When a people die but doctors bring them back to life what do they see after they die. Apparently some people died and they all said the same thing.

Or had to go through?
I know the hardest thing I have ever done is childbirth, some women would agree. But I am also talking of mental trials, not just physical. Mentally, the hardest thing for me is the passing of a loved one, or delibrately causing anguish on another in an argument. It hurts all involved, hence the mental stress. I know this is not the best example, that's why I want to know what the hardest thing you have ever had to do is.

I just want to know your opinions on why or why not.
I am kinda on the fence about it, but if I do take his last name, I will make my current last name my second middle name. The reason why this is so important to me is because my step-father adopted me and that really means a lot to me. My last name is a symbol of that. The only problem is that this is a big deal to my fiancee.
Any way any advice you have is appreciated.
Thanks.

Say, you write something, or paint a picture, or take a photograph, or put some degree of effort into any given project. Something tells you it's "really, really good" and you're bursting with pride, anxious to tell or show someone your 'masterpiece.' Just think of all those sad souls on American Idol. Now, one of two things happen. Either you receive a lukewarm reaction to your masterpiece--not qute what you expected--or, alternatively, when you look at it again a few days later or even the next morning, you've no idea why you thought it was so good to begin with. You see all sorts of mistakes and confusions and errors that, for some remarkable reason, were invisible to you immediately after your creation. It's easy to say we're 'delusional' or 'narcissistic' but I think that's too simple an answer. In my career I work with very talented people who have the same difficulty in distinguishing their best from their worst immediately after completion. Any thoughts or theories on this?

Do you think they are abnormal? Do you have any personal experiences with this yourself?

I, myself, used to have 6 imaginary friends. They even had names, 3 girls and 3 boys! My siblings used to make a lot of fun of my but my parents thought it was very fascinating how a child's mind worked in such a manner.

FYI Chad is my boyfriend...
As I lay on the couch last night, drifting in and out of sleep, I had a series of unusual dreams. the first one starts and a friend or family members(of Chads) house. Many people were there, many I did not know. Although i was not drinking in the dream, I still manage to fall and hit my head on the wall or a chair...I can't recall. I get up and as I am wandering through I start to see the people I do know (that Chad has introduced me to) and then i see my Dad. Then chad tells me my mom is there and I see my brother...and just about everyone I know comes out the wood work. So in the mean time chad avoids me at all costs, but everytime i see him he kinda laughs at me...then I woke up.
I cannot remember the specific order of the next few dreams but i think it went like this...I was (dreaming) i was sleeping on the couch. you know one of those "did this really just happen" things. There was a knock at the door. more to come

Recently, the CEO of Goldman Sachs got a bonus of over 50 million dollars. Why people need that much money baffles me, given the high levels of poverty in our world. If we imposed a salary cap on individuals (and a cap on corporate profits), assuming there's no constitutional barrier to doing so, would owners of companies have an incentive to pay their workers more? For instance, if we capped Donald Trump's salary and his corporation's profits, would he pay his lowest-wage earners more or would he simply lose the motivation to push his corporation to make money? Is it possible to convince capitalists to make more money not for their own profit, but to raise wages for low-income Americans?

In high school I would always get told I looked like her, should become an impersonator, blah, blah, blah. Well, I graudated five years ago but still feel the need to live up to that. I hate it. We are definitely not identical, but there are some similiarities. My problem, however, is my nose. I have a tiny little bump in the middle of it and it totally ruins my self-confidence. Everytime someone mentions our resembelance, I feel like hiding my nose! Help!! How can I just forget about it?

I have a trust issue. I tend to be skeptical of people. Anyone who I've ever trusted has screwed me over. Recently, I've trusted someone and found out that she had a "falling out" with another friend because she told her mother that girl's secrets. Since I've found that out, I've been paranoid that she's gonna tell the whole world my secrets too. What can I do to trust people without hesitation?

I have dreams of trying to run away, but failing. Trying to escape, but being caught and dragged back to the place I so desperately want to get away from.
All the deffs for running are either about competitive running *wtf? who thinks race and run should be considered the same? i don't* or running away and getting away.
I want to know what trying and failing to leave could mean.
And to answer the "have you had an experience where you couldn't get away in life?" questions, YES. From an ex not taking "it's over" for an answer and literaly clinging to me to a "friend" not taking "i'm not gonna hit you" for an answer to a thing with school where they wouldn't let me leave but wouldn't deal with me either. Yes, there are things from real life, but I don't assotiate the situations in the dreams to the ones of real life.
Anyone got anything that ight help?

All my life I've had dreams of certain places *this zoo, snow globe, house that the interior changes from time to time but when I walk outside it's the same place* most of which I've never been to. Along with places, there's usually the same situation. With my house, I'm trying to get away from a party but keep getting caught. The zoo there's nearly allways animals escaping. The snow globe there was a snow queen that took me to visit santa and such *they go back as far as I remember, but stopped before I was six*
Is there something to the setting of a dream, and is it more important if it is exactly the same setting revisited with different people both from past and present? I still can't find a dream interpreter *online thing, you type in dream, it spits out interpretations of phrases, not just simple words like all the dictionaries availible that have proven useless. the symolism of the word "flying" isn't going to help you when you're surounded by flying birds in your dream*

People are always telling me that I look sad or depressed or they ask if i'm okay (with a concerned tone). I think i'm just looking like me, but I have looked in the mirror and caught myself off gaurd looking quite, well sad. I am a little depressed but not really like clinically or anything, at least I don't think so. Anyway I really want to look happy but how do I do that. How can I truly be happy.

Hi. Im 15 and ever since ive been four years old, If i'm in a hot shower and let the water run on the back of my neck I get a very strange feeling that rushes through my body and I start hearing voices that are singing. No specific words just diferent tones. My hypothesis was that the blood vessels leading to my brain were dialated thus heightening my basic sences I.E. hearing. But now I get the feeling when out of the shower and very faint singing. And the voices occur much easier in the shower now (just having hot water on my head) I've always wondered what this is and why it happens. Some clues may be I have low blood pressure maybe? Any hypothesis or similar stories would be appreciated.

I know they aren't memories, per se, but they aren't quite dreams. When I think of screaming, the thought that pops to mind is trying to scream but no sound coming out, as though you've litteraly forgoten how to make the sound. Can anyone tell me what it means, cuz I've thought and rulled out most generic reasons.
