a nit:
i don't believe they're actually 'spontaneous'; your conscious mind
just doesn't know their origin! they have a 'cause' which originates
in the unconscious if you will...

this is also useful for OOBEs. we usually visualize a window

yes. i believe there's a range of experience (other levels of consciousness)
between waking state and coma, and lucid dreaming is but one state.
hypnogogic imaging is the easiest way (for me) to enter LDs; of course an 
OOBE is very close to the same thing (one often just 'awakens' from the OOBE;
after having fallen asleep during the flight --- this happens during long 
flights thru featureless terrain.) there's a phase just before actually leaving 
the body which is much like the "sleep paralysis" mentioned in another thread 
(ie, your body feels very heavy and you "can't move"), you hear a rushing sound,
see multicolored patterns like a stained glass window (in a tunnel-like appearance) 
and then you're "out" --- either as a 'point source' of consciousness or with
a full-fledged 'astral body' (unnecessary consumption of computational resources).

the movie _Dreamscape_ (Dennis Quade, Eddie Albert, Chris Plummer and Kate Kapshaw)
is pretty much (hollywood's) definitive work on lucid dreams. fairly well done...

I also have frequent premonitive dreams... I've had them forever too. hey 
aren't just limited to my REM sleep dream-state either, they crop up in 
my daydreams too. Speaking of which, have you ever tryed to have a lucid 
daydream? I find it difficult personally, I was just wondering if anyone

The door to the inn is opened slowly. A head peers round the door.
"Deary Me!" exclaims Gelmar "Gone for only a few months and they've changed the
 name, nearly walked right past"

The door opens fully and in walks Gelmar, his clothes covered in mud and his
hair unkempt and tousled. Noone can fail to notice the table leg sticking out
of the sheath at his side.

"You haven't by any chance seen a three legged table hobbling about? If I ever
  catch that treacherous witch again i'll splinter it silly"

Gelmar goes over to the bar, orders a pint of Old Familiar and sits down in his
regular seat by the fire.

WHO are you?

Hi.  I publish the FutureCulture FAQ file, which is a self-described
"somewhat definitive guide to resources bringing you the future."  It
is basically an ever-growing guide to the new edge, technoculture,
cybperculture, etc., particular the relevant on-line aspects of the
aforementioned subculture(s)

One of the sections is a "who's who" of on-line 'celebrities', and
appears in the file like this:

	V. Important Person		Musician/Author 
	John Q. NetPublic		Hacker/Writer

So, if you are someone who would like to be mentioned in the file (no
email addrresses are given out), or if you know of someone who you
feel garners recognition, please send relevant info. (including a
basic summary of credentials in-case I fall knowledge-impaired) to:

      ahawks@nyx.cs.du.edu

I am looking for on-line people from all walks of life, including:
hackers (in the underground sense), writers, magazine editors,
artists, musicians, DJs, NetGurus, authors, or any other
characteristic that might seperate onesself from the mass.net.public.

Thanks in advance.

Does anyone know where I can get all the back issues of Nutworks?  It
was NUTWORKS@TCSVM.BITNET before that became a reflector for rec.humor.funny.
I've looked in archie, veronica, listserv@tcsvm.bitnet, etc to no avail.

This is not a personal request.  I'm working on a project to collect
electronic journal for CICNet and as Nutworks is one of the older ones
I thought it would be a good addition for historical reasons to the

So there I am on Sat. at the final planning meeting for EveCon and 
our programming director says to me "Well, we've got 3 zine panels,
but they're all just really recruitment things, so why don't you
do a how-to or roundtable or something...pleeez?"
So I said yes.....So now I have to come up with something to say.

So, I've written down some of my own ideas, but its definitely not
an hours worth, so what I'm asking for from the a.z.-ers out there
is this: Send me stuff on what you think makes a zine work.
What doesn't make it work?
If you could say one thing about doing a interview what would it be?>
What do you do when you've got 6 months worth of collected stuff and
you can't use any of it?

I think you kind of know what I'm getting at now...
Anyways, if you could answer these or make up your own and then 
answer them, I'd really appreciate it.
(What would be *REALLY* cool is if you're going to be at EveCon on
1/1/93-1/3/93 and you could actually help me co-host this thing)

Organization: Whole Earth 'Lectronic Link

APA's are a neat form of many-to-many communications.  Each 'member' of the
APA contributes X number of pages and a set number of copies.  Say you have
5 pages on the subject that is covered by the APA (not all are subject
specific, just most of them).  The APA has 20 members and 30 subscribers.
You would make 50 copies of your 5 pages and mail them to the coordinator.
The coordinator collates everyones' copies, staples them together, and mails
them out to the subscribers and members.

There is an APA I just received, it will be reviewed in a later file, that
combines the APA zine with a MUD/MUSE.  Think of it as an Internet MUD
routed fifty times around the moon and back, so response time is messured in
weeks instead of seconds.

Date: Fri, 18 Dec 1992 17:21:34 GMT


I'm in the process of creating my first *real* tooltalk-capable
application and have a few questions that perhaps somebody might
be able to answer.

1.  Is there a *guarantee* that all observers receive my message?

2.  I cannot seem to get a little tooltalk pgm to communicate
over a WAN.  There is no common X session or (obviously) common
process group.  How do I remedy this?

3.  The (sparse) examples that I've seen only send simple ints
among session members.  Does anyone have any examples of sending
a structure?   Both simple (ie, no ptrs in struct) and a complex
(ie, ptrs) would be helpful examples.

4.  My performance tests, informal as they may be, indicate that
tooltalk is fine for high-level communication (ie, open app, iconify
app) but seems to be slow and perhaps unusable for things like 
real-time data feeds.  Can anyone corroborate this?

5.  Can anyone compare (Athena) Zephyr to ToolTalk, or am I comparing
apples and pi-mesons here?

Thanks,

Frank G.

Yeah, should've been 'Uncle Thesticle'

Who the *fuck* knows or care about your history, man ? Hell, you're
probably even proud of your stupid little nick-name.

Would you take a person called 'Donald Duck' seriously ? Ooops, I

Thus you (or them) ripped of the character name invented by
the show producers, what's the problem ? I don't fucking care who
you're ripping off and I doubt the name would have the same impact
if it hadn't been for The Addams Family.

name themselves after comics or fantasy movies just adding a syllable
