I haven't... actually haven't read any Star Wars literature before, even knowing there is a lot of it. Unless "Shadows of the Empire" counts, and I'm not sure it does.

I still like "TR-8R" better. "Nines" sounds like a nickname you give to a bowler who can't quite get strikes.

It does. One of the few things that's set between Episode V and VI, in fact.

Yeah, they came out with that book before they realized that TR-8R would become a meme.

Some American Pizza news lads:

I was meditating this morning, and I don't know about anyone else, but towards the end my mind tends to drift and wonder and go places without any thought, and at almost the very end I had a brief...vision? I was staring down at a book, a book of wisdom, and all the words were blurry except for one passage: People who don't sleep don't work hard.

It's interesting because we perceive hard workers as people who sleep less and work more, but maybe it alludes to people not being their best without enough sleep? I talked about it with my mom, and she thought maybe it was more about people who are so successful that they don't have to work hard anymore and can sleep whenever...like people who are making money while they're sleeping.

My mind has drifted often, but this is the first time I've ever experienced something so specific. It'll be interesting to ponder this.

Merry Christmas to all, I hope you have some Happy Holidays and a joyful new year.

Four years ago I had a premonition and to this day I am yet to determine its meaning. Be glad your vision wasn't cryptic.

Sounds fascinating! I'd be interested to hear more about your experience.

It's been so long I don't remember where I was but the message is what stuck in my head. In the dream I was told I would stand in a library of forbidden knowledge and imprison The Sheep of Mercy. When I woke up I felt overwhelmed somehow, as if I had a responsibility given to me that was far greater than I could comprehend.

For the life of me I can't find any reference to this Sheep of Mercy. I haven't stood in any library of knowledge (forbidden or otherwise) so whenever this is supposed to happen I haven't the slightest clue but I have to know what it means. I've felt compelled to determine its meaning ever since.

That's absolutely fascinating. I can't say I've ever had an experience like that one.

Maybe the whole thing is symbolic...maybe it doesn't mean a literal library or sheep, but something they symbolize. The Sheep of Mercy almost sounds like something religious...sheep have a role in many religions to one extent or another...for example, Christians being a flock with Christ as the Good Shepherd. Why you would want to imprison a symbol of mercy though...I draw a blank on that one.

Yeah the idea that it was literal was dismissed quickly because it would be absurd. Christianity was the first place I searched for a reference, to no avail. On top of that there's no reference to the exact phrase anywhere. Of course the meaning of many words have differed throughout history and acrossed other cultures too.

I don't know, maybe you end up having a dispute with a sheep farmer that results in you stealing and imprisoning his prize sheep who happens to be named Mercy. Not so absurd!

Perhaps someone who is better versed in religious texts and customs would be more helpful than I could be...it's just not an area I've delved in much. My feeling is that it's something along those lines, though.
