  • I’ve recently been trying to train myself to lucid dream frequently. The first thing anyone will tell you is to keep a dream journal, and holy shit does it help. Started journaling them on the 2nd of January, and even just a week later I started having very vivid dreams every night. All senses included; and as of a couple days ago, fairly critical thinking (mental math). I haven’t managed to have a “lucid dream” yet, but I’ll get there.

    For the sake of completeness, a lucid dream is a dream in which you’ve become aware that you are dreaming. Whether you can control the dream or feel that it’s vivid is a separate concern.

    Pretty cool stuff.




  • Why are you conflating “ghetto”, “gangsta,” and black? 95% of it is about where and how you grew up.

    There’s plenty of white guys who, although will never experience and understand what it’s like to live in America while black, understand the struggle of growing up in the ghettos, being socioeconomically alienated, and being pressured to look to the “gangsta” lifestyle.

    These three can often overlap, but are importantly separate things. A white guy in that situation won’t know what it means to be black like I do, but I will never have a fraction of their knowledge and experience of what it means to grow up to the streets.
