OK....so what if....

(I can lucid dream for starters so this got me thinking)

If I can dream a really cool life....and sleep for 15-18 hours a day. If I am only up 7-9 hours and it sucks...couldn't my lucid dream be more like my real life and my life is only a bad dream??

What if my lucid dream was so good that I got put into a hospital where I was allowed to sleep all the time? Would they let me...

I dream throughout my sleep. Let me preface this by stating I know about REM sleep and the cycles of sleep, etc. Doesn't work like that with me--not for quite awhile. From the moment my head hits the pillow I am already in an internal monologue, which trancends into dreaming.
I have woke up throughout the night several times dreaming a certain dream and it continues each time I fall back to sleep.
My dream life almost challenges my real life. I vivdly remember each dream. Most dreams involve family or friends in some capacity-some are romantic, some are of a same quasi-real place, many are of me on a mission to find something or be somewhere in a hurry. I always seem to be convincing someone of something in my dreams. Thank goodness my dreams aren't scary or violent, though many times the feeling is that I have to do something or there will be dire consequences. Bottom line is I don't get a lot of restful sleep. My mind never rests. Anyone similiar? Any thoughts?

As of late, I've been dreaming of other men besides my husband. What makes it worse is that they aren't strangers. These are of guys that I either used to date or hungout with before my husband and I started to see eachother. But the dreams aren't sexual. There was one dream that I did have sex with the guy but there was no feeling behind it. Does this make me a bad wife or does it mean that there is something missing in my marriage?

I feel really awful typing this out. I was sexually abused as a child, but unlike the normal population, I'm almost "happy" that it happened. It's not like I enjoyed it, but I liked he paid attention to me. My parents were busy at work and hardly making money, so I lived at my grandparents for a few years (he lived with them at 30 years old!). It was my uncle, and I was a little kid, so it's not like I understood what was happening. But to this day, I feel "special." I know it's wrong, but it's like I was pretty enough to be picked out. I was his special little girl. I feel so loved, even to this day. I cried when my parents came to take me back...I barely knew who they were at that point. Family members figured it out because he always wanted to spend time with me. He would take me out to fun places all the time, "help me" fall asleep at night, help me take a shower (when I was at my younger ages), etc. Then at a doctor's appointment, my vagina was "stretched beyond what was normal"

I have been having dreams that I am either pregnant, or in labor pretty frequently for several weeks now. At least once every two weeks. In all the dreams I am happy about the pregnancy, as is the person who's baby it would be. In real life, I'm not so sure this would be the case. Well earlier, I had the same dream except this time the baby died while it was still inside of me. Even so, my stomach was still moving around as it would if I was pregnant and the baby was moving. When I awoke, my stomach was hurting very badly. Why do I keep dreaming about pregnancy, and what does it mean??

I am trying to forgive someone close to me who decided they didn't love me anymore. I feel anger at times for this person, however I genuinely don't want bad things to happen to them at the same time. This "anger" is very rare now as compared to the past several months. Which were at times almost unliveable and very dark. I have taken advice from several other very respected and loved people in my life that have seemed to help with this "anger", but any other outsider thoughts, suggestions would be great as well.

my friend i think maybe a germaphobic.She will not use a public bathroom for her life,she can't walk long distance cause she gets grossed out by the dirt and rocks on the ground and starts itching and has to try to ignore it.The other day we had to walk under a bridge to get to the car port where you pay to park your car,it was trash and dirt all over the ground and she tried not to look down and ran from under there she was weezing when she came out. I don't think this is normal and neither does she what can i tell her?

So this will sound cliche but I just can't figure out women. Theres this girl I really like, and she seems to really like me, but instead she prefers to play guys and make out with this guy who never plans on asking her out. Dating or having a relationship with her in any way. Yes I know this for a fact, he told me in a VERY personal conversation and if you knew the guy you'd understand why he in all sence of the word is a man hore. I don't mean to sound highly of myself because I dont think highly of myself I think of myself as being very average. But I have alot more to offer her than a guy who just wants to make out and play around with her. Shes an amazing girl and has so much going for her that she just can't seem to see. She's funny smart beautiful just an all around amazing person. But she still prefers just playing around with some random guy than getting into any sort of relationship. I feel bad for her knowing that I can never be with her and someone who doesnt care about her

in most of my dreams, ill have some kind of super power, like say being able to fly if i flap my arms, but when i go to use this power, its really difficult, or i cant do it. like, even when i flap my arms as hard as i can, i can only lift off a few feet, and ultimately cant use whatever my power it.

i have dreams like this a lot, always with a different power/scenario, but i always cant use my power, or its incredibly difficult to do so

any ideas what it could mean?

i think i'm feeling depressed.

to start with i think i'm weird. i don't usually feel sympathetic for ppl... but for animals... i do A LOT. My dad is gone... and he isn't exactly a great person... but thats too long of a story to explain. So i love him... but sorta hate him. I'm italian so i have a BIG family. And right now... i have a three year old cousin thats out of control. He says, "f**k you!" and also bites ppl, slaps his parents and grandparents, etc. So... there's always arguing about him. Right now... his parents are having problems which only makes thing worse. THen, when me and the kid argue... i always get blamed, and this makes me mad.

I'm also in school right now.... so its like every day is the same. and this makes me even more mad. I feel like i was born in the wrong place. My passion is in the country, on a ranch, ridin horses. I loove animals... but my mom doesn't. So i can only have a dog. Animals make me happy.

Does it sound like depression??? if so,

these dreams feel very real, and always have an ominous feeling, and at times are scary

This question is for psychologists who have studied the religious phenomenon. When confronted with the obvious contradictions, mistakes, and immoral actions in the bible (such as murders commited by Moses and Joshua, false prophecies, false statements in Genesis, etc.), how can bibliolaters (people who claim the bible is innerant and who at the same time pick and choose what they want to believe) continue to deny that the bible is a synthetic document riddled with errors and untruths? Do they feel any inner conflict over this denial?

Yesterday i went to parkway parade, happen to see a empty parking slot. I quickily drove my car in but halfway thr' i saw a car was going to park that slot too and he came before me. I quickily drove out my car, to let him park. When i drove out, he came out from his car, his face was so black. I wind down the window and apologise to him. End up he scolded something bad. I feel that how come Singapore has turn out to become like this?

I'm a heterosexual male. I'm just gonna be blunt. It's been a long time. Too long! This abstinence is really getting me down. I obviously don't have anyone in my life right now, no girlfriend, no "friend with benefits." I absolutely refuse to lower myself to paying for "services" or putting myself at risk of disease, so don't even think about suggesting that route. I'm definitely not a bar or party person so those won't work for me. I know there is always self-serve, but that gets old and just isn't the same. I know a bunch of you are probably laughing it up, but unfortunately for me, my problem is very real and my question is very real. I'd appreciate some genuine answers. How can I cope with all the pent up sexual tension and frustration?

For example, when I get older I want to fall in love, get married, and have a family. For some people it may to get a certain job, or live in a certain area. This question is mainly for people in high school and younger. Maybe even in college.
