/jp/ - Otaku Culture

[Anonymous No.]

So I've begun to learn japanese in my spare time at my own speed, i learned the hiragana/katagana and started grammar and kanji, all while reading some mangos to get the hang of it.

As of right now, i've been onto this shit for like 2 hours trying to decipher this fucking thing, pic related.
WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS CHARACTER? It looks like NOTHING in both alphabets and sure as hell is not a kanji, so what the fuck am I looking at here?

thank you.

If you people just used something like Heisig's book on kana you'd get information on how the flow of strokes is supposed to work, so you'd understand why り might look like that, and you'd get exposed to numerous different fonts for each character.

handwritten japanese people write tends to look different from textbook font, from what ive seen. handwritten has this rough sort of laziness quality that i cant really explain, but it looks appealing.

Not that guy but from what I heard lucid dreaming seems to be a mix between sleep paralysis and sonambulism, two opposite things.

[Anonymous No.]

>>10476934
>>10476961
Every night, you go into sleep paralysis: everyone does, its a defense mechanism. it only happens during REM sleep, aka whn you dream. when people sleepwalk, that mechanism doesnt work, and they act out their dreams. sleep paralysis is the opposite of sleep walking: instead of your brain thinking you're awake when you're asleep, it thinks you're asleep when you're in fact awake.

Do a trick lucid dreamers do: when you're awake, multiple times a day, look at something: a clock, a word document with some words, etc. make sure its something that is around you when you sleep (a clock in your room, a document on your wall, etc. ). read it. read it again. repeat in like a half hour or so. then, when you're in sleep paralysis (which IS real) look at it. read it. read it again. if the words have changed or are dancing around, you're lucid dreaming. congratulations. if they're the same, after a week of this practice, your brain should recognize you're awake, not sleeping, and you'll regain movement. however, movin your eyes around does nothing. at all. good luck.

I have been unintentionally been in lucid dreams before and most of the time while they were pretty crazy they were not good. I kept a dream journal for a while.

[Anonymous No.]

>>10476989
Why would I need to do that trick? Isn't it obvious that I'm lucid dreaming? Isn't the fact that I know I'm dreaming the whole point of lucid dreaming?

I don't get it.

[Anonymous No.]

>>10477033
You do the trick so that you can make yourself aware that you are dreaming. When most people dream, they aren't aware that they are dreaming, and so their dreams are not lucid. It's just something to do so that you can get more consistent results.

[Anonymous No.]

-In a lucid dream you can do ANYTHING you want in an instant. It's wonderful.

-Some comatose people can dream. Other people can't.

-Once you become lucid, you'll remain like that until you wake up.

Now imagine this: you fall into a coma for 50 years and you happen to have a lucid dream. Wouldn't that be paradise on Earth?

Is it really as fucking awesome as it sounds?

[Anonymous No.]

>>10477158
It is, and a great deal of practice is needed to do so. Alternatively, talent is needed for it. Some people just need to say, "Okay, I'm going to lucid dream" before going to bed and it happens.

[Anonymous No.]

>>10477001
I'll add that if you want to do WILD make sure that you read the website that is linked. It sounds like it's really easy to just make yourself lucid dream whenever you want, but it's not like, because you have to time it to your REM cycles and shit.

Having sex with your favorite video game character is pretty awesome, but there's so many other fun things to do in your dreams, it would be a waste doing nothing but sex when you're lucid.

Could a shocking dream be fatal?

According to folklore, if you fall from a height in a dream, you'd better wake up on the plunge downward. Supposedly, if you hit the bottom and die in your dream, the shock to your system will be so great that you will actually die in your sleep. Think about this one for a moment. If it were a genuine problem, who would have reported it? You can be sure that no one has ever testified to experiencing a fatal dream. This myth presumably exists because many people do awaken during the downward plunge, thinking that they've averted a close call. A study by Barrett suggests that dreams of one's own death are relatively infrequent. However, people do have such dreams - and live to tell about them.

That reminds me of one my dreams.
I stuck my head through the floor. Then my head started melting through everything. After a while I had lost sense of which way I was melting and I started to realise I must be dreaming. This is when I started getting a headache and I felt sick from the concept I was melting. So I tried putting my head back together and I threw up (in the dream). which is when I woke up with the mother of all headaches and dry heaving.

So yeah I kinda believe you could die in a dream. Sorry for the blog

Do animals perceive reality like it was a dream? A dog's normal consciousness seems to be about as powerful as a dreaming human's consciousness. They just follow the "script" of life, just like we follow a script of events and emotions in non-lucid dreams.

What do you think?

Also, do dogs perceive time differently? Their reflexes are crazy!

[Anonymous No.]

>>10477383
It's possible to have a dream where something so scary happens you hyperventilate and suffocate. or something like that I don't know, but it is definately possible to die from a dream.

Since they don't worry about anything (or rather, they live in the present and never think about the past or worry about the future), they probably perceive time more slowly.

The same happens to children, more or less. They don't have crazy reflexes, though.

[Anonymous No.]

>>10477448
Probably because children are still developing. As they grow they begin to perceive differently. I mean, a newborn animal has shit reflexes for a while.

[Anonymous No.]

>>10477454
I think it's a matter of memory. Children live every day to the fullest. That's why your childhood memories seem like a lifetime.

If you spend a huge part of the day thinking about shit you have to do or regretting something you did an hour (or a day, or a month) ago, you won't create new memories. You can't, because you aren't completely focused in your present actions.

The next day you will look back and it will seem like yesterday passed by in a flash. That's because you don't have many memories of that day.

The way you said it reminded me of the last battle of Umineko ("breaking through X, breaking through Y, breaking through everything").

Your description sounded awkwardly epic even though it was supposed to be a nightmare.

[Anonymous No.]

>>10477419
You already had a headache and you were already sick. The dream just reflected that.
Reality can creep into your dreams, but your dreams will never change reality. So you won't die from your dream.

If you do dream of death and you really die, you were going to die anyway.

I once dreamed something really weird when I was sick. I was about 10 years old.

In the dream, I didn't have a body. I had an omniscient point of view. Two middle aged men (one looked like Mr. Trololo and the other had a big italian mustache) were racing in a giant, circular swimming pool . It was a fierce race, their arms were like fucking propellers. After a while, they began to get mad, their faces were distorted with rage, their speed became superhuman and their screams turned into some horrible noise. That noise gave me a headache. It sounded like mad screams were coming from an horribly broken radio. The noise grew louder and louder after every lap. When my headache became unbearable, I suddenly awakened and threw up in my bed.

What the hell was that?

[Anonymous No.]

If you notice, the second stroke always extends longer than the first stroke for り. The opposite is true for い. Also い tends to lean to its left. Compare the two pictures and you should be able to tell the difference.
