This dream is sponsored by Amazon. Don't like how it's going? Dream, "Alexa, wake me up!".

Don't ever trust that UFO blog for anything

I legitimately don't know why it's not blacklisted from communities about actual science.

Even if they're trying to talk about a real thing, absolutely none of the details or many extrapolations will ever be accurate.

So you’ve never fallen asleep thinking “I’d really love to dream about X tonight”?

[–] termaxima@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 month ago

Yes I have. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, I think that's good.
