the collective unconsciousness project has finally launched!
Here you can travel through the dream database in a fluid and exploratory manner.

Your travel will be based on connections of ideas and themes, and will be formed by both your interactions and the connections that are created. You have a limited amount of control, yet everything is related somehow.

I want…

To stay home, in bed with my sweetie… a plate of fresh, chilled, succulent fruit on a platter… some coffee, and a bowl of alpha-bits.

I just want to cuddle, nap, munch and make love today. Is that so wrong?

Cop Tells Fire truck – No Parking In Fire Lane

DC’s fire and police departments are investigating an incident in Northwest in which there was some sort of dispute between an officer and a firefighter. Sources tell the station a fire truck pulled up to attach a hose to a hydrant. But a police officer — in the area to patrol during a demonstration — told the firefighter not to park there, and he had to “move the truck or be arrested.”

Iraq Has The Nuke

Iraq tested a bomb in 1987 that cast a radioactive cloud in the open air and was designed to cause vomiting, cancer, birth defects and slow death, according to a secret Iraqi report on the weapon’s construction and testing.
Radiation or radiological weapons, sometimes known as “dirty nukes,” are the poor cousins of nuclear arms. Their conventional high explosives scatter highly radioactive materials to poison targets rather than destroying them with blast and heat. Their effects on people can range from radiation sickness to agonizingly slow death, which is why military experts often see them as ethically bankrupt.

Man Gets Paid $20K For Not Being a Child Molester

A Manitoba man wrongly accused of sexually assaulting his child has received $20,000 compensation from a child welfare agency. The man from Beausejour, who cannot be identified to protect his daughter’s identity, fended off the allegations between 1995 and 1999, when an over-zealous social worker was convinced he was guilty.

Pedicurist Bath Blamed for Boils

A trip to the beauty salon was anything but pretty for more than 100 women in California.

NC Researchers: Wrestling Is The Cause Of All Problems

High school students who watch wrestling on television may also be more likely to drink, chew tobacco, carry a gun and fight with their dates, according to North Carolina researchers who presented their findings Saturday at the Pediatric Academic Societies Annual Meeting in Baltimore, Maryland.
Among high school boys, 63% of whom were recent viewers, watching wrestling was associated with having started a
fight with a date, as well as with carrying a gun or other weapon, using chewing tobacco, taking Ritalin without a prescription and driving after drinking alcohol, according to the survey results.
Yeah, remember that time Stone Cold injected ritalin into his eye?
That was AWESOME!

But He Was Just A Bum

A homeless man appearing in court on a minor charge of drinking in public gasped for air and pleaded for medical help, but the judge summoned nurses and let the man lie on the floor as other defendants filed through the busy courtroom. Ten minutes later, U.S. marshals pulled the man, Robert Waters, 54, to his feet and took him not to a hospital but a cellblock. He later died
“He kept asking for help, saying, ‘I can’t breathe, man.’ And the marshals would say, ‘Right, buddy.’ He finally collapsed on the floor. When they went in there, he wasn’t breathing.”

No Toilet Paper For You
=================================
Waunda Briggs called her two daughters Tuesday with a late-night
emergency. They were down to one roll of toilet paper. Get some more.
No problem, they said.
Thirty minutes later, the phone rang.
“Mom, they are refusing to sell me the toilet paper,” Briggs’
20-year-old daughter told her.
The clerk at Top Food and Drug refused to sell the 24-pack of toilet
paper, pointing to a Snohomish police request that area stores not sell
toilet paper to youngsters late at night.

Boy Kills Chimp – It Was Asking For It
=================================
One of the perks of living in her neighborhood, Lynn Boischel says, is

“‘I just got myself a monkey’ is what he said,”

Joy Riding With Style and Corpses
=================================
A hearse loaded with flowers is not the kind of wheels you like to be
in when you pull up alongside a group of girls, or guys, and say, “Hey,
want a ride?”
But a couple of young men jumped into just such a conveyance Saturday
morning outside of a church in Reading – just as a funeral director was
about to load a body into it – and peeled away.

negatively influence what African Americans eat.
