That's just the bedtime story I needed to hear. norinrad21, I'm going to go to sleep and try to lucid dream about the whole thing. If it's cool, I'll post about it. If it's not, I can at least offer
www.lucidity.com as a reference for techniques on how to have your own lucid dreams.
Why is this relevant to my dreams or dreaming in general? Well, in my case, I'm from a farming community in Texas. There is no way I'd ever hear of any such thing in my area community. Sure, there's the odd story of a guy in town who made his bucks at the local airport smuggling whatever it is that people smuggle in private planes. There's even fanciful tales of wife swapping, but to hear anything close to this: I had to go, gasp, away from home and off to college. From a professor of mine, I learned how some mafia came in waxed the whole family of Texas' official in charge of issuing permits for pari-mutuel betting and gambling. Mob bosses and other crime families applied in every way possible to get betting and casinos in Texas, but the official wouldn't budge. The crime scene where he and his family lie shot to death was pronounced as a murder/suicide by whatever local yokel of the hill country. It really even looked that thats what might have happened. The only contention is that a deputy noticed that the carpet was vacuumed
after everyone in the house was dead. No footprints, not fingerprints, no sign of forced entry....just that the BoogyMan came in and tidied up a bit, post mortem.
Tell me that wasn't some mafia charter bent on getting revenge for non-issue of gambling permits.
Ahh, that's better.
Goodnight.
