Yes, in fact, I first heard of this technique through a serious researcher
of dreamstates (he had traveled to Malaysia to followup on the dream 
techniques and culture of the Senoi ... for another post). If I remember
correctly, B6 along with tryptophan regulates production of serotonin. The
problem is, the molecules used in S. synthesis are relatively large, and
partially screened by the blood-brain barrier. His prescription was the
following, which I've found effective:

	B6 100mg
	Glass of Milk
	Aspirin

Take all together at night. Aspirin increases permeability of the BB
Barrier, Milk supplies sufficient tryptophan. I would be interested to
hear your results!

Hello all,
         I recently had a dream where the voice of someone I knew several  
years ago (and have not seen since) spoke to me on the phone. What I'm  
perplexed about is that this voice sounded so lifelike, it was amazing -  
almost like a conversation in real life. I never had a dream where the  
audio (as opposed to visual) aspect stuck out so prominently. Can ayone  
explain this?

I share this dream with you.  I have not smoked for almost two
years but in real life, stressful situations I dream a night about
returning to cigarettes.  I have usually bought a pack and despair
about being addicted again.  There is a very vivid tangible
feeling of disappointment.  It is always a major relief to
wake up from these dreams.

I can't give you a nice pat explanation for this.  I remember a similar
experience in a dream.  I dreamed that I got a call from my sister
telling me that a friend of mine (who was in a coma at the time) had
died.  Everything about the dream was excruciatingly accurate:  the
details of my dorm room, the emotion in my sister's voice, my reaction.
It was rather chilling in its consistency with my life.  (My friend
survived, in case you're wondering.)

Perhaps your dreams often contain this sort of audio detail, but it
remains unnoticed because of a more memorable visual experience.  Only
when it was isolated did you notice it.

Just a thought.

I take B6 to help me sleep more soundly, or more specifically calm my
nerves.  Pure speculation on your comment would be that the B6 allows you
to relax to the point where you can slip into a deep enoughs leep to
dream.  I don't know about the recall part.  

Also, it is recommended that you don't exceed 250 mg/day of B6. 
Researchers found that persons taking dosages higher (sometimes much
higher) than that per day started to develop symptoms similar to that of
MS (multiple sclerosis).  When they stopped taking the B6 the symptoms
went away.  

Being a vitamin taker however, B6 definitely helps you sleep and is very
safe if not taken in larger than the 250 dose.

  From my own experience, you can't force rememberance of dreams: you either
remember them because you want to, or you don't.  Which leads me to believe
that there is *nothing* wrong with improving your dream recall if you are
motivated enough to do so.

2) When i dream, they are usually reoccuring dreams, most with the same
theme. either Someone is trying to get/kill me, I am killing them or
killing someone, a big explosion occurs (i have seen a plane crash and an
atomic bomb, usually 2 or 3 times right in a row)
What is the interpretation of these sort of dreams?

3) When i am sick (as i am now) I dream more and have better dream recall,
any reason for this?

I don't know how many of you realise the difference between this (i.e.
Usenet) and samizdat ("selfpublished") material.  I've just been exposed
to this whole thing this evening - Doctor Gonzo was fooling around reading
some godawful psychobabble when I noticed the words alt.zines drift past on   
the screen.  But when we got here the cupboard was bare.  This, I thought, was
a job for the Happy Face Christian Foundation.
     For a start, y'all seem willing to type in any old shit, just running off
at the mouth and spewing out gibberish.  Are you just too goddamn lazy to 
delete the stuff that's crap?  I find it pretty hard to believe that anyone 
could actually write that much worse than some of the waterheads running 
zines in the games hobby, but the proof's there in front of my eyes.  Maybe
if you thought a little before writing, I dunno.  
     To me the benefits of some kind of crossover between these two media 
seems obvious.  The sheer quantity of raw, untreated information floating
around Usenet is just astounding.  Were there people out there willing to make 
some attempt to codify it and collate it, to present it in a form acceptable
to normal human beings without access to the necessary technology to read it 
on the nets....well, through the zines the impact is bound to be small, 
because of the limited circulation that most of them enjoy, but because of
the freedom that zine editors enjoy, valuable information (e.g. the activities
of political groups, the actual, not newspaper reported effects of drugs, 
when Tom Waits is touring Ireland, that sort of thing) can be printed without
censorship.  This is the kind of thing that needs to be spread around.  A zine
allied to the nets would be another ideal tool for doing it, and a more useful
forum for discussion than the nets (largely because of the greater precision
in reasoning people seem to acquire when they actually put pen to paper).  So 
who wants to volunteer to edit this uberzine?
     On a more trivial note, do any of you know of any good sci-fi zines? 
I'm looking for zines (actually zines in any area at all) which are well-
written, fannish and prone to vicious backbiting.

InterText is an internationally distributed magazine of fiction. It is
published in both Ascii and PostScript formats. It is edited by
Jason Snell.

For subscriptions, write to me (jsnell@ocf.berkeley.edu) and specify postscript 
or ascii. If you can FTP, that would be preferable: just send me mail
telling me you want to FTP, and I'll place you on a mailing list that will
notify you when the new issue is ready for FTPing.
 
Back issues (at least recent back issues) will appear for FTP on 
the site network.ucsd.edu. they also appear on ftp.eff.org, in the 
/pub/journals directory.

InterText is a network-distributed bi-monthly magazine. It's free, and
therefore pays nothing to anyone. It's published in both ASCII (plain
text) and PostScript (laserwriter) formats, and reaches over 1,000
readers in countries throughout the four corners of the globe.

Anyone can submit a story, regardless of age, race, gender, educational
status, corporate affiliation, etc.

Stories should be under 15,000 words, though exceptions to this rule can
be made.

All genres of writing are acceptable. We've published "mainstream"-style
stories, as well as far-out science fiction. I'd like to keep the magazine
as diverse as possible. Also, it must be original fiction -- no use of
copyrighted characters, i.e. Star Trek.

[a condemnation of netnoise, and suggests a net-related paper-zine]

The real info, codified, processed, *edited*, etc. is often there.  You
just need to look to find it.  It's not as apparent as the surface 
discussions on the net.  Read news.answers for lots of FAQ files, which
are very distilled files of net-information... find archives accessible
through FTP... subscribe to mailing lists... basically trace pointers
for a while to get to the real motherlodes.  Paper is one way to get
people to be efficient with words, but it's not the only way, and it's
far slower and kills a lot of trees in the process.

The solution for non-netted people isn't to get the same information on
paper, it's to *get on the net*.  No single zine can hope to encompass
even a small part of it.  They have their place, but not for that...
Getting the same information, perhaps edited, on floppy or CD-ROM is 
also an alternative, but paper is just too small.  

Does anyone have (or is willing to spend 15 minutes to hack out)
a program to dump all message from a given address into a file?  This
would be *very* useful for handling mailing lists without cluttering
up one's private mailbox...  Other nice mail features (like being able
to set up autoreplies to certain addresses or subject lines) would also
be nice, but aren't as essential.
