Weird dreams you've had

Mister D Nomms:
For the first time ever a few weeks ago, I had a dream where I could punch bad guys and actually hurt them. Usually I either can't hit them or I'm so weak that my blows do nothing. I think it's because I recently made a mele character in Fallout 3.

Barmymoo:
Dreams are so weird. I know we mostly dream of stuff we know, which is why people start dreaming about things they've just started doing, but I know I dream about stuff I've never done. My favourite dream, which I haven't had for years now, is of flying - and even that is kind of like swimming in the air. It always seems to be set in the house I lived in as a child as well.

Akima: Western-style boxing, as you call it, is obviously more free-form than any martial art. That is true for both the actual technique and performance of movements as well as the surrounding.. ceremonial stuff. There are rules of conduct in a boxing gym, but I would imagine that they're not as strict as for, say, karate or tajiquan (I only quickly looked it up on wiki). You don't have to speak to your coach with honorary titles or anything and you don't have to greet your opponent prior to sparring, though most people will anyway. But concerning the punching technique and defense strategies I would say boxing is at least equal to any martial art. It requires intense training and concentration. For most people the first step is overcoming the fear of stepping inside the ring with an opponent. The next step, however, is overcoming your ego and your anger. There's no use in just thinking about beating the other guy up if he's at least as skilled as you. The one with the coolest head will win. The less emotion you show the more unpredictable you get, so you have to control your feelings and try to manipulate the other to make a mistake. At least in my opinion it's as much mental training as physical.

I admit there are people who give boxing a bad rep, but the same can be said for rugby or basketball. I have never seen anybody so prone to violence as an average football-fan.  :mrgreen:

I dunno why I'm defending myself like this... Barmymoo, we cool?

Barmymoo:
Sure, I have no problem with either you or boxing :) Just didn't want there to be a disagreement over what sounded like a misunderstanding. I've considered boxing myself, but I don't have time at the moment.

This is also how I fly in dreams.  I have talked about it with other people and they all told me that was weird, that they "just fly" in their dreams.  I figured it was evidence that even in the depths of my subconscious mind things needed to me logical. I mean, come on, you just "just fly" you need to propel and steer yourself some how...
