I've jumped on the opportunity to make this iteration myself as I'd like to also use it as a thread to discuss the future of pornographic content on Wizchan. There's been a lot of debate over the years from both users and staff concerning just how appropriate porn is at all on a website for celibates. There's always been a big divide between pro and anti-hentai users and a some of you have even gone on to demand radical changes, threatening legal action of some sort. The "Ban 3DPD entirely poll" won by just one vote after all. I think everyone's opinions should be considered, but remember that this isn't a real democracy so even if 300 "unique" users vote to change the Wizchan logo to a giant dragon penis, it's not going to happen.

Yeah, a little over 6 years ago. It was opened by one of the aforementioned users identifiable by their distinct taste in fetish porn. He drove the fap thread to the bump limit and then made a new one with bara furry gape because he was upset that users in the previous thread were complaining about him posting sweaty zebra assholes. It was a single isolated instance by someone who would go on to be banned a dozen more times. It was the same guy who did the same to the crawl thread to post his Sonic erotica. Hardly an indicator of these thread being vulnerable to abuse given that it was one guy and swiftly rectified.

There are about 70x as many posts on r9k than there are on Wizchan. Do people on r9k simply not know about Wizchan? Are they too built into the habit of using 4chan to make the switch?
And its not how old a board is, either. 7chan has existed since 2006 (I'm pretty sure), and it's /b/ board has only 815,000 posts, while 4chan's /s4s/ board, which has only existed since 2013, and has amassed 10,000,000 posts.
How has 4chan, the most poorly moderated, poorly designed imageboard (except maybe endchan) held onto that many users?

Do they know if there is a way to develop lucid dreaming or to remember your dreams more often?

Having a different world inside your mind every time you dream sounds interesting.

The only aspect of this process I figured out is related to regular dreaming. Sleeping on your back if you don't usually do so causes slightly lighter sleep that seems to increase the vivid quality. Going to sleep again multiple times right after waking up can blend dreams and daydreaming in a way you don't know is happening which adds a sense of control.

Sometimes, at random points of the day, memories of past dreams from any point in my life will pop up. Vague reconciliation of places, feelings, and people I've encountered in my sleep. Unsubstantial experiences, not worth more than a quick thought after I've just woken up from them, but still popping in to my imagination to this day.

Given this, I think all or most of our dreams are remembered quite vividly, but we just can't always recall these memories at will. Our brain orchestrated these experiences from scratch after all, so it's a given that they're down there in one form or another. When we remember things we've seen IRL while awake, we may actually just have a vague idea of what we saw, and then fill in the gaps with our imaginations. But with dreams, everything was drawn out frame by frame by us, for us, so to remember it is like remembering a piece of art you've made. You don't just remember the general contents of it, but the exact directions of the brushstrokes and the paints you've mixed.

>>304145
>Do they know if there is a way to develop lucid dreaming
There are some proven scientific ways, and it all boils down to giving your brain what it needs to stay active during sleep, and nothing to focus attention on besides dreaming. Near hallucinogenic effects can be achieved simply by fasting entirely, drinking only water, while also exerting your body throughout the day. The absolute exhaustion puts in you a deep sleep, while having a totally empty digestive system puts it in to a stasis, meaning your brain doesn't have to put effort in to moving muscles and releasing excretions necessary to process food. The conversion of muscle tissue in to usable energy also releases neurostimulants in to the blood.

This method has been practiced for a thousand years by tribal Americans to give "spirit journeys". Out-of-body experiences with multiple perceivable consciousnesses. The neurostimulants mentioned above can be released by ingesting certain amino acids such as taurine, arginine, and glycine. Combined they make creatine which is a necessary building block for muscle development. When the muscles don't have enough nutrition to grow but are exerted anyway, this creatine has no protein to fuse so it floats away in the bloodstream and up to the brain, where it acts as a nootropic by strengthening sPost too long.

i tried this in 2016

i set a bunch of alarms. the trick is for the alarm to wake you from sleep, and be in a state of semisleep, and to remain mentally awake as your body returns to sleep

it is simple enough, but still hard. also once you are lucid dreaming, and you realize you're lucid dreaming, it's very easy to get overexcited and awaken fully

some of my noteworthy memories about lucid dreaming were taking photos of a village in a valley, exploring shrine/temple grounds on a shallow lakebed, opening a door without getting out of the way and having the door go through me, light switches not working, text on paper and books and so on being nonsense fake letters and changing everytime i turn around, and most disappointingly not being able to fly or do anything crazy like noclipping through the dream

if you're doing this, you need an alarm that turns itself off. you can also just play like a song that is silent but after 2 hours or so it has a beeping tone or whatever for a moment, that also works. there is a specific time that works best to wake up after sleeping, i forgot when it is

it is really a matter of just having your sleep interrupted, and then retaining consciousness as your body goes to sleep

there were other methods like constant awareness and waking up within the dream, not in real life, and so on, but i had no luck with those

So what happens when you start doing dream checks but you don't become lucid?
I gave up on it because I would do various reality checks: count fingers on hand, look at clocks, consistency of lines of texts but all that would happen is my subconscious would go "huh that's strange" and move on.

Yeah, just download the whole /src/ folder, run it through the batch resizer and compressor, saving as the same filenames and format, then reimport in to the /thumb/ folder. No renaming necessary because thumbs and images share the same timestamp filename.

General Question: does just reading 4chan for longer than 10-15 minutes make anyone feel awful and almost as if placed into a trance state? I can browse other sites for long periods of time without any ill effects, but if I stay too long on 4chan I begin to feel decidedly sick. Why does this happen?
