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. 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”). If you still can’t stabilize your dream, you may decide to try and wake up with the aim of remembering your dream as accurately as possible while its still fresh in your mind. Hand Touching[edit] Rub your hands together and concentrate on the rubbing. Spinning[edit] You spin around in your dream much as you would if you suddenly want to feel dizzy in real life.

Screws Head Style Drive Types Washer Type Nut Types by Boltdepot.com The 15 Most Annoying Video Game Characters (From Otherwise Great Games) In video games, just like life, there's a certain percentage of people who just need a good punching. The percentage may even be higher in video games, if that's possible. What makes the offenders on this list even worse is that they reared their ugly heads in what are otherwise some of the best games ever made, making the whole experience just a little worse each time. Baby Mario from Yoshi's Island This is an infant version of everyone's favorite plumber who must be protected by Yoshi (that is, you). Why he annoyed us: Did you know that human beings are biologically programmed to find a baby's crying unpleasant? Every time Baby Mario is separated from Yoshi, he bawls his lungs out, releasing one of the most ear-piercing sound effects in video game history. Miles "Tails" Prower from Sonic the Hedgehog 2 Sonic 2 introduces us to Tails, a sidekick who wants to help Sonic save the world. Why he annoyed us: On one hand, Tails is a cute, lovable fox. Almost.

whocalled.us 10 Ways to Survive a Snowstorm There's no truer statement than the old adage "you can't control the weather." You can't even predict it with complete certainty. As advanced as our meteorological forecasting techniques are these days, weather systems are changeable forces of nature. The National Snow and Ice Data Center defines a blizzard as a "violent winter storm, lasting at least 3 hours, which combines below freezing temperatures and very strong wind laden with blowing snow that reduces visibility to less than 1 km." If a blizzard is bad enough, snow plows and salt trucks won't even brave the elements. Backpacking Food for the Soul The 5 Scientific Experiments Most Likely to End the World Let's face it, we really trust science. In fact, studies suggest that the vast majority of people will murder another human being, if a guy in a lab coat tells them it's OK. But surely in their insatiable curiosity and desire to put knowledge above all things, science would never, say, inadvertently set off a chain of events that lead to some sort of disaster that ended the world. Right? Well, here's five experiments that may prove us wrong. Recreating the Big Bang Scientists are kind of pissed that they weren't around when the Big Bang happened. The solution, science says, is to make it happen again. God, 1. What Could Possibly Go Wrong? Well, first imagine an apocalyptic nuclear holocaust. So, Basically It's Like...

Nuclear winter, the robopocalypse—heck, just a simple camping trip gone wrong could leave you trapped in the merciless grip of nature’s fury, with nothing but your own wits and the questionable advice of this list to get you out alive. But to quote the wise men who have walked this fair earth in ages past, questionable advice is technically better than no advice—so here are ten unusual survival tips that could end up saving your life. And as a disclaimer, don’t actually try number three. The specifics of wilderness survival change a lot depending on what part of the world you’re trapped in. So what if you don’t know how to fish, or don’t have any gear? Tampons are almost as useful for surviving in the wild as condoms—and as weird as that sounds, it’s not even a little bit sarcastic. If it doesn’t float, stuff some of the cotton into the bubble. Condoms also burn.

Why working at home is both awesome and horrible How to talk to someone with mania – Bipolar Talk One of the hardest skills to learn is how to deal with someone who is manic. There is plenty of advice around for helping a depressed person. In fact, this seems to come naturally. Mania is another thing altogether. Being close to a manic person is rather like standing near a burning building. The manic person is often acutely aware that their behavior is unacceptable to you, and may not care at all how you feel. Here are some general principles. Don’t make threats. Don’t lecture. Do stand up for yourself. Don’t go along with crazy ideas. You’re not the police. Do tell them what you think. Don’t blame yourself for the manic person’s actions. Do hold them accountable… afterwards. Don’t have alcohol or drugs accessible for them to consume. Don’t be afraid to call in the cavalry, whether this be reliable relatives or friends who can help with a dire situation, or even the police. Do get out of the situation if you can’t handle it. Dealing with rage: mania often leads to rages.
