The Wreck Of The Titan
- LETTURE 585
- Voti 5

In early April, a luxury ocean liner set off across the Atlantic. The boat didn't carry enough lifeboats to hold its 3,000-odd passengers, but that didn't matter since the liner was deemed to be "unsinkable." One fateful night, the liner struck an iceberg off the coast of Newfoundland, causing the boat to sink and most of its passengers to perish. No, this wasn't the sinking of the Titanic. It's the plot of the novella Futility, which was published in 1898, 14 years before the Titanic sank.

The Tragedy of Daniel Fortune 🔞
Follow along inside the lucid dream of a mortician Leonardo Ford, aka Daniel Fortune that lasts for 90+ years. This story is about the Extended Lucid Dream. A very real thing that has happened to people in the past, present and soon to be future. I have experienced this myself but definitely not as long as our main character did. It is a great story about Love, Fear, violence, tragedy, and the deep dive into mental illness that certain people have faced after experiencing these dreams. Read this book, the places he goes and the people he meets, feel the fear just as much as he would as you sit in the morgue with him. Feel the energy of the room and the people around you, are you really awake? If not, its time to wake up.Completa

My Story: R.M.S Titanic [Completed]
15 April 1912, 1:55 am: I watched as the greatest ship of all time start slipping beneath the ice cold waves of the Atlantic Ocean. I was holding on to a jacket that was given to me as I watched debris get thrown in to help those who couldn't get on a boat. The man that I fell into a deep romance, maybe even fell in love, with was sitting next to me on lifeboat number 5 as we watched the unsinkable ship slip into the bottom of the ocean. I felt my tears freezing up as I cried. How did this happen? How did the unsinkable ship sink?
