it happened about four times this month
its kinda hard to explain and sounds weird.
When i get into bed after about ten minutes or so, i start dreaming in first person, in other words about myself in a situation like some people attacking me in a Western movie then i start shooting back and while im in this fight i get shot, my body feels numb, but during this dream im still conscious and i struggle to regain consciousness but my body is paralyzed from my neck down. i start shaking my head until i regain control of my body.
i would describe the experience as the feeling of being possessed or i feel as if i become the person in my dream in real life.
Can someone explain what's happening to me?

Okay it's kind of funny...I was just curious.This is how it went:


The whole 7th grade was going on a field trip to somewhere,I don't remember where.We were riding in a bus and it was really snowy and white outside,we were in the mountains and trees were surrounding us everywhere.There was one pathway we were going on,like you couldn't really go anywhere else if you tried.Then,the bus stopped and before we knew it,me and several of my friends were dropped of in the cold and freezing snow,which was very high on the ground.The bus had gone very quickly and there were no roads and we had no clue where we were.Then we decided to climb up one of the mountains.Along the way,one of my friends who was the biggest took a tree and made a sled out of it with our help.We continued going up the mountain.Once we reached the top very,very high up,at a point practically,the whole sky was blue-white and there was still tons of snow.(Continuing in details.Please wait for that.)

There used to be this myspace group called "dead hooker storage" (though last I checked it was shut down, and the original material only exists on independent users pages now).

It's many jokes included a photo of a storage unit with blood seeping out from underneath and a caption that reads "you're convenience is our pleasure", and a photo of streetwalkers with a caption of "little do they know, I'm behind one of the cars with a gun."

Given that sex walkers are currently a very at risk population for violent crime, I find it to be kind of a creepy thing to joke about. What are your thoughts?

Our country is near India and very congervastive. I had never a girl friend though I am 28 now. I am confused wither our country's women have sexual desire or not because they do not show sexual interest to anybody. I assume may be 10% of them have sexual desire, 80% are neutral and 10% are sex hater. For this reason I feel depressed if I mary a girl here, wither she properly allow me to do sex or not. Beside from many days I feel no sexual desire towards normal women. I only arrouse by thinking about porn actress. They are open minded. They can allow their husbands to do any sexual act. As the are broad minded, they don't blame anybody for having any flaws. They can accept peaople as the are. In present, I think that only porn actress can properly satisfy my sexual desire and if I do not get a porn actress as my wife,my life will be meaningless. As all porn actress live in usa, europe etc, I feel very depressed as it seems impossiblle for me to get a porn actress as my life partner.

I live in frigid madison, wisconsin, and I wnat to live somewhere else. I hate the cold, I hate that i've never lived anywhere else. I like Madison, it superb city. If you are anywhere near hte upper midwest, hopefully in the sumertime, you must visit. But i hate the cold, and i want a change. I'm am planing to graduate college in May, with a major in Psychology and Spanish and a minor in French.
I have considered going to grad school for a ph.d possibly in Psychology... or in my other interest Philosophy. But everyone says its best to work a bit first so you are really sure before you start grad school. I would love to go work down in Texas. preferrably Austin. I want to get out of my parents house, come May or June and have some place to go, preferrably a job lined up. Do you think it can be done?

Do you like your job? More importantly, is a decent paycheck the sole reson you have the job you've got? Or do you work wherever you work because you actually like it? Are people really meant to work like slaves five days a week only to truly enjoy themselves and relax on the weekends? Is this as good as it gets? (If so, this sucks!)

When I was younger, I worked in a number of retail jobs where my boss nitpicked over my appearance, telling me how to wear my hair, telling me how to wear my makeup, insisting that I wear high heels, etc. I've been fired for refusing to wear full eye makeup (I can't, I'm a horrible flincher). I've worked for bosses who told me they picked female employees for their looks (one memorable boss told me "ugly girls don't sell clothing" as she was throwing a resume away). I noticed this happening to a lot of my female co-workers as well.

Has this happened to you? In what industries? And does this happen to men? To what extent?

If you wake and remember your dreams, does that mean you got a good night's sleep because you got to the REM stage? What if you wake and don't remember dreaming? Is it just that you have forgotten your dreams?

During a grab bag with friends, I had to open up a gift in front of them, which embarrassed me a little. Ended up getting the one I brought. Once the group realized, they all felt bad and simultaneously went "Awww". Since the attention was all on me, I tried to back away from the group (and attention), and slightly lifted my shoulders and lowered my head. I quietly said it was ok that I got my own gift. Felt embarrassed from the attention and was blushing. Someone in the group stepped forward and traded gifts with me. The next day, he was talking to me (about something unrelated) and I was very soft-spoken while answering. He started smiling a lot when asking me to repeat myself.

Why did he start grinning?

I have this dream that I am walking towards the front of the building in a hallway in my normal life and then I spot this school girl with long black hair sitting on the corner of a wall. (not on a low wall but litteraly sitting sideways on the wall. I pass her legs first.) She never says anything but she tilts her head and smiles. Then it is like the whole world is tiped on it side. I loose my footing and fall backwards. As I fall the locked door behind me burst open and darkness begins eminating from it like smoke. I fall through the door and it is slammed shut.

Could you interperit this dream?

I am a first year student in college and I have failed all of my classes for the first semester. I do not have any health problems nor has anything tragic happened in my family. My only excuse for failing out is laziness and procrastination. After failing out, my life has been hell and I really regret this. I now have the chance to appeal to the school to allow me back in but I really don't know what to say. Could somebody please help me?

I have 2 sisters (I am a girl..dont mind the avatar) and it seems that they are jealous of me. It is a terrible terrible feeling. I often wondered why they used to exclude me from outings and generally their chat and then a while ago, my mother told me that they are crazy jealous of me. The reasons seem to be that I have a really good job, but it is so unfair as I studied really hard to get this position while neither of them bothered so much. They wanted a social life..boyfriends and all that and I put that on the back shelf to get well qualified. How can I deal with this? Has anyone out there ever experienced this? All I know is that if they do well at anyhthing I am happy for them, I am a caring person but they dont seem to be happy for me when I do well. Why are some people so jealous even of their own siblings? ps it is even infantile..we are not children..we are all over 30 so it is even more hurtful that this carries into adulthood.

When ever I think about the future to just tomorrow it doesn't feel very exciting. I try to think about stuff that I should be excited about but it just doesn't seem to have the same energy as before.

After working in the Contract Security field for 11yrs. , I feel so depressed I can't even tell you. With only a high school level education being 49 yrs. old and not being good in school when I was young, I find there's no way out. People making insulting comments, Examples; Don't sleep too much, don't work too hard, employee's laughing and saying arrest that guy , don't let him in, like your gonna respond like someone who thinks their a cop. The most thankless job I could think of. Let me tell you the effect is so bad that I don't want to even meet new people and never bring up what I do(Which is impossible in a social setting) Never proud of the small paycheck I make. I wonder how many of you people working security have ever felt this way. I'm sure there's quite a few. All I can say is that I show up to work cleanshavin, very neat and do a great job, but the stigma of what others working security through the yrs. has long ruined the image, one that will never change.
