I have the weirdest dreams. Most of my dreams occur when I am half awake and if I'm trying to fall asleep again I cant stop my "dream". Most of the time my dreams are disturbing and I can't get out of it. Sometimes it seems like I am being possessed. And the creepy thing is that i forget about what happened in the morning but i remember how i felt. and sometimes i am having a dream that i cant wake up from and i suffer in my dreams and i know that i am dreaming but i cant wake up no matter how hard i try does anyone else expearince this or have suggestions on how i can stop it

..make passive / aggressive statements to purposefully piss you off. Other than opening a can of whip ***, i want to really show them that I dont need to result to childish behavior to do anything, that If I have an issue with somebody, I talk it out and resolve it. I am trying to stay out of the way, make myself invisable, and just let the comments pass, but I gotta stand up for myself someway. Any ideas ? Please only serious replys.

I sit at home all day not doing anything and procrastinating (mostly in the summer). I don't really want to do anything, I never go anywhere. I don't feel like anything is worth anything. Life is pointless.

So what's up with my thinking and how can i fix it? Cuz I KNOW its wrong.

Peter Pan comes to my window and we go away. When I was younger it was from my own window to the party my parents went without me at my grandma's house. Now it is at this unfamiliar location and I don't know where we are going.
Weird thing: I never remember flying- the dream isn't a flying dream.

How do people deal with regrets? Its not the same as remorse, where your sad because you lost someone, is it? What is regret anyway? Is it something like feeling bad about things ,usually mistakes, done in the past? How do you get rid of it? Why do we regret the things we've done, when we know that its in the past and we cant change it?
Aw man there are so many things i regret, but i cant change the things ive done in the past, were not suppost to. I might be too scared to settle some things that other people might have let go of by now.

Do you agree with Kruger and Dunning that as an individual's level of competency goes down their level of confidence goes up? This would mean that the most incompetent people are the ones that are the most confident they are good at what they do.

I've worn glasses in real life since I was a kid. (I can't deal with contacts due to allergies.) But in my dreams I don't wear them, don't need them, and have never dreamed about them. Odd, don't you think?

I lied in my bed last night and as I closed my eyes I thought. How do I go to sleep? I mean, I don't know if I've succeeded in falling asleep until I'm awake. It was a very unsettling feeling.

Has this ever happened to you? What do you do then?

Is it possible to forget the plot of a movie/book/game/etc. in a short ammount of time on purpose and not be reminded of it when you go through it again without the use of drugs or getting hit in the head? If so, how?

I think so because then they could make the girls get health check ups and they could tax the money. What is wrong with 2 adults that consent to something anyway?
Pot too for that matter.

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?

Over all the countries, female assaulting males overall 31.6%, and men assaulting women at 24.4%. Severe assaults: women assaulting men at 10.6%, and men assaulting women at 7.6%.

This is not intended to distract from the fact that women should not be assaulted, and measures should be taken against such behavior. Besides changing sexist organizations that protect women only, ... what else can we do?

I've had crossed eyes my whole life were one eye or the other will cross inward when I'm not using it. Anyway, I'm in college and I aways hear about how hard it is to get a job after graduating. I feel like I have an even bigger disadvantege because people may not think I'm as smart or capable as other applicants because of my eyes.

I want to be a psychiatrist and I'm worried my patients may not take me as seriously. I just recently started thinking about this. Should I be worried?

I'm sure you all know what I'm talking about.. why are teenagers so apt to cause trouble and treat others with disrespect? I've noticed this for a while (as this is a pretty well known fact..) but I just returned from a walk, and while I was walking on the side of the road this truck with about 3 teenagers drove by be, blaring rap music (these kids have been around here before, I seriously thought it was a huge burst of thunder once when they drove by) and one of the kids yelled "HEY F@G WANNA HAVE ASEX!!!!!!!"... I've been the victim of this kind of behavior many times.. why must a lot of teenagers pick on people and be @$$holes every chance they can get?

When I have dreams about flying, the seem very real. Oh well. Anyway, I usually fly just one metre above the ground, so it's very low, and my body is actually swimming to move forwards. It's really interesting and quite realistic. Any similar experiences or explanations? lol.
