My name is sexy! Mwahahaha...

(Thanks for the compliment, mindsi. )

i got my sn by combining my 2 favorite animals : scorpions & butterflys.
i think its better than my first sn : adidasman10 i got that one because i have an adidas tattoo on my arm so ppl called me adidasman. and at the time i only had 10 tattoos

My screen name is simply my real name. With a -tastic attached to it. And an exclamation point.
Because I love exclamation points.

See?!?

I got mine from GTA San Andreas. The guy called the TheTruth is cool with the hair and the weed and the whole hippie thing he has goin. And its my handle on every forum.

I was inspired by a movie that I saw years ago: "eXistenZ" by David Cronenberg. It was about virtual realities created in our minds. People entered dreamy-like worlds by connecting to a biological device, a creature named "Gamepod".

eXistenZ

I chose mine the day I first heard the word Oneironaut, and I was surprised that it was available when I registered under it. I'm thinking about changing it soon, though. Just not sure as to what.

Ynot
prouncounced "why not"
my name backwards
used as a stage name / screen name / graf tag

It was a toss-up between Danger-Russ and Cantanker-Russ. Since I usually tell people my middle name is "Danger" when they ask, and put myself in danger just for the hell of it, i felt the former was more appropriate.

Glad you chose Danger, russ. With the hyphen, "Cantanker" would have really stood out, and reminded me of "cankersore" whenever I saw it.

We all feel that way a lot, 'specially me.

By the way, have I ever told you I freaking love your custom title?

Yeah, mine's my name.....

People in ski school would ask me my name, I wouldn't wanna answer so I'd say something corny like Mr.Smith. At some point I said Jesus. That became my nick. Then it evolved into Gezus so that I can be special. Although that's only over the internet, my actual nickname is G, or Gspot in some cases.

the "meaning of life is [overlimit]" thingy? i just kindof faked my way but thxs

I have a twin brother and at college one of my friends kept referring to us as clones, not twins. Actually he called me the evil clone, but when i registered a new interweb address for mail, evilclone was already taken. So I thought about what else I was, how I was different from my twin. I realized everyone else kept clumping me together with him, while I wanted to separate from him. So I thought about it, and realized while I was thinking, my thoughts were really out there, in a disconnected out of touch with the rest of society way. I searched several expressions in a Thesaurus to capture that, and I decided on distant.

So DistantClone means "twin that thinks much differently".

If id joined DV before i became personal slave to a hyper intelligent two year old gremlin i may have been called Beneficent or intunewivlife, or happycrumpet , but no sleep, no time, no identity - jaded is how i feel man.

Bahahahaha! I don't know why, but the name "happycrumpet" is really funny. You should totally have picked that instead.

As for my name, it is the name of my favorite person in the world with the number 75 on the end because that's the number I always use! Sometimes I also go by Shadowmaster75. It doesn't have any real meaning, but it does make me sound cool... Also, I occasionally go by Maximum, a nickname given to me by a cousin that describes my awsomeness.

my sn is "dream architect" in latin. so thats why i choes it. it sounds really cool if i do say so myself.

Phowa or Powa (pronounced poe-a) is an ancient Buddhist practice of the transference of consciousness. I've been attempting to use dream yoga to explore the mind and consciousness.

At the time I was craving a Cajun shrimp Po-boy sandwich. And there you have it.

Thanks to korothism (another member of DV) I discovered why my screen name "eXistenZ" has X and Z in capital letters: "isten" in Hungarian means "God".
The producers of the movie "eXistenZ" from which I took the name were Hungarian.

I didnt' know it. So, now I know what I'm using as screen name

eXistenZ

Smokeblender ;D

Guess what I was doing at the time when I came up with that

In your lucid dream you are the controller of the universe. You are the god. My name is "Unni Krishnan Koroth". My dreaming world has the law set by me. I love to call it by the name "Korothism". 8)

Usually most every forums/message board I go to I choose the name SuperLobster. The name is about 7 years old and was created by myself. Not that nobody has never muttered something like that ever, but it was kind of the creation of this ultimate, untouchable, undefeatable, silly icon. It's to the point that whenever I am with someone and they see something lobster related, they have to show me. I have also gotten many lobster-themed knick-knacks over the years as well.

Coming to this site, I thought it would be more appropriate to make it somehow dream related, so I just changed Super to Dream.
