| >consult guide about fluff Fluff is interesting stuff: a deadly poison on Bodega Minor, the diet staple of Frazelon V, the unit of currency on the moons of the Blurfoid system, and the major crop of the laundry supplies planet, Blastus III.

| We practice various meditations during dream states. The potential of such practices is that at a certain level it is possible to separate the gross levels of consciousness from the gross physical state, and arrive at a subtler level of mind and body. You could, for example, separate your mind from your body during sleep and do some extra work that you cannot do in your ordinary body. However, you might not get paid for it! |
