Medication, Martin, medication, don't forget now...


What? Don't you ever see something during the day, or
hear something, and suddenly remember a dream you had about
whatever-you-saw the night before? I get it more than
once a week, I'd say.

ANYWAY, THAT'S EASY FOR YOU TO SAY. BUT WHICH ONES?
THE PINK CYLINDRICAL ONES? THE PINK ROUND ONES? THE
BLUE MINI-PILLS (NO, THEY AREN'T VIAGRA!) THE
GREEN-AND-WHITE CAPSULES? THE LITTLE ORANGE CAPSULES?
THE BLUE BOMBS? SO MANY. SO MANY!!! S O M A N Y !

Binoculars about very good optical parameters ( big brightness, small image

If they have "ruby coating" that in itself would make me avoid them. It
means they are optimised (if that's not overstating it) for daylight
activities, specifically bird-watching.

Its been a while since I did decision theory but I recall a hat, a
blindfold and a glass of water and at least 6 iterations..

Record the initial conditions: if outcome successful the world will
need to know which 6 went missing.

Cheers - or is that good bye?

Hi Martin

Just been to the 'Cash converter' type shop which has these binos for

sale.
Breaker jl#4070 (might be sl#4070) look good and their asking £45.


What is the diameter of the objectives?


70mm

Did you get a look through them? Did you ask to?


No, but would have done if you lot gave them the OK

Did they feel like good value?


Borderline, I'm no expert either which is why I asked here.

Strangely, you have just given me one of those moments
where I've been reminded, by seeing your post, of a dream
I had last night. I get that quite a lot. In this dream,
I was evaluating a pair of cheapish 70mm diameter objective
binoculars with a girl, not sure if my sister or a
girlfriend, by looking through them at half-arm's-length,
holding them both ways round, to assess prism size, baffling,
etc. (I'm no expert, though.) Strange coincidence!

Another dream I had later, just before waking up for the
last time, was very powerful. I watched a big passenger
plane very low and nearby outside, on a street, turn, lose
control, and nosedive into some houses on the next street
to me. It was very vivid. At first, the plane had canards
at the front, but that notion seemed to vanish from the
dream shortly after it had crashed. I hope it wasn't a
premonition! Fortunately I don't really believe in them!


One dream I regularly had was that I was a horse or a dog running fast but
effortlessly over the ground which then falls away and I'm now a bird flying
high. It was at this point I'd think 'Hang on, I was a horse or a dog
running but they don't have wing so how am I flying?' and then wake up. I
looked this dream up and it basically meant that I was going to be
successful. After finding out what it meant I've never had that dream since.
I do hope this one was a premonition. :-)

My dreams got a lot more strange and very detailed when I was prescribed
Seroxat (probably too much info there) but seemed to have return to normal,
err, I mean the way they were no that I'm off it.

I am familiar with the effects of psychoactive drugs on dreams. Most
interesting, if sometimes scary. As for Seroxat: MUCH sleep disruption
for little or no reward, IME. Might as well spend your life on "E"s,
given the disruption on your life via loss of sleep; and at least the
"E"s will make you happy. At least for a short while. Hmmmm. But the
dreams there are entirely different. Lucid. A whole-'nother-experience!

Seroxat is seriously f**ing dangerous, in that seriously - messes - with - your - thought -
processes kind of dangerousness. Almost
as scary as Larium. Well, maybe not. Nothing is quite as scary as Larium.
Chef!


Ergotamine ?

as prescribed for migraines while I was working is Saudi in '82.

I was hallucinating big time, and nearly fell off my bed whilst flying at 30,000 feet once ! My mate
Dick saved me from almost certain insanity by flushing em down the bog and getting me on a plane
back home sharpish !

Still have nightmares about that experience......
