Oh my god, theres a story about the twin cities there...

Actually, I think the twin cities would be a LOT better off than, say, New York or something. For hundreds of miles in every direction there is farmland surrounding the twin cities...

Good start Jack. You need to expand it into a novel.

I don't think it's been mentioned, but if you like doomer fiction check out Frugal Squirrel or TB2K, they both have an extensive collection of amateur fiction, some of it very good, although not all peak oil related.

I just wanted to add my compliments, Jack. It was an especially nice touch mentioning how the doomers were ridiculed for pointing out the obvious---four years into the crisis! I agree with the others, please don't hesitate to expand upon your ideas.

Here's an interesting one from Curt Cobb: link

I just got back to this thread (I don't visit Open Discussion often), so I apologize to Chuck for the lateness!
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')here seem to be many in Denton that are PO aware, even besides yourself.

You missed out the effects of climate change, a bird flu pandemic, terror attacks and resource wars.

Only joking.

I'll add my name to the list of compliments. Good work.

So well written and plausible I could puke..
God. Ok. Here are my two snapshots of the future: link
These are part of powerswitch.com's "We Burned So Brightly" contest.

[Jack]

Nice snapshots! You've got a talent for writing good dialogue.

Both of them have a strong ring of truth...

It was clear back on page 17, Christoph, the Best Of PMS!

[medicvet]

A LOT of talent here. I have been reading the stories here, and following the links, and am very impressed. Thanks for the posts!

[PenultimateManStanding]

I read a lot on PO, global warming and such and talk to my wife about it. After a while she had a dream where she saw the street we live without all the cars always driving along and parked everywhere and realized why in her dream. I just had a dream where I saw a couple of small elephants whose skin was really loose as if they were sick and as I was trying to find my house I stumbled across a coupld of big boats stuffed with hay like Noah's Ark. I think after reading this stuff long enough it penetrates into the subconscious. Obviously in this dream I am worried about global warming and destruction of environment but PO is obvioulsy a part of all that.

Is anyone else getting hints in their dreams on PO, global warming or other such topics?

Does dreaming of naked women count?

Thats just another service provided by PO.com Direct dream delivery.

Sex dreams and PO? what kind of body lotion does your dream woman use? Is it petroleum based?

If I dream of a gusher oil well at high pressure that is definitely more sex than PO dream. I think most wells are now like old men who can't get any sort of erection, unfortunately.

Now seriously.

Dream recall is a really good tool to deal with fear and such. Just wake up slowly and lay around a few minutes. Earlier more primitive cultures who had more contact with their subconscious trusted their dreams to give them direction. It is also possible to see the future in dreams or to solve problems as the day to day consciousness is "only the tip of the iceberg".

I have dreams of being chased by military type people in a bombed out city. Never had those before I knew of PO. BTW, I always give them the slip.

I have had dreams in which I have been telling people the production figures for the world's largest oil producers. Names such as Ghawar, Burgan, Canterell, Daqing and the North Sea and their respective production figures are being discussed. Something's got to give.
