i don't know if someone pointed this out yet, but thus far it's impossible to read text in dreams

why? :confused:

It's due to the parts of the brain that are involved (or not, for that matter).

Bullsh!t. I've read text in dreams before -- I've read phone numbers and realized that they were incorrect or had the wrong area code in dreams before.

dude, i saw it on Batman The Animated Series, you CAN'T read text in dreams!!!!


seriously, i think it's a phenomenon, do some reading on it. then get yourself checked into one of these sleep monitoring facilities, you might have a wierd brain!

Maybe you were looking at what your brain wanted to understand to be text and you thought you were actually reading it, but I highly doubt it was anything more than your looking at something and your brain going "I want to think that I'm looking at a wrong phone number" and that the idea of a wrong phone number is all you remember, not actually reading it.

Don't get all worked up, Mill, jesus :roll:

I don't get it. Marwan's face was all over the TV that day, right? Yet he walks right into a crowded nightclub. That's like Bin Laden marching through Times Square.

The concept of "text" really doesn't matter in a dream since it's his own brain thats generating the messaging. Even if it was incoherent scribbles, if his brain wanted to make sense of it , he would. And if you go along with that train of thought, you can't really perceive anything with certainty in a dream either. Everything you see in a dream is generated by the brain, so you see what you want to see and you make your own interpretation of them.

If you're in a crowded nightclub what are the chances of you noticing one person?

Back in my first year of college we'd write lines and lines and lines of COBOL code. Sometimes, as I was drifting off to sleep, I'd see scrolling lines of COBOL code go through my mind. "Environment Division"....GAH!

Someone remind me what happened to Palmer to get him out of office again. The reason I ask is when the current loser Pres. is trying to say that he shoudl resign.. Mike responds with "3 different presidents in as many days would kill the public" (or something like that).

anyone else catch this?

He dropped out of the re-election campaign, so Keeler won. The 3 Presidents meant Keeler, the VP, and then someone to replace him since he wanted to step down.

Last night the show officially jumped the shark when the secret service interrupted that mission to arrest jack bauer for breaking some asshole's fingers. I'm sure our government would work against itself while trying to nab the most wanted man in the world...

The line was "3 different presidents in as many hours"

cut and pasting frame by frame manually sucks.. I'm looking for something where I input the avi file, tell it a time span in the video to export to animated gif automatically

here's how i do it (camstudio is free; image ready comes with Photoshop, not so free)

1. cap clip with CamStudio (open one instance of vid in media player (classic); pause; open mpc again and open video. cap clip from that second instance of mpc.

2. put clip in folder

3. using Imageready, select File -> Import -> from folder -> point to folder.

4. that will create the frames and you should be good to go from there.
