No that was Noah...even with his hangover he insisted on building an ark...

I don't dream of squat after being drunk. In fact in the old days before I knew better I drank to not dream at all.

Is this legal? Knowingly distributing false information? If it is not illegal, it should be.

Any time I was drunk...I couldn't tell the difference between my dreams and reality but I did dream like normal and remember some of them..I would wake up thinking  what was that?. It depended on how drunk I was..If I drank a lot..I would not remember ....but if I was happy drunk.. then yes I remembered all lol.....I met manys a drunk that thought they seen and heard things and acted on it...Amazing what drink can do

I feel the need to put this theory to the test.
Hmm,,I wonder if I could get government funding for it

Unfortunately it is probably covered by 'Freedom of Speech'...

Lots of schools push twisted versions of history and 'facts' onto their pupils (especially from a religious perspective) luckily in this age of information availability you can go home to do your homework and discover a whole new point of view.

I think they do, these researchers demonstrate there results on the Jeremy Kyle Show every now and then. They get drunk and test this theory using 'Government Grants' called Job 'Seekers allowance' and 'Income support'.

To be honest, i believe in Nessie more than that fairy Jesus. We could rewrite to Bible and adapt Nessie and the son of God! 'The Gospel according to Nessie'.. Hmmm.. Has a bit of a ring to it

Fairy Jesus?

The son of the washing up God?

Now hands that do dishes can feel soft as your face, with mild green Fairy Jesus...

I noticed that when I drank strong cider  .. and wine...   I got so drunk I would barely remember a thing..The hangovers were awful . BUT  when I drank shots all night...I got like a happy drunk...could remember almost everything and  barely a  hangover...  I guess drink can effect each of us in different ways.. The only drink I would never touch is beer... I have heard people say if they drank beers all night they feel fine and remember all.. Then some say  it makes them pass out and they forget a lot !

I remember my mother always saying to me when I got hungover - Well its you're own fault ..you shouldn't mix your drinks, in my day we sat over the one drink the whole night... but you had to show off didn't you? <-- nagged that over me when I was talking to God on the big white telephone  lol   ( big white telephone   aka  the toilet ) ...I always mixed my drinks though  lol

I have also suffered with depression on-and-off for most of my life. However, unlike yourself, I have found anti-depressants to be absolutely essential to improving my mood and by extension my life. How could a person take time to improve themselves and alleviate their own suffering if they were, for example, constantly being besieged by suicidal ideation or panic attacks? Rather than view medication as a “dodge” or a “magic fix”, one could instead view it as an important step on the road to recovery--a means to normalize or empower oneself so that you are, with a clear head, better able to work out issues in your life that are contributing to unhappiness and ridding yourself of destructive habits.

I know how it sounded, but I wasn't criticizing use of anti-depressants when necessary.  It came up as an analogy of using belief instead of coping and how belief is not universally a good thing.  I was just trying to make the point that there are many cases where lifestyle changes clear up depression, I know it won't work for everyone or the most severe cases.  But for the people alternative means can work for, taking medication is uneccessary and even potentially dangerous.

I find if you want to remember your dreams you should set your alarm an hour before you want to wake up. For me this works wonders, I wake up and go back to sleep, any dreams in this hour seem to be more vivid and easier to remember. This might go against some peoples view of when and how we dream but even with a 20 minute sleep in this situation I can get good results whether I have been drinking, smoking or injecting the night before

Either that, or get a dog. Our labrador has been unwell with a stomach upset for a week, ( the vet checked him out and proclaimed nothing to worry about) and i have to get up and let him out and in about 4 times a  night. This allows me access to more of my dreams because i wake up in the middle of them at least 4 times each night, and have time to ponder on them as I stand in the freezing cold kitchen waiting for Finn to come back inside.

Aye but see... I have an eight week old baby boy... trust me when I say this - I will take as much sleep as I  as and when  he lets me   lol    When you have newborn babies in your home...you will value any sleep you get...!!  As for drinking... I never miss it..those days are long gone !
