Ok, may as well announce it here too, introducing Cerebelle (@cerebelleapp): Cerebelle is your mobile bio-signal/motion data processing lab and research study distribution app for mobile first EEG/EMG/EOG/IMU studies in general BCI/sleep/dream research modalities on iPad & iOS.

WTH, it's on my door step already, like 2 days early?!?

Tweet categories (emotional/intellectual): E: 1. Feel, 2. Act I: 3. Think Tweet styles (market-influence/algorithm-reward/information/observation): M+A+O: 1. Condensed single subject-concept tweet; wit based I+O: 2. Long form single/multi-concept threads; knowledge based

I know it sounds kinda crazy :) Has anyone else encountered this type of thing in lucid dreaming or regular dreaming? If so, i'd love to know your experience with "It"

My "It" talks and also writes and draws in a very particular way. I've experienced this in other ways: I'm allergic to diphenhydramine and can see the "It's" writing as if embossed on plain walls when I stare at it when having the allergic reaction. All I need is a blank surface

That "It" appears in regular non-lucid dreams too, and it's more one-way knowledge transfer with no volitional 2-way interaction possible. The recognition isn't through a consistent "form" that it takes on, the qualities of it's personality is the way it's recognized consistently

I've told very few people in my life about this (fear of being misunderstood?) but I know it's experientially real & have literal notebooks filled with what I could glean from the interactions since ~20 years old. "It" can be absent for months, returns at opportune times though

"It" seems to be some kind of combined representation of other people I've met throughout my life & also parts of myself, that I recognize through various traits: speech cadence/humor/and relational role within my real life. Sometimes as an authority, other times as a prankster

One particular section in this article by @Saraphinn is an experience that I have when lucid dreaming: conversing & interacting with a character/entity that is a benevolent teacher. There's a clear in-dream distinction between yourself (inner monologue voice) vs. "it". But...

I understand that budget & class size has an influence over how much time a teacher can dedicate to individual students, the whole system needs an overhaul. But a shift to assessing students learning style, early in the process, and having multiple class models would only help

All of this makes me think of how the public education in K-12 in the us needs to be revamped to account for different learning styles in students. Whether self-directed or guided, the current focus on rote memory & recall over conceptual absorption & understanding hurts us.

Now? 10 year aged cheddar, of course 😉. Also, switching to Muenster for grilled cheese was amazing, it's perfect.

Counter argument: "learn-in-group" where primary focus is inverted to collaborative real-time knowledge sharing on the SAME project/subject, initial "pains" helped via peer explainability in real-time note taking; still pre-individual project though, reward via clarification

Cool use of an Arduino Teensy as game controller for iOS

Been locked out of my old phone & phone # for personal use for 2 weeks and new carrier replacement one from Verizon is coming via UPS in the next 3 days and I can't imagine some of the messages waiting for me on it 😬🫣
