This is absolutely true, a few years ago we had to live in a hotel for a few months the builder had made a right balls up of our new house.
My wife is a nurse so we both worked shifts and was allowed connecting rooms in a nice hotel while the house was repaired.
After waking in the twin room on my own as I got out of bed my hand slipped on the sheet I went to the toilet switched the light on and my hand was covered in blood I could`nt find where it had come from I woke my wife in the next room and she found the my bed was covered in blood , after a frantic search we found a pin prick in my back with blood coming from it we took the sheet to the night porters desk, he looked astonished we went to hospital,it,it was full of people and we were flying to spain on holiday that day so my wife put a dressing on the pin prick in my back, we got to Spain and it was still bleeding. you boffins out there please tell what bit me? The hotel was spotless I swear this is true.

Why do I have so many fragments of dreams that I think about when I wake up? Some just make no sense, but it seems like there are so many, every morning. Is this normal? I know I sleep light usually.

Generally men are perverted in some way or another. Women need to realize that they are human and that perversion is the way to a man's heart.

Could this be the explanation why prayer and meditation works to a degree - especially in large numbers? Or do you consider it a placebo effect and nothing more?

Why is it some guys don't turn me on at all and others make me melt completely. Is attraction mostly what society considers attractive? Is it inborn to feel attracted to certain features?

I asked this last night and got some great responses so asking again for any new people to comment!

To assist me with my art brief, i would like the public's thoughts on age please..... like how does the thought of getting old make you feel?
Do younger people actually take a look at old people and acknowledge them for who they are, and the fact that they know far more than young people and have experienced so much of life. Cheers!

I dream things that happen the next day. Sometimes i don't actually remember until its happening the next day. Also I work in the public so I see a lot of people. I can look at a person and read them, I know it may seem crazy. But it's like this rush of thoughts and feelings go through me of what' s going on with them. It only happens if i really look at the person, not just by glancing. Also sometimes it almost scares me, because for example. I seen this guy no names or anything will be given. These terrible thoughts came through my head about pain and anguish, of him hurting a child. Later I found out through research he was really a child molester. I swear its weird sometimes, like am I crazy? Help confused and lost.

I was reading a book description online about how hypnotism can help in all sorts of places in life, at work, at school, in the bedroom. It seems like a really interesting subject, I am just wondering if it really works, and if anyone has stories about really being hypnotised. Thanks!

I had a weird dream. I was in a train, then it got hit by another train. Then I was on the tracks, don't remember the whole dream. Then another train was coming, and I though I was going to get hit and die. Then somehow the dream changed and I ended up on another set of rail road tracks. How come I never got hit, or is it impossible to die in your dream. Perhaps if I was lucid, the train could have hit me, because I could control the dream. What does the dream mean?

My frustration does not lie with those who are truly diagnosed with depression, Rather, my argument lies with those who have a bad day, week, month or even year and like to shout out, "Oh, I'm depressed!" when really all they are, are people who are struggling to deal with adversity in their lives. Adversity, I might add that should they meet it head on and overcome it, they will emerge a much better person for it in the end.

The drug companies are leading the population to believe that if you aren't smiling and whirling around through the park, playing ball with your perfectly bred lab then you must be depressed and if you take "our" pill, you can be as happy as all these other people who are taking our pill(s).

Like it or not I have observed a trend in the work place and out and about. People self diagnosing their 'depression' and they have learned the "DEPRESSION SPEAK" of today so that their Dr.'s are handing out drugs left and right without follow up visits, even.

Like say if a bad event happened when you were younger.(example) Like if your mother like accidentally dropped a bunch of glass by you or something and the last thing you saw was like , idk, the color red. could that cause you to basically hate that color because your mind is kinda in a sense going back to that day. Even though you may not be having a flashback.


I know it is kinda unclear but try to answer the best you can!
