Wry Ramblings From A Hot Wing

Exactly I can eat spicy stuff just fine I just have to be prepared when the guys downstairs have to blow the vent lol

Since you've dragged this forum down further than @Okiegrad, I'm actually going to join you. 

So I've been eating spicy things for years, and I no/know longer have that problem. Either all the nerves have been cauterized due to constant spicy things or I'm a bigger slut than i've admitted. 

I'll leave it up to all of you to decide which is the most likely. 

[Jason Rimbaud]

So every three years, I buy a new car. And when I say new car, I mean brand new. It's always a Jeep Compass, Black, limited series. I average about 4,000 miles per year, so I get a much higher trade-in value. Plus I am retentive, and I keep up the maintenance, rotate tires, and keep it washed and waxed. 

So on Wednesday, I picked up my new Jeep Compass, 2026 with 15 miles on it. The stock wheels are black, and this year, there is no chrome, everything is black. I really like it. I might not turn this one in, but it will be difficult for me to let 2030 model go by without me having it. 

They are making Hybrid Jeep Compasses now. I declined that, could have gotten a better deal but I don't like electric cars, even Hybrid's. I know sooner or later, probably in my lifetime, everyone will be forced to go electric. But seeing as I'll be dead long before our auto emissions will destroy the world, I don't give a fuck. I want my gas-powered car. 

I know there will be people that might chafe at that statement, but I don't have kids, no skin off my nose once I'm dead. My thinking is humans had a good run. If they couldn't figure out how to save themselves on a global scale, then who am I to fight a fight I really don't care about. 

And if the majority of American's are right, god will come back before we destroy ourselves anyway. Which is why many Christians aren't worried about the environment. This life doesn't matter, they are only worried about the next life. *shrugs* 

I had a dream last night. Well, I dream every night, and remember many of them. Last night was one I decided to write/right down. It resembles a great Twlight Zone episode where a business man goes back to his hometown and realizes he somehow went back in time and meets his parents and younger self. 

Of course in my dream, it wasn't as wholesome as Twlight Zone. It took place in Grantville Pennsylvania in 2025 and 1963 respectively. So I put that in my todo file along with the other ideas and outlines I've collected over the years. 

Does anyone else have repeat dreams? I've had the same dream at least a dozen times over the years. And if you add in variations of the same dream with just minor detail changes, hundreds of times. At this point in my life, it's like an old familiar friend. When I have this dream, I can recall thinking in my sleep, that is going to fun. 

And yes, I can control things in my dreams. If I don't like something, I can change the dream. And when I nearly die in my dreams, I can rewind the dream and then alter the outcome so I don't die. 

Whether or not this is me remembering the dream as it happens, or if I am actually making the changes with my mind, I do not know. All I know is my dreams and the state I'm in while dreaming, is a fun, wonderful place filled with adventures, sexual encounters, and filled with action. 

Last thing on dreams, in my dreams, I am my current age, but instead of being bald, I always have hair in my dreams. .

It sounds like you are lucid dreaming. 

I had a reoccurring nightmare when I was young.  I was in my room and heard my dad coming up the stairs.  I could tell from the sound of his footsteps he was angry, so I hid under the bed.  I would hide under the bed while he came in my room.  He would find me, grab my arm and pull me out from under the bed. That's usually when I would wake up.  

Then one night I didn't wake up.  He pulled me out from underneath the bed, dragged me to the banister of our stairs and karate chopped my arm off.  I saw it falling down to our hallway below.  And then I never had that dream again.  Our minds are very weird. 

Nowadays, most of my nightmares are just about claustrophobia.

I just read up on lucid dreaming. That's exactly what is happening. 

I also dream like I'm watching a movie. Or maybe a better description, I'm playing a video game. I don't see out of my eyes, I am always above watching the entire thing play out. 

And I often die in my dreams, though I have the ability to respawn and have a do over. I might have lucid dreams once every few months. But remember my dreams almost nightly. 

Unlike you, I don't really have nightmares as much as I have adventures. I think I worked out all my bad dreams years ago. 

I wonder if there is any relation to the fact I usually sleep between five or six hours a night. For most of my life, I wake up naturally after that much time has lapsed. Since I was around twelve, I never felt like I need much sleep.

Not needing a lot of sleep is a sign of high intelligence. At least that’s what I tell myself since I can get by on 4 or 5 hours with the occasional catch up day on the weekend.

The parents used to be worried, as I'd stay up all night reading. But I never fell asleep in class and always got A's, so they stopped trying to regulate my sleep around 13. 

I rarely nap, though now on my one day off, Wednesdays, sees me hunkering down on the couch for a good two or three hour nap in the afternoon. 

My doctor said since I don't seem to have energy problems, never set alarms, and seemingly in pretty good health for someone that has abused his body for twenty years with smoking, drugs, and alcohol, that I should listen to my body and not try to force more sleep. 

And I'll take your explanation happily. .

I've read that you can train yourself to lucid dream more often, but it never worked for me.  I think I did it once and got so excited that I woke up before I got to try anything cool.  It also makes you more prone to sleep paralysis.   Which, thankfully, I have only had once or twice.  

I think I had claustrophobic dreams because I don't have to face it in real life that often and my brain likes to helpfully remind me if I stay away from small places, I can't get trapped in them.  I think that may be why I don't dream as often about spiders, which I am occasionally forced to face when I'm awake.

Does it help to know that you've probably eaten dozens of spiders in your sleep?

This made me laugh so hard. And it's so true. .

The thing about eating spiders in your sleep is a myth.  I believe they would wait until I woke up so I can see them coming.  The last time one came for me while I was sleeping,  they perched on the lenses of my glasses and waited.

It is a myth, a lie started by some scientists to see some result. *shrugs* 

They also say they don't bite you in your sleep but I'm not sure about that.

I can see why they wouldn't crawl into someone's mouth but I can see them biting a sleeping person out of spite.  

[ReaderPaul]

I know someone who was bitten by a brown recluse spider while sleeping.  It caused him much trouble.

Don't tell @CassieQ, which stands for Queen Cassie by the way, she seems to have a slight fear of spiders and small spaces.

Seeing as Yesterday was President's Day, we had a very slow day. So I took that time to finalize my ending for Frosted Hearts. Some of you know, I had written two different endings and I had yet to decide which direction I was going to go. 

Yesterday, I think I finally decided on the ending. So I wrote a new chapter to make sure I get to that ending in a manner that makes sense. 

I believe Frosted Hearts will have three more chapters. Though I am kind of upset as I don't like ending my stories on an odd number. But I don't think we can stretch out another chapter. 

I have thought about going back and adding a prologue I never included, which explains how the whole game of gay chicken started. 

I am excited to put this story to rest, focus on Gabriel's Gambit as I put the finishing touches on Tyler's Dilemma. It's been a fun year and I look forward to sharing even more silliness in the months ahead. 

That's all for now. Time to open the restaurant.

Have a problem to solve? This article is about lucid dreaming and problem solving. Kind of like when you have a spot in your writing and you sleep on it. When you awaken you might have some idea of the direction you want to take. Anyway, I thought you or someone else might gain some insight to lucid dreams and the otherwise mundane dream.

- if I lived near you I’d be buying your Jeep cast-offs every 3 years

- never trust ‘the majority’

- and yes I have a repeat dream: falling off a cliff/ from a building or in a plummeting elevator  The cause is never clear, it’s the the sensation I remember

Is it because you like Jeeps?  I once went home with a guy because he drove a Jeep. At the time, there was a commercial that showed two Jeep drivers passing each other in opposite directions. Each driver sees the other and raises their fist out of the window. 

The passenger goes, "do you know him?" 

And the driver shakes his head, "It's. Jeep thing." 

So when I found out he drove a Jeep, I slept with him. You wouldn't understand, it's A Jeep Thing!

 

I've walked outside the majority my entire life, no reason to join them now.  

 

I sometimes have a dream where I'm falling, but in my lucid dreaming, I can make myself fly instead of dying or waking up. Then I fly along the world and it's a marvelous dream.

Are Jeeps the cars that sometimes have a ton of rubber ducks on the dashboard?

I'm not sure about that. I don't have rubber ducks in my Jeep. Though I still sleep with Jeep owners, granted its my husband, but it's still a Jeep thing with me. .

There is a purple Jeep I see on my walks sometimes that has at least a dozen rubber ducks all lined up on the dashboard.  I looked it up and apparently some Jeep owners due this.  Your alternative sounds more fun.

I just looked this up, its called Jeep Ducking and was started during the Pandemic. Instead of the "jeep wave", this person in the frozen wasteland that is Canada, put a rubber duck on a fellow Jeep to apologize for what was probably a very polite altercation in a parking lot. 

It took off, and supposedly, if you see rubber ducks on the dashboard, that Jeep owner received the ducks from other jeep owners as a way to say hello.  

Which is why I don't have any ducks,

So I'm not sure if I'm hungover or sick. 

Last night, I had some sinus draining into my throat and I felt a bit achy. 

I do suffer with overly dramatic allergies and spend the year taking pills, getting shots, sniffing sprays, and blowing nose. So I left work feeling blah.

This morning, I woke feeling worse. But since I decided to do drunken ironing last night, I can't tell if I'm just hungover or if I'm getting a cold or if it's just my usual allergies. 

Either way, I feel yucky and wish I could go back home and snuggle into bed with a good ole fashioned. 

For those of you that don't know, and Ole Fashioned is a drink, I like mine with whiskey.
