Hi -- i haven't heard anything about these guys --- but product ideas like the wearable CPAP are a dime a dozen. i wouldn't invest or put much hope in it unless they cleared the FDA process. will you post about this to the forum, or shall I?

Until the birth of Mary we were taught about original sin. Now Mary to be the Mother of the “Christ” was born of Immaculate Conception thus being born without original sin. This would be a evidence for argument that yes “The Creator reserves the option of breaking the natural laws of physics and matter that He created for us”.

Divine inspiration or divine dreaming is controlled by the creator and would not necessarily fall under normal biologic function.

One rule of thought is that the brain defragments like a hard drive while sleeping. This is REM sleep. Random images being deleted. Our Brain while awake records everything. During conversations with friends the brain records background noise and images. All of this is shuffled around and then during REM or the supposed defragmentation images deleted. Papers by crick and Mitcheson explore this idea during the 1980s and very early 90s.
If we keep a dream diary or try and recall dreams we just re-file what the brain has tried to dump. Another example would be maybe your 1st grade teacher. An old memory never recalled is being deleted years or decades later. You wake up and realize you just dreamed about someone you that were forgotten. The image is filed and the process will happen again.
Now as for Joseph that falls under another category. Divine inspiration or divine dreaming is controlled by the creator and would not necessarily fall under normal biologic function.

Yes, in my remembered dreams, it is almost always the case that I can relate the images back to something that recently happened or something I recently thought about. I assume there is nothing new in dreams - only old stuff being shuffled around and garbled up. This contradicts Joseph's experience.

That is interesting that you mention deleted images. Is the brain pulling images out of its "deleted folder" and playing around with them? Is there a "permanently deleted folder"? Could the "sand" that is in my eyes upon awakening be the remnants of the permanently deleted items? :)

Banyon,
God did design us to be logical. Thus the dreams that appear to be chaotic are actually field withimages that we know. By design our brains want order. What appears to be irrational dreaming is actually a collection of deleted images made into stories and events our brain can understand. Erg. The brain deletes images such as a cat, cup, and water. The frontal portion of the brain senses the images that are random and places them in an order which becomes rational yes disturbing.
We know we swing in water, cats swim and a cup holds water. So we end up with a cat swimming in our morning coffee.

Banyon,
That is a fascinating thought about dreaming. We have biblical references to dreaming and interpretations. Joseph interpreted dreams being given divine guidance by God. Does dreaming lead us closer to God or is it of God or by God? Who knows for sure?
We can through psychology decipher some dreaming revealing ones supposed nature. Great subject!

Hi Banyon,

You might consider putting the new Sleep Apnea "anthem"/ rallying cry, with whatever revisions you accept, into a new discussion thread. that way people can focus on it instead of the context in which it arose -- i think it merits its own thread. we can also then easily blast out an email to all members asking for action.

Hi Banyon,

Have you had a lateral head x-ray and/or i-cat of your airway done? And, do you have a profile shot of yourself that I can take a look at? I'm not a doctor, but I work for one who has helped a lot of OSA sufferers. I had no idea how widespread the problem was of how it impacted people's lives. I stumbled upon this site last night when I was catching up with some old friends on Facebook.

Anyway, in the course of my work for the doc, I met and interviewed many people who had their OSA issues resolved with orthodontics, surgery...or both. My client focuses primarily on the relationship between the mandible, maxilla, teeth and airway...with the ultimate goal of expanding the airway without causing and dental or TMJ problems.

I tried to post some of the videos I produced for him here last night, but could not get the uploader to cooperate with me. I'm going to try again today. In the meantime, if you want to take a look at his approach, you can visit www.facefocused.com. Click into the new web-site off of the home page and then go to OSA in the menu bar.

Let me know if you have a profile shot I can take a look at. I can probably tell from that if ortho might be an option for you to explore.

Thanks for responding.

Peter

HI BANYON,

Were you treated orthodontically and, if so, did you have any teeth removed?

Let me know
