In one dream both **reprise** and I were asked to stand down voluntarily to help reduce bandwidth. It seemed fair at the time, somehow, but I awoke straightaway in panic. Two nights ago I dreamed again. A vivid, disturbing dream about what people were posting. I could read the threads just like in real life. Lying in bed I remembered exactly what happened, but it’s now retreated from my mind. I am certain that banning was a key point of fear however. Bit sad really, isn’t it? Redboss ---

I’m normally inclined towards dreaming about that which occupies me. However after a year I’m still awaiting my first SDMB dream. My totally uneducated guess is that it’s because I don’t really have a mental picture to sink my mental teeth into for the purpose of dreaming. I have, however, woken up with a reply to a debate formed in my head, showing that I’ve been thinking about the debate in my sleep, which can’t _possibly_ be healthy. In other manias, I’ve started writing with tags in Word. In fact more than that - I’ve actually started complaining to people about the evils of WYSIWYG. Now _that_ is sad. pan ---

A case could be made that it thusly belongs in this very ATMB forum. ---

I’ve had SDMB dreams. **Rasa** randomly turned up in a dream once. I can’t remember what she was doing, but she had pink hair. La la la. ---

It’s ok, **Redboss** –I’ll demonstrate some basic codes for the newbies, and maybe **Tuba** will be merciful. [**b]Bold[**/b] = **Bold** [**i]Italic[**/i] = _Italic_ Underscore = Underscore Of course, if she _is_merciful, I’ll have to charge you for 2.25 hours. Research, y’know. I had a board dream at the high point of my involvement here, late last year. But then I found out that increasing the alcohol dosage put a stop to that sort of thing, and all was well.
