  Well, in that case you need to learn how to either:

  (1) implant a suggestion in your mind before falling asleep that you're going
      to ask the guy what he's up to, or

  (2) learn how to maintain lucidity once you realise you're dreaming.

  Neither of these two abilities are impossible, however there aren't really
any foolproof ways of developing them.  Sorry I can't be of more help than
that!

This is my typical nightmare. I had it many times paticularly when I was 
young.

A tiger, with his mouth open widely, is running to me. Obviously he wants 
to eat me. I try to escape. But I can only move very slowly, as if I were 
in water. The tiger is geting closer and closer to me. I try to run harder, 
but still I can't run fast. Then just before the tiger reachs me, I wake up.

By the way, if I sleep with my hand touching my chest (like you guys do when 
you hear the national anthem in this country), I am more likely to have a 
nightmare. Does anyone have the same experience?

Wish you all have good dreams.

alt.world.taeis FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

***
This will be reposted at irregular intervals, and modified as
necessary.
***

This newsgroup is for the purpose of constructing a believable fictional
world, for several different purposes. The first, and probably most
importantly, it is for the exercise alone, to see if a collaborative, a
creative work of this intended breadth and depth can be accomplished.
Secondly, this world will be considered to be public property, in that
it can be freely used for fiction of any length, without restriction. All
fiction, however, still remains the property of the author. Finally, it
will also be used as something of a forum for a MUSH that is using Taeis
for its theme.

For those of you unfamiliar with the term, a MUSH is a multi-user text
environment that can be expanded upon with reasonable freedom. AT this time,
there is one MUSH being run on the Taeis theme. It should be noted that
while it is certainly preferable to maintain congruity between the MUSH
and the world as a whole, it is by no means necessary - the MUSH, like any
MUSH based off of a world, has the option of modifying the world in such
ways as is deemed appropriate or necessary.

This newsgroup is intended both for discussion and the presentation of draft
and final (if there can be said to be such a thing) articles or short works
of fiction that take place in the world of Taeis. I will be gradually posting
the documents that up until now I have been keeping on my account - not all
or even a large percentage of these was done by me personally.

For the convenience of the readers, I would request that a convention be
followed:

	Put "MUSH" in the header if it pertains only to the MUSH
	Put "ARTICLE" in the header if it is an article
	Put "FICTION" in the header if it is a work of fiction

	Also, it would in most cases be very helpful to also include in the
header the subject matter the article is on, such as astrophysics, genetics,
geology, culture, and such forth, and also the region of the world to which
it is relevant, if it is appropriate.

In posting the articles, in most cases I only have the name as used on the
MUSH, as most of the work up to now as been done by people who are also there
and who became interested through there. I will include the pseudonym in these
articles - if you would like your real name put on the document, then email me
at tuff@ellis.uchicago.edu and I will modify the documents to include it.

Currently, there are two possible sites for putting back up TaeisMUSH, one
at CalTech, and one at the University of Chicago. I expect to know whether
either of these will in fact pan out in the next few weeks, and if I do learn
anything, be assured I will pass it on to those who are interested in the MUSH.

Right.  I think the idea is that we only queue a message if we have
reason to believe that there exist tools which will dequeue the
message at some time in the future.  Such beliefs are formed from
looking at the static types database.

However, the API indeed lets senders set message disposition, and it
lets patterns have a disposition attribute.  A message's disposition
attribute tells us what lengths we should go to to deliver the message
to the ptype named in its handler_ptype attribute.  A pattern's
disposition attribute merely lets you match against such messages
according to their disposition attribute.

The juxtaposition of these two API calls might indeed imply the
feature you seem to want: senders could set message disposition to
TT_QUEUE, and the messages could be dequeued when a matching dynamic
pattern (of matching disposition?) is registered.  (Of course, it
would be meaningless to set the disposition to TT_START (unless you
set the handler_ptype), because we have no way of knowing what tool to
start in order to cause the registration of the right dynamic pattern.)

Is this what you're looking for?  What are the requirements you'd be
using it to satisfy?

>that is resident in the classing engine

Yes, although static types can alternatively be stored in the "xdr"
database.  (See tt_type_comp(1)).

You are quite misinformed, John, for I do not waste oxygen. I use

"Ramming" things "up" one's anus would not seem to be a logical
action to take. It is very awkward and likely would result in serious
bodily harm. You should seek psychological help at once to solve
your mental problems. Now, before it's too late.
