How complex or "good" is music you hear in your dreams, and how skilled are you with music? I wonder how strong the correlation is.

i have found myself a precognitive genius in my dreams

>>1638I don't play any instruments, but I've dreamed complete songs with a verse/chorus structure, creative key changes, and lyrics I could remember when I woke up. The melodies are usually pretty straightforward, but very atmospheric. Makes me wish I knew music notation to write them down.
It happens more often when I've been listening to music a lot, but there seems to be no correlation between the style of the dream songs and the music I listened to.
No.1642
>>1638As a complete non-musician, I can't recall ever having heard music in my dreams before at all (and that's despite often having had quite vivid dreams), and searching through my old dream log with >500 recorded doesn't look to return any results either. I could imagine myself having had a dream involving an instrument, or where there was a band in it or something like that, but even if I have I don't expect there was any proper music as such beyond maybe a brief moment of focus on that aspect. All that being said though, there have been a few times that I have woken up with a song stuck in my head (particularly one I had listened to before going to sleep) and had the impression that my preceding dream had in some way been inspired by the song, but still not in the sense of my dream self having actually heard it as such.
No.1643
>>1641I think this has nothing to do with whether you can play instruments, more likely it's the ability to playback and create music in your head.
I can always improvise new songs with full arrangement in my head but I think the ones from when fully or half asleep are more creative than anything created awake

It's incredibly strange to think that germ theory wasn't thought up until the mid 1800s. Obviously people understood that illnesses could pass between people and things like that, but it just seems strange that concepts like sanitation just... didn't exist, outside of the obvious things like a natural desire not to be covered in dirt and grime.

I get irrationally emotional about ridiculous things, it seems to come in waves as well. I think it has something to do with my OCD which is heavily effected by emotion and how I am feeling so if I am in a bad mood something ridiculous gets me emotional and that starts a negative feedback loop.
But today that ridiculous thing was Youtube videos where people say that Avatar the Last Airbender is well written or does x the best. It gets me incredibly angry for some reason and I feel they are wrong and that somebody needs to say they are wrong and I need to make a lengthy post in the comment section and then I feel that would not be enough so I would have to reply to other peoples posts that agree with him and say they are wrong but then they were made years ago and I think it's silly to bother people who made those posts years ago and it would not even do anything and I don't know why I care so much anyway people can like what they like.
It's frustrating.

Personally I find it sad. Otaku culture used to be more grassroots, doujin franchises like Touhou or R07's works tended to occupy a more prominent place... but nowadays the popularity of corporate gacha and vtubers eclipse everything else.

>>1684eating disorders go beyond habbit and are often coping mechanisms for trauma. So someone will say they want to diet because they have a bad body image, but when they start to diet they lose their coping mechanism for dealing with the stress of having a bad body image.

"Oh, you think this infantile thing is for kids? Well here are some inappropriate moments or hidden references in it to prove its maturity, I'm not missing the point here about it having no depth or thought at all guys, IT'S NOT FOR KIDS GUYS EVEN IF THE CREATORS SAID IT IS!!!!!!!!!"
No.1717
>>1710I wish criticizing something as being "for kids" wasn't synonymous with lack of depth or thought. It conflates criticism of the context of the experience with criticism of its quality which misses the point, and it sucks that things aimed at kids are expected to be lower quality. They deserve better. Maybe I'm just being semantic.

>>1717I think it's a sign of overall ageism, which is a really big problem in the West, especially in the English speaking world. We think of kids as braindead retards, confusing ignorance and immaturity for idiocy, and our children's media reflects that.

It doesn't matter, children dont want to watch age appropiate stuff
No.1821
>>1802I think part of it is because many of those shows are aired on state broadcasting channels and many are also funded in part by government organisations. So they have that Government media feeling. As opposed to anime which starts as a Manga written by an individual and published in a magazine as a commercial product and is then made into an anime that is also a commercial product.
I think some western cartoons do this too, like the comic book hero ones.

>>1862My gut instinct is different species in the same genus, but it's kind of hard to say. Part of what confuses things is that they reproduce asexually, but in a way that, to my knowledge, no species on earth does, so a lot of the typical distinctions people use don't really apply.

I wonder how much of the matter that is "me" is still part of my body. I think I've heard people like Vsauce say that every cell in your body will have been replaced after 7 years, but that can't be right. Like, what about my bones or teeth? What about heart cells which thselves don't have enough time to regrow? What about brain cells with the whole "blood-brain barrier" thing? Maybe in terms of the total count of cells after 7 years, more than every cell has been replaced because of skin cell replication outpacing other stuff, but not every cell has literally been replaced? Weird to think about.
No.2036
>>2035Multicellular organisms are all a ship of theseus. It's true, a majority of your cells last several years at most, but that's not particularly relevant. You shouldn't think of cells as indepedent, when they mostly can't survive if they're separated from the whole. The being remains itself through the continuity of the system, not of its parts.
If you want to get technical, everything that undergoes any form of change is different from what it was seconds ago, even a rock whose particles gradually shift into a different composition and ultimately end up as something else entirely. But it doesn't really matter, the question of an essential you is founded on the prior assumption of the existence of a static and unchanging soul. If you believe in a transcendental essence then you've always been you and will always be, if you don't believe in it then there's simply no essence to begin with.
