wouldn't have to be secret about being hobbyists and providers. We could be out and about, and such.

Speaking of lucid dreaming, I heard one fellow last night agree with a newscaster that this fellow may have believed he was dreaming. He may have slipped from reality so much that he couldn't distinguish between what was real and what was a dream (think "Inception").

I still think it was murder.

Crazy people have always fascinated me. If they fascinate you too, check out this loony's You Tube channel. But I gotta warn you if you haven't already done so: imagine the illiteracy of lioor mixed with more paranoia than Mein could ever muster.

That aside, Loughner mentions "conscious dreaming" several times. It's hard to precisely determine what he's talking about because he's so damn illiterate, but he seems to use it as a metaphor for "hope", as well as using it literally. It seems like he's expressing that he doesn't have any control over his own actions.

Assuming that is the case, then that would indicate to me that he may have been taking a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) for depression. Eric Harris (of Columbine fame) was taking the SSRI anti-depressant Luvox, and Seung-Hui Cho, who shot up Virginia Tech was also had a long history of taking SSRIs.

The idea behind SSRIs is that if you can disassociate one's feelings from your state in life, then you will cease to be depressed about it. However, as we're quickly discovering, SSRIs tend to prevent people from being able to have any emotions about anything. And when crazy people cease to feel bad about doing something horrible, they see no reason why not to do something horrible.

So before Mari gets too caught up in gun control, and Fair gets too caught up in a crazy's lack of religious beliefs, consider what could be prevented in the future if we just had a universal health care system that included regular mental health check ups. Just sayin...

Okay, time for me to go back on hiatus.

It's an attempt to control the outcome of one's dreams, rather than being subject to them. It just points out his extreme longing for control, given that, on some level, he was aware of how out of control, and fearful of the world, he was. That is also illustrated by his repeated demand that people, and the government mean what they say, and challenges to when he thought they weren't. A safe world, to him, and probably true for the rest of us, is where people say what they mean, and mean what they say.

The barrier, in the mind, between the dream world, and consciousness is very thin and porous. So much so, the person can not tell which part of his mind he's in. Go see Inception if you haven't already. It's an interesting story based on dreaming.

This condition may have been the case with this murderer, but, in my mind, he was responsible to make certain that he didn't get to that place. There are stories that relate how seriously he abused drugs. Even one where he drank so much during a school break, that when he returned to class, they had to transport him to the hospital where he nearly died.
