                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[I have a vested interest in this subject. I am a confirmed insomniac. Have been studied, probed, injected, inspected, detected, infected, neglected and selected. (<I>you can get anything you wantâ€¦) </I>They stuck all kinds of gizmos on me and then saidâ€¦â€Okâ€¦sleep!â€  SO after this sleep study, they generated this 650 page report. At the end of it, it said, â€œ â€¦in conclusion, you are not capable of or have difficulty initiating sleep.â€  :shock: <br><br>Duh. I could have told them that from the beginning. In any case, to the point of the thread, I don't dream. Can't remember last dream I had. One could probably argue that I am most likely always in a dream like state since I'll go 1-3 days without sleep at times. But I'm sure there's another blog site for that. Anyways, I'll write some great tunes during those periods. IMO. The sad part is, I never used to write them down. <br><br>So I went and bought a small pocket digital recorder some time back. It works great. I've got hours of me noodling around. Sometimes, there's some great stuff buried in the middle of it all. Great right? Not really. I would end up not being able to reproduce some of this stuff! :shock: I sit there saying...what the heck was I doing there? Alas. I now stop myself and say..I am now playing a XYZ chord or progression. <br><br>If you are wondering. Yes, it does suck to be an insomniac.]]></content:encoded>

Don't know but it sounds like a good concept for a movie.<br>It should be called "The Matrix" and one of the characters should be called Morpheus (Greek god of dreams).<br>In it, everyone is asleep . .  . . . . and everything is just a dream . . . only they don't realize it . . . . and then the main character breaks out of the dream . . . wait, I think I had this dream.]]></content:encoded>
