It was just amazing!

I started out with me giving my long-time crush a lecture about my unconditional love for him and how he has only hurt me. A little while later he asked me out and we turned out to be a happy couple!

More Info: I have never actually dreamed this way about him. I have also liked him for awhile and within the first 2 weeks I told him my feeling, but he didn't feel the same.

It seems to me that Capitalism isn't gonna work as we get farther into the future. i believe for a stable society Socialism must rise to the front as the Economic standard. I feel in the future all basic human needs must be provided free of charge ie food, water, shelter, heat, healthcare and higher education.

We dont have control over the brain, when we want to learn something really badly, are brain records it, but we forget it.

We have a muti functional brain that we have no control over it. If you want to feel happy, you cant feel happy.

In certain parts of the brain we function of what we think, makes our personality, so we dont control the rest of the brain.

Our brain is in control of us, but we are the driver of the brain, and the people in the back seat is the other portions of the brain. Is this true??

We are dumb because we are not able to control skills within our brain, and for those who are smart can control these things.

I don't understand all the hype these days about positive thinking and to avoid negative thinking. The scientific method is based on "Critical Reasoning" (not positive reasoning) supported by observation and that has worked pretty well I think.
I find, for myself, dwelling on the positive is just as likely to produce failures as is dwelling on the negative. Why not put effort on keeping the thinking realistic? That's what works for me anyhow. Even if the realistic assessment is pretty gloomy, I find this is better than not being realistic.

A famous example of seeing if people are positive or negative is asking them if a cup is half full or half empty. If someone says that the cup is half full they are said to be positive. But are they really. If you see a half empty cup in front of you, it is most common that you drank it. So if there is a bad drink, but you have to drink it, so you say its half full. Because its a bad drink. You don't want to drink it. So it looks like theres more then there really is. So, saying something is half full is actually negative depending on the drink. And most people use milk in the example so thats like saying if you like milk your negative.

Thinking, be it positive or negative requires labelling; it is this of which has a direct impact on the molecular level with-in the body.

Regretfully, it is society’s method of brainwashing the people that basically limits the ability to truly place the correct label on something that simply is.

An example of thought outside of the tribal way of thinking: there is no such thing as a black man, if even at all there is only “the man”; it is thinking in such a manner which in turn eliminates the said potential enemy.

You may readily answer both but in today,s world one is simply confused. The churches teaches you to do good things which only come from a healthy mind. Outside the churches, politicians, the entertaiment world, business colleagues, friends and so many people sort of play down your honesty, good naturedness and put more emphasis on how you look. You may be hurt inside, nobody seem to care in as much you cover that with a veneer of good dressing. Why so much emphasis on outward looks than the inner person today?

My husband has depression and was diagnosed with bi-polarism 14 years ago from a Doctor in NYC whose name he would not ever be able to recall, at this point.

Aside from a little P/T work at hotels in L.A. and NY in 1990 and 1994, he has never been able to work. That is the entirety of his work life. This illness stops him from being able to work.

He has attempted to start dozens of companies since I met him and not one has come to fruition. I work and support him and pay all the bills. I am not lodging a complaint – just want readers to understand the whole of the situation before they can advise me.

My husband has lived on one or more anti-depressants since 1999. His list: Celexa, Prozac, Zoloft, Effexor, Wellbutrin, Paxil and now back to Effexor.

He has never attempted to seek financial assistance but he wishes to now. He is so hopeful that it will work. We both are. My salary is not covering our needs and the company I work for is in financial difficulty. Thank you.

I don't know how much I believe in symbolism in dreams but I figure it doesn't hurt to speculate.

Anyway, as the title of this question implies, I dreamt I was at battle. The weird thing is that I hardly ever think about war, nor do I have any desire to be in one. Also, this is one of those dreams in which I retained, and still retain, a set of very clear images in the dream (clear as far as dreams go).

Let me attempt to describe it:
The chronology is unfamiliar, but I remember fighting along a beach on a very small island, like a naval base or something. The island itself had no vegetation...it was completely barren but had mountain-like structures in the inner regions. The reason I ask about this dream is because the common theme throughout seemed to be me, fighting alongside my friends, being forced into multiple near-death situations but somehow amazingly surviving each time. My mind had not defined any friends individually that I can remember, I just knew they were friends
