i am joining the navy and once a week i have to visit my recruiters( until i leave in mid feburary). usually it is the same ol' stuff, but this one time a person very high in rank came to "visit" us and watch us do our physical training. it was an older lady, say...50. and i had a horrible urge to tackle her to the ground. just to spear her with all my might. i'm not sure why, maybe because she was so "special" and "honorable". i don't even know what was going on in my psyche. do you? and, do you ever get urges to totally do something horrific like that just for the heck of it (or whatever psycological reasoning)?

If you have something that is 90% good and 10% bad, should you focus on the good and loving the situation you are in or the bad and improving the situation that you are in? Doesn't it make sense that people who focus on improving the bad get further in life and become more successful and people who focus on the good just become complacent? However, who wants to focus on negative all the time... that would be a sad.

A close family member has always been more emotional, sensitive, and easily offended than the rest us. At age 23, she had a bizarre episode and basically became catatonic. Not sure what to do, we rushed her to the ER. She came out of her catatonia, but still acted very strange (uncooperative, inconsolable, frantic). The docs did a complete neurological exam but couldn't find anything. This person eventually goes back to being normal.

The same catatonic episode (with erratic behavior) recurs 18 months later, and again the docs don't know what is wrong.

The same thing happens 4 months later, and a month after that.

A year later, this person has an exremely disturbing episode where she is absolutely wild, cannot stop moving, cannot stop talking, talks about things that don't make sense, talks about how all her problems are other people's fault.

This behavior returns 3 weeks later.

Doctors have not been able to give a diagnosis, so what's wrong?

This is a recurring nightmare I have had for at least 15 years. I know it is hard for anyone to interpret it exactly, but I would really like to know what other people think about it.

I am usually on an island, either driving or in a beach home. A terrible storm approaches and the entire island is quickly flooded. In addition to the ocean floods, there are usually several to many tornadoes swarming around. As the sky gets darker and darker, the water rises slowly to the point where I cannot escape. I panic and try to run/swim to safety but I am unable to. Before me I see many other people also drowning and cannot do anything to help them or myself. Sometimes I am with a loved one and they also drown. Then, horrifyingly, I sometimes even die myself in my dream or at least I think I die because everything just simply goes black and then I wake up. Variations of this dream may simply have the tornadoes and no flood, and instead of dying I just witness total destruction around me.

Ideas?

I need to develop a fake program I could implement in a school for my ed. research class that can help lower the achievement gap between these two races. How could I do this without singling out one particular group? Could I pick a class...give a test...see the difference btwn the two...give the test again after implementing my program...and then compare the scores to see if the gap has shifted?

Last night I had a strange dream and I was wondering if anyone with dream interpretations could help me out to understand.
I entered a room that was 4' x 6' with doors on both sides of the room. I was going to open the one door and as I was unlocking the door to open it I felt someone tap me on the shoulder as I turned around to look all I could see was an arm pull away and disapper through the crack between the door and the frame. I ran out of the room ( I know it was a mans arm ) another strange fact was it was a black man.....why would I know the race?
I also remember meeting him and he needed someone to drive with him....not sure where....but I went with him.
Another thing I remembered was him asking me why I wasnt interested in him and I told him that he scared the **** out of me and I just walked away.
The part that bothers me the most is when I was tapped on the shoulder and saw the arm disappear through the door....and I knew the sex & race?????? Help me understand

What would drive another to purposely try to make a person go crazy? Assuming you overheard it with your own ears. Assuming you know it to be true... Someone is trying to hurt you by making you go crazy, for instance doing something and pretending it never happened, playing mind games, trying to make you believe you are crazy.. what is the purpose of this?
