22 Animals Who Got Up On The Wrong Side Of The Bed This Morning. You know those days when you wake up and everything seems to go wrong from the start? Well, animals have 'em too. These 22 cuddly cuties are combatting some pretty severe cases of the blues. Remember: tomorrow is another day. 8 Great Philosophical Questions That We'll Never Solve. Confessions. 2012 Las Vegas, NV Interactive gallery installation in The Cosmopolitan that invites people to anonymously share their confessions and see the confessions of the people around them in the heart of the Las Vegas strip. Amidst casinos, restaurants and bars, Chang invited passersby to write confessions on wooden plaques in the privacy of confession booths. Chang arranged the anonymous plaques on the gallery walls like a Shinto shrine prayer wall, painted select responses on 4’x4’ canvases, and orchestrated the space with an original score by Oliver Blank.

The project explored the design of safe spaces for anonymity, vulnerability, understanding, and consolation. Inspired by Japanese Shinto shrines, Post Secret, and Catholicism. Commissioned by Art Production Fund. 2012, Las Vegas, NV. Reaction_version5. Www.shambles.net/worldclock/worldclock.swf. Venus Transit - Home.

Earth album alpha - a slicker google maps + flickr mash-up. Lucid Dreaming/Using. Dream stabilization[edit] Once you are able to dream lucidly, you may find that it is difficult to stay in the dream; for example, you may wake instantly or the dream may start “fading” which is characterized by loss or degradation of any of the senses, especially vision. Alternatively, a new lucid dreamer could easily forget that they are in a dream, as a result of the shock of the sensation. Don't worry if you wake immediately after becoming lucid. As you gain more experience of becoming lucid, it will come as less of a shock and you’ll be less likely to wake up.

Make sure you do a reality check to be sure you’re not still dreaming. As you gain more experience, you will have an easier time identifying when and remembering that you are dreaming. You can avoid more gradual fadings by stimulating your senses. Ideally you should be able to use the techniques below to stabilize your dream before it starts to fade (or “black out”).
