-Ecclesiastes 1:8-11: "All things are wearisome, more than one can say. The eye never has enough of seeing, nor the ear its fill of hearing. What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun. Is there anything of which one can say, "Look! This is something new"? It was here already, long ago; it was here before our time. There is no remembrance of men of old, and even those who are yet to come will not be remembered by those who follow."-

I had a much more reasonable 2 glasses of milk at lunch, 3 at dinner, and two (small) glasses with an evening snack yesterday. Much better results! A full (if disturbing, it involved slitting necks... well, at least no one died though, there was just a lot of blood) dream, one that I easily remembered to remember when I awoke. Also: less discomfort.

Wouldn't it be so cool if people actually had personal theme music like they do in video games and movies? I mean, like that actually played as they walked around and did their daily activities.

I guess you could give people these little devices to carry around all the time. They could communicate with other devices so you could warp the theme riff to match the ambient mood or harmonize with other people's music, if they were nearby. You could hook it up to a little biofeedback piece too, so it would change to match how you were feeling (like how in computer games you can always tell when the villain is angry because their music suddenly goes all ominous!).

To really take off, these would have to be (1) comfortable, (2) not too annoying (heh, fat chance finding a music style everyone can live with as a constant undercurrent of everything), (3) easy to turn on and off quickly if necessary, (4) and fairly cheap and goof-proof, i.e. you can make it convey the mood/style you want with little or no musical knowledge.

Hey, sounds like a job for Google!

Remember to reality check. Looks like I'm not dreaming right now: this text stays the same when I look away and back, I have 5 fingers, I can see my nose, I can't breathe if I plug it, and I come right back down if I jump. Of course, this could all be a part of YOUR dream!
