I attended a stage hypnotist's show a couple of nights ago with a bunch of friends and I volunteered for him. I remember him hypnotizing me (which did not take long, since I'm quite succeptible to hypnosis according to a test I took earlier) along with some others, and then I remember almost nothing until he woke us up. The only thing I remember when I was hypnotized was the hypnotist telling me to do something involving running around the room, me telling my mind not to, but my body still running around the room. I was told I was a hit. My friends said among the things I did was act like a chicken and think that the hypnotist was insulting my mom. I am also told I did quite a bit of dancing, as I apparantly danced the Village People, Madonna, and as someone hoping to attract MTV's attention by dancing as crazily as possible. Anyway, I felt rather groggy for the rest of the night and I was wondering if this is a side effect of hypnotism or what.

This happens to me a lot, and I really hate it!! I'm not an idiot, it just takes me longer to learn certain things. Are there certain things about someone's personality or appearance that immediately affect how intelligent you perceive them to be?

For years I have dreamed that we live in a house that we find has many more beautiful rooms sometimes filled with statues and art, sometimes just extra storage (closets/built in shelves). Sometimes access to these rooms is difficult like sqeezing through a clostriphopic space. Any ideas on what this could mean?

I was wondering why my psychiatrist ask me if there are any thoughts of harming myself? Do you think this is not a polite question to ask a patient like me?

Counselling is related to Psychology which is a Science subject, yet there is no actual proof of hypothesis.

To understand how counselling works one has to know what actually happen during a session. There is no push button or quick fix. It is not about giving advice, beyond that the ability to encourage the use client resources in resolving his/her own problems.

Many people shy away because of face, beyond that they are wondering whether counselling works. There are many people who have problems that they are unaware or aware of the issues but just brush problems aside. So why are these people not seeking help?

There are many arguments about dreams: do they reveal our subconscious desires? Are they merely a catalogue of our most mundane thoughts? Or are they some form of contact with the Divine (not Divine himself, I hope)? The most popular misconception about dreams is that they are interesting. There is nothing on earth duller than listening to other people tell you their dreams. It is like listening to a story without proper characters, narrative and form.

I'm sure I saw once Sting in a pub cheering on the Newcastle football team. Can I remember who I was with? No. Can I remember where I was? No. Am I convinced it's a real memory? Not any more.

well it started like this I liked this boy and usual whenever I went out I saw him, well he was stupid so I dont like him

but still saw him very his silly face, the thing is he works at this place

what can I say I use to see him, then he wasnt showing up, so anytime I bought something nice for myself or anything , he would turn up , so I just didnt want to keep the thing I bought because I saw him, it happend again, so I believed what ever I bought if I saw him I shouldnt keep it, cause if I keep it I would see him,

but now I dont see him, and he works at this place where I need to buy my food, so im so careful that what ever I buy I dont end up going to the place he works, but sometimes I need to go and I dont thinking that I got this new thing on and if I see him its becaue of my stuff like clothes or whatever is because of that

please I know this sounds so crazy I just want this stupid habit to disappear what should I do

I am growing out my hair for the locks for love thing (donate healthy hair to make wigs for cancer patients) This is something I am excited about, and tell people all the time that they should do it too.
I had a dream that I cut my hair and threw it on the floor. I don't know why.

is there something you do or think that frightens or unnerves you or that you are ashamed of etc...i have an interest in human behaviour and have a small theory about suppressed feelings/thoughts...it could be anything from wanting to do something you consider really kinky to losing your temper to eating 3 ice creams standing on your head on sundays...however they bizarre they sound...they are still your thoughts...;0)
