Research shows that the majority of dreams that people have are negative/distressful in nature, and a significant percentage can be considered nightmares. I was wondering people's thoughts on why this might be? Why do our subconcious minds seem to be full of creepy crawly things, and what is the purpose of rehashing these things constantly at night?

By the way, please don't reply saying that you don't have bad dreams, I am talking in general terms here, and most people don't remember most of their dreams anyway.

For instance, I want to understand why the UK pound is so strong against the US dollar when the USA have a stronger economy (if this is still the case). Obviously the situation is extremely complex but if I could atleasy get an idea. Cheers

I called one of my mates the day and she was crying about some guy who was apparantly her best mate even though I had never heard her mention him who OD'd at the weekend and died.

She is of to the funeral 2moro.

She also went to the funeral of the girlfriend of her sisters ex husband whom she hated when she died.

Do some people just thrive on this type of thing?

Is it just me or do you think you should only attend funerals of people you were close to and loved, not turn up at every one like its an open event!

When I think, it seems most things have a name or word attached to it within my mind--- or at least a description of some sorts, composed of words. Yet people who do not have hearing or speech --or babies pre-speech-- clearly have thoughts. And many animals are capable of quite complex thinking and planning, without words.
I cannot imagine how I'd think without words.

does this sound right?
i mean, is it true?
"Fair trade relates to the Open Door Policy because the Open Door Policy allowed foreign countries to have fair trading rights with China. That does not mean that the farmers/workers in China were fairly paid."

I've been smoking since Sunday. A lot on sunday, and a little bit every day since, including this morning. Now I've had a work filled week (which I think tends to make me antisocial, but not sure if its the work or the weed). Another thing, I don't feel like doing shiit after lunch at work (once again don't know wether to blame it on the weed). Summary of feelings right now: antisocial (like I don't really feel like calling nobody, I also don't feel real nice and loving and shiit, I wish I did), lazy. Smokers' opinions and insights are valued. Maybe its just pointing out something I need to work on (socialness), or maybe I don't have to do shiit and just chill with my leftover high. let me know.

Most people go to work to earn money to secure a reasonable standard of living for themselves and their family. How much the job pays will always be an issue,but there are other, non-financial reasons that people may take into account. Would you give up work if you won the lottery? If not, what would motivate you to continue working?

I was sitting at a lunch table in highschool with my boyfriend and two other girls and their boyfriends. One of their boyfriends started to tell a perverted joke and the other guy was like, 'Dude, there are girls at the table.' .... so the guy stopped. When the other two girls got up to throw their plates away the guys started to tell the joke again .... but they stopped and looked at me. 'Maybe we shouldn't tell this with her here,' they said. At this point I was getting extremely angry ... I said 'Just tell the joke, you idiot.' So the one guy looked at my boyfriend and said, 'Hey, do you mind if she hears this?' My jaw dropped as my boyfriend stuttered on, incredulously, about how it was my choice and he had no say in the matter.That was the most disrespectful b.s. I've ever encountered. The guy explained that he was just trying to be respectful to my boyfriend, since 'men are supposed to be the leaders' in a relationship.....

Last night I had the strangest dream. Well it's not strange in the sense that everything is abstract so much as it is weird for me.

The beginning of the dream I am with Chris at his dorm, and we're hanging out as usual. Then it goes to me being on some kind of break from College..Probably Winter, where I am chillin' at my house. I haven't seen Chris for a few days and I began to hang out with my friend Joe(Geauga Lake Park Services Guy...just fyi), and he begins to come over my house more. He eats dinner with my family, I begin to talk to Chris less and less, and I begin to start doing things with Joe that I had enjoyed doing with Chris. I am beginning to fall in love with Joe, but somehow it doesn't feel right. For I am still deeply in love with Chris.

So one day I am alone in my front yard, I sit down and I ask God which guy I should be with. I hear a voice that says "Look up at the clouds." I look up and right by my neighbors tree there are 3 clouds. One on the left resembles Joe, one in the middle is me, and the right one is Chris. It's weird because they all resemble people. But anyhow I look and the clouds are like "pointing" at who I should be with. First it points to Joe, and there is a NO-NO symbol given, then it points to Chris, and a thumbs up is given. I realize in that point and time, I will love Chris no matter what. That day when Joe comes over, I proceed to tell him that I cannot see him as anything more than a friend, I love Chris.

A few minutes into our walk a neighbor stops me and talks to me about some kind of party, and If I could take care of it. I'd be paid 5 bucks an hour and it should last about 5-6 hours. I said sure.

*Note: I am still currently in my financial situation/car situation in the dream. It's like an extended reality*

Also when I was getting the answer from God on who I should be with, he told me the next day to go to my park, and someone would be offering me a job for 15 bucks an hour.

I went out to find Chris on my bike, and oddly enough he was right around the corner from me. He was standing on the edge of a bridge threatening to jump. I climbed up right next to him and I said... "Chris I am sorry for what I have done, forgive my foolish ways. I am sorry, I knew deep down I could never love anyone as much as I love you. Please take me back."

He proceeded to tell me to come give him a hug, and he held onto me extremely tight, as he jumped. I thought we were gonners, but we jumped back up, we were bungee jumping. There was a whole bunch of news people around, and when we had finally touched ground, Chris gave me the most amazing kiss ever and said, "I knew you'd come to your senses eventually. I will always love you, don't forget it."

We stopped, looked around and were surrounded by police, except for one spot where vehicles could come through. Well needless to say Joe came to the rescue with his car, and we were long Gone. Chris' parents saw the whole thing on TV, as did mine.....

AND THEN I WOKE UP.....

ARRRRRRRRR. IT was just getting good. But I wonder what it means....I was in love with 2 guys at the same time. and I loved one more....hmm.
