The particular demographic I'm addressing, African-American females under 25 or so, seems to be experiencing an explosion of ....uh, well..... for want of a better term...'gayness'.
Many are of that androgenous, not-quite-sure what they are variety, many aren't. I was looking at one girl, and though I knew intellectually it was a female everything about her on that subliminal, non-verbal communication level screamed 'horny teenage boy'. I have nothing against gay people, it's just the numbers in this particular sub-group have really caught me by surprise. Unfortunately, young black females is demographic that doesn't get much scrutiny social science-wise, or else this trend would have obvious earlier. I can't help but think that part of it is due to the decimation of generations of young black *men* from poverty, crime, drugs, and disease. Could this be an evolutionary niche being created, which some females are now filling? May sound crazy but think about what happens in prison...

I was visited in a dream by an angel and he made me walk with him to a meadow. I walked the streets and the houses and lawns looked like none I had seen, it was completely beautiful. I remember feeling extremely comfortable. He told me things of my future and my family. Everything seemed to be dead on, when walking back to my house in the dream, I had to go through this lady's house. I had to go home by the degree of the natural part in my hair, anyways. There was a lot of light in my house and dark natural wood, there were two doors side by side and someone was knocking, I went to answer the door on the left, and It freaked me out so bad I woke up and my nose started gushing blood, I'd never had a nose bleed in my life. Could this be some sign of God? It just doesn't make any sense to me, I felt totally fine with the dream until I went to answer the door.

My boyfriend and I left and went on a long road trip and saw our family. His grandfather had had a heart attack, we thought he might pass away so we left without saving extra money. We traveled 2,000 miles to get there and since we were there we visited my family on that side of the U.S. too. It was a great trip. Now (2 months later/long trip) I'm depressed to be home and overwhelmed with debt and lack of organization. Just cleaning up the house and getting mail in order seems impossible. Any suggestions of motivation out there?

On first glance this may seem like a stupid question.... maybe it is.... years ago I was watching my friends sister who would come home from work, light up a cigarette and have a few glasses of wine. I already smoked so I thought hey she seemed really relaxed and then I tried to get into the habit of drinking every night after work. So what Im asking is have you ever deliberately tried to get yourself into a bad habit in an effort to immitate somebody else? (By the way I know this was a silly thing to do I am just curious and bored)

Here lately i've been having dreams of some of my ex's. I have been divorced for 9 years and I've had dreams of my ex husband. And I've also had some dreams of my ex boyfriends. Nothing x-rated just hanging out having a good time. My wedding anniversary would've been the beginning of July. And I have also talked to a ex boyfriends sister a couple weeks ago and he admitted to her he messed up and wants her to try to hook us up again we haven't dated for 17 years. I haven't seen any of my ex's (the ones I've had dreams about) in like 5 years or more. Just wandering why all the sudden I would be dreaming about them. Not unless its cause of the above situations.

A lot of people think I am lazy but I wasn't always so idle. I have gone through a divorce (husband left for someone else), NASTY custody battle, I am BROKE no matter how hard I work because I pay for daycare, I'm sick a lot, I am living with my mom and mean-@ss step-dad until the divorce is final. I am sad all the time. I do take good care of my kids but that's about it. I don't feel like doing anything anymore. My mom talks about me being lazy and that makes me feel even worse. I feel like I am on the verge of dying from all this sorrow. Am I just lazy and making excuses?? How can I brake free from this?

You dream something you catch on to remember or not when you wake up. Maybe in a minute, in a day, in a week, in a month, or in a couple of years that dream of yours happened and you get a deja vu feeling like you swore this happened before.

really or was this a mind over matter thing?

I just asked another question about coping with extreme anxiety and fear of life (Ironically, 6 years ago I was the most spontaneous outgoing, socialite with heaps of freinds - not now) It may pay to read that so you know what Im on about here..

Anyways the other day my daughter went back to school from holidays. I hate being away from her - I worry I will get a phone call. Since we got a phone call on boxing day just gone saying my grandmother passed suddenly, I have attacks everytime the phone rings, thinking it will bring bad news.

Anyways I felt like I was dying all day - about an hour before she came home -I picked up a pen and paper and wrote a page of stuff like:

I am good enough,
I can do things
there is nothing to be scared of
I will not live in fear
I am a beautiful
I can do anything I want to do in life
there is no reason to be scared

And things like that...

For about an hour or so after that.. (cont)

I get them now and then when I listen to a song or are reminded of a place by something. I love them, I hate them, they're great, no matter what memory, sometimes they're stupid. Post some of your nostalgic memories. One of mine is last winter, when I went to Russia for two weeks [I usually go in the summer] and it was just soo great.

For me, It's usually 1 to 4 hours. You could call it insomnia. Mostly it's because I think at night. I make up things in my head and watch them, I read, or I write a chapter in the book I've been working on.A twisted story really......
But that's not the point. How long does it take for you to fall asleep?

I had this dream that I went to Mozambique as a class/school trip, there were these native dogs that were really small and wanted plants that our guide gathered to make a variety of alcoholic beverages. Then we sat on dirt and grass to watch a soccer game of our peers and natives. There were also some famous people that were my age when we sat on a like plateau with mountains in every direction and a chalk board that someone interpreted extremely fast.....then I woke up

More than once in my life, actually very often, I get this overwhelming feeling about people/ places. I get chills and I physically/ emotionally interupted. I get a very concious feeling about things often, sometimes in dreams and alot of times I have such a moving (emotional) feeling that tears water my eyes up. Sometimes I can think my way out of it and sometimes I just go with it. Am I a nut or are these of a physic nature?
