Human beings are such small creatures, aren't they?

About Me
- Butch
- I'm a married gentleman of thirty-eight years in the Pacific North West state of Washington. My professions have been in medicine as a Naprapathic physician, music performance as a principal operatic tenor and teaching applied music voice at the university level and privately along with private instrumental instruction. Since retirement from medicine, I began composing and arranging music in the Celtic-American Folk genre and did performance in Irish Celtic Music and American Folk music of which I have recently retired due to my health. My interests are eclectic and I enjoy meeting people and making friends. The musical group I was in when we were performing was Mooney Woods and Nogle and we made two CDs. The most recent released was in December of 2010.

What a fun journey! Though I could see some days where this experience might be terrifying. Not sure why I say that, but it is a feeling I have.
Luckily, today it was just fun.
Patrick: I know what you mean. One could think of it as a bad dream and when will the pictures stop becoming yet another part of another one. I guess that is what I liked about this set.
I recall as a child watching this same situation, but in reverse. It ended with a molecule going into an atom and its parts. My mind told me at the time, that it probably didn't stop with the parts of the atom and would continue into infinity, but does it ever stop? I guess that type of thinking is the fodder of nightmares.
Glad today was a fun experience for you.
It doesn't get really scary til you get into a continually and geometrically expanding nothingness in deep space... I had a couple of night terrors, probably sleep apnea, along those lines in my youth. I took it as a warning, oddly enough, to back off my preoccupation with religion.
I like the retro comic book look in the drawings.
Jeaux: The last few pictures of "nothingness" go beyond what our minds can comprehend. It reminds me of looking out over the ocean to the horizon and reflecting upon how our ancestors thought the earth stopped there. Without the knowledge of what lies beyond is always a scary thought and dreams have a way of making them seem even worse.
You may have hit upon something regarding sleep apnea. I have sleep apnea and I know I do not have bad dreams when I use my C-PAP machine whilst sleeping, but when I don't use it, I seem to have occasional nightmares. I used to blame it on rich foods but now that you've mentioned the apnea in connection with your nightmares, they more likely, may have something to do with it.
This set of pictures was sent to me via email from a good friend. I apologize for not having the artist's name who drew this collection. It wasn't attached with the pictures.
Didn't Birdie post a video clip that played with this idea last year? Still, it's fascinating and worth revisiting.
The terror? I think it's a sort of anti-claustrophobia. Something along the line of MyGodI'mASpeck-ophobia.
These remind me of the Tin-Tin cartoons. Beautiful art. What's the source?
Greg: I don't recall if she did. I think I've read her blog only a few times. ( It's not because I dislike her or her blog but, I never seem to remember to go visit. )
I wish I could give the artist's name. It unfortunately, wasn't passed along with the beautiful art work. Someone deserves credit for this. The idea can be viewed as nightmarish (is that a word?)or something one could see continuing ad infinitum and wondering where it would all end. I can see Patrick's and Jeaux's viewpoints regarding this thought.
The thought of agoraphobia could be another way of looking at it.
that was cute...reminds me of books I would read in grade school
Wonder Man: I like the art work as well, especially with the bright colours. The idea is clever not knowing where it's going to go next.
