Hypnonautics

A man leaves his hometown to fight in a war, temporarily leaving behind his wife, son, and the family dog - all for the good of his people, in response to the call of his king. As fate would have it, while he was gone, his wife and son died in a mysterious accident. When word had reached him, he was filled with grief. The king, showing mercy, permitted him to return home to mourn his family. However, upon returning home, he was greeted by the warmth of a fire coming from the fireplace, and appearing before him was the face of his son. The man’s grief had been overcome with relief, even if only for a moment. In this first encounter, his son's face was pale and covered with mud. The man’s canine companion was there beside what looked like his son, and the dog's face was full of fear and concern. It only took him a day to understand the look he had been gazing at his son with and the growls that escaped his jaws at the strange boy’s approach. It looks like him, but it is not. It h...

Matthew T Rader on Unsplash March 10th: Corrective Tax I had a dream about what I am calling “corrective taxes.” In the dream, they were being implemented by the government to deter prostitution by applying a tax to the act of prostitution to make it increasingly unaffordable. This tax would be extended beyond prostitution and into the realm of pornography as well, without outright outlawing it. In the dream, this was an economic principle of corrective taxes that the government used to move the people toward society’s desired outcome. What could a real world application of these types of taxes look like? Well, first of all, I think it would be better expressed as a type of fine. These on-the-spot penalties, or fines, would be attached to certain illegal activities in place of immediate incarceration. The fine could be calculated at how much you risked at the time you were committing the crime. If you have over $100k in cash/assets and partake in a crime to gain a $50k profit, you dir...

March 10th Justice for our Protectors: This post is still in the works - please, be patient with the process. This is not going to be an easy subject to cover. The topic at hand is “rape in the military.” Please, do not read if the topic is not for you. The dream begins as follows: I'm swimming (I was flying, but the motions were like I was swimming) through the air and I overhear a young woman say she wants to join the military. She specifically says, "this is what I want unless someone can give me a good reason to change my mind." At first I say nothing, but then, I think “if not me, who and when?” So I decide to take on the task and call her from above. As we talk, she explains to me that it is because of an anime called Tatsuya. (The anime's real name is "Saga of Tanya the Evil," a military other-world anime. This is what I perceived she meant in the dream) She is so inspired that she drops out of school to begin preparing to enroll in the military. If y...

  Dušan veverkolog on Unsplash March 4th, 2021 It is the apocalypse; whales and/or dolphins moved onto land and have been trying to eradicate mankind. For the most part, they have been successful and mankind is now on the brink of extinction. A little family managed to survive up until this point. In this family were at least three generations of people. The family managed to catch a dolphin and make a living along train tracks. After finding a place to settle, they would walk the dolphin a safe distance away and make it tell whales not to approach. This was the job of a middle-aged man, the father of all the children in the group. A device attached to a harness around the beast’s midsection locked the mechanism in place. It had the appearance of a fan and was used by the whales to communicate across vast distances on land. The rest of the family began to set up camp over the tracks of the trains. There were ruins and debris left over from a huge battle between whales and humans a...

Please excuse the delay. I had my wisdom teeth removed and spent most of my recovery time sleeping. I'm sore, but I'm back. The dreams I had as of late are a bit weirder than the one I have written below. This week I will try to catch up by posting extra dreams. Hope you are all doing well!   Dream 02/23/21 A young man was at a school with his brother who did photography for one of the classes. He did this despite not being apart of the class. While on the way home, his brother vanishes. A woman he did not know began to aid him in his search for his brother. They went to a garage where the thought hits him "This lady may have tricked me into sacrificing him for power, and now he might have been wandering through an alternate dimension of rain and darkness because of me."  The garage was connected to a realm of darkness. Without any hesitation, he opened the door and peered out into the darkness. Just outside the door was a two-story tall, dark god with skin as black a...
