It's very seldom that I am able to really control or manipulate my dream, especially the others in it, but sometimes I've tried, or I've decided to do something weird, just because I knew that I was dreaming, and nothing could happen. Sometimes this feeling that I'm manipulating the dream was first and made me think that I was dreaming.<br /><br />Good luck with the experiment, David!<br /><br />Best wishes,<br />Jana<br />Jananoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9036104775563265647.post-16339692612131665852012-11-29T09:01:09.716+00:002012-11-29T09:01:09.716+00:00Hello Jana,
That's the thing about that sc...Hello Jana,<br /><br /> That's the thing about that scene in 'A B and C' nothing is conclusive about it. One can only theorise about it, and in that lies the fun of the matter.<br /><br /> Dreams, I've had dreams that seem to go on and on, or seem to, and in some very strange places and circumstances. Dreams about working for a company which I used to work for but which no longer exists. Very wierd dreams, which when you wake up, if you remember the dream, you ask yourself whatever made me dream that?! But to control or manipulate my dreams, I do not think I've been able to do that. Oh yes, in the past Portmeirion had a strong hold over me, and I sometimes went to bed and prepared myself to dream of going to Portmeirion....I never managed to do it!<br /><br />Best regards<br />David<br />BCNU David Stimpsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15196038086564981619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9036104775563265647.post-28566915082757781162012-11-29T08:42:30.477+00:002012-11-29T08:42:30.477+00:00Hello Anna,

As far as I know I've never been able to do this.<br /> Indeed what it would be to be able to fly. I feel an experiment coming on the next time I find myself dreaming.<br /><br />Best regards<br />David<br />BCNUDavid Stimpsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15196038086564981619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9036104775563265647.post-77319043966271445332012-11-28T20:37:14.769+00:002012-11-28T20:37:14.769+00:00Hello David and Jana,

I thought maybe he wanted them to think that he drank his nightcup at the sink and then took a glass of water after it, but you could be right, taking into account the time that he needed to collapse after his first nightcups. Again a very well put scene where it is up to the viewer to decide whatever he wants to think.<br /><br />As for the possibility to control ones own dreams while one is asleep, that's possible, sometimes. I'm not quite sure to which extend, but I've read that there are people who really practice it, to be aware that they dream and control it. It's called lucend dreaming. <br /><br />Maybe in a way that's what the Dreamers do, too?<br /><br />Kind regards,<br />Jana<br />BCNUJananoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9036104775563265647.post-11429555211851201872012-11-28T08:53:53.136+00:002012-11-28T08:53:53.136+00:00Hi Jana,

He walks back to the bedroom and collapses on the floor, unconscious I presume. Again I presume that whoever collects the body of No.6 would have seen the glass and spilled water soaked into the carpet, or at least examined the teacup on the draining board of the sink, just as the doctor does the night they took No.6 away in 'The Schizoid Man.'<br /> Aha! The nightcap. When No.6 is drugged the second time, the drug works so quickly that No.6 drops the cup and saucer, spilling the remains of the hot chocolate onto the carpet. Seconds later No.6 is lying collaped on the floor. It's the same way the third time, save for it's a glass of water, and not a cup of hot chocolate! Those who come to take No.6 away in the night, would have seen that there was no spilled chocolate on the floor as there was the second time. And if the tap water was not drugged, then they would know that No.6 had not drunk the drugged night cap. However if the tap water is drugged, then it doesn't matter, as it's relatively the same.<br /><br /> For many years there has been the question amongst fans of 'the Prisoner,' was the tap water drugged or not? Is No.6 really unconscious or not? The answer is we simply don't know. It's all a question of how on interprets the scene, and what you believe.<br /><br /> The fact of the matter is, No.6 breaks into the laboratory, and during that time he actually dilutes the third dose of the wonder drug. <br />So when he receives the third dose, he was probably semi-conscious, and therefore able to manipulate his own dream to a certain extent.<br /><br /> And there is another question. When one is asleep, can one really manipulate one's dreams?<br /><br />Kind regards<br />David<br />Be seeing youDavid Stimpsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15196038086564981619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9036104775563265647.post-2193550671931442162012-11-27T09:55:50.825+00:002012-11-27T09:55:50.825+00:00Hi David,

Because all we see is a man who pours his poisoned tea, drinks some water and then turns away and stumbles and breaks down like a good actor. So he might really have been simulating his sedation. But then again, what about his collapse when he recieves the third dose of the wonder drug? Could he really have remained concious after that breakdown?<br /><br />Kind regards,<br />Jana<br />Be seeing youJananoreply@blogger.com
