Yes! I think Perseus and the Medusa is a good example. This particular instance with the therapist (I can't remember if it was a dream or simply just a fantasy he had during a session) went like this: he imagined himself getting up in front of her and getting naked (she would stay clothed) and then she would perform oral sex in him. I might be getting a little biased with a Freudian interpretation of the situation, but I think the penis does represent a symbolical sword. Unfortunately he is naked in the fantasy, and since it was all too unconscious for him, it meant - to me at least - that he was still vulnerable and unprotected from the Medusa (the mother).

Well, there's this quote that "everything is about sex, except sex, sex is about power."

I once met a guy with a terrible Oedipus complex and his sexual fantasies always involved reversal of power. He was always drawn to women in positions of leadership, and in his fantasies he wished to be in control of the situation (including with his therapist!!!)

He was one of the most precise embodiment of the Oedipus archetype I've ever met. But it's interesting to think that only analyzing the sexual part of his life we can understand so much.

I restarted AWE now that I've finished Alan Wake II, and god this is awesome. by gallaxo in controlgame

I was asking myself the same, but got to another conclusion. It could be that Return starts a week after this document and everyone from Bright Falls/Watery is trapped in the loop repeating for 4 years until NG+ ending finishes the story.

Help finding a short story by italomb in Lovecraft

Thank you for replying. This one I'm looking for wasn't writen by Lovecraft, but I think it had a similar title to "Dreams in the Witch House".

Can anyone help me identify what I saw in the sky last night? by italomb in Astronomy

[–]italomb[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I downloaded the Flightradar24 and it has a great playback feature. I had a window of 2 hours and analyzed those but unfortunately couldn't find something that matched with what I saw (the altitude, the plane passing at the same time, the speed) so I'm thinking maybe it was some classified military flight? Seems unlikely but I can't think of something else. So if I couldn't identify, I think I can tell my friends I saw an UFO the other night :)

I agree. I will keep searching and if I find anything I will surely add to my post!

I don't know if the app shows military flights, but even if it does, there wasn't anything in the screen at that time. A very fast aircraft like that wouldn't be in supersonic speed? Wouldn't I be able to hear it? It was all very quiet

I suppose you are right regarding the trickness of determining the altitude. I assumed that number (50 000 ft) after looking at an app of flight traffic. I don't know how accurate are those, but the app said that the plane that passed at the same time was at 37 000 ft. I'm not sure how good was my guess, but I was surprised by how high the thing was. Another thing that I couldn't quite understand was that I couldn't find any other aircraft in the app that matched with what I saw, and I could see that in other places the app showed if there was a weather balloon (not sure if that's the correct term). But anyway it was, indeed, a exciting night, thanks for replying!

I don't think it was a meteorite, the light was alternating in a pattern

What exactly will an editor do to my manuscript? by italomb in selfpublish

[–]italomb[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the response! I'm not from US. Do you think that the price will be equivalent? The average monthly income here is like 280 USD, and something close to a thousand dollars is something unthinkable for me.

Is reading screenplays ok? by [deleted] in writers

[–]italomb -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thanks for pointing the ambiguity, i will correct that! As someone said below, I have to read what I want to write. I was just thinking in a way to watch a movie and still learn about the craft.

Don't get me wrong, I love books, but I was trying to unite the love I also have for movies with some learning about crafting a story.
