Convenience Ad - Eclipse Dream Remover

Here is another dream advertisement. I'm going to go ahead and categorize it as both an advertisement and a renegade convenience.In dream work, there is (of course) the possibility of a placebo effect, and I cannot categorically claim that this paste did not work for someone, somewhere.Other convenience scholars agree, although some convenience practitioners believe we are being unnecessarily pedantic in bestowing any kind of legitimacy to products such as the No 1 "Eclipse" Dream Remover.Pedantic or not, here it is.

Convenience Ad 10 - Unsatisfactory Dreams Can Be Cured

This advertisement shows the inevitable: the business was commercialized.The advertisement borders on the renegade as not all sanitariums and hospitals can offer legitimately helpful treatment.It also makes the rather large statement that unsatisfactory dreams can be prevented.As Convenience practitioners have experienced throughout the centuries, this is not often true. Nor can unsatisfactory dreams always be cured.Nevertheless, the advertisement does make the potential client aware that institutional help is available.Choosing the appropriate institution is of paramount importance.

[Renegade] Convenience 75 - Three Strong Points

I wouldn't feel honest if I did not reveal that renegade conveniences do exist. It would be lovely to say that all those who generate and use the conveniences have been honest and sincere people.Alas, this has not been the case.Who knows why some people are less than sincere and forthright. Money? Fame?I'll be showing some of these renegade conveniences now and then, starting today.Today's convenience may appear to be somewhat borderline renegade. After all, it is claiming very nice attributes for those who use conveniences: Useful, Novel, and Ideal.It is definitely arguable that those who use the conveniences are artists, so there's no obvious problem with that term.The problem exists with the attributes. There is nothing wrong with being useful, of course.But novel? Is there really such an attribute, or does that claim border on arrogance? Is Ecclesiastes 1:9 correct when it tells us that "there is nothing new under the sun?"And ideal? Can anything or anyone really claim to be ideal?You should know that this convenience was actually accepted by some scholars for many years. But then scholarship fashions changed, as they do, and most convenience intellectuals came to believe that the words novel and ideal were too far-reaching.
