What happened to the Sheets?

When we watch TV shows and movies, portraying images of the future world, quite often we see a fellow/fellowess in a big trench coat with shady eyes that has mystical brain powers; telepathy and telekinesis are usually the big hitters. At this point in time, this seems like a load of rubbish, nearly as implausible as the script attached to futureman’s role. However, deep *induced* philosophical sessions with people, beer bottles and various flora and fauna have lead me to believe that futureman is a very plausible aspect, and pretty much every guy (not to sure about the ladies, let me know) go through a state of intense mental strength at a certain point in adolescence. Now this is where the topic goes a bit nasty.

Every guy out there has had a wet dream (no-one wants to admit it). Now my point is plain and simple, try and do that when you are awake, just make yourself pop a bit of love juice. It’s pretty dam hard!!!
In our dreams, we are able to picture something that is so real, that our brain can fool the senses to be under the impression that we are doing the deed with the woman, man or object and will end in the result of the messy sheets.

Now, the key factor that allows us to be in such control in a dream is a lack of doubt. In dreams, we are in full control and no-one else is there to tell us otherwise. We are brought up in an environment of negativity which greatly decreases our ability to harness the power of our mental capability. I believe that if an individual is so in control and focused, that such feats as telepathy and telekinesis are not beyond the realms of possibility.

Your senses are very vulnerable. I hate to introduce the nerd factor, but this theory is touched on in the Matrix, your senses can be fooled by providing your brain with different signals. If you focus hard enough you should be able to see what you want to see, taste what you want to taste etc… The point is that despite our fast cars, big buildings and popcorn chicken, we are but glorified monkeys. Hardly in control of the mechanical marvel that is our body, in particular, the brain

Futureman is an individual that when asked by his mum, “what happened to the sheets?” was he himself puzzled and in search of the answer behind the answer.

Object you say?

I always wondered, when birds learn to fly, they fly from the ground up, they dont jump off bildings and stuff... so when dudes jump of buildings with the intention of flying, are you saying if they concentrate their senses on what it feels like to be flying, and they can fly, but how can they know what it feels like to fly, if they have never flown before?



BAM!!!

I love this! The whole negativity thing, generally holds us back in lots of other ways. People are scared to be themselves, because of how it will be seen by others. Those people who are truley true to themselves will go the furtherest! Great article!

What is stopping them is not that they do not know what it feels like to fly (if you had the focus you could make it feel like anything), The problem is that they know how to fall....therefore they are not 100% sure that they can fly

...There-in lies the problem

Thanks Sally

Ah, but if you think you are having sex with a woman, or an object as the Cassman so eloquently put it, so much so that you ejaculate in your sleep, the theory would be that if you beleive you are flying, then you can, and will! like the problem of not having a woman is overcome by believing you have a woman, the problem of not being able to fly should be averted by beleiving you can!

BAM!!!

What you believe though and what is real are two seperate things. Just because your mind tells you in sleep that you are sleeping with a beautiful object/person doesn't mean that you are - it's only the sheets in reality. Anyway, lots of crackheads and junkies have jumped off buildings because they believed implicitly that they could fly. The weeks spent cleaning blood out of the pavement bear testament to their delusions.

When I was 12, I didn't know what it was like to have sex, but by golly, in my dreams, I knew it felt good!!!

Explain that Sigmund!!!

These crackheads and junkies have absolutely no harness over their mental strength while they continue abusing their body with substances like these.

I dont think this relates to the topic. A drug induced mentatility is a false sense of being that interferes with the brains operation. I dont know enough about the chemical way drugs work to say exactly i guess...

Well, I can't really say anything on the whole wet dream thing, seeing that I'm a girl.

not to sure about the ladies, let me know

while i agree with you the power is there but too often goes unrecognized or underutilized, im convinced that women are gifted with the full version compared to men.  while it may seem ridiculous (or worse) to suggest women have a more acute sense--i believe thats what it is btw, like sight or hearing--than men, remember that because of the chromosonal difference, any man of any race or descent is more similar to every other male on the planet  than he is to any biologic female. 

nice meetin you btw!

There's lots of crazy people who've believed they could fly as well and plunged to their deaths - in some cases the reason people thought they were crazy was because they thought they could fly. They, too, failed miserably. Why should an allegedly sane person who happens to believe, in defiance of the natural laws, that they can fly be any different?


Are they proven crazy because they fail or are they proven crazy because they think they can fly?

Its not just the ability to belive you can fly, but to be so in tune mentally that you are capable of it

Dont forget, you have to crawl before you can walk. These crazy people probably should of tried a bit of levitation before launching their bodies of a high rise

Also i never mentioned that flight was possible. I dont know the limits of what we can and cant do, but assuming that a crazy man can jump off a building and that he wont plummet to his death is just like you are trying to prove me wrong.

And I never stated at all that the laws of gravity can be defied. Maybe our hidden ability allows us to hover around. Although we have untapped power, like everything, it will have limits and boundries

Oh yeah - that was me... I just thought it was a good analogy to use, once again, I was wrong.

While I'm unsure of the limits and endless possibilities of our mind/brain, I'm absolutely positive that it's the strongest organ in our bodies and has it has untapped power or areas that we rarely use. Whether these are pysical, psychological or spiritual areas of power and ability, I dont know. But going on what I have seen and heard of some people doing when they've focussed 110% on what they wanted, then acheived it, truly amazes me to think of the possibilities.

Psychic ability, kinetics, amazing physical strength, endurance, even the ability to physically or mentally heal one's self and heaps more... strange stuff I can't explain but I seem to have witnessed it.

One thing that comes to mind for me was when I wanted to quit smoking. I'd been puffing on (cig) butts and bongs every day for about 5 or 6 years and hated the fact that I was addicted to the stuff. After thinking for weeks how I was going to quit, I just decided to go cold turkey one day. It worked and I haven't looked back since. No patches, pills, chewing gum or anything. Just mind power.

Too true Cass and Sally!

And don't get me started on the dreams...

TheCassMan,

So.....if you think you can do it....release all thoughts of doubt...re educate your brain on knowledge of the factual.......your brain can bypass all physical obstacles....because you BELIEVE it to be an actuality... therefore it is....?
But how can you process the new information when the old information......eg.."If I jump of this building I will drop to the ground and splat over the pavement below"...is still in your memory?

That is part of the problem, knowing a potential circumstance of your actions is doubt, therefore you are not 100% convinced you can do something. That is why it’s so hard, that is why we are monkeys

Think about cases where you hear of people performing extraordinary feats at times of great duress, like amazing survival or rescue situations. Maybe these are small cases of people achieving a higher level. When the mind is overwhelmed with emotion we perhaps eliminate doubt?

um, i followed this link in from muggy's blog. hi cassman. nice to meet you. in regards to the statements above, as much as i'd like to believe that such a control is possible, it actually isn't.

the reason for 'wet dreams' is that during REM sleep there is intense activity in areas of the brain that control the autonomic nervous system. heartbeat and breathing, for example, can be quite irregular during REM sleep.

in the course of the autonomic activity of REM sleep, there is normally an activation of the erectile system of the penis. in some cases the self-stimulatory activity of REM sleep may also lead to the experience of an orgasm and an activation of the ejaculatory system in males.

so, whilst it is a nice idea, it is not phyically possible have a 'wet dream' whist awake, being that they're triggered by the actvation of the erectile system during REM sleep and nothing else.

i am such a boring old cow. i expect muggaz already told you that .

sorry !
