  • Do you have dream paralysis? That’s what I think I have.

    Whatever the dream is, and there are a variety of situations, but I’m ‘stuck’. I’m dreaming but I can’t move.

    I strain to get free and move but can’t break free.

    At the end of the dream I wake up, usually wrapped up in bedsheets and physically aching from trying to unbind myself.

    As an example, I had a dream where I was on a reality TV show. The point was to get from point A to point B. I was really struggling to crawl to point B. Then I saw my body on the floor being attended to by an EMT. Seeing my body with the EMT triggered something and I woke up as I was physically stepping out of the bed in real life.















  • AOL - ISP. Not sure order of operations here… I was also on Mozilla/Netscape (1991/92-?)

    Bulletin Board Channels: There was at least one gay one in San Diego (ca. 1992-1995). We would chat and post online, then once a month, meet at a gay bar with name tags with our handles.

    IRC - fun chat site (at least into 1997 for me)

    LISTSERV - this was less useful for me. signing up for ‘reading lists’ or ‘subscriptions’ to ‘butterflies’ ‘sourdough’, etc. (I honestly do not recall the groups I signed on to) when no one really seemed to be there (1992-94?) though I didn’t move with the hip crowd
