Psychology - March 2007

ive noticed that i almost always walk on the left side of whomever i am walking with. i am right handed. could the side one chooses to walk on simply be connected with handedness? if so, what psychological reasoning could be prescribed to one's walking on the "unexpected" side, were they to do so? what other reasoning may be connected with such a consistent affinity? simply habit? also, what reasoning might be connected with the choice by a pair of people walking together to walk closer to a wall as opposed to the open center of a hall? is this usually a mutual choice or is it controlled by one of the two individuals (the one closer to the wall who would draw the other toward, or the one toward the center who would push the other toward)? if the latter, what psychological reasoning could be connected with either individuals actions? furthermore, what reasoning might one person have for being the one walking closer to the wall as opposed to being the one toward the "outside"?

I'm doing a project on improving memory in Alzheimer's patients. It is NOT research based but more my own type of experiement. I need suggestions on different methods I could try to help people improve their memory. For example, using colors as triggers for other things (red makes them remember they like apples). This example is already being used in the project and I still need to come up with some more. ANY suggestions would be greatly apprieciated as I'm starting to run out of time.

But Whil i did this i felt a huge energy sensation around my head. it felt like everything in my mind was....boxed in, to say the least, i felt mentally trapped. Can somebody saggest another strategy to keep my thoughts inside without confining my mind?

My friend has been seeing a woman who told him she has "separation anxiety, " as diagnosed by her psychologist, who specializes in relationships. Is this just a ploy to keep a sensitive, caring man from leaving her? (She has a sad history of breakups initiated by the men, not by her.)
She's highly educated, has a job that takes her all over the world, and is away from her children (15 and 13) for months at a time. She's also strong-willed, has very firm opinions, and has been advised by her psychologist to be more "pliable" and less insistent on her own way in relationships. Is it possible that a person like this truly does suffer from "separation anxiety?"

I'm talking about dreams people get when asleep. Even Lucid dreaming.

If you want to share dreams/goals in life, that's also good.

I was just reading the responses to today's question about dreams, and it instantly brought up a question of my own. Do we actually leave our bodies during sleep? The dreams I have are so vivid and so life-like. I dream of people I have never seen before, yet they know my name without me telling them. How is that possible?
