Thread: Ever Used A Dream Rag?

Hello all, long time no see. I haven't been getting on as much due to school and my motivation going down from not having a single darn LD (and dream recall diminishing as well) but I returned after finding something in a book i had to read for my history/english class: Life of Pi

The book is about an Indian boy that survives 277 days at sea with a variety of animals and towards the end, where his strength is slowly waning and he is too weak to move, he begins to make use of a dream rag.

Taken directly from the 87th chapter of the book,

"One of my favorite methods of escape was what amounts to gentle asphyxiation. I used a piece of cloth that I cut from the remnants of a blanket. I called it my dream rag. I wet it with sea water so that it was soaked but not dripping. I lay comfortably on the tarpaulin and I placed the dream rag on my face, fitting it to my features. I would fall into a daze, not difficult for someone in such an advanced state of lethargy to begin with. But the dream rag gave me a special quality to my daze. It must have been the way it restricted my air intake. I would be visited by the most extraordinary dreams, trances, visions, thoughts, sensations, remembrances" (Yann Martel 298-99).

If anyone is up to trying this out feel free. I may try it later. I'm rather tired so ima go nap now

Feedback would be awesome.
