.
I remember looking at the tumbleweeds and then noticing that it was very windy, I started walking into the wind and it got harder and harder. eventually the thought came into my head that the wind was going to get so strong that it would lift me off the ground. Of course the next thing that happened was that it DID lift me off the ground.
(I have since found that this happens to me in dreams all the time, if I think of something it happens, I've used it a couple times to make things happen in dreams, no overt control for me but if I was to think of something and then turn around or go into a different room etc then what I thought of will be in the new location).
I was basically floating, just a few meters off the ground, the next sequence of actions was all reactionary to things that popped into my head (very much like a douglas adams flying experience where you have to be distracted in mid-fall to avoid hitting the ground). I thought 'I wonder if the wind will take me up very high', and went up very high, (that was very vivid, i remember the buildings falling away below me) then I thought 'oh my god I'm so high up! I hope I don't fall' and of course the wind immediately stopped and I fell.
At this point, I accidently dispelled a popular myth about dreams, the one that goes 'if you fall in a dream and don't wake up and hit the ground you'll die in real life'. I fell all the way to the ground and hit it, but strangely was not hurt and didn't wake. One second I was falling and experiencing all the terror that goes with that, the next I was sitting on my ass on the ground.
After that dream I have had a few other flying dreams, and a few other 'controlled' dreams but they are rare for me and I can never just 'fly' I always have to have some external reason for being able to do it.
In the next flying dream I had, I sortof remembered the first one in the dream and thought about trying to fly, I found that I was able to fly, sortof, by flapping my arms like a bird. It was very unstable, and I constantly ran into the 'douglas adams principle', I would suddenly think 'this isn't possible' and it would become impossible and I would fall. The trick to flying became very much about avoiding thoughts related to not being able to do it.
In that next dream, I had another issue, I was not able to do it in front of other people (in the dream), I flew around for a while having fun, then stopped by my school to show off to people, but when I tried to do it in front of them I wasn't able to, I managed to pull it off a few minutes later only to see everyone was looking somewhere else. (analyze away).
The dream after that I was able to do it in front of others, but I've never been able to do it without flapping my arms (the first dream was the only one where the wind was the logic).
Every time it's happened it's been an amazing experience, one I long for sometimes when I'm walking
, controlling dreams is a very elusive goal as well, at least for me. In my dreams, the closer I get to 'knowing' that I'm dreaming the closer I get to consciousness, every time I've absolutely confirmed I was in a dream I immediately woke up because of it. So the trick is to become aware of it without becoming TOO aware, very hard to do and I think part of the reason why these types of dreams are so rare for me, basically something has to happen in the dream that makes me aware on some level that I'm dreaming, but is not so overt that it actually enters into my thought processes.-
