Freaky dream

The first thing that's freaky about it is that it happened while on the train to work. I can't recall ever dreaming on the train before, it's rare I sleep that deeply.

Basically before falling asleep, I noticed the guy in front of my get a pack of tissues from his bag, retrieve a tissue and put the pack back in his bag. The relevance for noteing this will come later. Then some unknown time after departing our final stop before London, I was asleep.

I dreamt I was in the very same seat in the very same train and so I subconsciously thought it was reality. I noticed the guy in front of me had dropped his pack of tissues on the floor and apparantly hadn't realised. I saw them on the floor, and then the next moment they were in my hand. I then started willing myself to tap the guy in front of me to hand the tissues back to him but found it hard to do so. I struggled and struggled and sometime around now, I awoke.

I couldn't move my arms because I had fallen asleep with them folded but just as I awoke my left arm was beginning to stretch out. Gathering my bearings on waking I retracted my arm before I did anything and suddenly felt self-conscious that people would be looking at me and so looked around. One person was looking at me but I didn't think I was doing anything silly.

Looking around, it appeared that I was just arriving at London but I was left feeling rather unsettled. It was like my conscious thought was breaking into my dream... I guess that's like what Lucid Dreaming is about. I wondered if it was essentially like sleep walking maybe making me quite worred about being unable to control my body while unconscious...

Invader Zim goodness

I've had a collection of all the Invader Zim episodes since the time the became available. However, they were all in a random state of encoding, size and quality. However, I recently discovered a site where you can download all of the episodes in 3 1.2gb bittorrent packs. All episodes are DivX5 and are in 512x384 res. Been downloading them at work over the past few days with the last pack waiting for me to burn to CD when I get in to work tomorrow. I can say I'm very impressed witht he quality, much better than what I had before. Nice and crisp quality on the whole :)

As an added bonus, the lost episodes have finally been aired in places around the world and so they are finally showing on the net. the best place I've found to get the new files is here but alas as they are BitTorrent files, not all of them are available. I'll have enough files to fill a 4.7gb DVD once I'm done with downloading all these files. Looks like there will be even more to come if TVTome is to be believed.

Not really news as such but I felt like putting it in my journal so others can enjoy the files as much as I have. If you've never heard of Zim or maybe you have and have discarded it as a childish cartoon because it's on Nickelodeon then you should probably take a look. Why Nick had the show, I'm not too sure, it was a but too mature compared with their usual stuff. Probably why it ended up getting cancelled after one season considering they didn't really know what to do with it. If you're interested, find more info on Zim stuff at roomwithamoose.com.
