How do you feel when a guy approaches you with a cheesy pick up line, girls? Guys, what are you thinking when you approach a woman with lines of this caliber? Who coined these phrases in the first place?

I had to wake up early this morning to?
drive my friend to work when I came home I layed right back down. Seems like minutes later I felt lifted up. Then I started flying or floating not sure in this tunnel. It was very very odd and soooooo real. The tunnel seemed very very dark, then it would get light and very beautiful and then very dark again. Why i was "flying" it seemed so fast, and I kept telling myself if I wake up this will all go away but for some reason I couldnt wake up. Then eventually i stopped "flying" and woke up. I fell back asleep and had a "dream" I got out of my car for a few moments went to get back to my car and it was gone nowehre to be found i searched and searched for my car. It was so ghostly not a soul. I guess eventually I forgot about my car, I headed home and it seemed I lived in the slums, of all slums in NY. Everyone looked funny and staring at me weird. I kept searching and searching for my apartment in these projects but i just kept going in circles.

Last night after using the bathroom I went back into my sleeping bag that was on the living room floor. Quickly afterwards I had the fallowing dream.
I was in my room, getting up to go get some water. My room light was on but the rest of the house was in the dark.- How it usually is in awoke time.

As I was walking unto the hallway that separates my room from the kitchen I clicked the light switch up It didn't come on. I went to the kitchen and I tried to turn on the light switch there. It didn't come on either. By then my heat started to pump and something just seemed a little to eerie for my liking.
I decided to make a run back to the safety of my room. As I was in the hallway that now had turned into a very long tunnel with me just barley able to see my room door at the end,
I saw I shadowy figure of a human.

( The whole time I was dreaming I actually thought it was real life. That is a first for me. Anyway.. )
My heart was pumping and I was very scared so
I started to run as fast as I could. Behind my closed door that I was getting a little closer to I could see a bit of light under it...I ran faster, and faster...faster then I ever could toward the light.
I felt like my heart was going to burst.

Finally right when I reached my door handle and my shaky hand was turning the knob the shadow figure smashed into me, my body literally felt crushed. I couldn't breathe and I hurt all over.
My back was now to the door and the shadows figure had 'its' two hands on my throat.
I couldn't see "it" because it was too dark but I surly felt 'it'. I tried screaming but nothing come out.

My head felt light, I was twisting and turning my body, trying to yell, cry, or just make a sound.
I felt like I was dying. But then like a sudden flash
I saw a book right in my reach. I grabbed it and started to bang it on the door, as hard and fast as
I could. Somehow I just knew if I did that my parents
( whom are dead. May the R.I.P. )
would come. The hands on my throat got tighter and tighter until I felt like my head was going to pop off. But I kept banging my door with the book, more frantically then ever. Finally the figure left me alone. I still felt it was there.
But it was no longer touching me.

I then went into my room. The light was on but I was still terrified. I was just standing by the light, afraid it would go out, crying, then I yelled out hoarsely that come out as a whisper 'mummy, daddy!' Immediately they came.
My father picked me up while my mum walked me out the same hallway I had just be fighting for my life in. I felt safe though. They then took me to a sunny outside dinner, opened the book I had been banging the door with and prayed with me.
I then fell asleep. And that's all I remember.

My fellow mates whom had been sleeping on the ground with me said I had me kicking and turning in my sleep, I also had been whimpering.
Right when they were going to wake me I went into a peaceful sleep. They then did the same.


Just out of curiosity is my subconscious trying to tell me something or is this a deeper psychology issue?

Last night I had this weird dream...

I was standing by a pool and all of a sudden I felt weak and fell into the pool and sank to the bottom. I was starting to drown when this guy [I have no idea who he was] pulled me out of the water. This is when I woke up.

I have no idea what the dream means, but I would like to know as it is kind of unsettling...

Thanks for the help/suggestions...

I have a way, though not intentional of addressing individual by their full proper name and not the contracted forms they normally go by. Example: Mike I address as Michael, Bob is Robert and Sue as Susan. Is there something in my my subconcious mind compelling me to do this? (note: this is just a fun question. Though true, this is nothing that is seriously bothering me or anything).

The first one was i was billing someone for $879 dollars, i had an invoice typed up and everything, but I have no idea who it was that I was billing. The 2nd dream was that I was gathering up dollar bills, there was so many of them, and when I added them up they amounted to $879 dollars... Then last night I had a dream, but it was just like a marquee in my head, scrolling the numbers 879 ... what do you think about it?

Have you ever thought that God gave you something in exchange of something?
Like me, I'm having a real hard time cutting my hair, it is reeeallly long, I mean It's like the length of the top of my thigh. So I want to cut it, a little, but I'm really smart at school, and I've read the bible several times, that story about Sanson and his long hair and his strength. So I'm afraid that if I cut my hair, I might lose my intelligence, I know it's really childish, but I really want to make sure it is all going according to God's word, and I wanted to ask someone for advice too. [ that's where you guys come in] btw. I am 13 years old.
Please no rude answers.
Thanks.

Two years ago I went on Lexapro (4mg) and Welbutrin (300mg) for depression (dosages were determined after a few months of trial and error.) I' ve gained weight (50 lbs) and lost my libido. A month ago, I dropped the lexapro but kept the Welbutrin. It has been an adjustment emotionally - but when I'm not a raging jerk - I want sex finally. However, I am still eating like crazy.
Another part of my story is that when I was younger, I used drugs. This is what I noticed: Cocaine had NO affect on me while pot chilled me out and Meth made me EXTREMELY OCD.
As of the last ten years, I have quit all the other drugs except pot - and since I was about 26 - I basically smoke four times a year (New Years, 4th of July, Camping, etc). I am now 33 years old. and I have noticed that when I smoke - I am more clear-headed about my goals - my bitchy behavior - and my eating. It wears off, however, when the high does.
What does this mean? It seems like a chemical imbalance, but what? Thanks in advance.

do you prefer a man who can take charge, do you prefer to be in charge or do you prefer absolute 50/50?

You can give percentages too. Ex. I want to be in charge 30% of the time etc.

the last time i saw him was before i migrated to new zealand

since we moved to new zealand, i have been having recurrent dreams that I am with this guy..

in the start of my dreams, we are like strangers to each other

then we flirt, then we start to like each other, then we start going out and kissing etc.

i once had a dream, it was probably 2 to 3 months ago, we were playing tennis and went to the changing rooms, and got changed infront of each other, seeing each other naked. the weird thing is i ddnt even know what he looks like now, i mean we were only 12 when we last saw each other.

everytime i dream about him, we look like what we are supposed to look like now..we dont look like what we did 6years ago

do i just miss my childhood or what? i mean its been 6 years

i am in a loving and committed relationship with my boyfriend and bestfriend for almost 2 and a half years now

by saying high IQ people, i m referring to those genius whose IQ are 140 and above.

there are 2 genuis in my class, one is 147 and another one is 168. It seems like they live in their own world, one of them like to talk to imaginative stuff, and another one looks like a loner and has extraordianary bad temper.

there's another genius from the next class who acts really abnormally. He would not listen to anybody, nor care about what's happening around him. He once played with a sponge in the art room, squeezing water, absorbing water, squeezing water, absorbng water (and this goes on) without noticing his uniform was soaked in water. Everyone got mad over him for wetting their bags and stuffs but he didnt response. It seems like he is totally emotionally unavailable.

They were in a special class in the past years, until this year that the school system had changed and they are allowed to study with us, the 'commoner'
