but is there a name of the fear or phobia for being frightened of looking at the ocean on a map on the computer?

Anytime I dream of running...whether its running to catch up to something or running away from something I can never run, its like my legs are solid cement blocks and the only way I can get anywhere is by gripping at grass on the ground or whatever objects are around to grab on to. This is the only way I can ever run in a dream...I think I've only had 1 dream in my whole life in which I could run w/out the aid of anything. What does this mean?

I dreamed night before last that I saw this guy that I liked for years, but who never seemed interested in me. In the dream, though, he was - we would kiss for a little while, but then I would have to go off and do something. This continued for a long time, but right before I woke up, we were making out and I had a big piece of gum in my mouth, and he starting using it to choke me, and I couldn't get him to stop.
What the heck is that about?

I had this dream where two friends who are twins ( dont know if that matters) were driving up this road. It had roadkill everywhere. Anyway we started driving up this really steep cliff that was next to the ocean or something. It didn't have any roadkill on it but there was a big tree limb lying half on the road and half off of it. Well we decided to go around the branch and up the hill but we started rolling backwards and somehow I was out of the car and rolling over the side of the cliff. I somehow caught onto the branch but I was still falling when the younger of the twins (whom i'm closer to) caught the branch and was struggling to hold onto it and eventually I just fell into the water and the dream was over. If you could provide some insights as to what this all means I would be extremely happy.

Ok.....My dreams all have to do with small spaces, specifically, ones I cant fit threw, tunnels, tubes, doors, caves, etc. Up until now I believed it had to do with my weight issues but this last one had me wondering. My youngest daughter and I were walking a very narrow track with a long way down if we fell. When we reached an intersection I couldnt look around to see which way to go without falling so I put my daughter in the middle so she could see except shes the one who feel into a tube. Awoke screaming because I couldnt reach her to get her out. All I could reach is her fingertips and hair, so real that I can still feel her hair in my hands

It seems that whenever someone starts a vicious rumor about another, people will automatically take that person's word as gospel without actually trying to get the maligned person's side of the story. Why is this? Why do people automatically assume that vicious rumors are true? Is it because people like to assume the worst about others?

Three nights in a row now. The first was me being in church and this crazy rival pastor came in spraying bullets. This man shot me several times the first time, then when I tried to leave he got me again -- I thought about writting a note in blood but decided to just die. The second dream was about me having killed (I don't know how but I did) this ladies kid, it was mostly a dream about me asking her for forgiveness. She did and shook my hand -- when I tried to leave her other kids (who I didn't want to see my face) saw me and asked. Your name isn't Cesar is it? ROBERTO! (My real name is Cesar) The other dream I can't remember.

I had this dream where the tip of my thumb fell off. I ran to the doctors to get it sewn back on or something and there was a big line for the surgery. I waited in the line until it was my turn to see the doctor and he just held the top of my thumb onto the bleeding stump and it just fixed itself. like just joined together. For a while after, i had to keep checking my thumb to see if it was in line to the stump and straight. Then i woke up.
I tried to figure out what this means but have had no luck. Anybody help me out?

"Did you get my package, I sent you a bra...because I sent your sister one, I'm sending you one too."

I'm mid 30s with a family so I wondered why it was said so adamently as if I needed the bra and wanted her confirmation that it was sent. Then she says,

"I put your graduation picture up just like I did for your sister"

Meanwhile there are 4 of us siblings all together, so if this was some sort of equality statement, why didn't she comment on sending the others something as well? Anyway, I wouldn't have even known if one got something and I didn't...and further, who cares?

My question is: What just happened here and why did that bother me?

when the weather gets colder. On those days that I end up arriving late, I notice right away after my alarm rings that it's cold and the blankets are warm (btw, not married so I don't have a supportive wife to kick me out of bed) and I'm feeling groggy..then I just let these conditions overrride my body and go back to sleep again.. and of course, I then wake up again and see, to my horror, that I won't be able to catch my train on time.

How can I avoid this in the future? I think this bad habit put me under a bad light, which is partly why I don't have a good number of job references to provide, even though I'm in my mid 30s.

Okay so ever since I was little I have had nightmares. I rarly have good dreams. Recently though I have had several reoccuring dreams. 1st one is that I am outside somewhere looking up at the sky. I see planes flying and some just enteriing the sky from the gound. (I also see helicopters). At some point I get a weird feeling and then suddenly as I look up the planes just drop and fall to the ground. I have to literally run to get out of the way of each one as it seems to come toward me. They miss hitting me each time. 2nd dream is me at home (or at a place I lived before..it always changes location) and I am looking out the window and see a big tidal wave coming. I am not near the ocean. It looks like it the movie Day after Tomorrow. But just not AS large. I am often alone but also with my husband or others. We always make it out alive. Even though the water hits our home it never enters. Not sure why. Okay and the last reoccuring dream is of Tornados. I have this ...

I am looking for opinions from folks from all walks of life. You don't have to be a psychologist, etc to have an opinion about this subject.

The past is a vast crack
That swallowed my mother
And spit me back
I looked over the edge of the crater
And I really missed her
Years later, looking back
I can only hate her
Between the need for nurturing
And the yearning to break free
Is a gigantic fault line
That starts with a tremor
And seismically ceases to let us keep to our beliefs
Take these heavy stones of the past off of me

Behavior modification is slavery

The past is a massive tidal wave
That carried my father out to sea
And came crashing down on me...
