If someone has amnesia, then how come he or she remembers the words of the language and can speak?

And is it true that if an amnesiac is traumatized by the same situation through which he/she lost their memory (an accident or a banf for instance), he/she can get it back?

I keep having this weird dream in wich I'm walking down an empty street, I see one person in the distance walking towards me, when he's close enough I recognize he's Jhonny Depp (and I don't even like Jhonny Depp, so is not like I'm obssesed with him or anything) and he tells me: make a dinner for seven people, then he walks away.

I've been having this exact same dream for about 5 times this month, sometimes in colour sometimes in b&w, but same scenario, same dialogue... and same Jhonny Depp.

what do you think this could mean?
many thanks in advance

My family and i went on a canoeing and camping trip. We were pushing the canoes into the water when we found a Humerus and Scapula. The humerus is about a foot long. and the scapula is relative size. I want to find out if they belong to a certian animal or...a human. I took the bones to my anatomy and physiology teacher and he says they look like a small childs but he isnt sure.

I dont want to run to the police and be like "OMG ITS A DEAD HUMAN LOOK!" So how can or where can i go to get it identified. When found them in columbus, IN. on the bank of the blue river. Near Fort Autterbury.

What are the names (position) of people (and scientists) that are hired on and by companies to study the buying habits of others to improve sales? And what classes do you need to take in college to recieve those? In 9th grade we had a class that showed us all the ways companies use to get you to buy a product, such as bandwagon, sex, etc. is this sales and advertising? You know like the proactive commercials and how they use key phrases like "you ARE beautiful underneath your acne" thats a researched phrase to play into the psyche of the consumer and get them to buy their product.

I'm not 100% sure about this, because I don't always remember every instance and haven't really been recording anything, so I can't say that this pattern is followed perfectly all the time. But anyhow, I've got this vauge idea that my dreams are affected by how my head is resting on the pillow when I sleep. If I sleep with the back of my head resting on my pillow I often have very vivid and strange dreams. If I sleep with the left side of my head on the pillow I sometimes have nightmares. But if I sleep with the right side on the pillow I rarely remember my dreams, and if I do they're nothing special. I usually sleep with the right side on the pillow, and so have noticed these differences from time to time - not something perfectly predictable (it also seems to depend on the pressure on the area in question). Is this something other people experience? Is it possible? Just want to get some expert knowledge whether is a typical phenomenon or whether I'm just imagining things.

i was flying without wings in the sky but when I swooped down to pick up my daughter she was too heavy and I would have to put her down to start flying again. I would continous try to build my strength but I would never be able to carry her.

I am a sole provider parent of a 3 year old if that helps.

If yes, what has contributed to this?

If no, what went wrong? What would you have done to change the outcome?

Thank you, and have a nice day. :)

they think or know they have competition from other females. do women secretly desire the idea that they could lose their man and does this make me so much more valuable?

Maybe because blue is more relaxing, it helps you sleep better, where red is an energy color and looking at it while trying to fall asleep would be a bit harder, and because orange is a happy color maybe it would effect your dreams? I'm not crazy, I was just thinking of the possibility. My sheets are beige and I know that it's been making me feel more relaxed than when I had black sheets. Maybe.

Why do they have this huge, white, modernly architectural design for some guy to walk around it and tell you that you should take this pill for heart disease or whatever? Why does it have to be a big weird building? I don't get the advertisement psychology in there.

I'd really appreciate if you could find a webpage where something like this may have been documented.
