I have a reoccurring dream about fixing and adding security locks/devices to windows. I am not usually over fearful in my dream but it seems to always be the same theme about increasing the security in my house - mainly the windows. Any ideas about what this could mean??

Sometimes, i "zone out" in the middle of class or just at home. But when im zoned out, im not daydreaming or thinking of anything at all. i am just looking straight ahead of me, blank-minded. Am i in a natural hypnotic state?

I pay the same rate but only have access to about 85% of the gym, while women have 100%. Now I know the reasoning behind this but still it seems sexist to me.

I know that the best way to solve panic attacks when I have them is to breathe in and out for a couple of minutes, but how can I help prevent myself from having them in the first place, if possible?

I know that B.C.E. stands for Before Current Era, BC: Before Christ, C.E.: Current Era, and A.D.:After Death, but what is now considered the year 0 with the current eras? Is it still based on Jesus' lifetime?

How can an asexual, lesbian woman, or a woman who has taken a vow of celibacy punish men who make sexual advances at her? This question is on behalf of all my sisters who simply want to walk or ride a bike to the store and back without men trying to recruit them for lewd and immoral acts. Men don't put up with men doing this to them, so why should women settle for less? Why do men have the luxury of being able to walk down the street and not be seen as a sex object?

http://science.howstuffworks.com/deja-vu.htm
I get Deja Vu anywhere, anytime, some from familiar occurences, alot of times not tho. I have always gotten Deja Vu. When I was younger I would get Deja Vu that would lead into Prognition. Not very much, like enough for a couple of sentences to be spoken, or a few actions. Then I would get it so I would think something was going to happen, but it never did. Now I get it so that I have Deja Vu that I have had Deja Vu of what is happening and that I either say something about it or not. I have tried doing what I saw, and I have tried not doing it. Either way It never goes the way I saw. Now, please remain respectful and serious because I am quite so, I have Deja Vu of Deja Vu of Deja Vu. It is so hard to grasp, but it is the only way I can say it. I have been diagnosed with schizophrenia in the later part of my life, but have been told my symptoms are not the same as normal ones because I knew it wasn't real while it happened and after.

They say when you're a child your brain is like a sponge when it comes to learning. I would like to know if as a child they actually comprehend what they're learning, or are they just memorizing what they're taught. Just wondering because my son is in the first grade and seems to have memorized certain math exercises, but doesn't understand why they work. He just knows they do.

Do modern-day feminists believe that "equal rights" is the same thing as "identical rights"?

For most of my life and I don't know why, I've tended to think negatively about many things.

Worries tend to huge concerns and for example, when starting new jobs or schools, I tend to think that no one is going to like me, and for some reason, it materializes and comes true.

Now it's beginning to affect me at my new job, and at first I was really beginning to love it! Now, the negative thinking is starting to take over and I can see how its impacting and influencing how my co-workers see me.

At first I know they liked me, now, due to these thoughts, I think their minds might be changing.

How is someone supposed to change thinking styles such as this, especially when they've lived with it for so long?

It's affecting the job that I love!

Today I had a severe allergic reaction to medication in school. I knew I was having an allergic reaction, but I felt so crappy and ignorant and I wouldn't go to the nurse and I felt so crappy all day. By the end of the day I couldn't even talk without crying (throat felt like closing up), so here I am crying like a little idiot and the people I'm not friends with just judge me on one crappy day. I'm nice every other day, and they only judge me on one situation... GAR! How come people never care when you're being nice, but when you don't feel good, it's time for everyone to make you feel even *worse*?

Do you think people are innately good or bad? Can a person turn out to be a positive influence without a role model?

There seems to be a serious confusion about people (such as myself) who believe men and women are entitled to equal rights, as equal human beings. Being EQUAL is greatly different from being IDENTICAL. We have different physical strengths, sex organs, women give birth, men don't---however, what does this have to do with being valued as equal human beings with the same rights?

A senior citizen is not identical to a junior citizen in so many ways, a white man is not identical with a black man, a short man is not identical with a tall man, but does that mean they should be entitled to less rights as human beings?
