Thread: What does your username mean?

It has two meanings. My objective to learn more about my dreams and lucid dreaming as a whole. And also to handle my not so pleasant dreams & nightmares with dream control.

I'm not actually sure, I used to go by the name Phase, but that was taken on DV So I just added 'd' the end of it, and that sounded cool enough.

That's okay we all make mistakes. That's what my username means [;

s'my job

Mine is my nick name. My real name is Luke but "oo" kind of has the same pronunciation as the "u" so Luke - U = Lke + "oo" = Looke over complicated explanation much ?
thought I would answer the question appropriately.

Looke (:

Being trans*, Maxis is made-up and is my chosen name (more of a name I use online, I go more often by simply Max).

I wanted to use something different then my usual bunch of nicknames I use online. To sound somewhat fantasy-y, which I thought is appropriate for a forum about lucid dreaming, I decided to go with Coheed. He is a fictional character from the lyrics of the band "Coheed and Cambria"s songs.
It's an alternative rock band if anyone is interested. I'm a big fan of their stuff.

Hah all this time I've been pronouncing it in my mind as "Lookie" like "Lookie what we have over here"

Wasatch is for the Wasatch mountain range, which I've lived in the shadow of my entire life. They're what I use to navigate the world by (literally) and I feel completely lost when I'm in a location without them nearby.

When I was young, I still believed and God and got into my head that God had forgotten to give me a soul and that was why I was so different from others. Although I no longer believe in God, the idea of lacking something fundamental in others still remains. It's a suitable replacement for any scientific explanation.

I love Wasatch beer.

I've had their raspberry wheat one, it wasn't bad.

It's just my name

Went crazy last year about this time of year. Started thinking I was Santa Claus so I just changed it to Claws. Hell why not right? HO HO HO

It's a favorite Pokemon of mine

Sekhmet is an ancient Egyptian goddess. I used to really love mythology of all kinds and Sekhmet was always my favourite of all the gods and goddesses I read about (and mildly studied as a hobby).

She's a bare-breasted, lion-headed, warrior woman who represents the power of the sun, as well as contradictory things such as: war and healing, motherhood and death, etc.

Spoiler for Sekhmet's most famous myth:

In Sekhmet's most well known myth, the sun god Ra is despondent about humans being disrespectful towards him and he sends Sekhmet to straighten them out. A war is fought and won, but Sekhmet does not stop the killing when the battle ends. She starts slaughtering the human race indiscriminately, delightfully drinking their blood, which fuels her desire for more death and also makes her a sort of mythological proto-vampire. When Ra realized what was happening he tries to stop Sekhmet but she is too far gone in her bloodlust to reason with. Ra wanted the human's punished, not completely destroyed, yet even the greatest of the gods (who created all the others) had to back down before her ferocious power in fear of his own existence. Ra and the other gods then mixed thousands of liters of beer with pomegranate juice, making the beer turn a red colour like blood, and poured it out into the deserts ahead of Sekhmet's destructive path. When she came across what she thought was a river of blood, Sekhmet eagerly drank and drank and drank... and kept drinking pretty much till she had ingested it all and was so drunk she passed out. When she woke up she was so hungover she had forgotten all about destroying the humans and became a more passive goddess of healing and motherhood, rather than one of destruction and death.

The ancient Egyptian "festival of intoxication" was celebrated in honor of Sekhmet and was one of the largest festivals of the year. It was a drunken reverie of wild dancing and music, much like the Roman Bacchanalia, but existing thousands of years before. In another myth, the festival of intoxication was created to recognize Sekhmet saving humankind from drowning in the flooding of the Nile river every year. The Nile would turn a red color as it picked up sediments as it overflowed its banks. To stop this, Sekhmet would drink the overflowing red river, then dance wildly across the desert to celebrate her victory over the flooding.

I just think she's awesome.

It means I'm a freak duh.

I'm your Conscience... and I'm telling you to stop being a dick

The short version of my first and middle name (Gabriel Alexandru).

I originally wanted to go with Enigma because I love the word and also because Enigma is one of my favorite bands. However it was taken so next was Enigmatic, no dice either, so its Enigmatik! But it means mysterious!

That's almost as funny as hearing you actually pronounce the ~~ in my name on the podcast!
I cracked up when I heard you say "tilde Dreamer tilde" and wondered if anyone else reads it like that... haha!

I guess the meaning of my name doesn't need an explanation, but the reason I chose it is because I wanted to have the least identifiable name possible... I like having anonymity on public forums, and I can't think of anything more vague than 'Dreamer' on a lucid dreaming website.

Astral for Astral Projection (though I'm not interested in it; weird) and Mango for... well, I just like mangos.
