I always seem to have these epiphanies but then I forget about them like a day or a week later.

I've had a bunch in the last few days and alas I forgot most of them. So this thread is for writing them down when I get them. I invite you guys to criticise, but most will not be criticisable since they will be based on things which probably aren't solid fact. You'll see what I mean.

This isn't exactly an epiphany but something I need to think about.
I have heard that a lot of people don't dream in colour at all or they have monotonous or dully coloured dreams. I have no idea how they would test this since the people who claim that also claim people think they dream in colour when they really don't. That aside, a few psychologists have recently thought of schizophrenia as 'dreaming while awake'. They say that the brain works things out during the night while dreaming and if you are anxious/depressed your brain doesn't have enough time to work it all out and that's why people with anxiety/depression sleep more. Then people with schizophrenia don't just have excess dreams, their dreaming is overloaded. I can't explain it great without turning this into a topic about it so if you want to read more go here.

However I find that a lot of the time schizophrenic people wouldn't be seeing in black and white, monotone or dull colours. At the beginning most of them, if not all, have really bright, flowing, intense visuals just like how Aldous Huxley describes it in Brave New World.
So if it is true that these mental illnesses are caused by the need to dream, dreams must be in colour.

Ok anyway. Here's a proper epiphany.

So I got out of the shower just before and put my undies on backwards. Lets just say I realised why girls wear g-strings. It's so awesome, the towel on my bare arse felt great.

Anyway, I started thinking about all these luxuries we have now. We don't need them. I'm not talking, in the hunter gatherer sense, not needing them. I'm saying they're pointless.

Think about it. If you ever put salt on your food. It tastes a lot more, tasteful. Then you get worried about your health and stop. After a while it tastes just as good without salt. I put my undies on backwards and it felt so nice, after a while it just felt normal.

Just shows what we can live without and just be perfectly comfortable, I'm sure you could replace your bed with a pile of leaves and be just as happy.

Well, that's it for today.
