Lucidipedia - Learn lucid dreaming
In summary, this technique recommends you to go to sleep at usual bedtime, wake yourself up an hour earlier than your usual wake-up time, recalling dreams, discovering dreamsigns within the hour and going to sleep again at the time the 60 minutes are up: delaying your original last-hour sleep for one hour later. Interrupting your morning sleep this way, enhances your chances of reaching lucidity like 20 times.
But is lucid dreaming actually worth reducing the quality of your sleep? I’d rather not interrupt my sleep and go for Tibetan dream yoga some day.

The door-close rain dance
The vast majority of the time, the door-close button on elevators doesn’t do anything. This is the case for the elevators in our office building.
When they’re in the lobby, and someone pushes a floor button, the elevators wait for an extra 5 seconds before closing the doors. This is an optimization to accumulate additional passengers — when lots of people are coming in and out of the lobby all the time, you don’t want elevators going up with just one person in them.
Inevitably, people start getting impatient and hitting the door-close button after about 4 seconds. It doesn’t do anything, but the doors close a second or two later regardless, so people think they’ve affected the outcome, and they push the door-close button again the next time. If they push the button too soon, and the elevator waits a few more seconds before closing the doors, the people assume that it’s just being slow today or they didn’t hit the button hard enough.
They never consider the possibility that their action is not related to the result.
This is why superstition works. Animals learn it, too. “If I perform this action, I get this result.” It takes a more advanced or analytical mind to consider performing a test: “If I take no action, will I get this result anyway?”
I secretly think less of door-close people in the elevator.
It’s the same with people who wiggle their mouse to hurry up the computer. Check this out.
Btw, overe here the door-close buttons work. I frequently use them. The idea of accumulated lifetime lost in elevators every day creeps me out.
Facebook Was Shut Off in China Today
They could have remained on if they had played by China’s rules and allowed the government to censor their content. But unlike Google and Yahoo and everybody else, Mark Zuckerberg refused to play by their rules and told them to go fuck themselves.
Hats off to you, Mark.
Wow. Facebook did something good. Nice job, Facebook.
Awesome. I wish Europe would imitate Mark’s behavior and tell the US to go fuck themselves about our private and biometric data.
