“The inability to remember is itself perhaps a memory.” — John Berger, And Our Faces, My Heart, Brief as Photos

In conversation with a friend, who used to teach remote viewing to the CIA, he would say, “When you begin with someone you have them close their eyes and tell you what they see.  If they said “Nothing” I’d tell them to look again. Often that was the starting place.  You’d go until maybe they’d say, “I see Black.”

I also had a client who spent her childhood in a concentration camp in Malaysia. She said she remembered nothing from those days.  But at the root of her depression was this lack of memory itself, which was the sum total of all pain.

Another client who as a child, survived holocaust in Russia and remembered nothing “Except cold. Being cold. Always cold.”  All memory banked as a single overwhelming sensation from which there was no escape.

I'm having one of those moments right now where I have a stupid quote stuck in my head but cant, for the life of me, figure out where it's from. I cant get it out of my mind but I just know months later I will remember the movie and the quote and be like, "why the heck am I remembering this and why does it feel like it was so important to me"?

Yume Nikki Dream Diary - Let’s Play:

Not in the mindset on recording a slideshow experience for my channel, so for any awaiting a let's play of Yume Nikki Dream Diary from me, it's not going to happen for a least 1-2 weeks. (Getting five frames per second at most, and that's before hitting record). x(

Edit: Before anyone says “Well, you can change the graphics settings so that they’re lower, you know that right?”, I set everything to it’s lowest, Windowed Mode, lowest resolution and lowest quality.

Edit 2: Waiting time for a let’s play is now unknown, couldn’t get Currys/PC World to repair my computer as the computer case/model number isn’t within their domain. (Sh*t excuse really...)

Listening to ppl quietly mutter their passwords and thinking "if I had any sort of a memory u would be so fucked right now"

I could try to break down little parts of the dreams (the little parts I kind of remember), but the little parts of the dream that I may remember would just be unorganized and obscured and insignificant to the bigger story of these dreams.

Waking up trying to remember an intense series of dreams while sleeping, but still feeling deeply affected by whatever happened in those dreams that I do not remember because all I remember knowing is that they were vivid and intense.

So there is this story once sixpenceee has posted but I can't remember how it was called. So there was this girl who had an invisible friend, I think the friend was like white, lumpy and didn't look like a human at all. And in the story, the friend becomes more aggressive since the girl is meeting other people. The girl eventually grows up to be a woman and gets a child. The insivisble friend gets jealous and tries to kill (?) the baby. I think, in the end the friend dies because it gets smaller and smaller until there is nothing left of her. The reason is that the girl is ignoring her friend, that's why the friend disappears. (I'm not quite sure is the story is 100% right though) Does anybody know what the story was called? Because it inspired me to do an animation of it. Thanks. ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ
