Re: My dreamscape within a dream Here is essentially what I have in mind -> Character falls asleep, then their dream self/astral projection can reach this dream pocket dimension. The dimension starts out small, but can be expanded in time with "dreaming rolls". Time flows slower here: one "real" second is three "dream" seconds here (effectively giving up to twenty four hours for the eight hours slept in the real world). If dream selves get hurt in the dimension, nothing happens to the real selves. HOWEVER...since the character can bring in someone with their consent via a telepathic message, if they happen to be the awake, and then THEY get injured/killed...that stays when they return to the real world. This, of course, can be avoided if those being brought in are already asleep as well.

Re: Ctrl+V Okay were to start. Let's begin with you're assertion that the US is a Christian nation. That statement is completely false and I for one resent your attempt to rewrite history. First off, the US Constitution is the Supreme Law of the land. Nowhere in the Constitution are the words God, Christianity, Jesus, or any supreme being mentioned. Of our founding fathers, most of them were not Christian (a majority were either Freemasons or believed in the tennents of Deistic Philosophy) and although some did hold Christian ideals, they were in no way advocating a theocracy in any way, shape, or form. If you take into account the religious beliefs of our first 4 Presidents who had the largest hand in framing our nation you'll find that none of them were Christian. George Washington was a Mason, John Adams was Unitarian, and Thomas Jefferson and James Madison believed in Deistic Philosophy. The omission of God / Christianity in the Constitution did not come out of forgetfulness, but rather out of the Founding Fathers purposeful intentions to keep government separate from religion. The part of the 1st ammendment that you refered to states: "Congress shall make NO law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;" while you are correct in your statement that it does not restrict it from being pracitced you are also incorrect in your presumption that it is in any way a barometer of our Nation being founded on Christian ideals. Thomas Jefferson made an interpretation of the 1st Amendment to his January 1st, 1802 letter to the Committee of the Danbury Baptist Association calling it a "wall of separation between church and State." Madison had also written that "Strongly guarded...is the separation between religion and government in the Constitution of the United States." There existed little controversy about this interpretation from our Founding Fathers or its jurisprudence. American Founding Fathers set up a government divorced from any religion. The secular nature of the U.S. goverenment was explicitly revealed to a foreign nation in the Treaty of Tripoli by stating in article 11 of it that: "As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquillity, of Musselmen; and as the said States never have entered into any war or act of hostility against any Mehomitan nation, it is declared by the parties that no pretext arising from religious opinions shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries." The preliminary treaty began with a signing on November 4, 1796 (during the end of George Washington's last term as president.) Joel Barlow, the American diplomat who served as counsel to Algiers and held responsibility for the treaty negotiations also served under Washington as a chaplain in the revolutionary army and was the priliminary author of the Treaty of Tripoli. Barlow forwarded the treaty to U.S. legislators for approval in 1797 and Timothy Pickering, the secretary of state, endorsed it. John Adams (now during his presidency), concurred with Pickering and it was sent to the Senate. The Senate approved the treaty on June 7, 1797, and officially ratified it. Then on June 10, 1797 John Adams signed it into law. All during this multi-review process of going through the checks and balances system and being subject to the rule of law, the wording of Article 11 never raised the slightest concern. The treaty even became public through its publication in The Philadelphia Gazette on 17 June 1797. So here we have a clear admission by the United States in 1797 that our government did not found itself upon Christianity. This treaty represented U.S. law as all U.S. Treaties do as outlined by Article VI, Section 2 of the US Constitution by stating: "This Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof, and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every State shall be bound thereby, anything in the constitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding." I'm not trying to start an arguement with you, but you are so incorrect on our laws and the actual jurisprudence with respect to their implementation that it warranted correction.

Re: Ctrl+V Parapsychology isn't something you master in. There are no certificates of graduation. No licenses to practice. I am a professional psychologist who spent most of my time engaged in this ghostly hobby, which makes me I suppose the most irresponsible woman of my age that I know...I'm absolutely terrified. It's all the things that we don't understand. I feel like the proto-human coming out of the forest primeval and seeing the moon for the first time and throwing rocks at it.
