for example do babies actualy have formulated thoughts and an inner thought language or not? i think that they can only perceive react and just BE. am i correct? they are still learning the way things work. all they can do is BE and to perceive and test things. but other than that they have to learn the way things work before they can have any true knowledge on what it is that they are percieving right?

after all you cant formulate and create any real thought patterns untill you learn about your reality and as you grow older the brain matures enough to make predictions and ideas based on your reality. what do you think??

I have alot of dreams where I'm either defending a family member or someone I care about and sometimes, I get seriously injured in my dreams and I've died in a couple. What does that mean?

Also, my sister had two seperate dreams where our parents died. In the first one, she didnt say how but she knew that our mom had died in it and in the second one, our dad had died when he got hit by a car. What do those mean?

Any help would be greatly appreciated! And if anyone knows of a link where you can send other dreams to be interpreted, that would be very helpful too!

There were several changes that occurred as a result of the September 11, 2001, bombing of the Twin Towers in The States. An Anthropologist would analyze these changes based on how humanity was affected, culturally and from a global perspective. For example, many people’s overall view of Islam has changed as a result of the crash. Many Muslims were eventually judged based on their cultural background. Look at it this way – would an Iranian man or woman living in America (specifically) still be looked at the same way he or she was after the crash? Probably not. When that Iranian man travels back to his country, he will be suspected and questioned a lot more then a European person going back to his country would. People who have never met that Iranian man may look at his more suspiciously. Before September 11, 2001, the word “terrorist” was rarely used to describe someone from an Islamic background.

She has just turned 13, doesn't call any friends on the phone ever, elects to sit by herself when the rest of the family is egaged in an activity, when you talk to or with her she is almost completely emotionless, she would rather write what she is feeling rather than express it verbally, she intently focuses on only what she wants for the moment and acts tormented when she doesn't get her way, she believes love is expressed by getting her way or recieving what she wants.
She had seizures as an infant and toddler, was born with water on the brain and has no respect for her mother or myself and we are the 2 adults that really care for her and the more we try the more she pulls away. Does this seem to be mild autistic behavior?

In my dream i'm sleeping on the floor in the living room and my older sister comes over at like 2am and tells me we're going swimming and I'm like its late and she says lets go! so I get up and we go. Its the dead of winter. She drives to this cave of some sort and its pretty inside. Purple & blue crystals hanging from the ceiling. The water is a pure dark blue. And in some spots there is ice. I'm worried cuz i know the water is ice cold but we walk to the edge, hold hands and jump into the water but its not cold. So we dive into the water and we swim what seems like miles under water and we can breathe in the water. So we swim and swim seeig fish and these pretty things, until we come to this, like secret underwater village where a killer whale is the head of the village. when we get there, she takes me to the whale and tells me to ask him anything I ever wanted to kno. but the next thing I know he tells me that i have to mate with him and I'm Ok with it but scared and then wake up.

CHild not raised enough quality time by parents-->gets ignored-->develops ADHD-->goes on some psychiatric medication-->later gets "diagnosed with schizoois, Borderline, or Bipolar Disorders." The Healthcare system feeds onto itself along with the social system of having kids out of wedlock wake up America!!! Did not Moses live 800 years and have no doctor or nurse at not the one today who in many instances waste yor time and your money, while their own kids are being raised in day-care?

It started when I had this dream.I met a shadowy man from a different planet with his created friends.We sat and talk and he wanted me to come with him but I couldn't because of school but my desire to be with him was strong and at the end of the dream,I was leaning on him.

The second dream which started me to ask this question was meeting three friends and one of them was important to me.We stood infront of a huge castle and I talked to one of the other two about when I wake up from this dream,I will never see them again and how much I miss them.When he found out we tried our best to tell the first friend.I did,but he wants to find a way to stay in this dream with them.But while discussing how,I woke up without saying goodbye to them at all.

So...what is all this?It feels like theres some sort of world or is this world in my head or is this just all in my head?

When I read about atheists and theists attacking each other (ie atheists attacking the beliefs and theists attacking evolution) and see that neither understands that actual beliefs of the other and is utterly convinced that they do understand, I get very angry. Why?

What is the psychology behind my frustration?

all the pain you will endure during your lifetime consecutively for so many years and then the rest of your years would be peaceful and painless.......would you opt to take this onslaught of pain all at once for so many years/decades so as to get it out of the way?.........and/or......would you choose to endure it later so you can have a good life when you are younger? what period of life would you endure the pain years?
