I'm asking because well I do, or it feels like I do. All of my dreams (which are in my control most of the time) always revolve around this enormous place. Towns, schools, stores, train stations ect. Example: i'll dream about living in a house on one dream, and in another i'll walk by that house. All of my dreams seemed to be connected. It happens to me alot...I guess its my "dreamland," I was wondering if it was just me or if it happens to other people too?

A woman, while at the funeral of her own mother, met this guy whom she did not know. She thought this guy was amazing, so much her dream guy - she believed him to be just that! She fell in love with him right there, but never asked for his number and could not find him. A few days later, she killed her sister.

Question: What is her motive in killing her sister?

It seems like people always threaten me (mentally) to do things that will mess up my life (not physically, but emotionally or mentally) and i always get so scared! Example.. If you dont do this..i will tell your parents about that. Or they will hold secrets over my head to blab to the world. these are ppl i deal with every day tho. i'm an adult though and i shouldnt be scared of anyone. I just take threats to heart and i dont know how to blow them off when people say things to me. This question does not in any way have to do with getting beat up or anything physical. I just am always so worried what ppl are going to do to me. I just dont want to care and want to be able to say "fine go ahead" but instead i freak out! How do i not let ppl and words/threats get to me like that. It just seems like everyone i care about loves to see me upset and then give in and comply with what they want.

Coming from the viewpiont that every in conversation with another person you have to edit and present yourself, thus being intentionally or otherise inauthentic, add to this the fact that they have filters with which to process this information. Add to this fact that every person interacts with every other person slightly differently. How big is the distance between how you see that person and how they see themselves? Does it matter?

I read all the time in order to learn as much as possible. I also work on changing bad habits, and working on faults of mine. Plus I practice to get better at what I'm already decent at.

I work for this Dr. who, especially when giving instruction or orders, repeats himself. I swear, he must say the same thing at least three times. My Medical Terminology professor told my class there was an actual name and I can't remember what it was. Can anyone help me out?

For centuries we have been treated unfairly. We have really only in the last 40 years or so been able to become employed full time with benefits. Do men really think we should stay home and not have a choice, or are they amazed at what we have accomplished so far and feel threatened some how? It seems that a lot of men I have spoken too don't like the fact that a women can be independent without them. They no longer can control our lives and sexuality. We can be anything we want. Do some men feel a loss of there ability to bring home the money and control our lives? Do they think that their mothers don't deserve the same advantages as them? We want to make our own money and make our own choices. Is it really that hard to let go of the control they once had?

I normally don't put stock into what I dream in terms of meanings. Only once and that dream has now been put to rest (pardon the pun).
However, I'm getting this one, again...... I'm walking down the street, I trip & fall and when I try to get up, I am paralzyed and cannot walk.

Any suggestions as to what this encompasses?

My husband says my feet are tangled up in the sheets.

I'm a healthy individual who works out and I walk quite a bit.

Really curious as to your thoughts.

Sweet Dreams to all tonight.

I got his number from the phone book and I called and we had a long conversation on the phone. He seemed knowledgable, but he answers his own phone and runs his business at his home. Something just seems weird about him - the way he talks and stuff. I don't know. What are some cues to look for to know if this guy is a weirdo or not?

Sometimes we (men and women) are accused of flirting, when we’re only (as we perceive ourselves) being charming. I have a friend who’s very charming as I see him, in that he is interesting, and draws women to him with his charm, but he never flirts in that he doesn’t make passes at any of the women (he’s very happily married), nor does he make specific sexual references, only humous sexual innuendoes. Yet many people say he’s a big flirt.

Being raised in the South, we were raised to have good manners, but with a little charm thrown in. Sometimes I am also accused of flirting, yet nothing I say involves making a pass at a man.

So what do you see as being charming versus being flirtatious? Does speaking in sexual innuendo make charming turn into flirting?

All thoughts are welcome.

I dreamt last night that the guy I'm seeing (we've only been out on a handful of dates) was marrying me, and we were fighting about inviting his parents to the wedding. (Him and his parents don't get on- I think that's where it may have stemmed from?) I was asking him not to invite them, as they would try and fight with him and my parents, and he was saying he felt like it was an obligation and that he had to.

Can anyone tell me if this has any sort of meaning?

i am self employed and love my job i only work fridays saturdays and sundays and make a decent living off of those days. the rest of the week is kinda wasted on me as i don't really do anything or achieve anything. i want to strengthen my will power to be able to either go out and work during the week or do something productive.

i find that if i go out and try and work it's a real struggle to get started and generally just pack up and go home where as at the weekend i am out and just go for it 4 hours of solid graft. i want to be like that all the time totally motivated totally productive either with work or something else

i'm not looking for self help books but ways on developing as a person in these areas

My fiance had a dream about dead bodies. He said that they were packaged into those vacuum sealable bags that you see on tv advertisements sometimes.

He said that they were in these boxes (That looked like the boxes that candy comes in when your selling it for fund raisers - we had these boxes in our high school) and he said that he stole them from somewhere (A morg or something) and wanted to collect them!

He said that one of the guys that he works with went to his house and wanted to check it out, but my fiance had removed the bodies from the boxes....

He said he woke up in the middle of the night in a panic!!!
What the heck could this mean??(Should I worry?? lol?)
