I need help finding additional questions to ask a dying person to gain perspective on what it feels like to know you're dying. This would be an interview with someone i do not know, but who is open to this type of personal discussion....not looking for personal stories and past histories but just a general idea on the thought process, beliefs, and understandings of those who know their time is finite on this earth.

here's what i have so far.....

1. What do you believe happens after you die?

2. What would you like to accomplish before you die?

3. How do you want to be remembered after you're gone?

4. Are you afraid of death?

5. Would you consider life prolonging treatments to add years to your life if you knew you would be in pain and bedridden for the vast majority of that time?

6. Do you have any regets in life?


I need about 5 or 6 more, similar to these.....any serious suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Off late I'm having the strangest dreams.. a couple of nights ago I dreamt I was having sex with an old man on a huge bed with violet canopies on all side... and it felt extremely real. Later that same night I dreamt I was passionately kissing some man, and last night, I dreamt I was sitting next to a man I was extremely attracted to, I could *feel* the attraction, we held hands and eventually kissed.

About me, I'm in my early 20s, love my life, not in a relationship, but am looking to be in one :-)

Any response on the dreams would be appreciated! Best answer gets 10 points!

For the past three months I have been waking up around 2:30 - 3:00am in a pool of sweat, and I find myself in a state of dread and fear. Like someone is pushing my chest down. I then can't fall asleep for an hour until it goes away. Now it's to effect my work days. What is this that im experiencing?

I recently had a dream where this dark shadow almost in the form of a Grim Reapor was pulling at me, outside my bedroom and I was resisting as he pulled me. Freaked me out. Is there something trying to tell me something?

street value...recent headlines show heroin deaths on the rise, among a younger crowd..."cheese" heroin, costing 2 bucks a hit, is killing grade school kids in Dallas; Boston is seeing a series of deaths from heroin cut with fentanyl. Heroin is getting so cheap tha dealers are working overtime thinking of ways to process and re-package it the way coke was repackaged as crack in the 80s.

Wherever our armies go, that determines the drugs we see on our streets...heroin when we were in southeast asia, then coke and crack when we were busy in central america, now we're in Afghanistan and heroin is making new inroads...my question:
Should we include the societal costs of the drug scourge as part of the cost of war?

On wikipedia it says: "A nation with a trade deficit will experience reduction in its foreign exchange reserves which ultimately lowers (depreciates) the value of its currency." Why does a reduction in the foreign exchange reserves lower the value of currency?

The book about relationships that is how to get a husband...does following The Rules work? Or is it sexist crap to get women playing games and trying to manipulate men?

Anyone living in Lilydale New York is most encouraged to answer this question. I would like to talk to a real medium about some things. If it wasn't for my own abilities to pay attention and trust my intuition and thoughts warning or guiding me, my life now wouldn't as serene as it is now. Thank you for any sincere insight.

Is it sexist that men don't cry?
Is it difficult to treat people as equal but different because of this?
