I'm just wondering what everybody thinks.

We had a huge discussion about it in class today, and it's interesting to hear other people's point of views.

This is a dream I had a long time ago, (before the Matrix came out and affected our thinking) but it has stuck with me strongly.

I was some where else, the building were dull orange and the same color as the gound. People were all around, but most of them could fly. There was a call for new students and I went, they were explaining how to fly like the others. That all you had to do was bend over, with your hands infront of you, like a diver. Then Focus on the tips of your middle fingers, and after a while wrench your arms apart and inside where the arms had been there was a anit-vaccum that held you. Your thoughts would spread from your fingers and keep you up. The rest of the dream I spent trying to do this. I eventually did, and joined the others flying. When I woke I slammed my body into the bed (unconciously) as if I had crash landed.

Any Ideas about this one?

My mom broke down and cried a week ago about her severe depression and her possible bipolar disorder. I want to help her, but I don't know how. She said things that were so scary, like she doesn't know what she might do, hurt herself or us. I don't know what to do. I cant force her, I;m 18 and she's 45. Anything would be appreciated. I just need some idea.

a week ago i dreamt that i was in some kind of hospital/rehab center(the impression that i got) and i stepped into a room about fears. the rooom was FILLED with spiders(which i am severely afraid of in real life). i immediately left the room, and sat down nearby. a large and a small spider both crawled to my foot, as i sat unable to move. the large one bit my foot, the small one didnt. i think someone then told me not to worry, it wasnt poisonous. Any ideas?

My bf or ex bf, whom Im trying to work things out with, still doesn't let me sleep over his house or even go to his house. it's been over 2 months (around the time we broke up) that he doesn't let me go over. It's because I dont' get along with his roommate but i've asked him to tellme what we can do to solve the problem and he never gives me a solution. he just avoids the topic. i'm getting sick of it now, especially since we're trying to get back together, so i asked him about it tonight and he said "why do u have to start trouble". so i kicked him out of my house because he refuses to find a way for me to be able to go over his house.
AM I wrong or right? If he isn't letting me over, i'm starting to feel it's something more than just issues with his roommate and that pisses me off. i've never not been welcome at someones house in my life.....

I'm sure I have depression, but I don't know about the suicidal part. I think of it, I think of how I would do it, but at the same time, I would never do it. So..is that doctor worthy?

I am 13 and in the 8th grade, second term. Last year, for reasons unknown, even though I am very bright and have had no trouble until now, my grades suddenly plummeted and I have been struggling ever since, with Ds in some of the most important subjects. My midterm grades had several Ds... in geometry, english and a C in Science, with a few Bs and several more Cs. I don't know what's wrong with me... I figure I have three choices. Either I crawl into a hole and die, I live my life out as a homeless bum or I fake insanity and spend my years in an institution. I might be able to improve up to mostly A's and B's next year if I work really REALLY hard... but is it even worth it? I want to be a pediatrician... but will my grades for this year and last year keep me from doing this? I'm in the eighth grade, have I totally ruined my life? Please answer honestly, I can't sleep I'm so worried.

but you can't because it just doesn't work that way... (ex. I'm in a horrible mood. If I go to work today, I'll probably snap someone in half with my mouth if they cross me".

For the most part, I'm not a very negative person, I don't really even come across as feeling this way - but deep inside I have this nagging sort of feeling of looking down upon myself. I almost feel disconnected from my own self at times (as crazy as it sounds), and I find it hard to just relax and be comfortable in my own skin. Any help is very much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Dreaming an abnormal amount lately. Letest one was the first sexual dream I've ever had, and I'm 30 years old. My wife divorced me over a year ago, the most painful thing in my life. She did a lot of damage. two nights ago, i had a dream that she entered my bedroom, without saying a word, and climbed into bed with me. That was the whole dream. Could this mean anything more than the obvious?

Can you think back to a time when you saw an angel or a miracle or anything of this nature occur right in front of you that convinced you the Bible must be true?

To you it may not seem like my problem is a big one, but it is the biggest problem that I face at the moment, so it affects me just as much as a problem that you may consider to be a greater problem would affect you.
