In my dreams, whenever I'm about to die, i wake up. Also, in my dreams, whenever i do something that i should die (like falling from great heights) i do not die, but i wake up shortly after.
Do u always wake up before u die?

I had a nightmare the other night, first one i had in a few years. The nightmare happened while i was in my house and there was my back door open. I looked around and saw a man crouching down behind something. I pointed at him and he came over with a weapon and just before he killed me, i woke up. I know it was a dream, and im 15, but how come i'm still kinda scared. I know it can't happen cause i live in a peacefull town but it could happen...
why does this happen to me?

People are extremely closed minded about these kinds of subjects. In fact, by reading the question you may have assumed that I am some sort of white supremacist or anti-semite. I am not.

I admire certain things about Adolf Hitler. He had a rough life and worked very hard to get to be the ruler of a great nation. He was an outstanding soldier during World War I and almost won World War II. He was an intelligent, educated man. I do not agree with his anti-semitism and hatred towards Jews, and how he had innocent people slaughtered.

Think about it abstractly. To call me a racist makes you prejudice. Does anyone agree with me? I admire him for his positive aspects--not the bad things he's done.

Haha this seems like a really silly question to me but anyway, I think my boyfriend is honestly jealous of my dog.

It's her birthday and she'll be one on Thursday and we bought her some birthday presents and we're having a little get together with her brothers and sisters. He said, you didn't go to that much trouble for my birthday (really I've gone to far more trouble, but I'm going to wait until I can give him his present)

My boyfriend and I have been long distance for almost 3 years.

I love both my boyfriend and my dog. My boyfriend said before 'You and Tilly have such a good relationship together'. He just asked what I was up to and I said I was lying in bed snuggling up with Tilly and squishing her ears and he said 'You can squish my ears'. Hahaha.

Do you think he's jealous, and is it wrong or strange for him to be? He knows I love him just as much, if not more than my dog.

When the enlightened matriarchs take the right and proper place as guardians of society and the media and society start reflecting healthy, appropriate, sensible values, how much will men's tastes be transformed? Being that our tastes, desires, and preferences are largely, if not entirely the result of such (now pernicious, but in the feminist future, wholesome) influences, what can we foresee our sons and grandsons fantasizing about?

About me:

I'm 25 years old. After turning 18, I did four years in the military and ever since I've been out I've been going to college and studying computer science. Throughout my entire life, I have preferred to be alone. I go to the movies alone. I eat alone. I live alone. When I am at school, I read alone, and study alone. Catch the trend? I just want to be left alone. I am sick of people accusing me of being lonely and having social issues. I am not lonely--I just don't like anyone and I want to be left alone at all times and in every aspect of my life. I only talk when the situation demands it--such as at work or when dealing with co-workers and in-class discussions.

Can you tell me if there is something fundamentally wrong with people to not understand that people like me exist? I live alone, travel alone, and one of these days I will die alone.

So back to my original question--why won't people get the drift and leave me alone? Are any of you like me?

I'm 23yrsold, currently live alone, and work 60hrs a week! I'm so tired of it, but my financial situation isn't giving me much room to do anything else at the moment. I have to come up with money for school, and pay off some previous debt as fast as possible, which I'm working on. I have a guy friend of mine, who I used to date & since then, we've been Friends With Benefits on and off for a couple years now. Well he's currently NEEDING a roommate, and is in a financial situation himself, and has asked me to move in with him, if I'd like, sharing a one bedroom with him, that way we could both get our finances back into shape and also be able to continue going to college. We almost have a business relationship of sorts, we respect each other, though we are not that close, and we hook up every once in a great while now. We both have steady jobs. My only question is, if i were to move in with him, would it be weird? Would this be a bad thing to do? Pros and Cons? He's 23yrs old too.

I have really bad anxiety problems, very horrible ones. Lately thought every time i go to sleep (napping included) i wake up in the middle of it and freakout. Like I woke up recently in the middle of my sleep and saw the shaddow of my windows perpendicular to it, and i felt confused, i thought "that's not where my window is suppose to be at" it took me a minute to decipher the fact that it was a shaddow. Sometimes i wake up and just stand up all anxious and what not. does anyone know what this could be? also, Lately i've been feeling very strange, for example everytime i speak to my family i feel like i'm drunk or high and they know it, eventhough i'm neither high nor drunk, i just feel conscious like that. does that make sense? anyways, does anyone know what this could be? is it just anxiety at its worse?

As we go through life, we do things to people that we cannot take back. Often you think back and you regret that it happened and wished you could take it back as well as make amends to the person who was affected by your bad choices. Tell me something that you did that you regret and what would you say to the person if you ever had a chance to apologize.

Tonight I reviewed many questions and answered several unrelated to my question. I noticed many questions that contained an element of homosexuality questioning. What is so interesting about the sexuality of an other?

That there is a difference between (1) being able to do everything a women can do; and (2) doing it as well as a woman? Since far more males are diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder than females then doesn't make sense to leave all the jobs that requires the most concentration to women? How happy would you be with a surgeon who forgot what he was about to do in the middle of open heart surgery on your loved one?

fear expressing their emotions? Some seem to have serious emotional constipation and think this is a GOOD THING: "DON'T/NEVER be emotional', Man should never be emotional...NEVER be emotional!" Display of appropriate emotion at appropriate times is a sign of GOOD mental health whereas 'flat affect' is a sign of POOR mental health. How do men manage to get so out of touch with themselves - still - in this day and age, and why?

Can woman be fireman and other jobs based primarily on physical strength-- Absolutely. Are there woman who can do them better than me--Absolutely. However, can the strongest woman do the job as well as the strongest 10% of men--Absolutely not.

So that means elite combat and police units (where strength and speed is a major requirement) will always be strictly men, true?

i had a dream i was putting my security code in and I could not remember the code (in real life i had actually lost my security code). So as the alarm went off I felt like I was falling. I knew I was dreaming but could not wake my self up. I woke up with my head feeling really weird. And my girlfriend said I was screaming. Not that it means anything but it was also the morning of my 27th birthday. Any suggestions?

I'll start off by saying I'm a 24 year old male with good family life this dream has haunted me for the past 10 years
Its just dark and I'm walking. I see a 11 or 12 year old girl wearing a white night slip, she has black hair and pale white . she is holding out her hands to me and her wristes are cut deep. she looks at me and says "can you see?" she says it like she feels sympothy for me. she looks sad and in a lot of pain. I run up to her to grab her but as my arms start to wrap around her she is gone and I never touch her. I walk some more in total blackness. I see her again, same thing. this happens four or five times then I wake.
