I like how everyone goes for all these psuedo-intellectual names to try and sound like Tool and fail so bad, when it's really not hard to come up with names in the style of Tool.

I know, Right...

(looks over at screen name)

Are there anyone in here that are visual artists..?
The reason I ask this is because after first hearing Lateralus so many images were flashing through my head I had to draw some of them. I can only imagine so with the new album on the horizon..
Did any of the past albums strike a creative streak in any of you guys..?

That album is so solid and fresh everytime it's put on.

Didn't you need some Pig Destroyer stuff from me awhile back? I completely forgot.

This totally qualifies me as MX Sap coming after what I replied to Jake before.

Okay last night I was really dreaming but almost half awake but not quite Lucid Dreaming. I was kind of self aware but not really and all the sudden I hear Sarah (my significan't other) whisper the words "I love you", I thought that she might have been on the phone so I wake up looking around for my phone and it's not with me and this is the point where I figure out it was a dream. I actually get up and find my phone to see that noone called.

I told her about it this morning and she thinks that she might have actually said it and this immediately triggers a question in my head, can there be astral communication? What do you all think?

I think you just killed the thread again.

[QUOTE=Moses]I think it depends on whether you're in love with the girl or not. Sex without love is such a petty and forgettable act.[/QUOTE]

Haha, I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree; at this point, I think love is petty at 17-18 yrs old. Sex is the sh!t.

That's pretty interesting. I've never had such a thing happen to me, so I'm not really sure if it's possible or not. Very interesting, nonetheless.

haha wow maybe shes just playing wit you. Maybe you were thinking of her before your body fell asleep.
Once i was lying on my bed waiting for a handphone message, and the lights were off so if i recieved a message there would be light. so i was waiting and i fell into sleep paralys. my body couldnt move and i actually remember seeing light, but i coudlnt get out of the paralys. later i realised i did not recieve any message. :(

The thing is I've had a licentious past and I really lost my virginity very young. I guess I just grew up really fast.

No, some day YOU'LL learn that sex is the only thing that matters, when all of sudden your wife turns into an old hag. Something tells me you won't "love" her as much when she's dry pvssy.

edit: excuse this 'licentious' post hahaha

I was gonna say, 'yowza.'

Except at extreme moments of horniness every once in a while, I'm not interested in having sex until it's something meaningful with a girl I really like.

cigaro - Very interesting story. Could you have been dreaming the entire time, perhaps?

Sex isn't as fun when it isn't meaningful.


That is why at this point in my life, I will say sex is overrated.

Anyone smart would deduce that I have not had anything meaningful, which would be correct.


This is relevant to Tool, because I am listening to 4 Degrees, a song about opening up. :)

Anyway, what does everyone think of my astral communication story?

Oh and Kage I have an album for you.

Extol-The Blueprint Dives

I could see you liking this.

The power of suggestion is a real kicker.

Jake - You and me both. ;)

[QUOTE=Moses]Anyway, what does everyone think of my astral communication story?[/QUOTE]
It's shaky, but things like that do happen to me quite a lot. I think when you have a close personal connection with a person, there is some kind of astral connection as well. I find that my brother and I have experiences similar to what you talked about, although, obviously with significantly different details.

Some cool stuff on there.

[QUOTE=Kage]/rubs hands together.[/QUOTE]
So I sent it.

To all of those talking about sex:

Having sex is fun. It doesn't matter who it is with. I have a few female friends that I am close friends with, but if we are horny we will have sex with each other. It doesn't mean we are all out sleeping with a million people or whatever. What it comes down to is that sex feels good. It is nice being close to another person for that moment. And may I repeat that it feels great.

Sure, some will say that having sex with someone you care about feels better. Which it may (or may not), at times, but the problem is that a large percent of these people have not been experienced enough of these other relationships, or regular relationships for that matter, to make a critical judgement on the matter. But, in my opinion first (or the first couple) time sex is great (but wear protection).

With the protection that is available today, in my opinion, there is no reason to not have sex with random people if you feel inclined. One may bring up the possibility of contracting an STD. Well, to be honest if you are wearing protection the chance of that happening is slim. Another may bring up the chance of pregnancy. Well, if you wear a condom that is not likely to happen. And a decent percent of sexually active women are on the pill, so that helps.

In the end, having sex is fun, and with the right precautions, is just as safe, if not more safe, than a wide spectrum of activities that young, immature, people are involved with.

Erm.. you took it a bit far, stop now.


So new album next week...

one thing about real dreams is that you are not aware until you wakeup. but i was aware and my mind was seeing something else.

The production is so crisp and clear, yet it still has that spastic grind energy to it, and doesn't sound over-produced.

The guitar is the heaviest and best I've heard. And the riffing in every song is completely different, which is amazing.

The vocals... aren't harsh at all. They're the only bad thing.

The drums play such catchy beats and are so fast... woooo.

I wouldn't call it bliss, but yes it's probably the best grind I've heard.

About the astral projection; unlikely it was anything significant. Your unconscious will have the desire to hear her say "I love you", and she apparently loves you, so may have thought she said it, or is perhaps only saying it because you asked and she reconstructed the memory. I believe there are some things that are paranormal, but that story dosn't strike me as being particulary paranormal at all.

About having sex with friends; sex leads to loads of emotion, and emotional attachment for most people. Casual sex, especially with people you know can lead to one person getting the wrong idea, and friendships can suffer or break up for it. Sex for fun is totally fine, I'd just recommend them being strangers (So long as you make sure you use protection, preferably both of you, if not, definately the guy to avoid STI's). The best thing is sex with someone you care about a lot though, in my experience. I've been with my current girlfriend for over two years now, and it's all great. Casual sex wouldn't be quite as fulfilling. I couldn't see myself laying next to someone for hours afterwards, etc. and just being intimate in other ways. Sex isn't the 'be all and end all'.

Well the thing is, I'm really into astral projection and lucid dreaming and such. It could just be nothing but I'd like to figure out if we're capable of having conversations with other people while we sleep. It's really interesting to me and I'd like to look into it more.

I do lucid dreaming every couple of nights. Isn't that when you can take control of your dream? Or if you wake up from a dream, go back to sleep and continue where you left off?

[quote=cigaro88]one thing about real dreams is that you are not aware until you wakeup. but i was aware and my mind was seeing something else.[/quote]

Being aware of your dreaming while it is occuring is called lucid dreaming.

[QUOTE=Trintar_VIII]I do lucid dreaming every couple of nights. Isn't that when you can take control of your dream? Or if you wake up from a dream, go back to sleep and continue where you left off?[/QUOTE]



its REALLY only cogniscent dreaming.


If you go from a waking state, immediately into a lucid dream its called a WILD, or a waking induced lucid dream


controlling your dreams is a totally different aspect of dreaming

Well, I can do both. While I'm dreaming, I'll be fully aware that I'm dreaming and then just "run around" doing stuff that doesn't seem to happen the way it was originally intended.

i cant imagine having sex with some of my friends and stay the same. i rather have sex with a stranger than with my friend.



* sleep is beautiful

The majority of the dreams i remember are lucid. It's not often i'm not in control, because i don't like not being in control. If i do stuff that is not normal for me to do IRL, more often than not i wake up.

Though this thread is pretty damn wierd now, isn't merkaba's thread in politics still open? (Rob complaining about conversation topic in the tool thread :eek: )
