I remember reading some books for my course on philosophy. One great philosopher dedicated quite a lot of work to describing how it feels to die of suffocation in an avalanche. . . . referring of course to that whole sense of Nirvana that roughly equates to a street kid huffing on spray paint fumes while writing profound stuff on railroad cars in the railroad yard. . . .

I remember reading some books for my course on philosophy.

I have wondered about the possible connection of this "Nirvana" to those "Near Death Experiences", and some dreams, say, like the ones folks have when the carbon monoxide fumes start to build up in their homes.
Last night I dreamed lucidly of trying to find a town called "Oso" in Texas on a map, so I could plan another big loop around the West hitting all the places where I need to go. When I woke up I went to my map book and then remembered it was not "Oso" but McAllen I needed to go to.
My dream was so lucid I remember the maps I was looking at. I remembered seeing a lot of specific cities, but could not find "Oso". When I was awake, I went to index that had all the towns in Texas listed, even the ones with 5 people population, and there was no "Oso". Yes there was Ozona, one of my favorite towns, in my favorite county, Crockett County, but no "Oso".

You're into lucid dreaming? Cool! How far did you go? I always fly in my dreams whenever I figure out it's a dream. Nothing too pragmatic. Hehe.
Not a regular thing with me, and when it happens I open the doors and windows. Oxygen is my idea of a good thing.

Someone noticed some dudes with hats at the Boston Marathon Firecracker event. I don't know anything about it, but they said they had the Navy Seal hats and T-shirts on, and there were a bunch of them on the scene moments before the Boston Maraton Firecracker "explosion". There were about twenty, and they were all carrying some standard pack of something. . . . They were walking around looking at everyone, forming a cordon around the spot where the "blast" was about to happen. . . .
In my first few minutes of watching videos online, put out by a recruiter office for the SEALS, there was brag about the mission including anti-terrorism assignments. . . . so there is a unit or two that does training mock-ups of a terrorism "event". . . . .
The question, then, would become the issue of how to recognize genuine SEALS vs. the obvious conspiratorial possibilities such as movie actors imitating them, or any number of other remote possibilities, including say a college track team dressed up to look like SEALS while performing routine event security/crowd management for a marathon event finish line sitch. Or, say, a local chess club having an outing for a lark, wanting to look cool. . . .
So here's a promotional video showing real SEALS with their black hats with the white emblem above the visor. . . .

This is a real SEAL recruitment video, showing the cap pretty good at 2:35 near the end, or within a few seconds of that. . . .
