I was just wondering what really cause abnormalities and how we can define normal and abnormal? What are the major effects of being abnormal?

I know how odd this sounds, and animal rights activists - don't be offended, this isn't for a sinister nature. I need one for a project I'm working on, it needs to be intact and fresh. How would I go about acquiring one? Myth Busters manage to get pigs, some guy in the UK managed to get a Corgi to eat it as a protest to the royal family for hunting foxes(satire approach), surely there must be a way. And I would like to acquire it from the most humane source possible. Can anyone think of any suggestions?

We all know that Investments in a nation contributes to its GDP.. GDP is supposedly a reflection of our economic condition/health..

As the government steps in to invest & while making profits do you think they are distorting actual condition of economic growth or trying to improve GDP figures in a not so appropriate method? The saying is.. 'since we can't get people to do the job/invest, we do it ourselves' I mean.. since either way it will contributes to the nation's growth.

Without looking at actual situation, I'm already assuming that government might be involved in cashing into firms, do you think it is a good measure to improve economic condition as firms receive investment funds from government & the goverment can generate reserves on such investments?

Is it ' Dual Beneficial' or is it just a distortion of facts.

What's your stand?

I went back to sleep this morning and had a dream, but there was nothing in it but complete blackness with a blue cloudy mist with a blob of purple mist drifting in it. If I concentrated on it, a weird distorted and garbling noise started up and I started building up a headache until it got so bad I woke up.

I used to have those up to the age of about eight, just with brief flashing sparks in the blackness instead of a mist, but I’d still have the noise and headache. I’m sixteen now. Any ideas why the headache and weird dream’s suddenly back?

Without considering facial expressions. Can you really tell the truth just by looking into ones eyes. Even if you can't see the iris dilation or not.

I just saw a photo of a woman and her face was awful. It was almost like blistered and bumpy like she had a disease and now i cant stop seeing it. Its like a constant screen saver in my mind and when my mind goes blank that sight pops up. And i start to think that she is standing behind me or that if i look in the mirror my face will look like hers or my feet will look like that and i have to keep checking mylsef? Does anyone else get things like this? Im sure it will go away soon but at the moment i feel really uneasy..

I keep having these dreams off and on for the longest times about crashing planes. They are jet liners and they crash right in front of me, usually in a ball of fire! One time I could even read the carrier name! I would like to know if anyone could possible help me interpret this! I DO have a fear of flying but it seems like it has to be something more complicated since I have no flying planned! Anyone?

I had a strange dream about a dead own that was in a box. It's eyes were open and it was looking at me. For some reason I reached down to touch one of it's talons and it broke off...I dropped it. At that point I woke up. I know that a dead owl is a sign of a narrow escape from serious illness or death...but can anyone help make anymore sense of this dream?

Thanks

I realised that i get frustrated easily these few months over stupid things. Like the other time, i was reading a my biology textbook on the eye and suddenly i had a panic attack. Why?
Because it was saying that our eyes can only focus on an area at a time. There's nothing wrong about it but my mind ventured into why we can't focus on multiple things. I felt limit. I felt so helpless. And so scared. Please help.

I frequently dream about this one house. The house is always the same but the people/situations are always different. It always has the same feeling about it too. Know what I mean? Has anyone else ever had this happen? And what could it mean??

When I listen to my music, I have these thoughts of people doing dances & movements that it's impossible to do. & I have to be able to concentrate on the dance & the music of the song, & I don't like to be interrupted when I'm listening to my music. Another ritual I have is that I have to look at pictures of my favorite celebrities & friends in order to block out the images of people I'm upset with or dislike.

Is this creative or crazy & weird?

Ok this is kind of freaky and i'm dead serious. Sometimes things i dream about come true. A few days ago, i saw a mother deer with two baby newborn fawns at the beach. How they got down there, i have no idea. Well they were walking along these large rocks and i noticed that the 2nd fawn had dissapeared. I thought not much of it. But that night i had a dream that i was on the beach and the ghost of the baby fawn came up to me, and i was also dead. I also dreamt that i had had an awkward conversation with my sister that i've been meaning to have for a while. The next day i could'nt take my mind off the baby fawn, so i went to the beach, climbed to the place they were at and, sure enough, i think i saw a body of a fawn surfaced in the ocean below :(:(:(:(
Should i be scared for my own life? After all, in the dream, i was dead along side the fawn. Or should i just avoid the conversation i had with my sister?
And has anyone ever had something like this happen to them?

you see, i have this crush since 3rd year in high school and he also likes me. Unfortunately, he went to UK because of his family's business. After going away, we never had any communication although i've tried all possibilities to communicate with him. His friends tell me that maybe he's not going to come back here. Ever since he went away, i've always had this dream that he's coming back. But oftentimes, I can only see his back or his side and i've never even approached him even in my dreams. Is the dream telling me he's coming back or is it telling me that he's staying there? can anyone interpret my dream?

It doesn't seem to matter whether the long hair looks good (or is even healthy or shiny). Why is long hair on a woman so important to guys?

There are two dreams, that are looped in this lil skull of mine. the one I had the first time. I was in my childhood home, the sky darkened. A storm was coming. I had to leave. Escape. Driving away, I see one tornado, then two, then three. I turn around, rushing to get home, to safety. A huge flash flood envelopes the car. Darkness.

I'm in my current home. The air is thick, damp, pressurized. The wind roars, I look out the front window, a tornado. Greg (Husband) looses control, running around. I grab my youngest son, screaming for Greg to get into the cellar, only to remember my oldest son is in his crib, napping. I run up stairs, catching a glimpse out my bedroom window of another tornado behind our house. Scooping my oldest out his crib, he's startled, just beginning to cry, I look out his window to a tornado. That's three, I realize, "We'll never make it", I say. My child screams. Darkness.

lol Any ideas?
