Nobody (except me) has yet connected the recent start of collisions at the CERN LHC, Switzerland with Wednesday's mauling of a man by a bear at Berne Zoo, Bern Park, Switzerland. Quite seriously and astonishingly, the common factor is the earlier published book CERN ZOO. Both by story themes and cover artwork. This is also connected with recent upsurge of retrocausality TV fictions like 'FlashForward', 'Paradox', 'Lost' and 'Dr Who and the Waters of Mars' - and the two scientists who recently suggested that the Collider may be sabotaging itself from the future ... and the bird that dropped the beget bread into the Collider? BTW, did anyone see PARADOX and that train bridge?   | ||

Dreams are items engendered by an individual’s equally competing ‘sleep’ and ‘waking consciousness’. A balance of you and something else. That is common knowledge. What isn’t so commonly known is the fact that dreams can be harvested and milked. Not only in the figurative sense of employing them as contents for fictions like this one, but also as real objects that can be handled and squeezed like udders. You see, the actual tension between self and non-self in this way creates a seamless skin-dome upon the flat surface of the dream, thus allowing items of dream to become collected as a finite group instead of infinite items on a never-ending surface ... subsequently for them to become upwardly mobile as well as three-dimensional within the constraints of the sealed space. Some dreams have bigger domes than others. What determines the size is arguably the power of imagination within the mind of the dream’s dome-owner. It is, moreover, I contend, a tension between ‘old nonsense’ and ‘new nonsense’. There used to be an expression used by exasperated parents in my younger days to their obstreperous children: “Don’t give me any of that old nonsense!” Whether that was a condemnation of ‘nonsense’ generally, or an implicit desire for ‘new nonsense’, I was never sure. But I decided the latter was more appropriate to me. Hence, this treatise on dreams you are now reading. Soon, I was aware that the items within the dome could burrow beneath the surface as well as fill any given space above it. What that said about my imagination is anyone's guess. And in this way the concept of 'milking' dreams was born. Somehow managing to get a handle on the original dream's dome and squeezing it so that the weak-points in its circular bottom surface were made even weaker seemed to encourage items to burrow underforth – either by force of extrusion or simply being provided with the requisite ‘physics’ for them to do this off their own backs. The aim of this operation is lost in the actual process, a process that works only by destroying itself and any memory of it after it has served its purpose. One such operation’s results, however, still stick in my mind. Upon squeezing the dream, a weird yet recognisably human tongue poked out and sharply withdrew. It reminded me of my own tongue’s action when I was being scolded by my parents in days of yore. Thankfully, however, Mum and Dad never seemed to notice. Or, if they did, diplomatically forgot. The Weirdtonguer. | ||

Des - I'm sure you've been told this many times before, but you have the most amazing imagination. I'm quite envious of it!  As for the similarities between the cover of Cern Zoo and the photo of that unfortunate incident at Berne Zoo, it is a little spooky. It's like we've been discussing on the "coincidences" threads - in my opinion, there are a finite number of permutations of different events that might occur, so some level of coincidence or connection between events must happen occasionally. I guess I'm talking mathematical probablities here - though I'm no mathematician. Come to that, I'm probably talking nonsense ...  | ||

Thanks, Caroline, as ever. It's possibly not my imagination at all but something else using my mind as a conduit? ;) | ||

Albie told me he had an idea we sent messages back to ourselves if certain moments or feelings are strong enough. Recently I was cycling along a bike track when I thought I could smell a body somewhere, something big decomposing. I had the horrible realisation that to find a body would be completely horrible. Further along the track I see a policeman and a bit of tape blocking me off. The policeman tells me there's been an incident and that it would be on the news. Of course I thought 'Body!', but then later found a man and a coupe of his dogs had been run over instead, the man badly injured and a dog or two dead. No body decomposing or anything. But maybe Albie had something; maybe I had picked up a 'ripple' from the imminent incident and misinterpreted it... Those pictures are strange, btw. | ||

Might one recommend psychotic drugs? Who knows how much of horror might be due to that? | ||

I think that it was Caroline, not Allybird, who said that, Ian. Early cornflakes for me today. June 2009: Cern Zoo - Nemonymous Nine (book cover depicted above) has at least one story in it very similar to the Berne Zoo Incident (and other Zoo stories). November 2009: Berne Zoo incident at Bern Park, Switzerand - real news photo depicted above (similar to CZ cover?). News item here: http://www.mailonsunday.co.uk/news/article-1229998/The-horrifying-moment-bear-ma uls-man-climbed-zoo-enclosure.html November 2009: Cern Hadron Collider (also Switzerland) is also central to the 'Cern Zoo' book and started historic (reality-busting???) collisions of protons on same day as Berne Zoo incident. Therefore I, for one, draw a link between the two. In the light of this incident, it is perhaps interesting now to see what I found myself writing about the 'Cern Zoo' story 'The Lion's Den' on 17 October 2009 - see here: http://weirdmonger.blog-city.com/cern_zoo__a_dfl_realtime_review.htm There is perhaps something going on here that I am not capable of dealing with. Mysterious forces. Something beyond simply a Small Press book and a weird fiction writer who edited and published it? And, with that, hopefully, that's my final word on the matter! Smelling decomposng, Tony and Hubert? That's an amazingly pungent 'connection'. Thanks. | ||

Ian said: "Allybird stated breathlessly: Des - I'm sure you've been told this many times before, but you have the most amazing imagination. I'm quite envious of it! Might one recommend psychotic drugs? Who knows how much of horror might be due to that?" Des said: "I think that it was Caroline, not Allybird, who said that, Ian." It was indeed me who said it. Me and Ally are two completely different people, Ian!  BTW Des, I was referring to your second post here on this thread when I made that comment, not the first. You may well be right that there's something strange going on here coincidence-wise. I have a very open mind on whether or not some kind of paranormal activity may be at work in various situations. | ||

quote{I have a very open mind on whether or not some kind of paranormal activity may be at work in various situations.}I have never seen Ally and Caroline in the same room at the same time, so am convinced that they both are, in fact, the result of paranormal activity. I have seen Ramsey and Gary Fry in the same room at the same time, so that one's cleared-up for me at least. | ||

You seem to be 'connecting' (i.e. within one room) so as to differentiate. This sheds some light on the nature of 'coincidences', too. Hmmm... | ||

Has anyone seen Des, Ramsey, and I in the same room at the same time? Caroline & Ally don't count here as they are probably either the same person or Ramsey in a frock. | ||

Today is the first time I've put the back cover of the ONLY CONNECT book (1998) on the internet. I forgot I wrote that little poem.  |
