When Jared Lee Loughner allegedly pulled the trigger outside a Tucson Safeway Saturday morning, killing six people and injuring 14 others, is it possible that he thought he was dreaming?
Friends of the suspect Jared Lee Loughner, 22, describe him as being obsessed with dreaming.
A rambling series of videos posted on Loughner's apparent YouTube channel days before the shooting includes a rambling series of observations about dreams and dreaming.
"I am a sleepwalker -- who turns off the alarm clock," Loughner wrote in one video.
Watch "World News with Diane Sawyer" for more on this story tonight on ABC.
According to friends, Loughner was particularly interested in something called lucid dreaming, when people try to take control of their own dreams to manipulate them.

Why is the Left appearing to be doing everything they can to get this vermin off on a murder 1 charge?

It’s sickening how far the MSM is going to acquit Loughner of any blame.

Marijuana induced lucid dreaming?

If as the left claims, outside influences caused him to act then it's highly plausible that left wing California Hollywood is responsible for the shooting.
Leo!

We looked like idiots blaming Limbaugh, Beck and Palin. Quick, pile on some distracting new theories to hide the old ones.< /MSM mode>
Sorry, chumps. You were caught lying about Loughner when you didn't even know who he was but you "knew" exactly why he killed. You have nothing useful to say anymore.

I saw this report last night..they brought up Inception, so I guess the murders were really Leonardo Dicapro’s fault

"Why is the Left appearing to be doing everything they can to get this vermin off on a murder 1 charge?" Because there is no power or money to be had in the conservatives belief system that we are responsible for our own actions.
The left is being consistent in their belief system that there is no such thing as personal responsibility.
Programs ( large government), funding ( taxes) and restrictions of rights ( lawyers, ever expanding laws) are needed for their belief system while ours require none.

Strong weed can do this.
F Lee can get him off. F Lee has the proof OJ was in Omaha when his ex was killed.

So, I guess none of us are to blame for anything we do.
Liberalism is a mental disease. Period.

I would not be surprised if Loughner was inspired by those trippy Matrix movies

This is Carlos Castaneda, lucid dreaming garbage.
REALLY bad stuff. According to reports, he was immersed in it.

Dopers were heavily into the Castaneda crap when it first came out in the sixties — some scams live for generations.

I wonder if steroids were also in the mix. Look at the size of his head, and compare it with earlier photos.

yep, and what a horrible and boring movie. Hollywood should be held repsonsible for some of these kooks thinking.
That movie would not make me do anything except demand my money back, (if I had paid for it, a rental). We are all responsible for our actions, but some simply are not able to contain themselves due to drugs.
To: NoLibZone

Does this mean that we can refuse to pay taxes, speed, run red lights, and tear off that "Do Not Remove Under Penalty of Law" tag on the mattress, or does the dream defense just apply to mass murder?
