That’s a pretty impressive amount of fluid! Good lord. How are you doing?
Cats are great too! I’m sure they help keep you out of the deepest of holes. But yeah, something that forces me to go outside is really helpful. I also recommend if you usually get things delivered,…
This is one of my favorite rabbit holes in lucid dreaming. That recursive moment where you realize the DC's reaction to your insight is ALSO you... it's like holding two mirrors facing each other. I …
