Reality Bites, But So Does Irrelevance

Warning: This post is intentionally designed not to make any immediate sense. However, if you do have an epiphany and somehow make something else out of it, please share your insights. I look forward to confusing the living daylights out of the next unfortunate victim to read this. Which for all I know may very well be me.

An effort of delicate subterfuge, no matter how valiant, is still lost upon a man who sees fit to fail to see that some of the rhetorical questions of life are not actually meant to be answered. What use is trying to rob a man of his sanity when he has none? So steal from him the sanity he hasn’t. It still does not succeed in making the deceived any less deceived; at least no more than a mosquito has the assurance of immortality. So instead of subtlety, use blatant deception instead. After all, one often chooses to bite into a sweet cake of lies, even while bearing the knowledge of its malevolence. So deceive the deceived, stay mute in the presence of rhetorical questions, and leave mosquitoes for dead.

*This was inspired by a dream in which a giant mosquito was trying to trick me into letting him bite me. Which was of course the same dream where I was enjoying a tofu burger when Doraemon fell on my toe. Who then tried to abort his baby, but didn’t get far because the giant mosquito bit him, and sucked out all the blue paint from him. I woke up screaming ‘albino’, and to my absolute horror, a ghostly white Doraemon was right there, calmly sucking blood out of my left arm.

Then I woke up again.

For real.

Nine out of Ten times I dream in color though contrast is usually lacking in intensity. I also noticed that lighting change has an odd way of eluding the laws of reality. Then again a lot of things in dreams aren't real. One thing though, my lucid dreams seem to always be in color. Dunno why. How bout you?

most of my dreams are lucid..and i hardly dream about the past, the colour vs black and white is inconsistent, i read that we may sometimes think its coloured because we know the colour of stuff, pay close attention the next time you dream...note too, dreams do disturb quality of sleep, which is bad, in a way..but i dream alot i reckon...hehe

First, note that when you sleep, your prefrontal cortex which allows for rationale(essentially the front portion of your brain) goes to sleep sorta...therefore we tend to dream of irrational stuff..i.e. Doraemon falling on your toe..nonetheless, to find out more ... this 3 articles might just help you understand more, nonetheless dream, like sleep, is still very much a mystery to mankind..put in your top ten list to ask god? http://www.psychologytoday.com/articles/pto-20050420-000004.html
