I have business reasons for not posting pictures of myself in the pictures thread, considering my controversial views. However, I have looked at all of the pictures in that thread because I am curious to know what people I am talking to. Lately, I started thinking about how trippy it would be to run into somebody out in the world and recognize them from their pictures on this site. I haven't decided if I would have more fun playing a guessing game or just coming right out and shocking them with it. Because I love Florida so much and go there all the time, I have this really strange feeling that some day I am going to run into Oneironaut on my way to Miami or in Key West or Disney World or something (Every time I go to Disney World, I bump into about twenty people I know from Mississippi.). It is very possible and even sort of likely that I will eventually run into somebody I recognize from here. So I am wondering... Has anybody here had such an experience? Have you been at a gas station on your way to somewhere and seen a face you recognize from here and gone, "Hey, you have such and such screen name on Dream Views. I have such and such one."?

I did bump into somebody from here somewhere else in cyberspace one time. There was a guy here with the screen name Freshbrains. He was a major, major fan of The Who. Well, I was on Youtube looking at a video about the best guitarists of all time. I left a comment. Then I looked at the other comments, and on the same page I left one, there was a comment by somebody with the screen name Freshbrains. His comment was about just how phenomenal The Who's Pete Townshend is. It totally tripped me out, considering the size of cyberspace. However, I still have not done that in the physical realm. Who has?

Maybe you've bumped into me already, and didn't realize it. :ninja:

Hehe.

But yeah, that would be freaky. Can't say that I've run into anyone from here at DV yet, though I can think of a number of people I'd like to run into.

Yes, we know how you would like to run naked into some hot-female(male?)-on-this-site's vagina(penis?)
Who knows, we should all wear shirts tha say
"I come from dreamviews.com, do you? If you do, how would you like to come to my place, i can show you the underpants I bought off of CluD! They say the same thing as this, i use them when i go to my phsychadelic drug parties =]"

My husband has. A couple years ago or so we went on a Baltic Cruise with a Mac group (Apple computing).
He's a huge fan of podcast and "follows" Leo Leporte (sp) and David Pogue.
On the drive to the airport we were waining philosophical and I told him that no matter how crabby I am or how rude people may be to me, I always give them the benefit of the doubt and look at them as if they're my spiritual brothers and sisters (or may one day become such).
Hubby tends to be a crab-ass about a lot of things and his motto is more along the lines of "kill everyone and let God sort them out".
But, thankfully, our conversation had left an impression on him.

We flew out of Pitsburg to New York or some such and we had a miserable lay over.
There was a guy playing with his son, sitting on the ground with a sort of "hippy" attitude about him. The kid was REALLY getting on hubby's nerves because he kept vibrating the seats.
Hubby held his tongue though and I was extremely proud of him.

When we got to the ship and went to the first lecture, he realized the guy with the noisy kid was there and the guy was none other than David Pogue.
They belong to a lot of the same groups and sites and had a real laugh about the whole thing.

I've ran into the same people several times throughout cyberspace, but never in life.

Met up with Carou once.

Didn't go so well. He's a real jerk-wad in real life.

Unfortunately I can't seem to get rid of him.

Got Religious Studies with him next Tuesday. Goddamn.

I've briefly met two DVers a few years ago: Je33ica and MickeysElbow, who both don't hang out here any more as far as I know. I met Jess when I was in San Diego and MickeysElbow found a DV card that I'd left in a coffee shop on campus at UM.

I could also think of a number of people I would enjoy meeting. I intend to visit a few some day when I have time and money.....

I think DV cards should make a come back.
May increase some future chance meetings, and new members.

Shift Del and I had made some of those a while back, I might start dropping them again...

I would love to Jake run into a DV member Jake sometimes or Jake another.

Yeah, that'd be it.

Maybe I'll make a habit of wearing shirts with large, multicolored eyes on them that you'll feel are always staring at you.

You know, now that I think about it, I'd really like to catch someone in the middle of a reality check. Then I could ask them if they know anything about dreamviews.

I actually skipped out on a meet-up w/ Seeker and Howie in Cleveland before I lived up here--a very important music festival came up :oops:

I know there are at least a half dozen of us around town, but to my knowledge we've never crossed paths. Perhaps if they did recognize me, they would wisely reverse course before I launched in to an Extended Discussion.

I never just "bumped into" a DV member, but I met Seeker (and Howe) when he came up to visit (I think that's the same meeting Tao is refering to). I still hang out with Howie every now and then. Haven't heard much of Seeker lately :( . I've also had another DV member stay with me a few months.

Okay, the amount of coincidence here is just crazy.

Yesterday at 'work' (camping out on the mountain photographing a huge school group from around Tampa as they learned about cordage-making, rabbit sticks and how to use them, and native lore, then ate dinner and raised hell) in between cutting up with the counselors and taking the pictures, I 'just bumped into' a Dream Views member.

Actually, I'd better clarify; I didn't get his username here, because of various distractions and subject changes, and I'm not even positive he has a username, but we'd got to talking about knives, paracord, graphic design, and then web development, and I mentioned lucid dreaming. Yes, he'd heard of it, knew what it ws, practiced it. I asked if he'd ever heard of Dream Views, and the answer was yes! I told him that I had been an admin here until fairly recently, and was just about to ask his username when we got distracted and I had to go back to photographing the face-painting session.

It's just as well, really, because he was one of the kids there; a seventh grader of 13, though he seemed much more mature, I will say. So even if I'd gotten his username, I wouldn't have given it here. I did not get the chance to talk to him in any length again, unfortunately; he seemed like a pretty cool kid.

Anyway, pretty cool coinciddence if you ask me, seeing as I'd just seen this thread a couple days prior.

Yeah, it was pretty weird. To make it even crazier, he's also a member of another forum I frequent, and have been at even longer than I've been here (BladeForums).

If you see Mystic7, hit him with something heavy and tell him it's from me.

If you see Kiza, hit him with something heavy and tell him I said, "Write more," but don't hurt his hands.

If you see DairyMan, hit him with a milk bottle and don't bother telling him anything.

If you see any other Australian DV Members, I don't really give a fuck. Unless it's Mel Gibson. In which case, drop your kilt and moon the bastard.

If you see Kiza, give him tons of money and worship him like some demi-god devil monster and then give him lots of females to have sex with.

If you see any other Australian DV Members, I don't really give a fuck. Unless it's Mel Gibson. In which case, drop your kilt and moon the bastard.

I agree with this one.
